Singapore Covidoid
A humanoid robot that unprovenly supplies the daily random numbers of infections and deaths via the Ministry of Health (MOH) to the mainstream media, especially now that the majority of the population view each infection as a mere statistic, because it no longer matters to them whether it is a few tens or a few ten thousands.
Since Singapore started registering daily five-digit infections, to give locals the illusion that the infections data are meticulously collected from thousands of doctors islandwide, and to cut down on manpower, the authorities had apparently tasked a Singapore covidoid to spy on the population’s social media posts and tweets and pseudo-encrypted SMSes to formulate a daily figure on both infection and mortality cases.
