Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates
-
Dr Li Wenliang died at age 33. Another doctor in Wuhan, Dr Peng Yinhua, died at age 29 yesterday. Do they have underlying health condition?
-
I think for the Chinese doctors, it’s not underlying conditions, but viral overload.
-
And poor treatment facilities.
-
For these young docs, my heart goes out to them. They’re talented, dedicated & willing to be in the frontline to save lives, but as a result, the viruses ard them overpower.
Not easy when there are hundreds & thousands to treat day & night in hot suit. After all they are human & anything cld overcome them besides the viruses - tiredness, slip of mind when one hv to respond to nature’s call or sweat ard their faces, etc. Ustand that due to troublesome in wearing protective suit, they resort to wearing pampers to save fr disrobing & going to washroom.
My respect to the spirit of care & face their calling. Such valuable lives, gone. We learn fr their selflessness & continue the spirit of caring for others. :salute: -

Thank God my kids have not come to the stage whereby I have to use such terms on them.

If your child did something wrong do you scold him by saying \"I warn you not to repeat what you have just done or else you will get caning from me\" or as common parents do by saying \"oi stop or I whack you\". :pokeeye:
Think we shouldn’t CONFUSE the use of Singlish with the use of derogatory terms. You mean behind closed door, you use words like “idiots”, “suckers”, you don’t xia suey me” on your kids?
Behind closed doors, If my hubby uses such words on me, I will give him a flying kick!
However, I do admit that I ever used such terms on certain people but not to their faces. :siam: Basically I am a very nice person and talk nicely to people so much so that my kids think I am too nice already. However, if you ever step on my shoes and shit on my head, I will send my regards to your mother after using such terms behind your back for the N number of times. 
Well, just to kill curiosity, let me share what transpired behind the closed door with my kids.
The night when there was a run on the supermarkets, one of my friends sent me the photos. As usual, I forwarded it to my DS1 and DS3 to keep them updated. DS1 remarked that I am his CNA. DS1 has his own family and DS3 is staying in the hall. Below are our text exchanges.
Me (caption with photos): Happening now at NTUC.
DS1: Huh, all shelves empty? You are there?
Me: No lah, someone sent me the photos. There is a run on the supermarkets.
DS1: Haha, I thought you went to hoard also.
Me: No lah, I won't do anything to embarrass you.
Me (caption with photos): Happening now at NTUC.
DS3: why?
Me: Guess cos G just announced DORSCON orange.
DS3: Walau, but it is not WW3.
Me: Yes but I think some people are afraid that essentials run out.
DS3: Wa, rice I understand but why buy so many toilet paper? Got diarrhea arh?
As a tutor, I am not ashamed to say that I use Singlish with my kids. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Closed door mah. :censored: :censored: -

see, zac mom,phtthp\" post_id=\"1964092\" time=\"1582127446\" user_id=\"35251:I keep those random scraps of paper handy in my handbag (eg Unwanted receipts, namecards of overenthusiastic salespeople) - fold them & use the corner to press the buttons. Then I discard them as soon as I find a bin nearby.
Any other inanimate object is fine too, but it should be something that you are unlikely to touch again, especially to put near your face.
see how horrible people are, to spit onto the lift button, inside our Singapore LRT or MRT station. No wonder virus can spread !

Based on the law of probability and numbers, we should see our first death anytime soon. Hopefully, that won’t send people into paranoia and frenzy again.
