I wonder what is so "essential" in Daiso that u can't find in NTUC?  Tele shop are also allowed to open, how " essential" is that? 

Likewise I don't think all hotels are closed,  is more like up to their own discretion.

 

Fairprice mainly foodstuff, while Daiso offer a wider range of home accessories.

You can hit me very hard on the bicep with your Prada handbag or purse, like a frustrated Korean tai tai.  👧

 

I badly need a workout since all the gyms are closed   💪

 

Oh ... is that the first punch that you threw? Cos it really shows the type of guniang you just touted yourself to be... Can do better? Otherwise whatever gym you went to had been nothing short of a waste of money.

A bit too much.

Old uncle want to eat alone in the void deck also get arrested.

 

Maybe his daughter-in-law at home is very abusive e.g. always yells at him when he is eating. That's why he prefers to eat outdoors. Furthermore he was alone; not disturbing people.

 

Is there really a need to arrest him?

 

 

COVID-19: Man, 71, arrested after he insisted on eating at void deck, refused to leave

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-man-arrested-void-deck-eating-police-refused-leave-12620530

The old man ask for it,  initially he was only ask to go home but he wanted to challenge the police,  that's the problem. Like what I mentioned yesterday,  it is still very vibrant and happening in the neighbourhood, defeat the purpose of stay @ home and expect a full lock down.

 

Some are simply stubborn while others are playful, trying to challenge the law. Just like those still running about during their quarantine period,  the youth who spit and the two that open and drink then put back the bottle, all these must be issued with severe punishment to stop others from doing.

Oh, so the below wasn't a first punch? My bad then ... I guess I really shouldn't have mistook such a limp-wristed jibe to be any kind of punches from a guniang like you ... And don't worry about you being any kind of guy to hit any girls. Limp-wristed guniangs like you cannot possibly count as any type of guy. And if gunaings like you can't take the heat, try not to start the fire; and if you have started the fire, don't fan it.  Simple as ABC.

But as you can see, just the implementation of mask wearing alone has kept their numbers of infected to be less than 380 today since their first reported case on 21 Jan 2020.

Wah... 142 cases today... And it's getting weirder.. One of the cases was tested just before he died the next day... 

 

"The ministry said investigations are ongoing to establish the cause of death of Case 1604, a 32-year-old male Indian national who was a long term pass holder.

 

He had been swabbed at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) for COVID-19 on Apr 7, and was advised to stay at home pending the test result, MOH said.

 

His chest X-ray indicated he did not have pneumonia.

 

"He passed away at his residence on Apr 8, and was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection after his demise. Investigations are ongoing to establish the cause of death," said MOH."

[lonelyglobe]

SINGAPORE - Singapore reported 142 cases of Covid-19 on Wednesday (April 8), a record high, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in its daily update.

Of these, 140 are local cases and two are imported. They bring the total number of cases here to 1,623.

 

Among the local cases, links to existing clusters have been established for 55 cases, of which 40 are linked to clusters at foreign worker dormitories.

 

There are 13 cases that have been linked to other cases. Contact tracing is being done for the remaining 72 cases.

There was also a seventh death linked to the disease. A 32-year-old Indian national who had been swabbed on April 7 and advised to stay home pending test results died on April 8 at his residence. He was confirmed to have Covid-19 after his death. His chest X-ray indicated he did not have pneumonia and investigations are ongoing to establish the cause of death.

 

MOH also said that 29 patients were discharged on Wednesday. To date, a total of 406 cases have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospitals or community isolation facilities.

 

Of the 669 confirmed cases still in hospital, most are stable or improving, with 29 in critical condition in the intensive care unit. Six have died from complications due to Covid-19 infection.

Daiso is same like those value shop and household items shop, not an essential service. Since supermarket also sell some of these items, people still able to get them. These shops no need to stay open. I saw all those selling household items in my place all closed for 1 month.

[Letsrelaxpp]

So daiso should be fined as they have not followed the rules,  cannot allowed them to suka suka open for few hours and then closed, like that every business just open and close defeat the purpose of circuit breaker.

Different cases overseas seem to suggest it attacks multiple organs, not just lungs. And where there’s pre-existing conditions, likely complications and higher risk of mortality.

[Guest Juxtaposed Yourself]

Rona appears to seek out and attack any weak organs in the body, starting with the lungs, and moving on from there. Many of the patients suffering the worst and/or dying have other issues like lungs already weakened from smoking, heart disease, and diabetes.

Daiso.

I don't think the opening would be illegal.

But there some issues related from Competition Law, Fairprice, Giant not only selling food but many items what Daiso sells. This is a violation of competion rules. Fairprice, Giant should close off all "non essential " items to be fair!

Fairprice clearly has an advantage to other shops at the moment and still can make profits where Daiso can't.

Precisely,  I don't understand how come they can be so confident,  very stubborn even after free mask given, especilaly those selling food,  barber,  bus driver etc..should make it compulsory to wear mask and those talk and laugh loudly without mask must be fined or jailed.

Don't blame them. They are just following instructions to "live life normally" and they only heard the part giving people assurance that there won't be a lockdown, especially after they were scolded for being "xiasuay" when they started the first round of hoarding in fear of a potential "lockdown". That's why these 3000 people needs to be "reminded" with written warnings.

How often to repeat the same response? 

 

There is not sufficient supply of masks for everyone, every day in any country in the world to supply everyone at every time for every person to wear a mask. Simple as that! 

