As I understand it, anyone in the lockdown area, resident or not, is liable to be held and tested - I honestly don't know if they're doing in-person services at the synagogue (I'm a twice-a-year sort of person) right now or not, but if anyone was there for the end of Sabbath service on Saturday evening, I'd *hope* they'd be allowed out. If not, I'm sure someone will give them a room/bed for the night...
There’s something strange
in the neighborhood
who you gonna call?
If it makes you feel better I now live in the mid-levels but I can't afford to have a car or a carpark. My wife and I work our butts off to make rent here (and we do live close to the Robinson place case so we are obviously concerned) - we live here because schooling options are generally better than our previous neighborhood of North Point.
We do frequent the gym and yoga studios because its our primary channel of entertainment / stress relief. We wear masks at the gym and get tested on a regular basis.
Understandably the latest outbreak feels like a class war (make no doubts, I also judged the Tai tai dancing cluster) but I think that people need to understand that even the Mid-Levels are not 100% expat. My building, similar to Robinson Place, is probably 80-90% local vs a few expat or mixed families.
Bottom line we're in this together - it's ultimately a matter of how quickly we can get herd immunity via vaccination.
That one had a lot of potential with the Gaw Yatch and some Exco guy's wife not answering her phone for 13 days and then doing 1 day quarantine. But the govt has wised up since then - hopefully.I also judged the Tai tai dancing cluster
I agree. It doesn’t feel right for so many good reasons... but maybe it works?Original Post Deleted
For what it’s worth, from our personal experience tonight, it looks way more dramatic than it is. For us, at least, it was faster than the testing centre this morning. And tomorrow at 9am it’ll be over. Not that we ever go out that early on a Sunday. In the end, still much better than real, protracted lockdowns in many other countries.
