 "In February 2020, Macau was one of the first regions where the pandemic of coronavirus or Covid-19

affected the totality of social and economic life leading to increased anxieties over movement and

distance. Although Macau has had very few actual cases of the virus – 41 in total – and no deaths

from it, the Macau government rapidly instituted a lockdown. Anxiety in this respect is demonstrated

in the vignette on public bus above and the general obedience of people that could be observed not

to assemble, to stay at home, and avoiding meetings or gatherings in public places, including

transport, shops, and restaurants" Anxious immobilities: an ethnography of coping with contagion