 

Safety to hospital and healthcare staff must come in first priority. these people need the mask to upkeep health system and services. 

Look at Indonesia: 24 hospital nurses already infected, some died on Covid19. 

 

Guess why the SG Government is now distribution reusable face masks???

 

A German research just came out and said, the mask should be compulsory for Covid19 carriers, but the problem is the period for not having symptoms but already being infectious is quite long for this virus ( 3 to 14 days). The researchers from Robert Koch Institute said, distancing is more important and set the distancing space at 2m. the virus seems to be spread not only when caughing but while speaking too according this research paper (just out 2 days ago). And to avoid being with infected persons at near distance in a confined room. 

SG Gov should increase the distance for safe distancing. 

 

On the hoarding: Was it required? Wasn't it Kiasu?

You don't need to eat Durian every day. So, if supply of Durian run out, what is the problem, is it life threatening???

These hoarders are silly people, later they throw the food because don't manage to eat and expired. 

 

So far no hoarding of anything had been required! The rice shelves were empty because Kiasu Singaporean bought more stock than usual. 

Fruits and veggie from Malaysia still coming in. No problem so far. 

 

In France they have given warning to people not just to eat canned food and go and buy more fruits and vegetable due to health reasons. The supermarket are throwing plenty of perishable food (fruits, veggie) because people buy canned food mostly.

Why not wearing a mask is not a criminal offence: 

Because you must ascertain the supply of masks for everyone (which Government can't).

And there are people who don't have the resources to buy masks. 

 

Don't confuse the warning for safe distancing and the 3000 people from the article. The warning was not given because the people don't wear masks but because the shops or the patrons did not keep sufficient distance. 

At least the Gov give warning first. What do you think if they come with a 5,000 fine directly. 

Just keep 1.5 m distance in any place, queue, etc. 

 

Many people still are going out with no real excuse. The message is "Stay at home",. This is not the time for strolling through shopping malls.

These type of statements are the ones that riles me up.

Please confirm when you said "distancing is more important", WHAT IS IT MORE IMPORTANT THAN? Are you trying to imply that "distancing is more important" than wearing masks, even after you yourself said "the virus seems to be spread not only when caughing but while speaking too"???

Why not learn to start reading the logic or smart way? 

The topic started about wearing masks. The last sentence is: SG Gov should increase the distance for safe distancing.

Reading this you don't have a clue what the research result was? 

 

For clarification I reposted the part and amended it for these here who have difficulties in understanding simple matters: 

A German research just came out and said, the mask should be compulsory for Covid19 carriers, but the problem is the period for not having symptoms but already being infectious is quite long for this virus ( 3 to 14 days). The researchers from Robert Koch Institute said, distancing is more important than imposing to wear a mask and set the distancing space at 2m. the virus seems to be spread not only when caughing but while speaking too according this research paper (just out 2 days ago). And to avoid being with infected persons at near distance in a confined room. 

SG Gov should increase the distance for safe distancing. 

 

Meaning it is more important to keep safe distance as it will reduce the potential or risk of droplets or virus parts to enter your mouth or nose. The distance to another person of more than 2m is sufficient to keep the virus at bay and not to enter the lungs. 

 

The researchers found evidence for the virus not only to be spread by coughing but even during an infected person just speaking, meaning an infected person speaking emits Covid19 particles too and these may enter the mouth and lungs. (This is not a joke ok). 

 

(Maybe Gov should disallow speaking from now onwards?)

Sometimes I get this feeling the Ministers read Blowing Wind.

Haven't we been talking about public transport and the people squeeze so man times... 

 

CNA: 

COVID-19: Additional safe distancing measures implemented on public transport

09 Apr 2020 11:00AM

SINGAPORE: Additional safe distancing measures will be implemented on public transport networks as Singapore steps up efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.

This comes after the elevated safe distancing measures set by the multi-ministry task force were implemented on Tuesday (Apr 7), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a news release on Thursday.

 

Safe distancing stickers will be progressively rolled out on all trains, train stations, buses, bus stops and bus interchanges to mark out spaces and seats that should be avoided by commuters.

LTA is also working with Public Transport Operators to progressively deploy Transport Ambassadors, who will support the implementation of safe distancing measures in public transport networks.

 

These ambassadors will work with LTA enforcement officers and bus captains to ensure that commuters comply with the measures, such as limiting the number of commuters who can enter train stations and buses.

Thermal scanners will be deployed at selected MRT stations to screen commuters before they enter the stations. 

"Commuters who have been picked up by the scanners as having a fever will not be allowed to enter the station and be asked to seek medical attention at the nearest clinic(s) immediately," said LTA. 

"For a start, these thermal scanners have been deployed at Serangoon and Tiong Bahru MRT stations."

The authority has also reminded the public to be socially responsible during the circuit breaker period and to avoid unnecessary commutes.

“Those who need to travel for essential purposes should put on a reusable face mask when travelling in the public transport network, and refrain from crowding,” LTA added.

“They should also follow the instructions given by Transport Ambassadors and LTA’s enforcement officers so that we can preserve the elevated measures during this challenging period.”

The circuit breaker period started on Tuesday and is set to last until May 4. During this period, members of the public have been advised to stay home and avoid going out except for essential trips. 

During this period, schools and workplaces have been ordered to shut down, except those deemed to be providing essential services.

Many people still are going out with no real excuse. The message is "Stay at home",. This is not the time for strolling through shopping malls. 

I tot our minister said everything (mask, food, water, fighter jet, money ...except FT) is enough???
