Today's ad grew in size to about a quarter page; when I first saw it on Sat, it was a bit smaller , maybe about 17cm x 12cm. why need to run the ad so many days? How much does it cost per day? How many newspapers? How much do they give out a year? wouldn't the ad cost be better used to give the ang pao through other means?

Some may ask if I am going to be that mask worker again. I am fine with that (sacarstic) question, key is people are accepting the reality. Learn and move on to be better equipped. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/coronavirus-singapore-looking-for-new-sources-of-masks-looking-at-manufacturing-them You might as well accumulate your own stockpile of mask at home so that when another virus come you have ready stock and self sufficient. Otherwise hoarders out there will be ready to pounce whenever a virus appears out of nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in private sector, I mentioned security need to be tightened. The security chief then asked me when am I going to start my patrol duties (I was in nursing). I would say the security chief was being sarcastic though a neutral party might think it's a legit reply. Something like that. What's there to be frustrated about? Is either a Yes or a No....

Watwheels Supersonic February 19, 2020 Share February 19, 2020 Smallpox, Measles and Chickenpox used to be very infectious viruses and caused widespread panic as well. As soon as the vaccines are developed and everyone gets a shot of it for each disease, nobody now pays attention to them anymore. Why are ppl still into surgical mask, a thin piece of disposable designed for hygiene application for healthcare workers? It's not even clinically tested against viruses. "Some kinda protection is better than none" mentality is exactly that false sense of security ppl have. Hoarding mask is helping no one. The behaviour of any virus is the same. It invades a healthy cell in our body and multiply and spreads itself. Antiviral vaccine has the potential to slow this behaviour, stifle the virus multiplication such that our body's immune system is able to fight it off. It's more sustainable than any unproven mask out there. You guys can hoard as much mask as you like. I will just give you the look and roll my eyes. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only on the 2nd occasion was warded for DENGUE. The diagnosis was wrong? Or she really so (un)lucky kenna both dengue and covid19 at same time. Then from there took 3days (while she continued to be in general ward) before diagnosed with covid19. Yah but the one who stayed in the same room with her quite sway, hope she is ok.

Honestly, is it that hard to setup a mask factory or incentivise some suppliers to modify their factory line to make mask in one corner of their factory? It is not a rocket science product. $30k can buy a mask manufacturing machine liao, of course that is probably not a high end equipment. Taobao have .

Even China has so many mask factory, yet they are facing shortage now, imagine what if they do not have their mask factory? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieger 5th Gear February 19, 2020 Share February 19, 2020 Dear all, allow me to share something. Anti bacteria is not as effective as Antiseptic if you are looking to destroy/kill most virus. In short, you must use antiseptic solution first before you use anti bac wipes or cleaners. If you have antibac wipes, pour a small/just the bottle cap/ cup of antiseptic solution into the wipes packet and allow a soak through. In this way it will not be too harsh on your skin and at same time achieve both purposes. Also, you can dilute antiseptic solution with water into a spray bottle to use as daily spray on toilet bowls and wash basin. 10 ml antiseptic to 600ml of water. Need not spend too much on sanitizers, as most of them are for anti bac purpose. If you are in office, bring along a piece of soap( no need for anti bacteria) . It works as well. Lastly, get more sun if possible. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The face mask most of you have is useless against this virus unless you use the FFP or surgical N95 complete with shield. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
