            1. Better to quickly disperse the 20,000 of them to Changi Airport terminal 2 for isolation, just spread them out for actual social distancing.

            2. BMT just got postponed, right, so use the barracks to hold these FWs lah.

            3. How about old schools, SERS flats waiting to be demolished etc.

            MOH should quickly advise on the best mode of isolation for these FWs so why they soooo quiet?!

            I hope you were just joking about (1) & (2), You know it's impossible. Homeland security. Occupy HKIA is a good e.g.

            (3) Do you how why Lim Hwee Hua and George Yeo lost Aljunied in 2011? An old secondary school was retrofitted to house 600 FW (PRC, Msian, Filip in hospitality and healthcare sectors) and that was met with great fury.

            Expo isolation cubicles were up last night. They should be adding beds today. I think the confirmed dorm occupants with mild symptoms will be housed in Expo hall.

            D'Resort at Pasir Ris might not be for the MWs. An American interviewee told CNN that her hubby is sharing a twin-room with someone else at D'resort as he has mild symptoms. He was transferred there from a local hospital to free up beds for the more critical patients.

            Now that Aljunied is no longer PAP’s, good chance to reuse the school to house the FWs

            Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Between the 2 evils, a community-wide spread with an escalating death rate, OR some disgruntled voices, just do the right thing !

                    This dormitory 20, 000 people clustered together, is a very serious issue.
                    No social distancing, in the way they live at these dorm.
                    All cluttered together, pity them also in the manner they live, living like chicken inside a coop


                    This issue, must tackle fast !
                    If don't escalate, virus \"explode\", situation deteriorate further

                    Because

                    if those 20,000 foreign workers inside the dorm have girl friends who are mainly maids, then these maids will pass virus to the auntie and uncles, their children or grand children, inside their HDB / condo / private property family household, jialut

                    And once their school-going children get hit or infected, if school were to re-open after 30 April, other fellow class-mates and school-mates will get it from them

                      Thanks Zac's mum. Unfortunately I have the round dining table with the lazy susan on it. And also the living room may not be conducive to calls .

                      @Sun, maybe get/ borrow a foldable table.
                      Thanks got a foldable table from a hdb shop yesterday evening. So set up my monitor, wireless keyboard & mouse, Working this morning, I really find it spacious and convenient. I can even put my legs up on the lower bar 😄
                      I also set up my floor chair and low laptop desk by the window,

                      Prep work done.

                      PS - online shopping with delivery is still available during the partial lockdown

                        BBC reporting on scientific modelling of public health benefit of school closure on coronavirus spread. Potential non-immediate mental health, educational and socio-economic costs.


                        %5Bhttps%3A//www.bbc.com/news/amp/health-52180783

                        The original review paper -

                        %5Bhttps%3A//www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4642%2820%2930095-X/fulltext%5D

                        Interesting summary of social distancing options in school, and suggestions of phrased re-opening.

                        By the way, \"social distancing\" in some other countries is 2 meters minimum.
                        2 meters has its scientific testing & studies backing. I saw a video on Japanese scientists testing under high power lighting to show spread of droplets fr speach & particles fr cough & sneezes. The projections fr such action spew really far.

                        Ano highlight is the benefit of open windows & 2-way outlets as such viruses disperse fast into opened windows & if into sunlight it’ll vaporize by UV.

                        I’m hoping MOH & authorities will recommend all office premises, schools, dormitories, hotels, airports, restaurants, buses, trains, CCs, malls open up all air-conditioned premises & sanitize every nooks & corners before the circuit breaker timeout ends. Step-up cleaning for those essential services locations by adding manpower for cleaning & sanitizing. I’m sure some who’ve lost jobs wldn’t mind doing a bit to contribute to restring us back to clean & hygienic environment. This window opportunity best when everyone starts to stay home. Just my thots.
