Social distancing inside train is quite difficult,  but the least we can do is to avoid talking or wearing a mask if you want to talk. 

yes,  very difficult but what they should have done is to have different working hours for different govt workplace,  why must all start at 9am and finish at 6 pm? Some can start at 7, 8, 9 or even 10am and finish work accordingly. So instead of say 100k at the same time,  we can disperse the crowd to like 25k at one time.

Everfresh Agriculture managing director G Balamurugan said the shortage would affect at least 80 per cent of Malaysians.

 

“There is going to be some serious shortage and this is going to happen in about two or three months,” he predicted.

Precisely. Why don't control crowds on public transport. Didn't space out the seats. They choose what they like. In actual fact, why no lock down in Singapore? Such a small country yet high number of cases. Be wise on your votes.

Why not start growing vegetables in ubin and tekong or even set up chicken farm,  don't need OBS, don't even have basic need, don't even need to talk about the rest. Time to reduce our dependency on others just like we invested in recycle water.

Yes social distancing in public transport is critical. The relevant authority should address this immediately. Status quo is not an option.

 

Social distancing in eatery should be more concerned between strangers. Hence distance between tables is more critical than seats.

The simple reason is, they have no solution for this, otherwise it would have been at the forefront. They will subsequently follow up with expert advise saying they have been harping for Sporeans to do it for weeks, but we didn’t.

And can you imagine if we have 6.9m people? not even ubin tekong will suffice.

 

And then taxis and phvs how? can only ferry one person seated diagonally across. Buses they should roll out more frequently and double decked ones to reduce crowding, then again we don’t have enough drivers and SG core workers, like SQ all went for cheap foreign labour.

SIA under Temasek. Ho Ching around, SIA definitely will be saved. I am not amazed.
 

I don't know why Singaporeans are so concern about saving SIA?!

>60% of SIA & Silkair Pilots are non-Singaporeans. >70% of Cabin Crew are also non Singapore Citizens. Imagine, the entire national carrier are non locals! Over the last 40 years, Singapore has been recuiting foreign pilots. SIA has been crazily recruiting foreign Cadet Pilots (CP)(free sponsorship scheme) all the while and those poor Singaporeans have limited chance. SIA has been quietly doing recruiting CP from India, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singaporeans are so ignorant. 

Cabin crew are the same too! Many sweet young Singaporeans got chopped. For the past 15 years, SIA took in lots of Mainlander Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, Hong Indonesian Chinese, Taiwanese and Hong Kees as cabin crew. I met lots of Shanghainese and Nanjingnese cabin crew at one time and till today, the situation never improve. Lots of Singaporeans hoping to get into SIA is so naive and they thought they have second chance after failing first round, 

Alot of people did not know that the recruitment team for pilots (Capt, FO, SO and CP) and cabin crew comprising mostly non-Singaporeans. Believe me or not, even those Singaporeans in the recruitment are ex-Malaysians.
 
To sum up everything, SIA should be folded. For all these years, the glamour jobs in SIA went to the foreign instead of locals. Commoners like us why should we save SIA when it does not truly belong to Singapore?

 

Can you give us any data and proof for your following statements you made earlier: 

1) >60% of SIA & Silkair Pilots are non-Singaporeans.

2) >70% of Cabin Crew are also non Singapore Citizens.

3) Many young Singaporeans got chopped [retrenched*] from SQ.

4) The recruitment team for pilots (Capt, FO, SO and CP) and cabin crew comprising mostly non-Singaporeans.

5) the glamour jobs in SIA went to the foreign[*ers] instead of locals.

 

Please give us proof for your statements to be true! 

 

Otherwise, if you can't present any proof, we can only assume what you wrote are just fake slogans with no truth in them.  

Believing something and knowing something are different things. 

 

We are waiting for your proof....

Fine or jail for not observing at least 1-metre social distancing in public

 

SINGAPORE — Those who intentionally sit on a seat or stand in a queue less than one metre away from another person in public venues can be fined up to $10,000 or jailed a maximum of six months, or both.

 

Such penalties also apply to those who intentionally sit on a fixed seat that is demarcated as not to be occupied in public venues, as well as those who take part in events held anywhere here with more than 10 participants. These and other social distancing regulations, along with penalties, were included in one of several updates made by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to the Infectious Diseases Act.

 

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/covid-19-fine-or-jail-for-not-observing-1-metre-social-distancing-in-public-174032204.html

 

Laws are now implemented for fearmongering ! ! !

 

Is there anyone controlling these laws? 

Will the police really come over and arrest you, when you stand less than 1m away from someone at the queue? 

 

Wouldn't it be better to talk in all national languages and explain why keeping distance is important at the moment. 

