Sinkieland is like that lah. Cannot shut down!

If shut down the economy will collapse! If economy collapse SGD collapse! SGD collapse then cannot buy food. Cannot buy fuel. Cannot buy electricity. Got no power to treat water for drinking!

EQUALS ALL DIE ANYWAY!

So the government rather push it and let some people die and do their best to minimize the spread till it blows over.

Humans are do dumb. The reaction to this relatively minor infection is way overblown.

It shows the harm that can result from the fact that angst and fear can be spread via broadband in seconds nowadays.

Honestly, I am glad you feel this way about this virus thing. Makes me feel somewhat relieved. I hope you are right.

The reaction to the virus is causing far more harm than the virus itself.

 

[eatshitndie]

True. Primarily because it spreads easily and being a new virus there is yet no vaccine. Hence people are worried.

 

[nayr69sg]

Put it this way.

If I told you a bank robber is on the loose and was last seen in the following places. Would you avoid those places?

Most would right? Human nature is to stay away from potential danger.

Turns out the bank robber wrote a note saying he was carrying a bomb and made away with $200.

Dangerous?

China virus import ban hits seafood trade

Australia's seafood trade faces an uncertain future as the coronavirus threatens to leave many unemployed.

It is a major concern for exporters like David Caracciolo who owns Mackay Reef Fish Supplies in Queensland.

He says his business usually does well around Chinese New Year but the halt of exports to China has made things tough.


"We export live m&d crabs this time of year but that has just stopped," Mr Caracciolo told AAP.

"The consumption domestically has also dried up."

Without a change in fortune or help from the state government, Mr Caracciolo said he feared for job losses.

Sales of coral trout have also plummeted in Queensland with up to 40 boats being pulled from the water, according to the Queensland Seafood Industry Association.

Chief executive officer Eric Perez warns action must be taken quickly to save jobs as the coronavirus shuts off China which has temporarily shut down its live animal trade.

China and Southeast Asia make up about 99 per cent of Queensland's live coral trout market.

"It's pretty much killed that market in the interim," Mr Perez told AAP.

"The market has been pulled out from under us."

Mr Perez was part of a round-table discussion with Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Wednesday, the outcome of which he says will be critical to helping the trade.

"We need help quickly. We don't need any bureaucratic mumbling," he said prior to the meeting.

Australia's domestic market could become flooded with seafood product if providers are prevented from selling to Asia.

Mr Perez says this could lead to a drop in price, which is great for consumers but could lead to crews being unable to pay business overheads.

Seafood workers across the nation have watched their industry grind to a halt, with crayfish exports from WA ceasing while rock lobster sales in SA and Victoria have been decimated.

Is it possible that world situation becomes so bad that air, sea and land transportation becomes so limited that SG can import food from China, Aus, Malaysia, USA, EU? Under that scenario, no food for SG

 

[ckmpd]

Will climate, volcanoes, earthquakes, health scares, etc limit food supplies and curtail world transportation? then how?

Local clusters being uncovered every day. Better leave now before the lockdown on visitors from Singapore.

As a privileged singaporean, i will be least affected. I am more concerned abt the average singaporean

No need for pap ministers and other privileged singaporeans to worry and run road if they dont love and have compassion for average singaporeans

SG doesnt even have its own flour. If ships cant bring in flour, breadtalk, Macdonalds and subway can close down

 

[horny]

Don worry.ponggol have wild boars for u to hunt and eat

True. Primarily because it spreads easily and being a new virus there is yet no vaccine. Hence people are worried.

It's a common cold virus. There is no vaccine for any of the strains. Immunity is built up slowly by being exposed to each strain.

Equal chance of infection lah. And some say smokers will get it bad if they get the virus, because of "weaker lungs". Smoking is blamed for everything health related these days.

Good morning brother. I checked last night and found a recent article from Bloomberg. You are right, smoking does not protect you from the virus. Wuhan's air quality has been very poor, many had smokers' lung.

"When Premier Li Keqiang declared a “war against pollution” in 2014, a few hundred residents of the city of Wuhan in central China took it as a cue.
They printed Li’s words on a six-meter (20 foot) banner and protested outside a foul-smelling incinerator plant they feared was causing illness in the community. Buoyed by the conviction they were answering the leadership’s call, the residents were instead harassed by local police officers who tore down the sign and trampled on it." https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2020-china-wuhan-pollution/
