So I guess, this was anticipated?

FW dorm cases, so we have CB mainly because of someone forgot abt their risks?

Maybe they are really shorthanded. Details of 6,000 cases to be compiled into that press release and Annex, plus those daily pretty situation report graphs to ensure transparency. MOH staff got to get the nationality, age, cluster, gender and isolation facility/hospital correct. There's the footnote detailing so many Case numbers of discharged patients every day. Other countries have other states or provinces coming in to support the hardest-hit metropolitans. The MOH staff must be having panda eyes now.

Maybe can get SAF to help? Mine here at home keeps playing games :frustrated:

In the first place, MOH shouldn’t be doing contact tracing. MOH’s forte is in saving lives and not all these detective / investigative work. Like Ho Ching said, using the SARS lens to see the Covid-19 situation. The unlinked cases snowballed within 2 weeks!! If contact tracing was fast enough, perhaps the FWs would have been spared from the Mustafa cluster.


The frontline medical staff are doing a good job. But to the person-in-charge of contact tracing, good effort BUT you have FAILED to deliver !!

“We are particularly concerned that it is increasingly difficult to link the new cases and identify the source of infection. In fact, the number of unlinked cases in the community has increased slightly, from an average of 19 cases per day in the week before to an average of 22 per day in the past week,” MOH said.

Another issue that deserves some attention, I read from Kenneth Mak’s web interview that MOH has set up medical posts in selected dorms manned by doctors and nurses. This was met by limited success as the FWs were too afraid to go down to get themselves tested when they had the symptoms.

Aiyo... I recall on 05 April, I suggested aggressive testings or the BCG vaccinations (for FWs) in an effort to curb the spread among the FWs in the dorms. More than one week has passed, I wonder how many more FWs have been infected. Sigh...

Putting NS discipline aside (which no doubt is important), I feel these boys are capable to work. DS worked as a temp before BMT for a few months and he was offered to work in that company after uni so I believe there are many boys doing NS that can be taught to do case tracing.

I thought SAF is already helping MOH to do contact tracing. Earlier, I saw CID and SGH staff doing it only.

With 6000 over cases, aiya! I say forget about this laborious contact tracing. Those European countries didn't even bother doing contact tracing when they only had low thousands. MOH staff will go bonkers linking up cases. Local media also gave up creating relationship trees and charts liao.

With 320,000 MW, very soon by end of April, you'll see 5-digits!
''Case 10807 is a family member of Cases 10439 and 10295''. Kee siao. :siao:

I think Bangladashis take only 1 BCG jab after birth within 12 mths. (Our SC infants take booster within 18 mths irrc.) No booster jab given later in puberty. Bangladesh has 84 deaths currently. Not too bad considering sanitation is poor and healthcare system is not robust.

I saw on TV SAF MOs are manning the dorm medical posts. But only those who feel sick will approach the MOs for checking.

I noticed in ntuc, the potatoes are moist which made me suspect that they start budding easily. I put them in the kitchen cabinet.

Take them out of their bags. Put in a basket lined with newspaper or kitchen towels. That should help. Either that or just dump them in the veg drawer in the fridge.

I put them all in the fridge. Outside is too warm and humid, and I don't have space to spread them out in lined baskets etc.
