Re: last boost - something i noticed with my medic friends here, even with (or especially because) our public healthcare, they tend to be very right-wing/neoliberal with regards to personal choices. I've got some thoughts why, but it's also why I'm unsurprised by the performance of the just-replaced minister. #tootSEA#Malaysia
OMG Naomi Wu actually managed to bring to market her far-UVC lights, which are magically germicidal and make it much safer to eat in public. I know UV sounds scary, but it's a pretty safe part of the spectrum, and she's figured out a design that maximises protection while making it even safer. https://cybernightmarket.com/products/mini-far-uvc-lights-set
Today's free tip from a Muslim: we generally don't write it as "allah akbar." Antisemites who don't have Muslim friends who want to terrorize Jewish people might though, wallahualam.
@rakyat am definitely sympathetic even if it's coming from James Chin, who's notorious in his analyses (tho useful for me to read, like Siti Kasim's posts lol)
It's not even close to the top of the horrors and present dangers faced by Gazans, but I recall the aftermath of 9/11 and the lifelong respiratory conditions caused to firefighters, rescue teams and residents due to demolition dust, containing ash, asbestos, concrete, plastic and fibreglass particulate matter and other toxic materials.
The explosive demolition of 50% of Gaza's buildings will have huge consequences for public health in Gaza for generations.
I was very worried I passed #Covid to my parents, whom I met for breakfast on Sat. Fortunately, they are negative. I think #Malaysia has gotten lax over masking. Masking mandates have been lifted, but not for public transportation (as far as I know) but more than half are not masking. I believe I caught COVID last week when I was in a packed train to KLCC. -_- Most were not masking. I was, but it's almost a pointless exercise.
I think I will be avoiding crowded LRTs & malls from now on.
@liztai ya man, quite frust esp it's evident it's lowkey coming back. You see how international rhetoric about masking has caused us to be looney tunes? Even now at haze season, unlike before, ppl stubborn. Best, not even haze now will make you mask. Deranged. Again let gwailos kill us.
