“There is red and white tape all over doors and entrances to buildings everywhere in the country now. More police have started patrolling the streets to prevent break-ins or quell the potential stirrings of widespread panic. This doesn’t seem necessary as Singaporeans seem benumbed or overly determined to keep to their ordinary routines of running chores, exercising in parks or visiting one another’s homes, as if no pandemic is happening at all. Our Singaporean pragmatism is remarkable: it remains the perfect defence mechanism for shielding us from even ourselves, keeping us from drowning in the senselessness of everything that is happening.” — from “Blue” by Cyril Wong in Fish Eats Lion Redux
