Serious [COVID-19 Virus] PAP response to 2019 nCov Situation

Which other country is in the same vulnerable situation as SG?
No need for any country to go to war with SG. Just dont export food to SG and disrupt the Sea Lines of Communications and air routes. SG will starve and go on its knees. No need for the other country to fire a shot

Remember to wear a condom when going outdoors. Don't let the coronavirus enter your lanjiao.

I mean sg go to war with them for food
That is no justification to go to war because the other country refuses to sell you their. The only justification is when the other country signs a water supply agreement and then breaks that agreement and refuses to sell you the water

Actually, this is very bad. On surface it is fake, but it reflects the society's expectations, in a way it is ahead of the curve.
About 70 cities are lock-down in China and we are still allowing flights into Singapore from China daily. No doubt we quarantine those Singaporeans, PRs, work-permit holders and students from China when they landed in Singapore, our persistence to leave doors open made us the second largest Wuhan Virus exporter in the world. Closing the schools is a necessary protection during this high-risk period. Our government should have some foresight and not respond only when SHTF.

Durian prices crashing
https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/C...pical-fruit-rotting-at-China-border-crossings
Durian farms in Thailand have also been hit just as the harvest season is set to begin. Production is forecast at 956,000 tons this year - up about 27% from 2019 - on the back of growing demand from Chinese traders and tourists.
Helping drive China's newfound appetite for the fruit has been Jack Ma, founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding. In April 2018, Ma said he would start selling durian online. He then stunned Thai officials by selling 80,000 durians in just one minute on his shopping site.
But instead of cashing in on increased Chinese sales this year, growers face disaster. Nearly one million tons of durian is expected to flood the market from late February, with few buyers in sight. "We can't do anything except pray for an end to the outbreak," said Jira Payungporn, a durian trader in Chantaburi Province, home to Thailand's premium durian.
Paiboon Wongchatsathit, president of the Thai Fresh Fruit Traders and Exporters Association, said Thailand has lost a good chance to boost durian exports.
He said prices are expected to fall sharply this year, angering farmers, who will likely call for government support. "Prices could fall to 50 baht ($1.60) per kilogram, down from 180 baht during last year's boom," Paiboon said.

Looks like PAP had lost control of the situation. Look at gan’s shaq look. Running out of face masks running out of sanitizers.
We should learn from ah neh and use our own pee to sanitize
