Ratholes


 Hi Natty!  How are you doing over there?  Are you keeping your social distancing amidst the pandemic?  Hm... the local Covid cases has increased sharply since they implemented the latest lockdown.  This tells me that people saw Perlis as a green zone and fled here, bringing the disease along with them.  But I thought that they closed the state borders!  Oh well, corruption is a workaholic.  Corruption knows no pandemic, and they don't appear to have the means to plug all the ratholes from the south.  I wonder if they're going to cancel this week's Friday prayer...

I believe the primary super spreader is large amounts of people crammed together in poorly ventilated spaces like offices, prisons, labor hostels etc.  This includes large families living together in stuffy houses.  What's the solution for that?  It can't be possible to have everyone work and live in open fields with giant fans pumping?  And just because you ventilate your space doesn't mean you're not going to get an overwhelming dose of the virus?  The most practical solution seems to be social distancing, even in personal spaces.  The offices, prisons, labor hostels may have to operate in open fields...  Oh no, it might rain again!
