The message also said that it will “manage” other airport staff seen wearing masks
artemov Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 https://www.sammyboy.com/threads/wuhan-virus-pap%E2%80%99s-responses-to-2019-ncov-situation.279062/#post-3033335 I will share with you the PAP govt's approach to any health crisis. Calm the public. Say it is not that bad. everything is ok. Don't panic. Life goes on. The economy goes on. I know because I was on the front lines of SARS back in 2003. I lived through MOH telling SGH healthcare staff NOT to wear N95 masks because it would cause everyone to want to wear a mask in the hospital. This contributed to the outbreak of SARS in SGH. Coupled with their crazy decision to send patients from TTSH which was SARS ground zero to SGH! And have to cheek to ask us NOT to wear N95 masks when seeing the transferred patients. This is how Dr Alex Chao and Dr Chng Siew Ping got SARS when we did the cholecystectomy on the SARS patient transferred from TTSH. Also the nurses who kena. For the PAP and Singaporeans, economy ie $$$$ is the most important thing in the world. If it wasn't for SARS and all the shit that happened I would not have migrated to Canada. I myself got a fever and was admitted to TTSH next to Dr Chng Siew Ping. But I did not contract SARS. I dodged the bullet. Nevertheless during the following quarantine after discharge I had to make the difficult decision with my wife to move our family (just my wife, myself and my 2 year old daughter and 1 year old son) back to our flat. We were living with my in laws before that. And we decided if it was to be then we would die together as a family. After the quarantine period I went back to work at SGH. Strict measures. Wearing N95, gown. Knowing how to put it on without touching the front. Showering before going home. Changing into the white T shirt and blue pants. Plastic bag all writing equipment notebooks pens. Up to this day I will not forgive the fucking MOH and SGH admin people for their blatant mismanagement and negligence. FUCK SINGAPORE!

darkeststar Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 This Lam Par Min posed himself for a selfie in such a big warehouse with mountains of mask cartons how can insufficient stock? You mean those cartons are actually empty one meh? ::) They are keeping it for hospital staff, in the event of this corona virus becoming a major pandemic outbreak. So far ignoring China, i would say the rest of the world are doing a good job of containing it, Technically, i'm in agreement that if you're ok, no need to wear mask. Everyone just follow best hygience practices. And if you're not feeling well, go to hospital straight away, with mask on. Else quarantine yourself at home, in your room, even away from family members. However, the citizens of the outbreak country are not exactly the most civic minded, and their hygiene practices are far below acceptable, and we have too many of them wondering round the world.
jeromelang Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 The 8 "netizens" that were dealt with by the authorities by first reporting about the epidemic were now revealed to be all doctors， and not just ordinary netizens. The wuhan authorities ignored the warnings from these 8 doctors, instead, arrested them to quell "unhappy news" affecting upcoming CNY mood. And all 8 doctors are still in the front line handling infected patients.... [embed=425,349] [/embed]

jeromelang Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Letter to the evil PeeM by Jing Mei Dear Prime Minister, We thank the government for taking a huge step to ban travellers from Hubei and meticulously keep track of the sick and affected people. The epidemic has spread exponentially in China, and the Chinese government, upon realising the urgency of the matter – though late – has taken extraordinary steps like isolating the cities and even provinces in order to contain the disease. We should learn from their mistakes; but frankly, we are already late as 10,000 Hubei potential virus carriers have been permitted to wander about in our little island, spreading the virus everywhere. Though they are now barred, we simply cannot afford to have the rest of Chinese nationals – who are also potential virus carriers – to be descending on us to help the Hubei people to continue spreading the virus. We should not hesitate anymore to take swift actions to prevent the disease from overwhelming our nation, our healthcare system, and whatever little resources that we have. We can put in our best efforts to clean up, track, and quarantine all the present contamination caused by the Hubei people; but if the rest of the Chinese nationals are allowed to keep coming in, all our efforts to contain or wipe out the spread will come to naught. There are no other ways to go about preventing the spread of the virus except to substantially limit the entry of the coronavirus by temporarily barring the Chinese nationals who are virus carrier suspects in order to protect our country, fellow Singaporeans, our systems, and our precious limited resources. If our government sticks to its stand and let the spread of the virus balloon (unlike China who took the initiative to lock itself down and won the praise of the world), our neighbours will definitely demand Singapore to lockdown (tantamount to a slap on our face). The rest of the world would then avoid us like a plague. This would have far-reaching repercussion and consequences not only to our economy but also our political standing and reputation as an efficient and quick-thinking government. There is nothing xenophobic about barring people with the disease coming to our shore to make us sick or even cause death, and utilise our facilities that should be reserved for our people first – just like we devise all ways and means to stop terrorists coming in with weapons to attack our people and facilities. We sympathise and empathise with the Chinese, especially with those who are taken ill. Our hearts cry out to families in China whose loved ones have succumbed to the virus. But most of all, our hearts fear for the safety and well-being of our loved ones and fellow citizens. We don’t want to walk around in our home country with the fear of death hanging over our heads. Our first PM had taught us well and I have always quoted him to inculcate the good values in this Confucian teaching : 修身, 齐家, 治国, 平天下 (cultivate yourself, regulate your family, manage the nation in order to bring peace to the world). We look to the government to take care of us, look after our welfare, and protect our country so that we may be strong to help others. We are not the first country to lock out the Chinese nationals. No one can fault you for taking care of our people and protecting your citizens when you bar the virus carriers from coming in – not even the Chinese government. You are helping the world to stop the spread. The Chinese government would definitely understand because currently they are also desperately taking care of their own people and the world by locking down themselves. And I, as a parent, grandparent, eldest of the family (both parents/parents in law have passed on), friend, and fellow Singaporean appeal to you and your ministers to seriously look into the barring of Chinese nationals from entering Singapore temporarily until such time when it is safe to receive them again. Yours sincerely, Jing Mei
artemov Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 It's quite clear that the government stockpile is not enough. Hence the chronic out of stocks at the shops and the constant propaganda that masks are not necessary for the healthy.
pschia Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Why stopped drawing from the Gahmen stockpile? Is it because the Gahmen wants to charge a premium for drawing it from their stockpile like what happened in earlier years during serious haze episodes when the Gahmen wanted to charge more to cover their years of storage and administrative costs?
