COVID-19: Singapore to shift from border control to social distancing

[glockman]

Since the disease is mild in most people and the mortality rate is extremely low the best course of action would be allow the disease to spread so that natural immunity is developed in the population.

That was how measles was dealt with in the past and I cannot recall anyone in my cohort dying from measles even though it can be serious.

This could jolly well be the intent of the government. Before the vaccine is developed, let the people develop natural immunity or die trying.

Were we all given vaccination against measles when we were in school or when we were born? I am not sure.

I never had the measles vaccination in order to gain lifelong immunity I had measles instead.

Read the latest Bloomberg report on Covid 19, make your own judgement on how serious if you are infected, the bicycle man will peddle his wares for his masters.

Can cancel the alert system liao lah. Just pretend Covid-19 doesn't exist.

sinkies must also refrain from touching and scratching their itchy genitalia. how washing hands thoroughly with disinfectant soap is also important. white glow indicates bacteria and germs (and viruses too when not sexposed to sunlight). for me, at least 6.9 seconds with soap.

KNN you doing wrongly on the 6.9secs KNN should be 6.9 steps each at 9.6 secs KNN

Yet, the fucking pap is thinking of opening borders. Un-fucking-believable.

Don’t worry about it, our gold standards can shield us from everything. Teehee...

Pap is just dying to do away with border controls, allowing everyone from everywhere to come forth and spread the virus. Furthermore, how to have effective social distancing when the island is jam-packed with people?

Yahoo News Singapore10 hours ago

SINGAPORE — As the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to spread globally, border controls will become less relevant and effective in the future, said Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong on Tuesday (10 March). Singapore will need to shift its approach towards containing the spread within the country, he added.

“Country-specific border control measures will become less relevant and effective because we are unable to shut Singapore from the world,” he said during a media conference by the multi-ministry task force set up to handle the coronavirus, which he co-chairs.

“We will have to double down on the measures we can do within Singapore. We will look at the whole range of social distancing measures.”

Ramping up with fuller range of measures
Some basic surveillance at the borders would continue, as well as the use of swab tests for travellers who are febrile (showing signs of fever) or who have respiratory symptoms.

However, over time, Wong said the government will have to ramp up and implement more social distancing measures.

An example of a social distancing measure was implemented on Tuesday, as the Ministry of Health (MOH) suspended all senior-centric activities by government
agencies for two weeks, following a COVID-19 outbreak cluster that had spread from a dinner event at SAFRA Jurong.

Other forms of social distancing measures already in place include isolating patients, putting close contacts on quarantine and issuing Stay-Home Notices.

“We will look at a fuller range of social distancing measures we can put in place (such as) staggered hours and telecommuting, for public events, community activities,
school closures, workplace as well as religious services. We will cover a broad spectrum and we will see what we should put in place,” Wong said.

Social distancing should have been done since DAY 1.

I just spoke with my china business partner. She reiterated that it is very important to wear a mask when we go out. And that the virus is very very serious. I told her our very capable government says no need. She couldn't believe it.

Your Chink business partner is an idiot. Masks do nothing to protect against the infection. Nobody is NZ has been wearing masks save a few more idiot chinks. The majority here aren't stupid like the chinks.

In all seriousness, masks do help. At least to reduce the dosage of the virus if one is exposed. No harm in wearing one. Just like you getting your flu immunity shots, even if they do not provide 100% protection. Perhaps the infection rate in China has gone down (if their news is to be believed) due to their wearing of masks?
