COVID-19: don't ditch the mask wardrobe yet
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/measures-put-in-place-at-westlite-woodlands-dormitory-covid-19-14672690
17 men who had recovered from COVID-19 in 2020 have tested positive again, though it's not clear yet if this is an actual re-infection or they are what the article calls "persistent shedders."
And of course, that's completely aside from the fact that COVID-19 is spiking horribly all over the world, vaccine or no vaccine.
The one bit of recent good news is that my favourite walking-tour company in Japan appears to have survived SO FAR, based on their website, and there is a very faint possibility that I will actually be able to go on an actual holiday again SOME DAY. I am already day-dreaming about it. What colours of mask to bring? Black to match the trousers, red-brown for the waterproof, emerald green or magenta or grey for the boots or high-vis yellow for the day pack? Solid colour or patterned? Season-themed, like everything in Japan? All of them and a different colour for each day? Decisions, decisions.
