Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

[.010675zeit]

Looking at the swelling TTSH cluster and ICA and Edgefield Sec clusters makes me boil. How did that happen?! They just want more, more, more please more come in quickly before we shut the doors? One more ticket sold and one more room occupied also good hor, just one more...nevermind the double mutants. Don't be scared. We have the 40,000 beds on standby. Cannot discriminate, Singaporeans. We know who's the mastermind behind this. :oops: :mad: :rant:

I don't know if banning visitors from snacking/ la kopi alongside their loved ones in the ward would lower the risk.

Even if they don't remove their mask to consume food in the wards or grab a coffee downstairs, the virus would still stick to their bodies/belongings when they get home. Remember they would have sat on the chair in the ward, used the ward / lobby bathroom, touched lift buttons & hospital handrails, bought something from vending machine, during visitation.

You can't ban nurses from crossing to opposite malls, supermarkets and foodcourts to grab a bite on the way home via MRT after their shift. You also can't ban visitors from bringing outside food/beverages into the hospitals for their loved ones to eat. (You need to remove your mask to blow the nourishing soup cool before feeding your Ah Gong Ah Ma!)

But perhaps they can advise students/staff working nearby not to patronise the hospital foodcourt & cafes.

Food deliverymen to/fro hospitals can be infected too/bring in the virus. https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20210128edi045/

Now even a nearby NNI doctor has been infected. Wondering about those LKC medical students now and a couple of SHN hotels in Novena...

:faint:

If you go into NCID, do you dare to take off your mask? If not, why you dare to do it in TTSH wards? Because you assume “it’s clean”? Then that’s complacency.

Wearing masks has been proven to be effective in preventing the transmission of Covid virus.

What is the implication of growing covid cluster? Havent they ring fenced and cast a wider net to test potentially infected pple?

[MrsKiasu]

It is not one or 2 days moving around I guess. Still consider ourselves lucky ba these clusters detected ‘early’.

[sharonkhoo]

I think they have cast a very wide net - including offering free tests to people who were merely in the same places as those during their infectious period (not just family, colleagues, etc), hence the long queues over the weekend. I hope, but don’t know, that the increase in cases is the result of this extended testing, and that all cases will be caught this way. We will know soon - in a few days, if the cluster stops growing, then they will have contained the spread. If not…

[mindscape]

The latest one I’ve known is that C-virus is a seasonal flu disease that is rampant from December to April. I saw it in one of the vids, doctors are the one discussing in that vid.

Shops or pple breaching the rules shld be heavily punished else all continue to be complacent
