Can I ask for recommendations for cheaper 3-ply surgical masks? I see Watson’s and major supermarkets selling from $25 onwards (50) but qoo can be selling at half the price. Not sure if any retailers are selling cheaper than watsons or are there any reliable qoo seller/surgical mask brand? Planning to buy quite a lot as I hv 4 sch going kids wearing 1 per day.

I found this webpage that gives details about different masks and certifications (US, Europe, China). Have a look and decide which level of protection you prefer, and look for masks with that certification. The cheap ones may not have certification!

On the other hand, a lot of advice now is that any mask will do, especially if everyone else is also masked. There's no need for most people to use a high-protection mask. -

On 21st April, 20 community cases - announced extension of CB with a large hidden reservoir!
On 12 June, 18 community cases - announced we are ready to go into phase 2! :scratchhead:
Looking forward to the start of phase 2. Many countries already open up. If we don’t open up, more shops will go bust. But I suppose we will see other challenges with more FWs ready to return back to work and they will start to take buses to Mustafa. DH fears that we may see daily cases surge past 30 after the reopening of phase 2. -
I don’t understand why the linked closed contacts of the existing cases are considered “community cases”. It’s obvious they caught it from that family member or housemate at home, not from going out to shop/commute & it spread to them from the community “out there”.
So who qualifies as a “non-community” case? Medical workers or what? -
How time flies, we hv been ‘living with coronavirus’ for half a year. I am starting to get immune with the daily report of new cases.
I still read the news esp on some countries eager to open up because of economy. I was reminded of a doctor’s (from tv) advice: health and economy are two sides of a scale. If we focus much on health, the economy suffers, vice versa. -

I believe that MOH uses \"community\" to mean \"outside FW dorms\", not that they were outside their homes.

In Singapore, I would start the count only in March, or earliest in Feb? So only about 4 mths. I'll be glad to see some loosening up!

Yes, it's a balancing act. In societies without much aid from government etc, the poor have a choice of either risking the virus or watching their kids go hungry. Not much of a choice. -
DS and I went to visit my mum Ytd afternoon. It was tough to keep in touch with her as she doesn’t turn on her HP most of the time. Call her landline also not always at home (she insists on doing the groceries for my brother & SIL). Or she is busy cooking/looking after my niece so can’t answer.
So nice to be able to chat with her F2F. And I finally got to meet my newest 3-month old baby niece (born during this season). My mum has aged visibly but happy to see us after so long.
