So sorry that your maid got it, @Sun_2010. Must be a hassle, as she can’t cook for you guys for a fortnight.


Speaking of free ART "loot", I suddenly found this pack of 5 (FIVE!) ART kits in my house. No idea where it came from, but since I found it, it’s mine. Mwahhahaha

Err… ART kits have expiry date anot har? I think I better check.

Did you mentioned u isolated yr helper? At home or outside of yr family home?

First isolated her at home as soon as she tested positive. Then did the supervised test as soon as they opened and requested for external isolation. In about 24 hours , MOH arranged for her to move to isolation facility.

But given that just one day before she had symptoms, she had changed all the bedspreads...

This is ''concerning'' (though I hate this word).

Researchers from the New York State Department of Health found the ability of the vaccine to protect children who got the lowest dose — kids ages 5 to 11 — from catching the virus dropped the most, falling from 68% to just 12%. Those children received an injection containing just 10 milligrams, one-third of the dose given to older children, adolescents and adults.

Meanwhile, the effectiveness in children ages 12 to 17, who got the same 30-milligram dose as adults, showed a smaller decline, dropping from 66% to 51%.

Oh yes, we’re all masks up at home. Can hear DH’s tough breathing thro the masks. It’s tough for him esp he’s usually the stronger man around the house.

Boil liang teh and drink...
Also recently I bought some Luo han guo soft candy from a big Watson store but I forgot which one now...there was a variety of herbal soft candy and they were so effective to prevent a sore throat from happening. I am not ill but everything we eat somehow is quite drying so these soft candies help.

But if you need to ease a real sore throat, try this...very effective for us....I was pleasantly surprised that it worked better than the doctor's lozenges. 老字号 Vicks! Steady...
