Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates
-
implication ?
(thinking aloud)
Hari Raya is on 24 May
this CB extension to end of May month, means that Malay cannot do house-visiting during Hari Raya, because under CB lock-down. Thus, this is a smart move, to curb (control) covid-19 virus spread, to prevent people from "running around", during house-hopping visits.
=====================
in the month of May school-holiday,
many Malaysians in Singapore are thinking of going back to Malaysia for holiday.
However, with this CB extension, Malaysians are not allowed to get out of Singapore, go back to their hometown in Malaysia for holiday, and then quickly rush back to Singapore just in time, getting ready to start new June school Term 3
many Malaysians cannot go back too, they are forced to stay in Singapore -
what season is this ?
people are dying all over the world, mourning death, because of covid-19
yet, people still fight, during queuing up for bubble tea

I haven't listened to PM's full speech nor the full media conference as I was so busy this afternoon till now. He mentioned leveraging IT somewhere in his address, and that someone is now working on some app similar to the type employed by Korea.
I am upset by PM Lee’s statement today. He said we will need to extend CB till 1st June as the number of unliked cases has not come down, which suggested a “hidden reservoir” of cases in the community. I find that statement poorly justified. Thought MOH themselves admitted last week that it was getting harder to track as the number of new confirmed cases grows. If laypersons like us can sense that the contact tracing is SLOW / INEFFICIENT, leading to a snowball, then the conclusion that “a reservoir” of hidden cases exists is unfounded.
TraceTogether has severe limitations. Why GovTech doesn’t assist MOH? Because the job is not sexy? If TraceTogether can work, will MOH make their earlier statement or not. Obviously, both are not talking to each other.
Cell Broadcast may bring unnecessary panic to many folks in S’pore. We are not as civic conscious or as socially responsible.
MOH could be too proud to ask for technology help? Or do they even know what to ask for in the first place. Maybe since most of their management are trained doctors so they think they know everything? Or they keep clinging on to their past glories, the SARS gold standard?
Kenneth Mak, thanked SAF in today’s press conference. It’s strange that he didn’t also thank the Police and SCDF as well. Some undercurrents?
We did not use electronic wristband as we have our own Home Detention System but MOH chose not to use it for whatever reasons.
FWs wearing coloured rubber wrist band? For what? Thought they just head straight back to their dorms after work.
I was more interested in Josephine Teo's defensive response to 1 foreign media (?) and 1 local reporter's questions. I think she should be asked to step aside and let Chief of Guards Mr Seet take charge! LOL!
When LKY was still alive in 2003, Lim Hng Kiang was moved from MOH to PMO for making some faux pas about the SARS superspreader? Then Khaw came in to take over the SARS operation in Apr 2003. Come GE 2020, she should be moved to Marymount SMC! Don't drag Ng Eng Hen down! Ng Eng Hen did no wrong. He is now helping Josephine Teo by deploying his poor army boys at the dorms. Imagine how worried wives and dc of these SAF regulars are right now.
MOM is like the 猪队友 of the entire taskforce. Every ministry is working its guts out to safeguard its respective turfs and trying hard not to drop any ball, but MOM dropped their ''Foreign Manpower'' ball and caused so much agony to everyone, including Lawrence Wong and Gan Kim Yong! The first half of the match was quite ok. Second half of the match was like :faint: Now so many F&B staff are going lose their income.
MWs' coloured wristbands for identifying who's supposed to be isolated at which floor of the same dorm I think. Saw it on FB.
Don't read too much into Kenneth Mak's omission of SPF and SCDF. SAF should be lauded really! SAF is helping MOM to clean :imconstipated: !!! -
Read some details that shoppers entering supermarkets will have to undergo temperature checks and provide their contact details for contact tracing purposes.
This should have been done right from the start. This is true contact tracing, ie having the customers’ data all ready in the shared database, then when any patient is admitted, computer can crunch the links using its AI computing power to show up any clusters or hotspots (Eg IKEA or BBT or Fairprice panickers/hoarders).
Previously what the so-called manual contact tracing is not even proper tracing. It’s called “after the horse run away then shut the door & check why door not locked”.
Reactive vs proactive tracing. :slapshead: -

I was going to buy my Dalgona from CBTF tomorrow and to cut my hair at QB House. Now I've take the stationery scissors to trim my hair.
Personally, I don't think Old Chang Kee is that essential. Just buy Dodo, Bobo and deep-dry at home. I know there are curry puffs sold at some kopitiam and hawker centre Malay food stalls. I also know where to get my Otah.
You know some hawker centres sell buns, muffins and donuts too?
Confectioneries are not a worry for me, as I have all these in my fridge now - Fruit jams, kaya, Skippy, Goober, Nutella, luncheon, kani sticks, Marmite, butter, Alcacore tuna, sardines, smoked salmon, proscuitto ham, bockwursts, mayo, mentaiko, honey mustard, anchovies, olives, caviar, foie gras and a decent selection of cheeses. I just need minimum 1 loaf of Gardenia bread because I do not know how to make bread.
Supermarkets also sell frozen Delifrance rolls, airflown French croissants /NYC bagels/ Eng muffins / French crepes / Monica Kueh Lapis, Kueh Bahulu, Sara Lee cakes, Tesco/Waitrose tarts, meringues and pies, pancakes and eggnog waffles. These are all substitutes to satisfy my sweet tooth since I do not bake.
I also have a wide selection of black and brown sugar I got from Australia farmers mkts, gula melaka, sago and many types of tea leaves to brew my own BBT. I think we can substitute the BBT pearls with bobochacha tapioca pearls or sago or chin chow.
Anyway, you can order Breadtalk online now.