 

And what can I do if other people move near to me? How will the police know who is the culprit???

 

And please take a look at the corresponding picture they placed next to the article at Straits Times today? the three guys sit very close at one single table. I can only laugh. How do you explain the rule, if you can't even put up a proper photo in the newspaper 

 

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/coronavirus-safe-distancing-rules-kick-in-failure-to-sit-or-queue-1m-apart-from-others

 

Is this social distancing????????????? 

 

 

I was just at a mall: 

At the mall was only entrance open, some sleepy security staff was counting the people entering, actually to my surprise the mall was still very crowded. Nobody was measuring temperature or anything. 

At Fairprice, despite having lines on the floor at the cashiers, people were standing close by next to each other in queues. People at the shelves all very close, some few only considering to wait for one to take an item and then move away but most just heading next to you and taking what they need but most of them just came very near next to you. I had to remind again a woman at the vegetable shelves not to touch all broccoli but just to take one. 

The rule doesn't work for escalators, the typical 50s woman with another woman in heir age wanted to take the step behind me at the escalator , when I told her to wait first for the next "step" to roll out and leave a gap, she looked at me if I m from the moon. I just called out " distance". Another younger woman was squeezing through the escalator like at the MRT to walk up faster, maybe at the moment you shouldn't do this. Yes, she came closer than 1m. 

There had been plenty of shops at the mall with no marking on the floor and people standing in front of the food display the usual style people here stand in front of the arriving bus at busstops and waiting for the door to open. 

And inside the elevators? 

 

The biggest issue of public transport is still not covered with any measures. 

 

Let's go back to the jail term and penalty for standing closer than 1m???  Can it be enforced? Hm, got my doubts. 

 

 

[lonelyglobe]

I wouldn't doubt it,  there is nothing that can stop them if they want to do something or don't do something....

 

Is your responsibility to keep 1 m from the person in front but if the person behind come close to u that is his fault though u can remind him.... The 1m only apply to stranger, for friends and families, they still can sit together.

 

Again it just show sporean won't listen unless a fine or jail is imposed just like the new traveling rules involving full medical cost. 

 

It will be interesting to see who will be the first to kena charge as they have to catch a few guinea pig to show the rest they mean business.

SingPost say 3 employees infected with COVID-19 did not have contact with public

 

The individuals linked to the SingPost cluster are a 76-year-old Singaporean woman with travel history to Malaysia, a 29-year-old Malaysian man who is a Singapore work pass holder and a 47-year old male Singapore permanent resident......

Sure the public transport can control the crowd:

 

a) for busses: bus driver closes front door if more than XYZ people, not more than 10 / 15 standing. Remind them to stand and sit apart.

b) for MRT: control people going into the MRT, if train full need to wait for next train. Seat inbetween leave empty requirement. Maybe need to get in some gutters to control people flow.

 

The problem for MRT: You need a lot of manpower to control the flow.

MRT needs to do early closure at the moment for replacement of spare parts, signalling (ironic), controlling corona spead not first priority...

 

Maybe some soldiers can help MRT to do flow control. I don't think MRT can employ sufficient staff for people and flow control.

 

But be aware , such measures will be an annoyance and needs commuters to understand,  be more patient and longer traveling time.

What's the point of having any quick 3-hour diagnosis test invented by some private companies, or even some 5 minute quick diagnosis tests invented by A*STAR, when even right now, people with Covid-19 can still be sent home after visits to the clinics with the wrong diagnosis.

 

Why are people still trying to rely on contact tracing to find those infected, when the tests kits should have been given out to more clinics to identify the infected when they visit the clinics itself? Have we been praised for our "Gold standard" contact tracing so much, that we are trying to put up a bigger show of doing it well? I'm only glad these two infected police officers actually took the trouble to revisit  clinics for a second opinion when they continued to feel unwell. But it's just too bad several days passed before they sought second opinion. 

 

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/two-police-officers-test-positive-for-covid-19-12586260

 

Case 709 visited a clinic on Mar 23 due to a fever and was given medical leave. He rested at home on Mar 24 and reported for training at his unit the next day, but left for home when he started to feel unwell again in the afternoon, said SPF in a statement. 

 

He went to a polyclinic on Mar 26 and was subsequently confirmed to be infected. He is warded at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases

 

. 

Case 731 sought treatment at a clinic on Mar 21 after feeling feverish. He was given medical leave until Mar 24, but when the day came and he was still unwell, he went to another clinic and was given three days' medical leave. 

 

When his fever did not subside on Mar 26, he went to Changi General Hospital, where he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and warded. 

 

The officer last reported for work on Mar 20.

