For Macau-based journalist Nelson Moura, the city’s pandemic years evoke an unrelenting cycle of Covid tests,quarantines, and official slogans. But they also recall the absurdities, unexpected solidarity, and flashes of dark humour that helped residents endure an extraordinary period.
Those competing realities underpin Let’s All Persevere — Covid, Gaming and Other Macau Oddities, a new collection of 75 chronicles written by Moura, a contributing editor at Macau Business magazine and former Macau News Agency editor-in-chief, as events unfolded between February 2020 and July 2023.
