Huge jump in cases to 45 or something.

a) if I do stay and they shut off all travel, I'm still here and keep my visa and job
b) if I do stay and they allow travel and it blows over, I just go back home for a bit
c) if I do stay and they lay us all off, I'll get a free ticket home anyway and the situation was FUBAR so whatever

Well I WOULD crack a joke about how easy Saudi workers have it, but I'll be nice. At my work the Saudi staff come in on rotation and they are monitoring our online teaching (not directly, just generally).
The government has ordered the private sector to pay 14 days' sick leave as well.

Expat workers who were scheduled to travel but got stranded are considered to have "extraordinary official leave" so that is nice.

Went out grocery shopping today and to the hospital for a complete blood count/cholesterol test. (Fortunately, Uber is still working.) Minimal traffic.
Nurse stopped me when I walked into the hospital, took my temperature, and took down my info. The place was just about dead silent otherwise. No lines.
I go to the mall/supermarket combo place. The mall is not just shut down, it's darkened. The supermarket is open and the workers are cleaning the cart handles and giving out gloves. Stickers on the floor in front of register lines remind people to keep social distance. Not crowded at all, brief wait for checkout. Normally it is berzerk on weekends.
All goods well-stocked. An announcement was constantly playing over the PA letting shoppers know the store was sanitized and that gloves/hand gel were available. The store WAS a lot cleaner than I've ever ever seen it.

I wouldn't trust what Turkish media says as far as I could throw them. They were probably pozzed when they showed up and that's what made the Saudis lock down foreign umrah visits (which they did weeks ago).
I don't think this is stoppable, and this is keeping in mind that KSA's response has been very strict. Quick screenings, travel bans, lockdowns, close monitoring of supplies in stores, and very quick directives sent to the health care sector.
I wonder if anyone's numbers are good, or will stay that way.

Lockdown is now near-total. Most of the country is under a 24-hour curfew. Though they did make an exception for absolutely necessary food and medical needs between 6am-3pm. Which is similar as before but I guess now they will be stopping people in public and demanding an explanation.
So now I cannot go in to work AT ALL and officially commence my first day as a WFHmo. w00t

Out of nowhere, we now have to have a letter (from our sponsor? from the security services?) to leave our neighborhood. A co-worker offered to drive me to go shopping and had his license number taken down this morning upon getting informed of the new policy when he was coming in after taking another co-worker out. Also a maximum of two people are allowed in one car.
The letter is supposedly obtainable online. Yeah I'm sure security won't be total cocks about demanding the letter be on paper, have eighteen different signatures and three stamps, they'll be cool with some online thing. (eyeroll)

You can now only go out for groceries or medicine during the curfew hours, and it has to be in your "local area" (as determined by whichever cop or guard stops you and how recently they got chewed out by their supervisor). Travelling *outside your district of the city*, let alone anywhere else, now requires special permission from the Ministry of Interior, which they are giving out basically to doctors and nurses.
Want groceries? Well, you can depend on delivery apps. Oh, wait, Uber is completely shut down so no restaurants. Want to use one of the grocery retailers' delivery apps? They have NO time slots available. Complaints on Twitter, including from people taking care of elderly parents, are met with the same reply over and over again about how hard they're working on it.
Saudi's involvement in the Yemen conflict may be drawing to a close.

Saudis apparently get something called a "cost of living allowance". I think this was put in when they implemented the Value Added Tax a few years ago. Anyway, that's scrapped. Oh and the VAT is being TRIPLED now.

Came back into the office to handle a few things and chat with my boss.
Enrollment in school is way down... multiple teachers' classes scheduled for next semester have been cancelled or put on hold.
Multiple teachers flew out on one-way repatriation flights for summer. Saudi is still not allowing incoming international travel so they're stuck outside the country. They have three weeks after the start of the term to get back in or they are laid off for the remainder of the semester. My boss may have to get someone in management to intervene.
Stopped at an Indian-owned dry clean shop when I was out getting a snack. I know the guy from shopping nearby all the time. The shop was bereft of any garments hanging up along the walls. No employee salaries have been paid for three months. When his lease is up for the place, he will go back to Kerala :(
Kuwait is kicking out a lot of foreigners, too.

Went out to eat again. Noticeably smaller portions. A glass of orange juice was SIX BUCKS.
Then tried to go to a mall/supermarket. The Saudis at the entrance gate doing temperature checks must have pissed and moaned about doing their jobs because those are gone now. So instead they just let people in. Oh, but it was prayer time, and now they suddenly want the entire mall vacated until an hour after prayer time ends.

