So last week was a normal week. Well as normal as normal can be. I started and finished all of my visa paperwork. I was actually at the hospital and I heard a doctor tell a patient to remove his mask. Perhaps it was a respiratory related issue. I made up my own mind that I will not remove mine. Of course no one asked me to.
So I am relaxing at home late last week. I get a notification on my phone. I translate it. It basically says that due to the improving situation (a slow down the spread of the disease), they would no longer be sending alert messages.
Ok so I felt good for moment. Perhaps this is a good thing. Uh no it was not. You see when I saw those messages I would then take certain actions. Avoid certain areas, or even stay away from restaurants period. Due to the lack of alert messages we would go out more. The alert messages allowed me to prepare my family for some of the short lockdowns we had last year. Now, they will only update on Iksan cities social medial sites. Last week there were 8 confirmed patients. This means that perhaps 30-40 others are self quarantining themselves. These people are not counted. So this means that when they report numbers you must assume that there are more cases.
They the authorities do not want to create a panic. However, it seems to me they want to limit our access to almost real time information. So we will be locking down again for 2 weeks. No social meetings, no visitors at our house, restaurants are a no go, as well as bars, we will be ordering out a bit more. What will not change is our exercising. We might change the hours though on Saturday. Many people are on the routes we like to walk on the weekends.
So there you have it. No more alerts due to the situation getting better (last week was the largest increase many weeks) due to things getting better. Ugh.
