SINGAPORE -- The Singaporean government has backpedaled away from a coronavirus PR campaign that was supposed to lighten the mood but instead came across as insensitive -- and alienated Liverpool soccer fans.
A government website on Monday introduced the Virus Vanguard, an Avengers-style squad of cartoon superheroes that fight COVID-19 and promote the city-state's prevention tactics. By Tuesday they were gone, replaced with only silhouettes.
