Totally agreed With YL bec they probably didn’t anticipate such a reaction of public for Orange
Yes, it was a matter of time before upgrading to Orange and plans were in place beforehand but these were just for office.
Yo be honest, colleagues and I were still apprehensive after Orange was formally announced; lots of confusions etc.
Did we ever enter Red in the previous years? -
No. Even SARS last time, was under control last time

I could rem SARS but Dorscon was not introduced yet. It was during H1N1 that we entered into Orange. This means we hv yet to experience Red!

When Orange was activated then, there was no frenzy. It’s clear this frenzy was imported as we hv many HongKongers & PRCs amongst us who had relatives locked-down & worried abt food shortages across HK/Shenzhen.

Alr mentioned DH’s colleagues hv been asked to buy masks & send over to relatives in HK & PRC. MIL asks us why she see many ppl buy till NTUC shelves empty & whether others know sth she didn’t know or shld she buy & stock up quickly. We had to tell her but only if she needs. Don’t need to follow blindly. She agrees no need.
Whether govt is at fault not able to pre-empt buying frenzy, so long as we exercise calm, cooperate by not adding to the foreign import of chaos, then we will survive. We shld be be united & be confident we’ve survive as SARS came & gone, H5N1 gone, a d we will fight this together. Keep ourselves hygienic & wash wash wash, wear masks only when ill, stay away fr crowded gatherings (like long supermkt queues
). We shld be caring & socially responsible, then will not add to burden of govt, medical staff or NTUC supermkt staff having to work frantically to reduce inconvenience of those who need their usual daily necessities w/o tiredsome long Qs.

In my case, I think the fear started when I couldn’t buy masks. And the government’s advice not to wear mask when we are not sick is very clear to me is a brain washing. I can control my own actions but I cannot control other people’s actions. I cannot depend on them to wear masks. We have heard stories in this KSP forum where people coughs without wearing masks.
Up until now, I cannot buy any masks or hand sanitizer here. Whatever masks I have, I just have to prolong the life although the advice is to through it away after each time use. I just sun it. No choice.
I don’t know why all those smart people in the world can’t invent masks that can be home made. Then just make everybody wears it. I wonder why there are 33 infected people in Singapore while there are only 25 infected people in Hong Kong. And clearly there are many more PRC there than here. Is it because most of them there wear masks? I wonder… -

Yes, this point #8 is valid,
because once someone unfortunate in the household hit \"virus\" jackpot, infected
i) hospital will send patient into medical isolation ward rightaway,
ii) those family members inside the household, also will be scutinized one by one in detail,
because they live in the same house as the infected patient, hence no more time to go out buy grocery.
That's why people panic, start stocking up grocery, start planning emergency situation arise where they cannot go out of the house anymore, family get \"lockdown\", cannot go out, how they going to eat ?
if anyone in the family get infected, the whole household will also be impacted
eg
if a primary school student gets infected
both parents cannot go to work, will need to enter LOA as well, means cannot go out
while Hospital ambulance sent the student (child) into isolation ward
see, is not just the child alone, but parents also impacted, inconvenienced
BIL jokingly said all the Instant noodles gone off the shelves except one packet of Wuhan noodles nobody touch. -

I saw supermarket staff - older auntie n uncles look very tired just now, they commented hands n legs no energy since last evening
It is adding a lot of stress to the supermarket staff now by such unwanted behaviour .
Hk number dunno true or not m I also wonder..... -

But nah, I never joined any queue.
My friend forwarded me a picture of such a long queue at Mustafa.
I was thinking, crazy !
With such a long queue over there, even if no Wuhan virus, can also become get virus hit. To me, stock up food only when there is war time
(eg.
Last time when Japanese invaded Singapore, and many poor people no $ to buy rice, so they kept eating sweet potatoes dug out from the ground bec free and roasted them over a fire ), famine, drought
Btw, maybe moderator sms can help to remove the \"like\" count, since u said u accidentally pressed it.
Hi qms,
Fya
Thank you, qms
Esteema,
Next time, if u accidentally press button, no need to inform me.
Just inform qms directly, ask her to delete the count, will do. Thanks
