Is our first zoom HBL trial today for our school. A rare chance to see how our kids behave in front of their teachers and classmates.
My goodness, I cannot believe, my boisterous kids turned into mannerly, polite kids in class -

By the time reach teen, most hv diff personas. They’re more socially aware. Come home they don’t hv to withhold & more lax coz know family members can tahan their ‘natural self’. :evil:

How to turn them around? To retain some of their true self? Other than observing their parents?

So what do you think will happen when the FWs in isolation start to see more and more of their friends inside the gazetted isolated Dorm get sick?

[quote=lee_yl post_id=1970283 time=1586244585 user_id=17023]So far, it seems like the 20,000 FWs will continue to stay put inside the gazetted isolated Dorms. Hope the task force can act on the matter fast!
Don’t think the 400-bed isolation facilities at Expo is meant for the FWs. MOH said in ST that it’s for those who are recovering from Covid-19 or with mild symptoms, will move over from hospitals to free up the hospital beds. 400 beds also not enough for the 20,000 FWs to space them out although I heard the project to convert Halls 3 and 4 just put up for tender. By the time they are ready, I think the 14 days crucial period could be over already. Don’t forget we still have few new Dorm clusters popping up.
It is just an isolation facility so there’s no need for so many nurses there but do need someone like police to guard the FWs.
Ya. I’m concern not enuf to space FW out. So pitiful to hv no where to run to & afraid the next FW is infected or might spread to them. They’re still a human life, doing work that S’poreans will not labor at & each hv families back in their hometown.
Realized our small redot SG still need to convert more space for quarantine & isolation. Looks like might need to extend LOAs of foreign workers if the FW clusters or cases increases. Still need a solution to space then out. I see a lot of undeveloped land & wonder is temporary tents (shelter sun & rain) can be erected as NY did when they ran out of space.
Skeletal onsite medical resources still needed but security definitely must be in place. You don’t know what reaction once these workers fear for life & want to exert themselves for freedom or sth. It is good we see them putting in 2-3 big police cars with police servelliance 24/7
When they have nowhere to run and worried sick that the virus may spread to them, the 20,000 workers will try to escape at some point (something like the Little India riot). I am not saying this will happen but we never know.
Either the few policemen inside kena stampeded to death or one of the policemen pull out a gun and fire at the FWs in self defense. Then we will be on the world headlines.[/quote]Lee_yi, you raise a valid point. I hope gov has mental health experts studying the situations and have steps to defuse the fear and panic rising in such dorms. -

Can imagine how tough it is for those children with special needs.
they often hire special needs' trained tutor to go to their house, or their parents bring them to tutor's house, for private tuition one to one. This part, the blanket-sweep-law should allow empathy, because for these parents struggling, whether in peace time or covid-time, their special need child still need 1 to 1 private tutor
can read this article, how during these tiring, stressful covid period,
there are many parents in Hongkong, who are struggling with special need children.

Just my observations,
Near my home, the number of people using the Park connectors and the shared paths has almost tripled this morning compared to last week. This morning saw many parent with kids , Some had masks on.
While mostly there is safe distancing , at few points it does tend to get crowded with people in both directions and families walking together. Especially parts near the residential areas. Hope people soon learn to walk in a single file even within a family at such bottle necks.
Monday night ( 10pm+) also i noticed double the walker/joggers - usually there are only a hand full of people in say 0.5 km stretch. Still quite spacious at night, no crowding
At the outdoor exercise areas quite a few people, I wouldnt say crowded still. I would avoid using the machines there for now though.
I must start earlier from tomorrow. And will probably have my cloth mask on when i am passing by these areas.
Pour in your suggestions and comments on exercising/ walking/cycling during the "circuit breaker" -

Think best don’t use those public exercise machines.
