Wind30 Turbocharged June 3, 2020 Share June 3, 2020 (edited) I think we need more effort in stopping Dengue. The more I think about it, the more I think we over-reacted for Covid. 12 people died from Dengue, 24 people died from Covid. Are we going to throw 50 billion for stopping Dengue??? Because I live in a red cluster, I have narrowed my jogging range to avoid getting bitten on my morning jog. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/dengue-cases-this-year-could-surpass-2013-peak-12800008 Edited June 3, 2020 by Wind30 ↡ Advertisement 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobayashiGT Internal Moderator June 3, 2020 Share June 3, 2020 yeah. I agree. When I walk my dog, I will see like bubble tea cup and stuff on the pavement. And because no cleaner is working around the area, it was left there for a few days. I picked up and throw it after a few days. hahah. Thinking someone might forgotten his/her bubble tea is there. hahaha 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID-19 infects human-to-human of course, while dengue needs a mosquito. However, it's certainly an intriguing comparision. Time and history will hopefully yield an answer to this question. COVID-19 has certainly cost the World an untold amount of resources. Edited June 3, 2020 by CremornePt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic June 4, 2020 Share June 4, 2020 CB for two months, whatever workplace, worksites and construction sites are ordered to stop work, FW isolated and quarantined. Ppl ordered to stay home. Who is around to remove stagnant water whenever it rains? Businesses like fogging and area cleaning are they ordered to stop work and stay home as well during CB? What do you think will happen? Which one are we going to take the risk? Dengue or Virus? Choose one. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why the difference in response for Dengue. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are fumigation almost every week as well as do house to house check. Edited June 4, 2020 by Sdf4786k 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic June 4, 2020 Share June 4, 2020 I spray pesticide at those dark area and also outside the corridor floor trap and below those potted plants, even though my area is not dengue cluster.

Jamesc Hypersonic June 4, 2020 Share June 4, 2020 Die from Dengue so unglam. Die from Covid and everyone will be talking about you. Like die in a plane crash and everyone will be taking about you. Get know down by a bus and so unglam. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky to get bitten by mozzie if you are in dengue zone. If dont want to spray insecticide while you are at home, then have to spray insect repellent to reduce the risk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of times, it is not from your home. If got fever, just take note whether the symptom is Dengue like or not. I kenna before without knowing it. By the time i see doctor, fever had subsided. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people when they have dengue feel more serious and very unwell. Indeed true most of the times, dengue mozzie not from your own house ad is from neighbor. As you can see some people even outside their house corridor like some plant nursery, so many plants and dont know if there is any dengue mozzie breeding? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