Do you guys think that some of those hand sanitizers that they put in public areas for public use is fake or really heavily diluted? There doesn't seems to be enough handrub alcohols or hand sanitizers to go around in the first place. And sometimes when you smell or feel the hand sanizitiers or handrub alcohol, it's almost just plain old water.

Sanitizers are not expensive.  You can find them everywhere in Singapore. Big one, small ones, various sizes, got squirt type, spray type, ooz type.  Go buy one and put in your handbag.  I do and some smell like rose.   I don't like to share with public or use those already touched by others in public area.

I bring my own around. But there are some that are placed besides the lifts so that you can sterilize your hands after you touch the lift buttons. It's convenient, but may not be authentic.

Maybe for a start every cabin should be isolated as well, block off the connecting links.

SINGAPORE - The passport of a Singaporean man has been cancelled for flouting stay-home notice rules, in the first such action taken by authorities against a citizen.

 

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority on Sunday (March 29) said that Mr Goh Illya Victor, 53, travelled from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia, on March 3.

About two weeks later, on March 19, he returned to Singapore via Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and was served with the notice upon entry.

But he went back to Indonesia that same day, despite the stay-home notice and warnings from ICA officers that he would breach the notice and could face penalties.

Those under the notice are not allowed to leave their homes for 14 days, or they can face a fine of up to $10,000, be jailed for up to six months, or both.

Last Tuesday, he returned to Singapore through the Singapore Cruise Centre and was issued a second notice.

 

The ICA said Mr Goh displayed "irresponsible conduct" for not complying with the first stay-home notice and then returning to Singapore last Tuesday.

 

"In view of the wilful breach, ICA has cancelled his passport and referred the case to the Ministry of Health for investigation," the ICA said in a statement.

This means that Mr Goh, without a valid passport, cannot leave the country. He remains a Singapore citizen.

[Guest Guest Q.]

Why are we still eating out during this pandemic? Even with social distancing, there is no guarantee that the person siting 1 m away from you is not infected. There is also no guarantee that you are not infected and you spread the infection to some else. There has been reports of people spreading the disease without showing symptoms. 

 

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/14/health/coronavirus-asymptomatic-spread/index.html

 

The government should just shut down all malls and eateries and implement social distancing on public transport. The staggered working hour are kind of pointless since the trains are still crowded when I go to work at 10am. A non-crowded train is defined as one that carries only 100 people or less at any given point in time.

It is clearly and unfortunately Case 109. But why is Case 109 put into the same ward as case 126? While we are all told to be doing social distancing even when we were not unwell, why did SGH put one person who is clearly unwell in the same ward as Case 126? And why is there a difference in the two CNA reports, in which one says that he was immediately isolated, and another saying that he shared the same ward with Case 126.

We should not be so cowardly as to ignore or to hide glaring discrepancies which seems to indicate something seriously wrong.

Ms Chung reminded Singaporeans to be "socially responsible", and said: "Our dad did not travel to affected countries or clusters. 

 

"How he was infected, is still a mystery to my family. Let us remember Daddy Chung by being socially responsible. 

 

"Another loss due to socially irresponsible behaviour can be avoided! Let us do our part!"

Basically what some people have told others who have got Covid, and what some people want to do to those who got the virus:

Looking at the recent numbers from the past few days, I wonder what will happen when Singapore opens our doors to the rest of the world again, especially to countries like India and China who still think they have the situation under control.

Look at the numbers of cases and the land area of singapore, are we losing the battle against covid19?

Yeah .. felt that way since March 21 ... 

 

 

Let's face reality: if they are failing so miserably with over 850 people infected, and more and more infected with indeterminable causes, contact tracing is a lost cause already. We are merely just going through the motion of doing contact tracing because we were praised that it was "GOLD STANDARD".

 

By now, we should do what the South Koreans did, that is conduct mass diagnosis, so that we can try to stem further spread of the virus by identifying all those who asymptomatic but infected, and those infected with mild symptoms but chose to ignore the mild symptoms. That was how the South Koreans manage to keep their numbers in check, even though the initial spike in their numbers was nothing short of horrifying. Contact tracing only worked initially to buy us some time. Time which we wasted by not developing or getting more test kits for ourselves, just like the masks.

令人担心的是，本地感染源尚未查明的新病例（local unlinked cases）也随着疫情快速增加。不信你看下图：
 

 

 

所谓“无关联病例”，世界卫生组织（WHO）并没有给出清晰的定义。我们根据新加坡卫生部给出的数据推测，“无关联病例”指的是病患最近既没有出国到受影响国家，也没有和本地其他确诊病例有已知的密切接触。