Lol Saudi Twitter is maf over the app. Every store you drive by has an angry crowd of over-dramatic wailing Arabs out front who can't be allowed inside.
To be fair, a bunch of quality supermarkets now suddenly deliver groceries on the big-name apps and the fee is like a buck and change. I think these are being subsidized.

My luck has run out.
I can't see my mom, my brother, or my nieces and nephews. I'm going to get locked out of Saudi Arabia if I leave and then I'm going to get fired for not being back in the country in time to start teaching classes. (Management at the school has made very clear that they don't even want to hear it.)
I'm probably going to get fired next semester if I don't get the vaccine. They're putting our names on lists very soon.
It's getting less and less avoidable to be exposed to the virus. And I've had very bad flus and colds, even as a small kid.
Taking that vaccine is 100% going to make me seriously ill, too.
I have to figure out what to do. I might make it for a while if I just stay put again. Maybe, maybe.
There are enemies around every corner.

It's all over. School will now require a shot to come back on campus and they may be trying to get us back in the classroom in fall, hence the shot being mandatory. MAYBE I can stay away for a while if we are still online, but that is borrowed time.
If I leave for summer I'm packing up all my important stuff with me from my apartment and making a serious decision when at home.
KSA is much safer than America. Life here is good. All I have to do is get this shit injected into me that's not FDA approved. Then I can keep my house and savings. Just a jab, that's all.
I can't believe it has come to this. Why, why, why, why

Right. You're correct. It would be two summers not visiting family but my mom would eventually understand. The mandatory vaccine eliminates that consideration though.
The job search is a complete nightmare now, in case I do give this up. I will keep a positive mindset about it.
Then there is the option of just getting the shot. Brain-jab to leave, brain-jab to come back, shit-shot full of who knows what so I can keep my job. They got me.

A glimmer of hope: my boss said the Saudi vaccine staff ask a million questions about someone's existing health conditions before giving them the jab. They're very frightened of bad PR, such as people getting sick or dying from it, and my being fairly young might also tilt them to taking a wait and see approach.
I'm also not alone in my vaccine hesitancy and maybe the school's approach will not be what I thought.
I can't BBELIEVE they are forcing these shots on teens and kids now. Well, yes, I can.
I haven't talked much about this, but we are tracked by an app here. It is WAY stricter than the silly vaccine cards in the US.
Entering any public or commercial building requires showing this app on your phone to security. It connects to the internet, uses your ID info, and displays a variety of COVID-related status codes for the security to see. I don't know what they'll enter for me if I get excused from the vaccine.

Downfall: the vaccination rule is now official to enter any public or commercial building in KSA as of August 1.
I'm scheduled to get The Juice later this afternoon.

Booster now mandated by February 1 or you are effectively housebound again.
This is enforced. There is a smartphone app tied to your ID that is constantly updated with your vax status and they will require whatever they want, whenever they want for your status to show as "Immune" so you can get into buildings.
Two jabs required. No, wait, now it's three. You only have two? Sorry, that's not enough anymore, wrong status, you can't come in.
This is never going to end.

All mask requirements lifted except for the Mecca and Medina mosques. Other types of facilities can require them if they want but it's pretty much unenforceable.
No PCR tests or vax verifications to enter the country or go anywhere inside.
Link says that people are still required to get the rooster but if they're not looking at the tracking app, hard to say how they'd prove it unless I'm missing something.

Budget deficit continuing to decline. ~2% inflation rate with teams of government workers going into stores and checking that there's no price gouging. Economic growth expected at 8% this year.

Well it was reciprocal.
One Saudi official quipped that the real leader of the country is the Saudi entertainment authority, which is responsible for allowing all of these concerts and exhibitions that are happening now. You can look on an app and there's stuff like "LEGO Experience, Jeddah, May 40 - June 20 - a fun building block experience for kids and adults alike!". There are these EDM concerts and seasonal shopping things too.
MBS is a gamer and listens to hip hop, etc. Maybe Ole Joe can't really do statecraft and MBS is just like "gaming bruh".

Saudi Health Ministry bids "Maa Al Salama" (goodbye) to the acute phase of the COVID 19 outbreak.

KSA has still not even recorded 10,000 COVID fatalities three years on.
The brave actions of the Saudi leadership through this challenging time will always be remembered.
