“Out for a cheeky pint” Covid check list

More from Harry
SCMP’s daily cartoonist, Harry, Commenting on the latest stuff you gotta take with you to go out. Now it’s a RAT test, in addiction to your vaccine pass (triple), your “leave home safe” app, your ID card and your mask. Many have cancelled going our coz of the hassle. And for some reason the Post has taken ot upon itself the task of policing adherence to the rules.

The Post also continues putting stories marked “Coronavirus crisis” stories on its front page, because… well… just because. And then, periodically, wonder why people remain “fearful”. “Don’t be fearful” they say from time to time, while every day front-paging a “coronavirus crisis”. Go figure.

Singapore’s main paper, The Straits Times has nothing about Covid anywhere on its pages, let alone on its front page. They’re getting along with normal life. 

Meantime, one of our household members is heading off to Portugal on Sunday. We'll see how that goes. Heading off to Europe, or wherever used to be such an everyday thing.
