Is is symbolic, or are the punishments real?  I can't keep up with your story.  I'll close with my original response which originally got you on this tangent, and is 100% true.

Lol. I'm not on a tangent. I believe that would be you here. You are also projecting.

My buddy went to university in London and his friends made fun of him cause for years he wouldn’t cross a street without a signal and clear “permission”, even if deserted of cars.

You sure he was from Singapore? Maybe he just went to Marquette at the same time I did.

I'm not sure what the situation is now, but Milwaukee officers strictly enforced jaywalking laws back when I was at MU. They'd hang around campus, looking for opportunities to hand out $10 tickets. I have little doubt they were told to do so by their overlords.

I thought the same thing, about the jaywalking. Once a cop followed a friend into Boston Store-she evaded him, however.
I, too, would catch myself standing on corners waiting for lights on empty streets, until I would  remember that I wasn’t on campus.....

There were a few mornings that the police officers would be slowly cruising up and down Wisconsin Avenue at 08:55 just waiting to pounce.

He tested positive for COVID-19 this week.

2 of my closest business friends/associates are Singapore residents. It is 100% motivated by punishment. In terms of community and selflessness, Singapore doesn’t standout compared to other Asian nations. Excessive government control and risk of punishment is ingrained in anyone there. My buddy went to university in London and his friends made fun of him cause for years he wouldn’t cross a street without a signal and clear “permission”, even if deserted of cars.

Much like kids at a old school strict Catholic grade school being diligent and well behaved. It’s not cause they are just naturally sweet and polite children, they are conditioned by strict and borderline oppressive overlords

Remember the American college kid who was got caught vandalizing and was sentenced to caning?

Of course he's a Cardinals fan.

Maybe he was just trying to write down all the unwritten rules for baseball fans in Singapore.

Georgia Senate candidate Kelly Loeffler tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday. She was at the same event as Rick Scott, seen here:

The best part about that Twitter thread is Scott Baio threatening to move to Utah  to unseat Romney.

Kansas:

24 Counties with mask compliance saw negative 6% decrease average 7 day average COVID-19 infections.

81 counties without mask mandate? Saw 100% increase in weekly average cases.

Pretty amazing there is still a shortage of N95 masks at this point.

My company is going to start making mask wire for 3M.  We heard they have multiple locations and had three or four idle lines (in addition to the ones that were running) when the pandemic started that were quickly ramped back up on 3 shifts.

Yes, it is nearly impossible for health care centers that are NOT emergency or hospitals / treating active covid patients to get them still. At least not the medical grade.  Some industrial grade is available, but still not enough to meet demand.  Think privately owned heath care, family doctors, dentists,  walgreens, cvs, etc.  All those providers cannot get them and are left hanging.

Yeah, that's why Biden is talking about invoking the defense production act.

I just had a procedure in a hospital yesterday. Nurse said they get one mask a day. It did not look like an N95 mask. This hospital has an entire floor for covid patients.
There was a scrubs vending machine in the lobby too. Nurses are the new teachers when it comes to supplies.

Those scrubs vending machines have been around forever. It's standard practice. Essentially you put dirty scrubs in and they give clean ones. It's a very safe and effective way to handle it.
But I like to throw handfuls...
