TO MOST of us, the soaring number of those down with Covid-19 infections and fatalities may form mere statistics, but please, do remember that they are also human beings with families. Such statistics should prompt us to be more alert and to comply strictly with the standard operating procedures.
Whether we like it or not, we must try our level best not to be in the statistics by ensuring our own self and loved ones fully adhere to strict regiments whenever you are outside, or even at home. This virus is already in the community, as the legal experts say, and so, we must really conform to strict regiments of the dos and don’ts. Don't make those restrictive measures a laughing stock as and when you please. The incident on the eve of Hari Raya on Thursday (May 13) night, where over 200 residents of apartments in Sentul had gathered simply to play fireworks, poke fun at the system, thus endangering and opening themselves up to the virus. Who in the right frame of mind would do this, we may ask, but the high cases of non-compliance prove that some selfish people among us would just throw caution to the wind.
