      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

      I accidentally tap on a “like” for you phtthp. Meant only to reply to yr rich imagination. This is what those who think too much, think beyond facts, think into imaginary realm that sets yourself and those others in the long Qs.

      BIL jokingly said all the Instant noodles gone off the shelves except one packet of Wuhan noodles nobody touch.

      I may have written above.
      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

      Btw, maybe moderator sms can help to remove the \"like\" count, since u said u accidentally pressed it.

      Hi qms,
      Fya

      Thank you, qms[/quote]Thank you for confirming you only write out of imagination. These are really very detailed imaginations sounds so real, but exactly such seemingly real actions that causes panic in others? Spreading “what ifs” then better use such justifications to stock up & hoard. Headache!

        I’ve always admired the Japanese for their graciousness & high personal hygienic practices & they will wear masks when they’re not well. The rest of Japanese society goes on with life w/o masks when not ill yet with peace of mind & not districting the man/woman sitting next seat. I hope this nCoV teaches Singaporeans to rise to the occasion. My new 2020 wish for a United Singaporeans. 🙏
        Something puzzles me, I asked DH why Japan so clean so hygienic yet they have the 2nd highest incidence rate after China?

          Hey Esteema,


          What imagination, are u refering to ?
          Please clarify


          When I quote the example of a primary school child getting infected, and both parents got to take LOA, because all staying inside the same family household can be infected-

          U mean, this example, won’t occur ?

          Which part is false ?


          Esteema

          Also noted that this is NOT the first time u tell and announce to the whole world that u accidentally press the like button?

          Why must u tell all these ?
          For what purpose ?

          Tell me also no use, since I cannot go and update the counter myself, right ?
          Surely u don’t expect me to go and update the count myself, correct ?
          I cannot even update the count myself,

          Who can update the counter?
          Only moderator qms or Chief
          So, tell me for what ?

          Surely u can go and tell her that yourself. I don’t need to be informed by your mistake made. Neither do I wish to be informed. Just go direct to qms, to report your mistake made !

          If you feel that those messages u like are soo important to u, then go to THAT person who can rectify the situation. Don’t bother to tell me ? I can’t be bothered.
          In the first case, who is the one that made the mistake ?
          Nothing to do with me

            Proximity? Huge influx of infected who were with no obvious symptoms?

              Within Japan, the nCoV infected cases were low till the cruise ship docked. It’s numbers increased as ship is within Japanese waters leh. Onboard easier to spread if not sufficient facilities to limit virus transmissions for cabin quarantines. Ppl inside cabin need supplies, need food, need... That’s when cases possibly increased. I feel so sorry for those who willingly stay onboard but got the jitteries as the numbers rosed. Yet, the wisdom of the Japanese is an action to restrain it fr community spread if passengers are allowed to disembark.

              HK just added 26 new cases, all fr the ship docked at their shores.

              Just my logic. Feel free to share more inputs.

                Maybe their so sanitised that they do not have immunity?

                Just wondering if the flu vaccination will offer a little bit of protection since they are from the same family.

                  Cool,


                  Rmbr Dr Leo Yee Sin, says vaccination of Type A flu is diff fr getting Type B flu. Similarly, SARS, tho same family is still diff vaccine to treat. No known vaccine for nCoV at the moment. Can’t protect even a nano-bit leh.

                    This is more contagious than SARS , though less deadly at the moment.

                    But with the high infection rate, will the number of deaths (not %) exceeds SARS ? A case in point is China.

                    Better to be safe than sorry.
                    More contagious than SARS and the mortality rate may even be lower than the reported 2%-3% as the infected population is likely bigger than what’s known now. The deaths also appear highly concentrated in Hubei and Wuhan while the rest of China suffers from fewer deaths.

                    Guess we are worried due to the FEAR of the unknown. End of the day, it might be just FLU ++.

                    One interesting point, out of 3700 passengers and crew on the cruise ship in Japan, 41 were infected with CoV by just 1 HK CoV carrier.

                    41! That is already more than the 33 confirmed cases in the whole of SG ?!?!

                      I was responding to yr earlier post giving reasons for stocking food. So, in case u’re mistaken my intention but it’s the same moment I’m clarifying my call to u yr assumptions are the exact ideas that’ll cause anxieties & panic. Do not need yr elaboration coz u do not know if ppl are buying for those reasons. Don’t be offended. Just move off fr speculating stockups, as it’s not necessary but more constructively u can calm each other down as kind gesture.

                        Too many China visitors in japan
                        So higher probability?
