We have received (via PG) the daily “plan“ for tmr’s HBL. It seems quite straightforward to follow. There’s another HBL on 8 April 2020 according to MOE.

Since you are taking leave for the first day, I think for P5 it is reasonable for u to watch them login on their own, and attempt the online assignments on their own.

Maybe u can alternate (take turns) for your 2 kids. Eg when one is using computer, the other do the hard copy homework or do assessment book. Get them into this routine. Break to rest their eyes.

Then they can stick to the same routine at student care. If student care don’t have computer, then maybe they bring own laptop, but be wary of theft.[/quote]

When asked how long this home-based learning arrangement will last, Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said: \"It depends how long the virus lasts, and how long we feel it will be around.\"

My school said 2 weeks, MOE that side never give end date. So I just assume after 2 weeks will continue lor. Everything is very fluid and dependent on the virus situation anyway.

I’m almost going crazy. Working from home & still workload super busy (although US clients have asked to defer any Billings till as long as possible)...this tuition using one platform, another tuition using another platform, school using another platform, all must print worksheets beforehand, every single one got different login & password, download this app & that app...luckily I told the music & sports to just stop pestering me. Suspend lessons until I’m sane again.[/quote]

Your sch has foresight, already prepared. Not all schools have a permanent daily plan yet. Ours are still in the making, no daily plan yet, temporary for now is SLS. Must learn to take it as slow and steady, breathe

Chill is better, just let staff, parents, students breathe & take a break, enjoy their family time.


That’s what this period should be about…spending quality time with loved ones and treasuring our precious moments together. Life is too short.

Personally I think the risk of catching it from inanimate objects is still far, far less than catching it from unmasked sick people who cough without covering their mouth, hack up their phlegm and spit anywhere.

They are not asking the right questions of the Covid patients. “Did u notice anyone around you coughing without covering mouth? Did you take public transport??? Did you go to crowded enclosed aircon places and which??”

If they collate these answers, then they will be able to spot any trends/high risk places.

Surely some data scientists or epidemiologists can do up some data charts to show the highest risk factors within SG.

But, I think the major difficulty is that CID/contact tracing staff could not even get to speak with the poor ICU patient. Even his own family members could not hear him speak as he was on ventilator since very early on.

The probability of catching the virus from someone tested positive, unmasked and coughed onto us definitely higher than through object to human transmission.

But is really we have ZERO cases of object to human transmission? Then why we everyday kena brain-washed into washing hand/ sanitize hands.

Wa, If the police were to ask “Recently did anybody cough at you while taking public transport?” I think I also won’t be able to answer it. Take today for example, I took the escalator up, suddenly I smell bad breath! Wa, the person in front of me yawned with his mouth wide open, die liao lor. :lol:

Or maybe police bang table but the interviewees refused to admit they visited prostitutes etc? Who would want to admit? For what I admit? Not because of Covid, later end up in divorce if he is too honest?

We now have more than 100 unlinked cases but only 19 in ICU? So can’t trace should not be due to majority already in ICU.

I hope CID bucks up. Don’t tell me Govt rope in SAF to assist CID with contact tracing!!

Geylang pros also cannot remember who is who lah. They don’t scan QR Code for contact tracing. :rotflmao:

You are right, Geylang legal pros go for medical check-ups regularly and got strict regulations.

Scared is like those illegal ones, for example, maids soliciting, both sides will NOT admit.
