Passing Time

It's all happening, with the first two deaths from coronavirus reported locally, and our northern neighbours closing the borders - which has resulted in much dislocation for our very many Malaysian day workers. From the looks of it, it's going to get quite a bit worse, before it gets better.

We'll leave the serious discussion for a bit, what with the EPL extending their suspension to the end of April already, which has led to suggestions from more desperate football fans to requisition Britain's two not-very-strategically-relevant aircraft carriers towards the emergency, in the manner of our floating platform. Meanwhile, Southampton and Manchester City are playing tic-tac-toe over Twitter, with Bayer Leverkusen and Hull City instead going for Connect 4 (which of course is also a completely solved game, for a first player victory). Watford and Leicester City are instead running simulations on Football Manager, which is by the way free to play on Steam for the week. The Russians remain stereotypically fatalistic, having adopted "We're all going to die" as their new chant.

While we're on gaming, Overwatch has just announced a new character from Singapore - albeit as a Singlish-speaking (see also recent r/singapore gripe on kena vs. kana, and general vowel mixups) A.I. within a robot (relation with Mechwarrior unconfirmed); I suppose it doesn't hurt with the marketing. Myself, marble racing can get strangely captivating as a diversion from all that crypto trading.
