Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

I trusted my frd’s decision. Alr moves dementia mum to sister’s home before arrival of daughter. Good to be mindful of others not capable to doing higher level of hygiene & self-care.

Those returned from overseas would hv been screened upon arrival.

Those with symptoms would hv been transferred to hosp.
Those w/o though may be asymptotic probably just stay at home for 14 days though pose some risk to their family members but somehow better than wandering around.

Here in England GCSEs and A Level exams this summer have been cancelled led, and will be replaced by a mechanism that aggregates mock results, test results and estimated grades. It impacts those in Y11 (age 15-16), and Y13 (age 17-18). It’s a terrible system open to subjectivity and abuse. My children will be taught online via MS Teams. For more on how grades are to be divined, see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8136629/Exams-graded-pupils-sat-them.html

Nobody knows what is next. Schooling kids and working adults all hv their own set of challenges to deal with.

I wld expect if very serious, MOH will get authorities to raise DORSCON. There is a protocol. I expect them govt will close schools & get e-learning activated. I’m sure they’re working very hard to prepare for all the inevitable scenarios

I’m not sure if I missed the point.

There’s so much resources we hv within small reddot SG. Some families prefer to hv their family members under same roof by choice. Some do not feel they want to hv family member out alone in hotel, so they still take precautions for distancing with careful hygiene practices & distancing - self lockdown at home. We’re not talking abt confirmed COVID right? If they’re tested positive or fall I’ll, then they shld get into hospital for appropriate treatment

My frd’s daughter coming back fr US & ano fr UK, but both chose to hv their beloved home. One hv a dementia mother, whom they’re indeed concern for but arrange with ano sister to care for his mum. I’m thankful enuf we hv sons & daughter’s back fr seriously widespread places. Hope they’re cleared after 14-days self-quarantine & life life as normal as possible with the rest of family members under one roof.

The tricky thing is the returned family member could be asymptomatic. While they have protected their own elderly family member by moving them to another household, the other family members who are still staying in the same household could have caught the virus and spread to others. Unless they also stay at home for 14 days.
