I think there was also a Japanese who got it after visiting Batam, but the Indons denied. Imagine our gateway to Batam at Harbourfront-Vivocity, how many people will come into contact with an infected person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any born and bred local Singaporeans would try returning. The only reason why I would think any Singaporeans would rather stay in China now is because they are naturalized Singaporeans from China who would rather stay with their family in China right now, instead of coming back. As expected, our gift of Singaporean citizenship with all the citizenship privileges will never outweigh their own family importance. Citizenship is just good for economic purposes to them. Singapore will never be their home. I'd bet my last dollar on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a price to pay for individual and country if they really want to chase after RMB, from the few most "jialat" countries, we know who they are. As for individual, some may not have a choice as China is pushing to restart production, if they don't listen, they can get fired and then when they came back, they may not be able to find another job or suffer a huge pay cut due to age and competition.

I quote Prof Fisher NUH Infectious Disease Expert on 29 Feb 2020 Straits Times https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/community-involvement-key-in-containing-coronavirus-spread-infectious-diseases-expert "China is still ramping up its capacity to deal with the virus because they "don't believe its going away anytime soon", including building new isolation rooms and acquiring more equipment. " "I believe we were lucky to have a 'test run' over the last month with imported and locally transmitted cases together with a few transmission chains. "This should be seen as the lead time to what could become massive transmission in the coming weeks and months," he wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting to see what Trump had to say when the announcement came that he will be revealing his plans to battle the Covid-19 part week. I almost fell off the chair when his "plans" was to announce that the Vice President, Mike Pence, will be heading the committee. If that taiji move is the best that he can do as a President of the US in the face of the oncoming pandemic, I think the world is going to be in deep shit soon..

Dart Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 A message through my Whatsapp reads a natural remedy to counter the coronavirus: Place 8 freshly chopped garlic cloves in a bowl. Add 7 cups of water into it and bring it to a boil. Consume the water together with the garlic. Though I'm not able to confirm its effectiveness, there's nothing for an infected person to lose for trying it. The message continues that many patients have seen improvement and some have even made a full recovery. Do share this message with others. For what you may know, it could save lives.

Actually, during the SARS period, there were also some remedies similar to that being mentioned and published in the newspapers. I recall it was started off by a monk who said he dreamt of it. I won't say it helped with anything, but surprisingly, the SARS pretty much went away all by itself soon after that. If history is to repeat itself step by step, now that such a "remedy" has been propagated, I wonder if the same will happen this time and the virus may go away by itself soon, maybe at least for us here in this part if the region.. Just wondering... or maybe just wishful thinking.. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyglobe Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately nope, sars went away as they are more deadly and once it kills the person infected, it also kill their chance of infecting others but Covid is like normal flu, not so deadly but very contagious and spread quickly.....also difficult to detect with so many "no symptoms" cases and the virus keep transforming. First wave of the infection start from Asia, spread to the rest of the world and it will come back to asia.

Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 This is very interesting... It explains why South Korea found so many infected people of almost 6800 people in their own country. They have already done a widespread testing of 140,000 people! It makes me wonder how many undetected infected people will we find here in Singapore if we do that same number of tests here. https://www.businessinsider.sg/south-korea-coronavirus-testing-death-rate-2020-3 South Korea has tested 140,000 people for the coronavirus. That could explain why its death rate is just 0.6% — far lower than in China or the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Interesting study... https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/485144-coronavirus-fatality-rates-vary-dramatically Here are the fatality rates of coronavirus for every age bracket — and they vary widely The research shows patients older than the age of 80 had a 14.9 percent chance of dying after being infected, while those in their 70s were found to have an 8 percent chance of death. Patients in their 50s were about three times more likely to die than patients in their 40s, at a rate of 1.3 percent. Patients ages 10 to 19 were as likely to die as patients in their 30s, at just 0.2 percent. The study did not report any deaths in children younger than 10, who represented less than 1 percent of patients. The study collected data from confirmed patients through Feb. 11 and is one of the largest such samples in a study of its kind. The risk of dying dramatically increased among patients in their 70s and 80s as many in this age group are more likely to have preexisting health conditions. Coronavirus patients with heart disease had a 10 percent mortality rate, while those with diabetes had around a 7 percent mortality rate. Men were also found to have a 2.8 percent fatality rate, versus 1.7 percent for women, according to the study. The overall fatality rate in China was 2.3 percent.
