Won’t lah. Maybe they have learnt their lesson from the DORSCON Orange event, so this time round, they preempt us very early !
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.
Heard that the Bangladeshis worker is reacting well to treatment, maybe got hope.
Though the probability of contracting virus is low, but for him, if sayonara, he will leave behind 2 small kids and a pregnant wife. -
Sad to hear of those infected but so far our medical support has been good with no deaths and gradually hear of full recovery & testimonies. I believe for family members it’s harrowing experience full of uncertainties & anxieties. Hope by end of this month more discharge & no new cases.
Keep clean & healthy friends, and be strong & brave in your heart. Stay united. We can do it together Singaporeans! -

The lady asymptomatic but infected 5 of her relatives when she went Anyang to visit them.

There is this Sichuan citizen, just recovered from Covid-19, discharged from hospital for 10 days but contracted Covid-19 for the 2nd time and was sent back to hospital! :faint:
Btw, did I miss out something? The auntie who kena Dengue and Covid-19, did MOH mention she got it from where? Not from Aedes mosquitoes bah,
How about the Chinese national worker #85 on work permit here, no link to the earlier cases also?

For such cases, I would just take it as \"can't be helped\". But if the person is asymptomatic, he/she will not be coughing or sneezing in your face, and if we maintain adequate social distance and not touch our faces, the risk is low. The only way to reduce the risk more would be to isolate every single person, just in case, or have everyone wear full protective gear at all times. Some risk in life is inevitable; you can't eliminate all risk.

Now that we know there can be asymptomatic spread, we can be careful even with people who don't show symptoms, but in this woman's case, the people around her probably didn't know that there could be asymptomatic spread and didn't take precautions. -
I think our own immune system plays a critical role in overcoming the virus.

How, then, has CCS risen this far?
That would be a valid question even if I did not utter the T word. But with Tharman, one of Asia’s sharpest minds and Singapore’s most popular politician in the background, it makes the elevation of CCS seem like a cruel joke, as if Singaporeans are being forced to live through an extended reality show where the best person has so egregiously been voted off the island.
General chatter suggests that CCS is the favoured 4G minister of Lee Hsien Loong and Ho Ching, and might even have gotten the nod over Heng Swee Keat as Singapore’s next prime minister, but for some broad disgruntlement among the PAP’s cadres.
If the PAP had instead chosen as leader Tharman, its current top electoral performer who elicits broad, cross-party adoration, it would have pulled the rug from under the opposition. A long period of dominance would beckon. If the PAP cared about its own electoral future, in other words, it would have chosen Tharman.
This, then, is what scares me the most. CCS symbolises the idea that the Lee family’s interests are being prioritised over the party’s and the country’s.
And he best embodied this at the February 2017 debate over constitutional changes to pave the way for the reserved presidency, which limited that year’s election to Malays. Many Singaporeans believe this was a political manoeuvre masquerading as racial representation, led by Lee Hsien Loong to prevent (nemesis) Tan Cheng Bock from contesting.
During the debate CCS stood up in parliament and called Halimah Yacob “Madam President”. He did it not once but twice, laughing along with his fellow PAP politicians, having a ball of a time, delighting themselves in their own megalomaniac conceit. A full seven months before the election, Halimah’s colleagues were already calling it in her favour.
They made a blatant mockery of our democratic process.

I think the difference between Covid-19 and normal flu is the infection spread speed. If Covid-19 spread like normal flu, hospitals in Wuhan won’t be overcrowded. Patients will be coming in as per normal flu rate. Not like Covid-19 where large number of patients needs to be hospitalised within a short period of time. Hopefully South Korea can do better than China in handling the infection containment and hospital beds. -
I see everywhere crowded as before. I don’t think the business is affected much
