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.. 😋

Have they found a vaccine against SARS? 

 

This should give you hope. or not?

（早报讯）昨天（3月7日）公布的新病例当中，包括一名与新加坡基督生命堂感染群有关的26岁新加坡男子，他在隔离结束后才被确诊，其间已到过榜鹅战备军协俱乐部。

根据卫生部文告，这名男子因为与上述感染群有关，曾在2月15日至3月6日之间被隔离在国家传染病中心。

他结束隔离后，曾到过榜鹅战备军协俱乐部。男子是在前天（6日）下午确诊的。

 

Shit,  is getting closer and closer,  first is safra jurong and now is safra ponggol, the tricky part is that he had been quarantined from 15/2 to 6/3 and only tested positive after quarantine, that is like after 20 days WTF .....and all these temperatures screening at Safra looks like wayang wayang only,  there is simply no way to detect and prevent.

Hard to say.  There are many possibilities of a person being infected whether he is quarantined or not.  The person might have been successfully quarantined without a trace of convit-19 in him.  Unfortunately, he could be so happy that he went about his business after being locked up for 14 days and then someone infected him.  He miss out the first infection does not guarantee he will not be infected by another person.  So, we should not discount the safety of being quarantined..

To be fair, the staffs took it seriously eh.

At Toa Payoh branch that I frequent, they always made sure all the information were filled before I press the submit button on my phone.

 

There had been cases where infected person might not develop a fever, and in this case, he didn't know he was infected as he had duly fulfilled his quarantine period.

Let's just be socially responsible that we should rest (or stay home) if we ain't feeling well, and see a doctor as soon as possible.

This would likely be a long "battle", take care everyone!

It is not about the fever or no fever. It is not even about the wayang show of taking temperature of people at Safra. 

 

Why is there a gap between the end of the quarantine period and the test results? Isn't that the purpose of having the quarantine in the first place? To ensure that the potential infected stays at home until they are tested to be free from the virus? 

 

But in this case, the guy came out after his quarantine period ended, and it was a long 20 days too. Who ended his quarantine period? Did he end the quarantine himself without authority? Or did the authority fail to keep him posted of his positive infection results in time to stop him from going out? 

 

There is a serious systematic lapse of procedures here. This type of quarantine, might as well don't have. It serves no purpose at all.

Please bring this matter up to the authority n let them be aware. This is quite a serious matter as it can lead to more cases!

Is quite worrying if this guy kena during his quarantine in the national disease centre.....no use to report as our current team do not have the experience to tackle such a situation and as can be seen our current case of 150 is 3 times more than Taiwan and also much higher than hk, is ridiculous. 

 

Just received text from safra Ponggol that the centre will be closed till further notice. Can't even find any info if the victim visited the gym but there is a high possibility.

Quarantined people can be isolated either at home, at Government Quarantine Facilities, or at a hospital. 

 

I think they are trying to control the situation by doing contact tracing, and then trying to contain those who have come into contact with those infected. It might work for now while the numbers are still relative low, even though it is already past the 100 mark. But when the numbers starts increasing more and more, they won't have sufficient resources to do that anymore, even with the help of the CID or the entire SPF. 

 

But this quarantine mishap is proving that the quarantine procedure is quite flawed.

I think this case is a bit grey area. The ship started its journey here in Singapore. And furthermore, Singapore is indeed listed as its home ports. If don't let it return home, then how?

Beijing denies coronavirus originates in China

 

During the press conference on March 4, Zhao Lijian the spokesman of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that the COVID-19 may have not originated in China.

Lijian criticized the media for calling Coronovirus as Chinavirus, commenting that it is ‘extremely irresponsible’ and that China strongly opposes it. 

Confirmed cases of #COVID19 were first found in China, but its origin is not necessarily in China. We are still tracing the origin. pic.twitter.com/IG4IsCJ0JC

— Spokesperson发言人办公室 (@MFA_China) March 4, 2020

 

He emphasized that Beijing is still tracking down the origin of the coronavirus for it is still undetermined. Lijian pointed out that the WHO has always referred to COVID-19 as a global phenomenon with uncertain origins and the reason for its name to be changed from 2019-nCOV to COVID-19 is to avoid negative repercussions from stigmatizing a geographic area or a population group. Lijian quoted Dr. Zhong Nanshan, the respiratory specialist saying that coronavirus first emerged in China but was not necessarily originated in China. 

He further asserted that there has been no supporting evidence so far for such a statement. Lijian reaffirmed that coordinated efforts are needed to address this global challenge rather than spreading rumors and prejudice.

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.

 

Allow me to make rectification to my earlier post. Fresh garlic naturally possesses powerful  antimicrobial properties due to the content of alicin ( a sulfur compound responsible for the pungent smell ) ( I studied Western Herbalism but not practising ). Thus, consuming garlic can strengthen the immune system but to claim that it can cure the coronavirus infection is misleading. Those patients who show improvement or even recovered because their immune systems have been fortified. This could happen by chance or due to other factors as well. I apologize for not verifying the message from my chat group.

