I bought through them as I trust their quality. There was a brief period OOS but supply has come in recently & they said can collect already.

They even set up a pop-up kiosk next to the Fun Toast outlet so that u don’t need to enter the hospital & worry about catching infections.

Fair warning though, the pop-up store can get crowded with long Q, depending on demand.

How much is RH selling per piece? Made in where?[/quote]

I went in check no stock now..selling 4 at 1.80.

Zac's mom, so if non patient of Raffles can only buy 1 pack..can bring dd there so can get another pack?

$1.80 for 4 pieces. Dunno made in where, but looks identical to the ones that govt have free. Sorry it seems to be OOS again:

My family members just clicked buy online thru the app. They will notify you thru email once ready for collection. And I collected for all of them (show the email confirmation order number) since near my office. So...I’m meaning you ask all the adults in the house to order. Maybe student email also can order, I dunno.

Just gotta wait cos this is for non-urgent cases. If really urgent cos sick and need to go doctor, better just use their video doctor consult service, or call up a PHPC clinic and see whether they can send a mask/ambulance over.

Just few days ago, green party selling at $45 per box of 50pcs from china


$1.80 per 4 pcs is very good deal

Thanks, zac's mum. $0.45 per piece is very reasonable. It's now going for $0.70 per piece in the market.

How do they define patient of RH? Some of us had been to RH for some specialist treatments before, but not currently warded there, so I wonder if I can buy 2 packs.

I hope the students and scholars returning to SIN are masked up. Is the govt going to hand them some free masks too, since their parents might have used up their govt mask while they were abroad?

There are about 2700 SCs joining a UK uni per year in 2017, so that could be up to 10,000 for 4 levels incl post-grad?
There should be about 2.800 SCs joining an Oz uni per year back in 2017, so you can calc yourselves. But I've not heard of any students returning from Oz now.
There should be about 4800-5000 SCs joining a US college each year back in 2016...

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

Let me see. China took about 1-1/2 months from November 2019 to detect, identify and genetically sequence a virus nobody had ever heard of before that caused symptoms similar to a bad case of flu. The US, UK and EU sat on their behinds for about 1-1/2 months from January 2020 after China told them about the virus and even gave them the genetic sequence. Yet, somehow it is China's fault?

No lah. I think even if China had informed them one month earlier in December 2019, they would have just sat on their behinds for 2-1/2 months instead of 1-1/2 months.

From that shop, bottles of hand sanitizers are pretty expensive too.

Am I the only one not wearing a mask?
