Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

Our 3rd day dining outside. So far the experience has been positive, not like some of the negative reporting on social media leh.


On Fri, I booked a table for 5 at HDL. First time we saw no one sitting at popcorn/ice-cream corner! Lol. HDL did a good job in maintaining social distancing and they also quickly sanitize the tables and chairs after each group left. However, they forgot to sanitize those tissue boxes patrons used before and it was scary to see hot tea flask touching everyone’s cups. Hubby said 百密必有一疏. On the whole, still positive, it gave us confidence to dine out the following day.

2nd day of phase 2, we had the long awaited breakfast cum lim kopi session at our usual Foodcourt. Not crowded. But I realize the poor auntie and uncle cleaners who came over to collect cups and plates from us weren’t wearing face shield (only face masks) and we weren’t wearing face masks. So the auntie/uncle cleaners are quite vulnerable if we were to cough/sneeze at them!

Anyway, can’t stand those Angmo not wearing face mask as well as not adhering to social distancing while waiting to enter Holland V restaurants. Forced to shut down the restaurants is one thing, how about those who flout the rules? How many of them are fined that night?

So heart pain to read about one company having to throw away 250,000 imported eggs! Why not have 1-for-1 sale to clear them off?

N&N claims that the company was pushed to produce more eggs during early CB days but as egg demand dropped, the company had no choice but was forced to slaughter 1/6 of their hens, which were then laying 80,000 eggs per day.

Really poor planning on the part of our bureaucrats. Very “chek ark” to kill hens and dump eggs.

Unbelievable to throw away the eggs.
There was a time I complained that no eggs in the supermarket, the price of eggs went up etc.
I don't think the prices of eggs came down despite extra.
Earlier I read that we are importing eggs from Poland?

Yup, first batch of Poland eggs arrived on 2nd June.

Think I saw at NTUC, lots of Ukraine white shell eggs but nobody touched them. Think also sooner or later need to dump!!

Panic buying is a once in a lifetime thing, not as if we suddenly need to eat 10 eggs a day. Don’t import for the sake of importing. Logically, we should have more diversity for our food sources but then, a lot of things can’t be determined by logic alone.. like eating habits can’t change overnight. Just like how some dislike the taste of Australian or Indonesian pork.

Eggs need to travel so far to reach SG, pricing wise also not cheap. Need sit train probably to Rotterdam, from then sit ship to reach SG? Dump very wasted! Donate lor.

Guess companies made losses liao, by importing the eggs from exotic sources.

Yes, I bought a few boxes. Earlier that day, I saw masks (another brand but no box!) going for $15.95 at another Value shop!

I just took one piece of mask to inspect, the
thickness is there. Ear loops elastic band quite stretchable and comfy enough. Quite standard.

These past few days when I dine out, I noticed the social distancing rules are either badly communicated OR restaurants and Foodcourts have great discretion to exercise their own standards.

For example, in HDL, customer to customer (from nearby tables), are spaced 1m apart. But at Foodcourt, table to table 1m apart. So when two patrons sit back to back, I am very sure there’s no social distancing at all.

How long do we usual take a meal at Foodcourt? I estimate makan 20 mins then another 10 min maybe finish up our coke/kopi/Teh so that’s a total of 30mins. So it’s 30mins in an aircon enclosed space, without masks without proper social distancing

I urge those who eat out, please exercise your own due diligence. Be ”醒目”
