"7289????" Daniel was shocked to see the drastic increase in the number of covid cases. He received the msg in one of his whatsapp groups.

"I don't know what the hell are these people doing until there are so many cases...🙄" he replied in the group.

Shortly after that,

"Ma, I'm going to my friends house for a while... I told him to give me all the pictures of the "secret gathering" we had yesterday, in a thumb drive.. Cannot upload on FB, they will catch, so I'm going to take it secretly.. 😁", he said while laughing.

Mother : "Ok boy, come back fast ok... I cooked your favourite mutton curry..
Too many Covid cases around... Dad and myself have not gone out for a long time because of this... Pls don't bring back any virus ok..."

Daniel laughed... "OK maa.. The way u are saying is as if I'm going to pack the virus and bring it back...🤣"

So Daniel went to James's house.

Lunch was ready, so James's mother invited him inside for lunch. James's mother know the covid cases are increasing, but she felt this boy doesn't have Covid because she knows this boy for such a long time. Daniel also know the Covid cases are increasing, but he felt this family won't have covid because they are like family to him too. Daniel loved all of them so much, especially the aunty. She always cooked for him.

So he went inside, took his mask off, asked them for a plastic to keep his mask so he can use it later when he is going back home, hugged everyone, everyone hugged him back, had his lunch together with the whole family, and had a great time catching up....

Then he went back home.

The next day, Daniel got a call from his Boss that one of his colleagues has been tested positive, so all of them have to do the swab. He hit his forehead and said "OK Boss, I will go and do."

Before doing the swab, he went to the supermarket. There he met another old friend, Ben after a long time. While talking, they both removed their masks because they are meeting after a long time.
Ben just got a baby after 10 years of waiting. Sincerely delighted with the news, Daniel gave Ben a big, tight hug before leaving.
"We will all come and visit the baby soon brother" he said...

Then he went for the Covid swab and went back home.

The next day, he received a call from the doctor that his swab results is positive.

He shouted back at the doctor "Cannot be laa doc!!! I don't have any symptoms... I wore mask everywhere I went what!!!"

Now - the most important part....

The Doctor tells him "Mr Daniel, now u have to give us a list of people that you had close contact with for the past few days, without leaving anyone out. They all need to do the swab."

So Daniel wrote the list down.
This time, he didn't laugh anymore.
His hand was trembling while writing, because they were all his loved ones.

In the list, were his parents & siblings who stayed with him, his friends that he met during the secret gathering, his girlfriend that he drove all around with, James, James's family, Ben...

"God, pls let this end with me... I hope I didn't pass it to anyone...How if anything happens to anyone of them because of me? God, none of them must be positive, please... " he prayed silently, wiping his tears.

So all their results came back the following day. His parents were positive, 4 of his friends that he met in the secret gathering was positive, James was positive, James's mother was positive, Ben was positive, Ben's precious baby was positive.

After 4 days, Daniel's mother was admitted to ICU.

During her last video call before intubation, she told him,

"Boy... Remember that I love you a lot... Take care of Dad... Dont feel bad that you brought the virus home... Either way also I am old already, that's why I can't cope... Remember its not your fault ok..."

She didn't make it in the end, and they couldn't even do the funeral.

While this was going on, he received a msg that James's mother needs to be admitted to ICU but all the ICUs are full at the moment, so she is still waiting in the normal ward, praying hard and hoping to get an ICU bed soon. According to James, the frontliners are going out of their way to help her with whatever they have, while waiting for the bed.

Daniel could only cry out loudly, but he can't undo what he has done. Now he finally understands how the number has increased.

Moral of the story :
With the increasing number of cases, every person you meet may either be a close contact, a contact's contact, or a POSITIVE COVID.
But you know what is the good news? You can avoid Daniel's situation if you stay at home.

Long read but basically sums up why we cannot be too laid back when it comes to adhering to the SOPs.

This is how the case increases…Trust no one

"We might not have everything in the world but we have the most important thing - each other."

These are tough times but we are choosing to look on the bright side of things. In fact, the kids and I are somewhat happy to stay home for the next month because it means we get to be together as a family and spend more time with the newborn who is growing up really fast.

