Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

Find that Singaporeans are quite a \"potato\" bunch, behaving like Westerners, chillax and cool.
PM set the chillax tone. TBH, I was confused when I saw PM post a video and photo of many Singaporeans not maintaining safe distancing inside that cramped Ya Kun at Seletar Mall. He also posted another crowded photo outside NTUC at the same mall. That was 15 March. Subsequently, there were some photos of PM mingling with Teck Ghee hawker centre residents; also no social distancing at the tables!
If PM sets these kinds of examples, of course everyone will not take social distancing seriously and continue to huddle together to dine and booze. After all, Singapore's ''discharged'' rate is quite high, and there are so many public and private hospitals in Singapore. Why worry, right?
Every Fri and Sat evening, I still see many young church goers huddling together at cafes after service. Many Caucasian expats and international students in my neighbourhood do not wear masks. I chatted with a Japanese girl with his dad in a city food court. To my surprise, both were not wearing masks when they walked in. There were a few more Japanese and Koreans shoppers I bumped into at Cold Storage who weren't donning masks either.
Ikea café was still as super crowded as before. I shared a table with an Indian expat family that spoke with a thick British accent. No masks too. In the Ikea queue with no safe distancing markers yet, I saw no masks on 2 Hong Kong father and son too. The only family that donned masks came from China. The Chinese mom was chatting casually on her phone with some friend from overseas, \"是，我现在在宜家！真的，我跟你说啊，这里的人都不带口罩的！“
Everyone appears to be very confident of Singapore. :evil: -
I find that I have an issue here too…I asked dds to put on mask in school… and the younger one never put on mask and she told me yesterday…mom, you know, no one in my class put on mask…aiya, ok la then please don’t skimp on wet tissues and hand sanitizer then…

I feel it is really unethical of the tuition centres to charge e-learning at the same fee as regular tuition lessons. For P4 and below, there should be an option to opt out.
yah , online lessons, dunno can get 80% effectiveness or not, I am skeptical too.
Agree should charge 50% only , & make it optional
maybe priority given to National exam level, P6, Sec4 , A level etc -
Is it safe to visit the dentist and TCM now? I missed my dental appointment in Jan. I also need to go for cupping, but worry about those glass cups and that dubious bedsheet covering the mattress!

I wld forgo both as I’ve forgone my package (last year was too busy with FIL only managed to do 2 out of 10 but too risky to go use up after FIL gone in late Feb). I choose to forgo better than take risks & carry unknown back home after relaxing in TCM and every h’hold member may suffer worse.

I am at IKEA right now, not crowded at all. I wonder where has the lunch crowd gone?! Now, there are stickers in place for social distancing. The seating arrangements are also spaced out. Not bad.
