      TBH I’m amused by the paranoia surrounding 2019-nCov. Is it because it’s China?
      Yesh. To put things in perspective, Wuhan has a population of over 11 million. Hubei over 58.5 million.

      You are more likely to catch pneumonia and die from the flu than from 2019-nCoV. The 2009 H1N1 swine flu originating from North America was all over the world before anybody raised any alert. Of course, you cannot call it the American Swine Flu. That's just politically incorrect.

      That said, the same precautions apply to both corona and flu virus. Forget about the mask. Wash your hands often, don't touch your face, and don't share food.

      A bit late now, but take a flu jab. You don't want to be quarantined just because you caught a flu bug.

        We did not wear mask except when visiting my FIL in SGH. More to protect him instead of us. When we face him, we just remove the mask.


        I still book the air tickets to Taiwan in Jun. Not too worry about it.

          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.
          Use elbow? 😉

                Wear a mask and always use alcohol were ever you go. Also, observe proper hygiene every time. If you think you have the symptoms, go to the nearest hospital before it got worse.

                        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 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.

                        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.

                        Insurance policies may not cover all cancellations, so read the terms carefully. Often, the insurance will exclude certain things like \"government actions\", and some of the health-related restrictions may come under that.
