Not the peak , around these 2 weeks ,i thik we will see new cases as the incubation period can be a week or so ...
Probably have to wait until the end of CNY2020 to see how it is trending after all the precaution implementedNebbermind\" post_id=\"1961318\" time=\"1580429654\" user_id=\"15571:
[quote=starlight1968sg post_id=1961310 time=1580421143 user_id=14025]When can we see some improvement in the situation? Have we reached the peak?
with the immigration measures tight in place, we should be able to control IF there is no community spread (praying for NO)
But in China which is so big, the situation may be worser , weather is not helping which is wet, cold
Hope dun get into India - i am not confident this place can contain virus well with such bad sanitary & hygiene
developing countries (vietnam, cambodia , Indo, etc may also be not able to manage & badly hit if there are affected people :([/quote]India has one confirmed case, apparently.

I think it’s essential to understand the facts from paranoia.
better don't book holiday yet, because dont know when the vaccine cure is found (ready).
At the moment, no cure yet, is deadly unless your body strong enough to overcome virus. Better be safe, than sorry
...
To break your bubble, there IS NO CURE for coronavirus (nCov), regardless of the colloquial name that it is known by. The 2019- prefix should provide you with a clue that this is not the first (nor will it be the last) case of coronavirus.
Also, a vaccine is not the same as a cure. Vaccine is to prevent you from catching it in the first place. Notwithstanding, a vaccine specifically designed to target at a specific strain, such as the 2019-nCov is, unlikely to help you with the subsequent version, example 2020-nCov.
Treatment of nCov is the same as treatment for flu (same family). Plenty of rest, fluid and nutrition. Paracetamol and analgesics may also be administered to treat fever and pain. -
TBH I’m amused by the paranoia surrounding 2019-nCov. Is it because it’s China?

If the price is low, I’ll book it. However, I’ll purchase an insurance policy that pays for cancellation immediately to go along with it.
In dilemma whether to book air tickets to Taiwan in Oct. Was planning to go after my gal PSLE... sigh. Wonder if the situation will be controlled by than 😞
If you become paranoia and too overly concerned about diseases, viruses, etc, you will probably never leave your house. 2019-nCov could be replaced by 2020-nCov or ABCD-Cov or some other fanciful names. The next natural disaster may also strike Taiwan as it is in the earthquake, typhoon belt. -

This was from last week but still relevant & insightful. It’s a 30 mins Q&A with a Specialist. Learn a lot fr Dr Leong Nam Hoe during SARS & now for nCoV.
He’ll confirm the difference in use of abvmentioned masks by Jadefox. -
There is absolutely nothing to worry about if everyone practice proper hygiene. To be honest, most of the folks don’t really practice civic mindedness. Sneezing and/or coughing without covering the mouth, clearing mucus into the grass patch, spitting into the drain, putting used tissue on the tray after wiping mouth at hawker center, littering etc…
I have always told my boys to use the knuckles to press the button in the lift or the glass door to open. Always wash hands before eating, wash hands after a visit to the toilet, wash the tap before one press it again and then wash both hands again, never touch face, nose, eyes unless you need to wash your face. If need to rub your nose when it is itchy just use the wrist and quickly wash the face again. -

October?! No more new cases by then. Their kids started their winter holiday on 10 Jan and if they are still well by 24 Jan, they are cleared of the virus. If they had come in on 14/15 Jan (which is our govt's cut-off dates), and are still ok today 31 Jan, why so afraid of them?

The latest 3 confirmed ones in Singapore came in on 22 Jan, one day before the Wuhan lockdown on 23 Jan.
So there are more who came in before the lockdown, they should be cleared of the virus by Li Chun. I believe many of them are holed up in relatives' homes in all parts of Singapore, or hopping around hotels.
We've already blocked Hubei residents from entering since 27 Jan. Only those who managed to come in from Hubei via other China cities from 23-27 Jan need to be closely monitored until mid-Feb. All in all, there should be about 1,000 on short-term visit passes out of 2,000 of them amid us (that means 8,000 out of the reported 10,680 from 31 Dec-23 Jan had probably already left our borders).
The Chinese government is sending charter flights to fetch their stranded citizens home. Not sure which countries go first..
I've lost tracked the no. of pending cases. I last saw 100+ on Wed. I guess some of them will be tested positive in the coming days and will be conveyed accordingly to NCID for quarantine. MOH is hunting down more short-term visit pass holders who are \"at large\". More figures should pop up voluntarily as their social visit pass will expire soon. If their embassy doesn't not fly them back soon on charter flights, they could become overstayers.
