I hope more media coverage to remind people dun Secretly go visiting during the Hari holidays . We can’t afford to have incre back in cases , fr Hari raya ph to 1 June is only one week, sch suppose to start , if cases come back again , how to go sch
Actually cutting down population in sch , maybe can explore grad students go 3 days, lower level go Two days per week . Up n lower level wil not meet .Rest Of days is stay home do hbl .
Cca should not start yet to prevent grp interactions … pe should spread out just do toning n stretching , no more physical contact PE games eg basketball , whatever games with contacts
Again , I am concern for kids who need to brave through crowded public transport n need to wear mask for more than 8 hrs in sch in hot humid weather …mayb
sch should start at off peak hr n dismiss at off peak hours too . In this way , crowds on transport are spread out , ?
After 1 June , still unsure can eat in food court or food places OR can do crowd control to number of people for sit down eating , once hit the “Limited number “, Cust must take away ?
And continue to crowd control in popular wet market n supermarket even after 1 June
Continue to wear mask in public transport , malls, crowded areas etc
Social distance in public areas should continue -

Lots of these at SS (Commonwealth) yesterday.MyPillow\" post_id=\"1973611\" time=\"1588339099\" user_id=\"70594:
Can’t find short pasta , wanted to mass cook n fridge them so kids can do own pasta lunch , stir in olive oil, herbs , chicken meat, eggs or sausages . I find difficult to get condensed soup, but today I found in CS too, except short pasta
I m on aglio nowadays so no need pasta sauces le. Left one bottle in fridge to cook sparingly .
What I am looking for is baking powder! It was sold out at my local SS and Fairprice for the past week or so. I have half a container left, so I can wait a while. Hope they get new stock on the shelves soon. -

Yday saw short pasta at VivoCity NTUC. But noticed it’s in bigger packs now. My family only likes AngelHair but it’s totally out at CS, SS, PhoonHuat & NTUC.
slmkhoo,
Will the PhoonHuat @ Bouna Vista be within yr range for Baking powder? I got mine fr Clementi just 2 weeks back. -

This is what I notice too. From my living room window, I can still see (at all hours, weekdays & weekends) people waiting at the bus stop & cars non-stop on the roads.
There are still many ppl moving about in the community...
The people walking about/at bus stop are all dressed in casual clothing, don’t look like essential workers to me.
I think Singaporeans have difficulty differentiating between real necessities & wants.
This is the reason why there are still community cases arising. None of them are afraid of being those 5-15 daily cases? Stay at home! -
Even if there are pple moving around, where are the sources of infection?

I was just there last week, before I realised that my baking powder was running low, and I don't want to make another trip there just for 1 item (limiting movement). I usually buy baking powder at supermarkets, which was why it didn't occur to me then. I'll go when I run out if the supermarkets haven't restocked by then.

I noticed from the official reports that those people who caught it, some of them went to work *while still sick*.
Even if there are pple moving around, where are the sources of infection?
Transmitted to colleagues, customers, even if all wearing masks?
Or they touched surfaces that are not cleaned thoroughly?
Or travelled on public transport?
Anybody who is out there mingling in the community (or on public transport, at supermarkets, malls) around them during their sick period (not quarantined yet)...are at high risk of catching it too.
I can understand if daily rated workers/essential workers under pressure by bosses feel pressured to continue working while sick. But they are walking virus transmitters.
Stay home to keep away from them. -

1. smaller new-generation flats/condos; mid- to big-size family of 5-6 (incl helpers/elderly) in 90-110sqm
2. limited storage space in fridge/freezer, indirectly due to smaller kitchens in most Singapore's newer condos.
3. lack of cooking skills and/or cooking utensils/appliances for FTW families
4. lazy to cook and wash up 2-3 times per day
5. want to avoid supermarket crowds, so don't cook but tabao
6. distrust food deliveries' level of hygiene; dissatisfaction with higher delivery charge of $3.99
7. mental stress/issues, personality (extroverts vs introverts)
8. marital problems (escape downstairs to drink beer)
9. empty nest with grown-up live-in kids busy with WFM, or with married kids and grandkids they cannot visit
10. joblessness
11. tamchiak; sick of homecooked food
It's easier for regular office workers, overseas students, local students to stay home because they are pretty used to sedentary lifestyle and well-accustomed to seat work. Studious students, undergraduates and graduate students generally can sit at their desk to study for hours. Their willpower to hibernate like a hermit is strong. They can stay focused on the job within 4 walls. Workaholics can stay fixated on the screen to finish half a day's work without even stepping out of their cubicle to pee/lunch out.
But in every society, there are free spirits, non-conformists and wanderlusters. They'd never loved sitting at their study desk to cram for school exams for hours and months. That's why you have self-employed/freelancers (real estate agents, insurance agents), deliverymen and taxi-drivers/PHVs sectors. They are born to move around! Public service/office jobs bore them to death. Some seniors are just goalless and idle who do not like to pick up new hobbies and skills from tv to kill time at home.
As long as the Govt does not declare a full-fledged 'lockdown' and continues to permit F&Bs to stay open, you will continue to see loiterers at voiddecks and coffeeshops. I saw 1 Ah Pek sitting alone on the kerb beside a coffee shop. He wasn't tabao-ing or smoking (or maybe he already did). He was just whiling his time away and watching the world go by.
