They can't agree? This is from a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention more recently: \"no evidence has shown that the new virus can be transmitted through aerosol\".

Really hope the claim abt airborne is not true ... there are no enough masks to go around
yest a povision shop i passed by trying to sell masks for $18/20pcs !!! earning such $$ in such stressful situation is definitely no good :nunchuk:

I read on a wats app msg - be careful abt Dry cough /persistent cough -whereby signs of lungs infection
This period, say bye bye to all those heaty & fried food

I bought around 70cts/pc late Jan and that considered 'cheap' now..easily more than $1/pc and some asking few $ a pc.. not enough stocks dont dare to 'anyhow' use them..I m wondering what's the difference if we dont wear all the time. Pray this bad time pass quickly [/quote]Govt take profiteers to task. Don’t buy at exhobitant price. Carousell and other online platform told to spot for profiteers.

Unity controlling tap. You can still get 10 pcs each trip for $3.50 fr UNITY Pharmacy. Works out to 0.35 per piece? We just got fr Unity last Saturday ard 2pm. They’ll issue you a Q number so there’s no crowd gathering. They told us to come back at 7pm but next 10 min, they started distributing. We didn’t hv to wait till 7pm.

Control is nec owise like those ppl go frenzy buying then game over. Those who need really can’t buy coz NTUC storeroom move to some hoarder’s home or move online to profit before arriving in yr hands.

No idea why difficult for you to get fr Unity. Which one do you patronize? It’s good you’re not feeding the online suckers. I nvr trust online sources unless I know it’s got good track records. If you really need, pm me.

Agree. The service staff are most vulnerable. We made a quick trip to GBB as DH wants a shot of CNY floral decor there. Quite empty with handful visitors.

Saw some staff inside counter wearing masks but the young fellows guiding tourists not wearing. I had 2 in my bag & handed them. Guess they must be part-timers?

Feel sorry that taxi uncles & Grab drivers hv less riders but it’s better they wear masks even if they’re not ill.

to update, I see that supermarkets restocking this morning..rice/bread/veg have already, canned food still taking time.

I was at a SS this morning - huge piles of toilet paper and rice outside the entrance! And no empty shelves visible inside. Everything looked back to normal (I shop there every week).

I didnt go to the toilet tissues section but good to hear that..this morning the first I went to, Finest,.just a few sections quite low stock..the rest restocking/have availability and almost no queue. And I went to the next, usually have more ppl, but many with 1 basket only..hope everything will be normal.

Unity limits 10 masks per person and the queue is usually very long...

If only the government controls the sale of masks and sanitisers earlier on. I don’t bother to buy masks...just don’t wear... online selling $1 per masks... crazy pricing.

agree the front liners need it more than us. .if touch wood they get, many will get it also.
