Some of the advantages of using Telegram are :
1. Can Set up a Voting in the Chat Group
2. Can Control the time interval for each member when sending messages...that is each member can send out a new message only after X min after his/her previous message.
3. When a member is kicked out of the Chat Group, he/she cannot read any previous messages in the Chat.[/quote]

My family used Telegram to communicate with one another when we were overseas as we bought foreign prepaid SIM cards. Telegram doesn't need your SG no.

That's how the http://www.reuters.com/article/us-hongkong-telegram-exclusive-idUSKCN1VK2NI!

Since my boardgames and eating meetup group friends are using telegrams and therefore I just follow them and learn how to use.[/quote]

Aren't u on WeChat too? That's another universe that only the PRCs and new immigrants will use. The Taiwanese youth will use LINE.

Yes, I am using WeChat as well because my youngest brother is working in Mainland China for a few years. Moreover, I have joined a Chinese book club in Singapore where more than 90% of its members are from the Mainland China. We are using Wechat for co-ordination.

I have used LINE before but dropped it because most of my friends are not using LINE.

Foc but those looking for MC will not get fr QTCs. It’s just my answer for reliable testing. At least I don’t hv to worry abt ART OOS.

Just wondering why cannot do via videocall?

All the people who go to these QTCs are +ve while the staff stationed there are not. Isnt this a hotbed for potential transmission?

The QTCs are for the mild to no symptoms people who tested themselves positive at home, so going there to do the test in a guided way is just to confirm and be updated in the status of infection for:
1. a proper health record to determine the next booster shot date since natural immunity would have kicked in.
2. notify close contacts to monitor themselves or maybe they would be served HRW?

Indeed it is good to stay away from the place if not infected, just like the clinics.

Absolutely agree. Many are becoming too care-less. Ppl are less conscious abt social distancing & crowds are everywhere.

Omicron is indeed highly infectious. My SIL returned with niece & grand-nephew. Met them at their home & think that was how I got my sore throat & sniffles tho ART negative last 4 days. Am I also an ARTist now? 🤣 Will not visit MIL this week to keep her safe.

Yes yes! We are all ARTists now... I need more ART kits but because the person did not officially report the case, I am not served HRW and no free ART kits..
