• 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.

Survive from mass transmission? I am not sure.
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.

Yah, I also can’t get any masks, or hand sanitizers
So ridiculous if people buy n stock up or keep so many ... sigh...
There are quite a number just wear n walk around, the kids dun look sick, still playing n running in playground etc
I do have abt 10 plus pieces in store rm for normal flu usage,
No hand sanitizers too, just wash our hands with enough soap!
I think cc more prepared than Sch coz they have hfm every now n then
My dd class mate infected hfm diesease , our neighbourhood dangue RED zone ... sigh.... why like that , weather weather ![/quote]Seems like many of us don’t have masks (yet). Yesterday, I happened to walk pass a school bus, about 10 Japanese kids alighted, 8 of them wearing surgical masks. Don’t think they are sick and I wonder where they get their masks, cos everyday must change. Lol.

lc, how do you know you have extra?

I have ordered a number of pcs but haven't received..dont think we will wear everyday everywhere also, use it more when we have weaker immune system I guess..planning to give away some.. Also ordered quite many tubes of vit c to share tho that doc says it won't help..Hope this clears fast and all back to normal soon.

Hope the supply will continue from other countries..

Must go for Vic C + Zinc.
Vitamin C alone not enough. Cannot fight against virus but can build up immune system against flu bug. Those who kena first are those with weak immune system (e.g. old folks)

My MIL recently bought a lot like 10 boxes and she stocked up and gave some to me and SIL.

MIL doesn't have to do that, as we always have surgical mask at home. Whenever any of us have flu or cough, we always wear surgical face mask.

So yes, I have extra 2 new boxes. I hope to sell to you but I can't leave home.... I better quarantine myself first since my DS2 case, better to be safe then to be sorry.

ah ic, read about your case there..hope everything is ok with your ds side. I guess we will likely have extra after this..from the status looks like should get 2 boxes tomorrow.. maybe for future use, wear it if not feeling too well..our school have travel declaration before cny holiday..hopefully the boy came back from the lesser affected city..

I just checked the collection date and time for my MIL’s block. It is tomorrow at 11am-1pm or 7-9pm. At these short restricted times only. Thankfully she said she can rush there after church to collect the package herself. I am unable to buy any for her as totally out of stock. Have to rely on the free ones from govt.
