Irresponsible PRC kiasuism. :spank:
We did informed the school after my child told me. School teacher and principal were informed. Only a handful of parents did advised that parents on Wed and Thur, then came that statement from her. We gave up talking to her nicely. We leave it that way and let the school handle. That child missed school on Friday. Now the whole class is pending to be quarantine, to be confirm over the weekend. Siao liao.
Guess what some kids told me that this child even went to the same tuition on wed. Crazy right? -
I let my child go for CL tuition as usual with PRC origins. Told DS to use masks. He text to say he’s the only one there today.
Personalized attention. -

there will be kids who have not traveled but family came in from china, they still attend school. How? civic mindedness is not in their culture
Estee, but these 3 students did returned from China recently leh. One of them was in my child's class. Yes I have to worry for my kid and others in the class as well. -
Some folks are simply over-sensitive to the extend of keep thinking other people 针对 these folks. Really?! At least think for the children and elderly. :stupid:

Survive from mass transmission? I am not sure.
• SINGAPORE is ready. SINGAPORE will survive mass transmission better than most countries. Singapore is really well prepared for 2019-nCoV virus outbreak. We have plans for all scenarios.
I often wonder what would have happened to SG if China did not lockdown Wuhan and other cities during 春节.
On 23th Jan, I expressed my frustration in ME TIME thread because I was unable to get surgical masks at pharmacies, and to be honest, I still did not manage to buy them up till today.
Yesterday, my 90yo MIL had to visit the clinic as she was feeling unwell. We managed to dig out last few surgical masks for her. The mask was manufactured in 2016, no expiry date printed though, don’t care, just use.
The thermal scans at airport proven not effective to identify those virus carriers at airports and if Wuhan was not locked down before CNY, I don’t dare to imagine the consequences.
Guess PRCs bought a lot of masks (by cartons!) and sent back to China? I can understand cos they are more in need than us. I can only say that on my part, maybe I should have been more kiasu a bit. Shouldn’t wait until masks, hand sanitizers, etc. already out of stock, then go queue for these items. -

Seems like some people want to see actual community spread before getting alarmed.
I watched the White House presser on FB just now.

Dr Anthony Fauci (National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases) of the 2019-nCoV TaskForce explained why this isn't quite the same as influenza pandemic at 3:20s and the diff of testing if someone was infected 22:18s.
Later on, Robert Ray Redfield Jr (Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) at 23:38s also spoke about the asymptomatic trends they have observed in the few US confirmed cases thus far.
There are too many unknowns about 2019-nCoV, so our govt (and US+Japan) has done the right thing to bar entry of any nationality who has travelled to any part of mainland China in the last 14 days.
Sad! -

Govt should have upgraded the 14-day LOA to Quarantine Order which has force of Law.
Since school reopens after CNY, I was super stressed the last 3 days but yet on the other hand, have to put up with the brave front. There are folks totally ignore MOE precautionary 14 days LOA. I don't know what to say about these parents. Ignorance or purely selfish? Now can only pray for the next 14 days from this weekend, nothing explosive news.
These irresponsible people are simply irresponsible or stupid, or both? -
