We have deep pockets but is for rainy days... Guess G realised rainy days are here, just gotta be patient abit and wait for the second package.
I worry if our hospitals can cope despite reports said G is prep to expand etc.
Beds and facilities can increase, medical professionals can't increase overnight.
Big countries hv deep pockets to cushion the economy impacts, how long can our little red dot sustain?
Other countries have resources tho... But that's beyond us -
And in the meanwhile, a certain ex-politician says he is running for elections in my GRC! lol!

China has to take the blame for the worldwide pandemic, as it started there, and they tried to suppress its visibility early on. This will happen again as wet markets are rife in South East Asia, and involve key vectors: buyers, sellers and other supply chain merchants - listen to this report https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7nZ4mw4mXw
Agreed. Without China setting the precedent of decisively locking down, things may have been a lot worse.lee_yl\" post_id=\"1967557\" time=\"1584512394\" user_id=\"17023:
Not a little credit. I think it’s a big credit.
Without Wuhan locking themselves down right before 春运, it could have been 10 times or 100 times worse. -

Those returning by tomorrow will not be subjected to the SHN...their children will still attend school and enrichment classes
I still see moderate numbers of secondary school students going back to school during these March holidays.
MOH has said that they won’t order school closures unless they start seeing evidence of the school-going age group being at higher risk, or of them being super-spreaders to vulnerable family members.
In any case, we can expect plenty of kids whose parents have happily taken them on overseas holiday cos unwilling to cancel or whatever, waiting out their compulsory 14-day SHN, which will last till 1-2 weeks after Term 2 starts. I’d expect many classrooms to be less than full when Term 2 reopens.
That should buy us a bit more time, flatten the curve a little bit.[/quote]

They will be issued LOA by MOE.

To further protect the education system, MOE, MSF and ECDA will implement additional precautionary measures over and above MOH's measures.
As some have travelled overseas during the March school holidays, we will issue a 14-day Leave of Absence (LOA) to students and staff of schools, preschools and student care centres who have been out of Singapore on or after 14 March, which is the start of the March school holidays.
=================
This means that any parent who have brought their children out for overseas holiday trip, on the start or beginning of the 14 March holiday [Saturday] during this one week holiday break, after returned back home to Singapore,
the student cannot come to school starting Term 2 next Monday 23 March.
Student must stay at home for 2 weeks, LOA
Schools will issue these students / parents LOA, SHN stay at home notice
They don't care when u come back to Singapore, from your holiday overseas.
It is the starting date, that is important
As long as students & family had departed out of Singapore, from this Saturday date 14 March 2020, means
must go on leave for 2 weeks, starting from next Monday, beginning of Term 2, 23 March -
