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

        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?

        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 ?!?!

                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 ?

                Who can update the counter?
                Only moderator qms

                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
                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?

                    Glad to feel u’re more relaxed & see clearly the situation. Like the way u expressed it as “deaths...highly concentrated in Hubei and Wuhan...”

                    The 14-days not over for cruises docked in HK & Japan. Now, ano Cruise moves over to Taiwan after being turned away fr Japan.

                      If u want to give people lecture on kindness, then u ought to practise yourself first

                      Ask yourself honestly

                      Purposely broadcast to the whole world that u accidentally press the like button:

                      This type of action from u, already show that u are very mean (unkind), trying to mock at me

                      If u are kind,
                      u don't even need to broadcast anything here. Just sms qms quietly, tell her yourself that u made a mistake, and ask her to update the counter accordingly

                      And by the way, this is NOT your first time u broadcast to the whole world that u accidentally press the like button. Last time, u also did the same identical action too

                      Remember this -
                      If u do not want other people to do the same thing to u, then u should not do it to others in the first case


                      Let me turn around the situation


                      Suppose u write a message post into ksp
                      Then someone else broadcast to the world world, that they accidentally press the like button to YOUR message, how would u feel ?

                      Going forward, Esteema

                      In future if u made mistake again to my messages

                      DONT broadcast again
                      Just go direct to qms or go to Chief, to update my count. Just own up your mistake made

                      Don't say I never inform u in advance
                      All the people who are reading this message now they can be witness
