Hi All,
Coffeeshops talk very hot on the subject, but funny, less people wear masks, they said only the smarter ones do so.
We piece together their stories for your read.
virus this kind of thing very small, no one can understand how it behaves right, dengue fever virus, singapore always got people die right?
no vaccine found? first world sinkapore? Dengue fever goes away when you wish, but Wuhan virus is human to human, you cannot wish away, things must be done and talk only cannot work right? What have sinkapore done? Are we too late in the first place when 100k signed petition to stop the hosts?
Wuhan virus how well you know this small monster? How you calm people down, my friend, this is not GE hustings, this is virus, not political issues washing minds right.
yes . life must go on but people are exposed to people everyday in buses , MRT, etc, but you are in ivory tower well shielded right, you talk about calm and united.
you cannot calm people when you are not sure of what you are going to do right?
people panicked because they dont trust the so called leaders on the job.
we have to admit that a global village only concern of money will fall amid any kind of epidemic when it strikes. May be not but it will come when the borders are unbridled.
can the people who voted PAP still trust PAP on virus issue, reporting the truth nothing but the truth, or perhaps, aftermath of the panic buying, the mass media will be controlled to tell only the good news, but this will be a big mistake , an irreparable mistake.
how do you calm people when the population in sinkapore is teemed with nearly half of foreigners. The fear will never go away unless the political environ is changed. The change must come from the voters. it is up to the sinkaporeans whether they want to live in fear or happiness. Wuhan virus may be just a beginning, as more and more foreigners come to roost because of money, Sinkapore wont last for another 50 years. This is not blaming on certain people or certain group, but we need to find the root cause in order to find a solution.
And people in charge should not keep harping on xenophobia, playing down the problem at the doorstep, , and firing at Sinkaporeans for being panicky or worrisome, this is natural.
So ask the govt, how do you want the sinkaporeans to behave amid the outbreak, pretend nothing has happened ? smile and drink and be calm , wishing the problem away.
don't be such a big joke, they are humans, they have the right to think what is good for them.
this is their stories, thank you for your read, pls share .
