I was actually surprised to encounter morning traffic jam around 8am++ this morning on my way to breakfast with some SAHMs. I thought more people would be working from home or hiding at home nowadays.

Are majority of Singaporeans still having to report to office 9am-6pm?[/quote]

not all job roles & functions allow working from home for long term.
there are some servers need physical access. remote access may be v slow .

Can't understand why toilet paper can be a hot topic

No idea
BUT Toilet paper is a much more interesting topic than whether a cruise ships can or cannot stop - not that we have any control over it.

I do have a very important related question, a matter of life and death...

Does single-ply, two-ply or three-ply toilet paper make a difference vs the virus?

dun think there is One ply la- wipe n tear n dirty your fingers leow, min 3 plys.
Tissue papers have two & 3 /4 plys
Today radio 95 givng out free 20 rolls Fluffy soft Toilet rolls that djs claimed can used as pillows :scratchhead:
more like cold jokes fr djs.... haha

[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1966467 time=1583829239 user_id=53606]3-ply can last u 3x as long compared to 1-ply if hiding at home for the rest of your life maybe?

Toilet paper to 挡 Virus? 10 ply also not enuf. It’s material starts disintegrating once wet or saliva or breathing droplets. For diahorea will be useful but need a lot, maybe that’s why ppl buy to get ready in case hit by seri-ious COVID.

Good luck to anyonevuskngbit for upper body.

only a few cases covid 19 respiratory infections + diarrhea symtoms right? i dun recall i read a lot of such cases
I do rememeber the guy who went seletar grrenwich GP , ws not detected coz initially was stomach flu like symtoms- but that may be due to low immune , kena covid (hidden) + stomach upset

so far most do not have runny stools right ?
why still rush for toilet rolls
Fotr women ,may need toilet rolls more than men ,monthly affairs. But other times, not really, normal usage[/quote]MP,
My u’stand’g is it’s just a combination of anxieties, irrationality & herd mentality. Even a psychiatrist cannot help herself but extra toilet paper fr supermkts. :roll: So, it’s natural human response & some hv it more than others. Some are slower in responding & save the day fr over-spending & hoarding till silver fish well fed till fat fat (exaggeration here). Once done, even buy a little bit feels more relieved like a security blanket thingy I guess.

This toilet paper crunch seems to spread like the virus to the rest of the world. We can read that pple in other countries also stockpile it.


If really no more mask, maybe a multi-ply toilet paper can be a mask ???

My HR is located in QLD, my finance dept is located in SYD, my IT Dept in Gold Coast, my CEO works from home in the suburbs & knocks off at 2pm Aussie time to fetch his kids from school. By necessity (Nobody can commute hours to cross to another state just to print stuff), the company invested deep for a good & fast remote login system - literally everything is done on the cloud platform. Yes including confidential finance & legal docs. The only no-no: never use free public WiFi to login for work. That’s vulnerable to hackers.

I dunno about hackers coming in thru secured internet, but as long as non-military classified info, should be ok.

I still know some dinosaur SG companies need to print out every single piece of email from client and pay for storage space for all the files. Should move with the times & store everything electronically Liao.

I read not only toilet paper as filter for diy mask…can use tissue paper and also dried up wet tissues.