Yup, we always say time flies when we have kids. So maybe this is a good time to let it slow down so we can truly appreciate every day, every moment of being together.

At the very least, we have a roof over our heads, we can buy food or order delivery, we can still go to the supermarket, we will have much more opportunities to craft, cook, play, talk, laugh, relax or have more family movie nights.

Anyway, we weren't planning to go out much during the June holidays - in fact, we didn't make any plans at all - so this just seems like an extended mid year hols to us for now. While I initially worried a little for my P6 girl, I then reckoned this might be a good way to teach her to be more resilient and be able to adapt to changes too.

I'm also thankful for the fact that being a stay-at-home mum, it just means I continue doing what I do every day, that is to look after the kids. To those who are more affected by the news and need to make last minute arrangements at work, jia you, hang in there and let's all hope things will get better soon. To our frontliners, thank you so much for working so hard for us. The least we can do is to play our part and stay home.

Stay optimistic and hopeful, people. Have a happy Sunday! ❤

Because there rarely is anything simple about Allen Iverson, it took conversations -- maybe even debate -- then an important decision. Next, it will require two votes. Both should go his way. But, again, Allen Iverson? Anything but simple.
He is now eligible to be nominated for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. To say Iverson, should he be elected as expected, will be the headliner for the Class of 2016 is obvious. With his popularity among fans and the anticipation of an epic acceptance speech at the induction ceremony, AI would be the headliner most any year. (In his acceptance speech Friday night, 2015 inductee Dikembe Mutombo acknowledged Iverson's likely spot in the Hall, thanking former 76ers coach Larry Brown for "allowing me to play with Allen Iverson, who will stand here soon in Springfield.")

The calendar distinction is necessary, though, because the finish to his career was as unique as Iverson himself. Had 2009-10 with the 76ers been his final season, the path to enshrinement would have been straight and level. Wait the mandatory five seasons, be nominated in 2015 and be part of the voting cycle that culminates in ascending the steps of Symphony Hall in the summer of '16.
Iverson's decision to play in Turkey in 2010-11 was the complication. That could have pushed induction back until 2017 -- the same year that Shaquille O'Neal is eligible to enter the Hall -- or even longer if Iverson had fulfilled both seasons of the deal with Istanbul-based Besiktas. When Iverson's European career lasted all of 10 games, officials were handed a judgment call.
After years of no decision, it was finally decided that 10 games -- especially 10 games on a different continent -- were nothing more than a brief moonlighting opportunity for a candidate whose nomination would go through the North American committee. Iverson can be nominated in 2015, not 2016, and could be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2016, not 2017.
It worked out well for Iverson, by many accounts in need of good news in his life, and for the basketball museum in western Massachusetts. AI, assuming he is nominated, will be the only new big name with a strong NBA connection in the election cycle. He would be the star power to draw national attention and sell tickets next summer while Tim Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Chris Webber and others hope the lack of obvious candidates from the North American committee creates a fresh opportunity for enshrinement. (It worked this year, with Mutombo the lone newcomer elected as Jo Jo White was inducted after retiring in 1981 and Spencer Haywood in 1983.)
"It's not a marketing decision," Hall president John Doleva said. "It is a playing decision. It's a decision by the voting committee. It definitely is not a marketing decision."
It's also not the only decision. The same panel must next decide on the timeline for Rasheed Wallace, whose situation is even more complicated that Iverson's. Wallace retired after 2009-10, which ordinarily would make him eligible for nomination in 2015 and induction in 2016, and stayed retired for two full seasons. Then he came back with the Knicks in 2012-13 -- for 21 games.
Iverson played 10 games, Wallace a quarter of a season. Iverson was in Europe, Wallace the NBA.
"That is a little grayer, for sure, because of the NBA aspect of it, frankly trying to make a comeback," Doleva said. "That is something the group will have to take a look at. ... There's a discretion about such things as just these issues. What's the impact of it? What kind of commitment should a person be held to if they've done something overseas for a short period of time and not made a season of it. Rasheed Wallace is an interesting question that we will be addressing."