While Milan has not reported any confirmed cases, shelves have been emptied by residents out of fear of the coronavirus spread.

Now that Milan is under lockdown, do you still think that the 60 km distance from Milan to Codogno is far enough for the virus not to spread there? And that was just two weeks ago.

Gym at Safra Punggol closed after user has Covid-19, gym employees on stay-home notice

 

The patient, a 26-year-old Singaporean man identified as Case 138, had visited the EnergyOne gym at Safra Punggol on March 6 and was on its premises from 7.36pm to 9.32pm.

 

What I don't understand is that apparently he was confirmed positive on 6 march afternoon and how come he still can be in Safra in the evening?

This Coronavirus in Singapore is taking too long to recover. New cases are popping up again and again.

 

I feel the government is not bold enough in the fight against this virus. If it drags on longer, more jobs will be lost.

 

Therefore, I took the bold initiative to set up a thinktank to brainstorm ways to eliminate this virus in our country. This thinktank comprises of several people whom I had known for years where we always gather to discuss policies and singapore politics in field of education, to economics to running of GIC and Temasek to elections.

 

We came out with a simple but effective solution. But need bold steps and courage. However, I believe the vast majority will agree base on many people's opinion and voices throughout the net.

 

1-Lock down the country for 1 month. Everyone will be in lock down in their registered address. No schools, no gatherings. Companies will be shut down for 1 month. No one is allowed to leave home.

2- each person in singapore will be given a $300 food ration. The army will distribute these food to every household. These food will be enough to last 1 month.

3- do not worry about housing loans, car loans. These will be voided for the 1 month.

4-doctors and nurses, police, army will be based in their respective work place to keep essential needs to continue functioning.

5- all airports and ports will be closed. MRT, bus will be closed for a month.

 

 

This simple solutuon of isolating everyone will prevent clusters from happening like the safra dinner. If a family develops covid19, only that household will be moved to medical facility in an island like St Johns or Sisters Island, away from main land. All infected shall be held there until they recovered. Those recovered will be transported to another island to be isolated from main land for 5 months. To ensure they are toy free from any virus.

 

Locking down 1 month will only cost us 1 month of GDP which is about $30billion. But its worth it if lifes are saved and coronavirus is eliminated.

Did it come as any surprise that people would still go about their daily activities even when they are sick? Yes, healthy people need not wear masks if the entire society is socially responsible enough to stay at home if they are not feeling well. But in a culture where people still need to go to work and go about with our daily lives even when we are sick, we wear masks to protect ourselves because we do not know who is sick. And in fact, the sick people themselves may not even know that they are infected too. For all that we know, the Jurong SAFRA cluster might have been reduced if some of those infected had worn mask.

Anyone who wants to rely others to protect himself, instead of doing something for his own protection. is really stupid.

I saw this 3 March 2020 update on MFA website : https://www.mfa.gov.sg/countries-regions/j/japan/travel-page

 

SINGAPORE MINISTRY OF HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY

ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO ESCALATING GLOBAL SITUATION

 

"03 MARCH 2020

 

            In view of the surge in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases around the world – in particular in Iran, northern Italy*, Japan and the Republic of Korea – Singaporeans are advised to defer non-essential travel to Iran, northern Italy*, Japan and the Republic of Korea. "

 

I thought by the 3 March 2020, there were multiple countries which has a larger number of infected people than that in Japan already, eg Spain, France, Germany and maybe even the USA. Why wasn't there a travel advisory given for those countries? (The chart below reflects the numbers for today). How do they determine which country to advise against travelling and which not to?

It should not be any specific country anymore, they should discourage all forms of non - essential traveling to Europe,  USA,  Middle East and Asia.

We seems to be always one step behind, only when Safra dinner became a big cluster,  they decide to cancel all form of PA activities for senior and only recently foreigners have to pay for their own hospitalisation and treatment for covid -19, shouldn't this be the case from the beginning,  why should local taxpayer paying their medical bill?

 

The key is controlling foreigners from affected countries coming in,  whether for business or leisure, or trying to take advantage of medical treatment of Covid 19.

Imported ones have to start paying as of 7th March, problem is those, like Indo, who buy a cheap ticket fly in to SG, after treatment they got no money to pay how?

If only can ask them to pay before treatment...... It can also be those rich ones fly in business class and exhausted all our medical resources, afterall they know they can get better medical treatment here.

Singapore must be brave enough to impose temporary visa restriction and arrival quotas on neighbouring countries to ensure that our medical facilities are not taken advantage of and in addition, charged them higher medical fees to cover medical treatment given free to citizens.
