high chance that govt will extend CB, if the infected numbers do not drop. But can hospital cope with more patients?
Likely to have a circuit breaker every 3-4 months? Sure or not? Don’t think our economy can sustain that.phtthp\" post_id=\"1971194\" time=\"1586876980\" user_id=\"35251:

As for the circuit breaker, if necessary, I guess we can all cope with an extension this time. And having periodic circuit breaker periods sounds like a good idea. Better than being in lockdown for months on end. And every time it happens we should be more prepared for it. The economy will suffer, of course, but keeping people healthy and alive is still more important. -

Maybe Bubble Tea and 美珍香 (which I consider non-essential) to close except supermarkets. I still think supermarkets are overcrowded! Hope something can be done in this aspect. But I seriously doubt the scenario of CB every 3-4 months will come true.

The frontline workers are all v tired but we must give credit to MOH that our hospital system is still holding well. Majority of the FWs are reported to have v mild or no symptoms! If today’s outbreak is in all the old folks home, then that is worrying.
For the FWs clusters, as long as isolation works are done properly, they are unlikely to spread to us. Just that the figures will continue to grow and it’s kind of ugly. For the community infection, as long as we all guai guai “stay at home”, we will definitely see a drop a cases as we have seen this method work in many countries. So I am not against hefty fines on those who flout CB rules.
After all, we are a FINE city.

for this time round, the focus group(s) would be the FW from dorms and pray no cases from maids? during this CB period the peak could more or less be gauged or not?

I don't mind extended CB if there is still many unlinked cases dunno gotten from where.. better get it it ckeaner if not cleaned up.. if towards end of CB period can pinpoint almost all from dorms or any other places..then hopefully life could resume as normal.. watched a carton clip recently, announcement to extend and extend the lockdown period till the last one says no need go to work as co has gone bankrupt. -

Until community cases goes down to single digit or low double digit, better to extend CB. If die die must end the CB so that businesses can survive, school should remain closed.

A silly question - what is the correct way of wearing a surgical mask? Noted that the ear hook can be sewn on either the coloured or white side. Some said coloured side outwards while some advised follow the side the ear hook is sewn on against the face.
