become a stranger

On the first day when Macau entered a relatively static state, my family and I followed the government's instructions and went to the reserved site for nucleic acid testing at the scheduled time. The haze of the plague is anxiety-provoking, with all kinds of threatening language flashing in the mind, touching things at your own risk, wearing the wrong mask at your own risk, wandering the streets without a reasonable explanation at your own risk. When these forced voices keep repeating, Macau becomes an unfamiliar city, and we become an unfamiliar selves.

The inspectors are dedicated and responsible, and the test stick penetrated into the unfathomable depths, making people want to cry. I can't tell if it's an individual staff member's shot too hard this time, or whether it's an emotional reaction after being checked 7 times in a row. There is also relative anxiety about such inspections on relatively quiet days. After returning home, they urged each other to take a shower and wash the clothes they had just worn. The whole family cooperated consciously, tacitly, and without complaints. But doing this over and over again, plus the corresponding after-care cleaning, is actually not a simple task, and it is not a simple task that can be completed in 15 minutes. Regarding various measures that appear at any time, it only takes a few words to read out, and what is written in black and white is just a few lines of text, but the meaning of interpretation may vary widely, and the details of implementation are even more annoying.

The city has entered a relatively static state, and people with pets at home are the most excited, because in the press conference on the epidemic, the official representative made it clear that taking pets for walks and defecation during this period is non-essential activities, and those who violate the order can be prosecuted. Caring owners are facing a huge challenge this time. How can they treat their pets well under such a ban? They say it's a century-old problem.

Yesterday, two people were suspected of violating the provisions of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Law for violating epidemic prevention measures. One was a local who went out for a run, and the other was a Vietnamese who was sitting on a stone-level in a large sambar and using a phone without wearing a mask. They will be handed over to the Prosecutor's Office for investigation.

Chatting with family about what we want to do most after the plague: we want to drink tea, gather with relatives and friends, want to be outside, want to play in the water park all day, want to go to work and exchange snacks with colleagues, want to sing k, want to go crazy Barbecue, want to do all the things that the plague can't do, and then forget about the troubles caused by the plague. It's a pity that these are just fantasies. Familiar activities and things we love are drifting away. In recent years, we have been struggling to survive, but we have lost the sense of normal life.

Recently, many people on the Internet like to criticize others. It seems that they have forgotten that it is impossible to blame other citizens and cannot express the hardships that everyone has endured. The mood gets worse, and it's more likely that everyone's situation will be more difficult because someone is taking the wind in the wrong direction. In fact, in a broad sense, ordinary citizens are all one. In these extraordinary times, it is not easy for us to separate each other. Perhaps the better way for people to protect themselves now is to help each other and find a way out. This will always be better than magnifying conflicts and provoking divisions.

Because I bought some ingredients a few days ago, I made simple dishes at home yesterday, such as curry chicken, fried fish, and blanched green vegetables. It was difficult to think of more changes when I was in a bad mood. Fortunately, my family did not complain.

I bought kelp and mung beans before, and I will cook mung bean paste later when I feel better.
