Have to bring own empty bottles.

Today, good frd in Tianjin call to ask if I need her to send masks, sanitizers & thermometers. I don’t know why but on reflex just said don’t need to trouble her as her country medics resources may need. She said in China, they wear masks but all schools go on e-Learning, so hardly use except for grocery outing. She assured me their production is back to normal so she can send some if my family needs. We spoke for almost 3 hours & her daughter clearing UK as the virus spread to European countries. This is a good friend who rmbrs our frdship in the midst of this COVID crisis. Warm feeling.

Ano M’sian/Indo coupled with 2 kids & bz in Shanghai had been taking safe shelter for last 2 mths but quickly pack up to fly back to Shanghai the moment M’sia announced lockdown. Where can we hide now?

Still see S'poreans going overseas for holidays this period. Please please please , let's not be complacent and let our guard down. Refrain from unnecessary travel and urge your family to do the same! Everyone needs to play a part!

These are probably those kiasu travelers booked holidays since last year but no possibly to forgo hefty tickets & accommodation fees that runs into thousands?

If all travels ard the world lockdown, then might possibly get refund or the like. One gains ano loose out. The airlines, hotels, restaurants, etc hv to cut staff, suffer big losses & eventually retrenchment which comes back to haunt the individuals.

Must learn to let go. Hope Hspanese learn to with 2020 Olympics too.

Read that if you put on SHN as a result of non essential travel, you use your own leave to serve it?

I don’t go anywhere lately & dont think abt it as much except to treat life as normal. No stocking up. Got myself busy with gardening. The weather has been good for my edibles.

Yes, more cases. Kept reminding family members to hv higher level of hygiene & not to touch face. We let MIL hv as many masks as she thinks she needs as she’s past 80s. We try to ferry her to get her needs & things done. We pay to keep our helper safe at home as her classes has been suspended too. Other than that no other special effort.
