I.e. to cover up that they failed to have sufficient stockpile they need to change ppls behaviour and discourage usage. Its not about best practice but abt making the best of the bad situation we are now in and which they never plan properly for In terms of emergency response and systems in place they are good. But in terms of stockpiling and reserves they were caught out. So have to discourage usage owing to someone who made nice systems (cheapest part of response planning) but refuse to cough up money for stockpile (the costly part of response planning)... always comes down to dollar and sense then when too late try to throw money at the problem That Lam Pin Min posting the pic of a warehouse full of masks to "assure" the general public that we have enough masks was the most stupid thing to do and spectacularly backfired. Totally unnecessary to do this. Common sense would have told them that there would be a rush for masks with many hoarding. Don't need a rocket scientist to figure that out. ↡ Advertisement 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do Singapore 2nd Wuhan evac flight is so many days after the 1st flight? ?? I think the singapore evac flight is a totally different scenario. For one, no point having a 2nd flight so close to the 1st flight which was not even full. I never said it will be easy by I think Japan can do it in a few days if they decide to do it. They not like us, I think they have emergency shelters for LARGE disasters for almost EVERYONE. I am pretty sure quarantining 3k people is not beyond their ability. It is more of a political will... at the end of the day. Most people are short-sighted... wonder what happens when 2 weeks is up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most biz, HC more or less is freeze. This already put strain on existing team. If 1 member Kenna quarantine, it will make the situation worst.

For this virus saga, all the peoples I know there are bonding togethers. Staying in the house. Fighting the virus together. Here only ugly image of fighting for food in supermarkets, we are the new 3rd world country. I never visit China for many years but I travel a lot every year. I still believe truly Singapore is a good place to live. I thought our response as a community is pretty good. The supermarket rush lasted for only a weekend? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with virus outbreak.. You start to be more cautious and took notice even slightest cough.. So naturally you will start to notice more of these.. Agree that I took extra notice of such behaviour now but I have noticed these behaviour even before this episode. I will usually bring to my children’s attention of what not to do.
