      zac's mum\" post_id=\"1976563\" time=\"1589785243\" user_id=\"53606:[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1976563 time=1589785243 user_id=53606]Looking at the situation now, seems to be improving. Mentally prepared for schools to reopen as planned.

      Anyone knows where to buy good quality kids masks (age 9 and above)? Reusable breathable cloth mask type. Cos if disposable ones can just use adult size & twist the ear loops.

      I am trying to find out where to buy the local brand N95 Air+ masks. They do not have an online store. If anyone knows which Watson’s physical store has it, please let me know. I need to figure out which size to buy cos online don’t have measurements!
      I bought my Air+ from Watsons from haze last year. I have been to Watsons last week but did not see Air+ only surgical masks. In case you still wanna buy, I fit M. Pri sch petite boys should fit S.[/quote]
      Thank you!

      I can’t find this Air+ brand online, thru all 4 of their supposed stockists (Watson’s, Guardian, Unity and Lazada).

      On Lazada, I see plenty of similar masks from China (Eg Xiaomi KN95). Anyone tried them before? I’ve seen adult males wearing them (huge size). But do they have suitable size for 9 year olds?

              wow, this is going to be new norm..all wearing mask. Kiddos haven't been wearing mask/for more than 1 hour, need to slowly adapt when school reopen.

                Numbers weave a story. Please exercise due diligence before picking and choosing. You cant just look at one parameter without the context.
                Please also compare the testing per million - given it's populations size, we have a high number of testing per million. Active testing is being done - mild and asymptomatic ones are being picked up hence a greater number of positives. The migrant workers living in dorms form a very high portion of those tested positive , as they are being tested extensively.

                Compare deaths per million - out of the 5026 per million we only have a fatality rate of less than 0.08% , it is around 6% for the world right now .
                Compare those in ICU , for the 28K+ positive, 18K+ active cases , but right now we have only 12 in ICU . again 0.06% vs the 2% worldwide.
                That should give you a better picture, that probably the testing in other countries is lacking so the positive cases are under represented. It is not like we have exceptional immune system compared to people in other countries.

                https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/three-day-daily-tests-per-thousand-since-1-per-mil-confirmed-cases
                https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ -- gives a lot more columns which makes comparison a little more reasonable.

                        I am sorry to hear that there will be no Hari Raya visits allowed during CB period. But I think it is a good move.


                        Since the authorities have decided to stop all visits for Hari Raya Puasa, then please enforce to ensure what is decided is being carried out. Don’t just say say and no action !!
