I'd say take this opportunity to invoke CECA and import additional 30,000 Indians. Indians are cleaner than dirty Chinks who have coronavirus.

Amidst the Wuhan virus scare, people are grabbing face masks, hand sanitisers and disinfectants like there is no tomorrow.
If you have had trouble getting hand sanitisers, here’s a little tip from Facebook power-user (and CEO of Temasek Holdings) Ho Ching.
Mouthwash, rubbing alcohol as alternatives
“If we can’t get hand sanitisers, we can improvise with most mouthwash or antiseptic mouth wash,” she wrote.
She added that you should find those with chlorhexidine (an antiseptic). These types of mouthwash typically come in pink (here’s an example).

You can also use rubbing alcohol to sanitise your hands.
Using brandy, maotai, and vodka
“If we (are) desperate, we can use a strong alcohol such as brandy, maotai or vodka!” Ho added.
Known as China’s “national liquor”, maotai (or moutai) is a type of clear spirit (bai jiu) distilled from red sorghum. It is usually served at Chinese state banquets and presented as diplomatic gifts.
You can get a 200ml bottle of maotai (53 per cent alcohol) on Lazada for a whooping S$256.
That’s some expensive improvised hand sanitiser.

“Rub thoroughly including the back of hand and between fingers, and let dry naturally,” wrote Ho.
“Then, use a baby lotion or other moisturisers, to prevent the hand from getting too dry. Symptoms of excessive dryness are peeling skin or redness.”
In an afternote, Ho also explained why alcohol can be used to protect yourself from coronaviruses.
The Wuhan coronavirus, just like SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), are enveloped viruses where the outer “envelope” can get destroyed by sunlight, heat, alcohol, and mild disinfectants.
Products with at least 40 per cent alcohol are effective, Ho added.
“Ethanol or ethyl alcohol is another name – this is what we drink and use for handrub or hand sanitiser.
Methyl alcohol or methanol is the poisonous alcohol stuff which we should not drink. Most hand rubs also contain methanol – so don’t drink your hand rub stuff, folks!”



I can get over how safe I feel with this kind of brains being in charge of singapore's money! :thumbsup:

About 30,000 work pass holders from China yet to return after Chinese New Year break: Josephine Teo

View attachment 71013

SINGAPORE - About 30,000 work pass holders who are of Chinese nationality left Singapore over the Chinese New Year break and have not returned, said Manpower Minister Josephine Teo on Sunday (Feb 2).

These workers, who would be required to go on a 14-day leave of absence when they return to Singapore, make up less than 1 per cent of the work force here, said Mrs Teo.

The figure does not include Singaporeans who have recently travelled to China who will also need to go on a leave of absence when they return. They can go back to school or work only after 14 days, provided they are well.

Mrs Teo, who was speaking to reporters on her visit to Oasia Hotel Downtown with Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing, where they inspected precautionary measures after a hotel guest was found to have the virus, urged Singaporeans not to ostracise those on the mandated leave of absence.

She said that there was no need for landlords, dormitory operators, or even co-tenants to evict these people as "by and large they are not unwell".

The government had previously said it has heard reports of this happening.

"The reason we have introduced this leave of absence requirement is to take extra precautions, and this is to minimise social contact. But we must be mindful that as we take these precautions we must be supportive of the people who are affected," she said.

Mr Chan had also said at a community event earlier on Sunday (Feb 2), that Singaporeans should not reject those who have been placed on leave of absence.

"During the worst of the Sars crisis the best of Singaporeans came through; we took care of each other, sent meals to those under quarantine, shared our supplies and medical resources - that's how we overcame the crisis together," he said.

Singapore has been taking measures to both reduce the risk of imported cases, and of the pathogen spreading within the community here.

On Saturday, it began imposing stricter travel restrictions on visitors who have been in mainland China in the past 14 days, barring them from entry or transit through Singapore. Visa restrictions have also been placed on those who hold Chinese passports.

Singaporeans, permanent residents and long-term pass holders returning from China must also go on a 14-day leave of absence.

Mrs Teo also said people who have been instructed to stay home should exercise personal responsibility and minimise social contact.

"If we are unwell and we show up whether at restaurants or any other places where there are frontline workers, and we expect service from them, we could put them in an awkward position," she said.

While not as strict as a quarantine order, failing to adhere to a leave of absence could force the government to take drastic measures, said Mrs Teo, as she reminded employers and workers alike to exercise responsibility.

On Sunday, Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam also praised those who had stepped up to contribute to efforts to curb the spread of the virus. Among these have been soldiers, who packed masks to be given to the public, and volunteers who distributed the masks.

But he called out a "small minority" who have not helped the situation by spreading fake news or who have spread anti-Chinese sentiments.

"We are bigger than this and our hearts are bigger than this," he said.

"Really, we shouldn't come down to this level of xenophobia."

Citing example of stories of landlords evicting tenants who are on home quarantine or leave of absence, Mr Shanmugam said: "You know they are on leave of absence of home quarantine so that the rest of Singapore, all of us, can be saved. So if they are tossed out onto the streets, where are they going to go?

"We have to avoid these sorts of irrational actions."
Maybe the fuck-in-tight-spaces bitch should go Changi airport and welcome this tiongs back with a handshake personally.

Will this machine work when the infected people show no symptoms and have no fever? :wink:

If you want to screen temperatures, screen at the departure point, so the problematic ones don't get to fly to their destination (and risk infecting other passengers and flight crew).

That Chee Bye never think that from the airplane to the quarantine stations...how many potential infections can be passed by these 30,000 workers.

That overpaid Chee Bye should go to China and organise to quarantine all these 30,000 workers in an island for 14 days before sending them back to Singapore.
