The much anticipated Hong Kong to Singapore travel bubble has been postponed, two days before launch as fears of a Fourth Wave grips Hong Kong. Each time Hong Kong feels like it's in the clear, a cluster emerges. Complacency combined with what appears to be a high contagious disease, results in the dance of social distancing rules being relaxed and tightened; and so the dance continues. The latest outbreak has been tied to the Starlight Dance club, which on face value looks to be a fairly innocuous establishment, until you research and see what was really happening at these meet ups.
So, as expected Hong Kong has re-implemented social distancing measures and will look to reduce venue capacities and operating hours in attempt to stem the latest outbreak. It's quite timely, as I was just saying to myself "It's time to get back into the social scene" - the introverted side of my had completely embraced covid and the pause that it had provided for my social life. In all honestly I'm surprised there hasn't been a cluster at bars or restaurants with many floating the social distancing and mask wearing requirements.
As we draw towards the pointy end of the year, it is a known fact that most people have back-loaded their annual leave, hoping for a Christmas Miracle. However, with corporate looking to wrap up in early December suddenly the Christmas and New Years period is looking less appealing for taking annual leave. 2020 maye have one the strangest silly seasons to date.
