Can't see the image.

The key thing about SARs was that it was highly lethal. Even young healthy adults died.  So the demographics of the deaths will be rather telling if it's going to be a shit storm or minor pandemic that we'll just get used to after some time.

The time has come, and this is a very clear message from our MOH. No more guessing or hearsay.

From pandemic preparedness and response point of view, I would say the timing is just right, given that there are now more details and evidences to warrant a travel advisory as well as setting up of ministerial task force.

Singapore to form Wuhan virus ministerial task force, imported case 'inevitable': Gan Kim Yong

SINGAPORE: Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said on Wednesday (Jan 22) that he will co-chair a multiministerial task force to deal with the "eventuality" of the Wuhan virus on Singapore's shores. 

He will lead the committee with Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong.

"It is inevitable that we will see an imported case sooner or later," said Mr Gan, adding that this is because of the evolving situation and the high volume of traffic in and out of Singapore. 

He was speaking to reporters after an update from the Ministry of Health (MOH) on the Wuhan virus situation. Three more suspected cases have been identified in Singapore and are undergoing testing.

In a press release on Wednesday, the Health Ministry advised travellers to avoid non-essential travel to Wuhan.

"MOH reminded the public to continue to exercise caution and attention to personal hygiene when travelling to the rest of China," the release said.

Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the SARS-like outbreak, has urged people to stay away as it strives to contain a disease that has spread across the country. 

The death toll from the virus has reached nine while more than 400 people have now been infected in 13 provinces and municipalities. 

The disease is spreading just as hundreds of millions of people are travelling in packed trains, planes and buses across China to gather with friends and family for the Chinese New Year holiday, which starts on Saturday.

Across the world, the virus has spread to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States. 

On Wednesday, Singapore began isolating all pneumonia patients who have been in China in recent weeks. Those with acute respiratory infection and have visited a hospital in China within 14 days before their symptoms surfaced will also be isolated. 

Previously, only patients with fever and pneumonia and who have travelled to Wuhan have been subject to isolation.

how Come no case in Singapore? Hopefully our screening is up to date.

Is screening a 100% solution or prevention?

"Incubation period. The incubation period will vary depending on the pathogen, and will have to be determined through surveillance. The incubation period for human influenza is typically 2 days, with a range of 1 - 4 days. However, human cases of avian influenza have incubation periods around 2 - 8 days and as long as 14 - 17 days. The incubation period for SARS was up to 10 days, and MERS-CoV up to 14 days. Depending on the pathogen, the incubation period for field investigations and monitoring of contacts will also vary correspondingly.

Transmission. There are 3 modes of transmission for respiratory pathogens: a. Large droplet spread (the main route of transmission for influenza); b. Transmission through droplet nuclei, i.e. airborne spread (Sneezing, coughing and even talking can produce droplets of wide variety of particle sizes that can facilitate droplet or droplet nuclei infection); and c. Contact, either direct or indirect, with respiratory secretions."

Just hope no virus outbreak.

For this I would said our garmen are doing a good job in doing a preparedness and prevention to get ready fight the virus.

When time to give praise have to  give, even though I don't like many others things they do.
