The PAP has been failing in the handling of this crisis. The virus is spreading like wild fires because of ineffective measures put out by MOH.

I still feel that for safety pf the public these 30,000 chinese should be banned from ever returning and quickly hire CECA people to replace them.
It is perfectly fine to bring back those 30,000 Chinamen to mingle with the CECA people in Singapore. Then those CECA will return home.....You know what I meant right? Does not Singapore want our nation to be globalised, signed more freeflow of labours, defend them and mingle, make friends and than get fucked? I suspect our minitoots have bought lands elsewhere and stay safe in case they screwed up in time like this and get voted out into the sunset, You think they care?

Surprised???? Look at how much budget they've allocated to our HEALTHCARE SYSTEM as compared to MINDEF and the PA. KNN. Singapore healthcare has the lowest budget as compared to other developed nation.

Spend on healthcare can brag about it during NDP or in Mindef's Pioneer magazine? :biggrin:

Just cancel the fucking thing and send the PRC team packing. KNN, such a simple thing also don't know. What is wrong with the authorities here?

AFP News 9 February 2020

More than 70 exhibitors including US aerospace giant Lockheed Martin have pulled out of the Singapore Airshow over concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, but organisers insisted Sunday that Asia's biggest aviation event would still go ahead.

Precautionary measures -- including a major reduction in public attendance and temperature screenings -- have been imposed ahead of the opening of the event which opens Tuesday in the city-state, which has reported 40 coronavirus infections.

Organisers were also encouraging attendees to greet each other by bowing or waving instead of shaking hands.

Leck Chet Lam, the managing director of organiser Experia Events, confirmed that more than 70 exhibitors have decided not to participate, but said there was "still strong presence" at the show.

The biggest names in aerospace participate in the Singapore Airshow, and often massive deals -- such as aircraft orders from major carriers -- are announced at the event.

The outbreak, which has killed more than 800 people and infected tens of thousands across China, has spread to nearly more than two dozen other countries and sparked global concern.

Many nations, including Singapore, have barred the entry of travellers who had been to China recently from entering or transiting through its territory to counter the spread of the virus.

Despite that ban, the Chinese air force will take part in the air show for the first time. The acrobatic team will participate in the flight displays -- the highlight of the biennial event -- but more than 10 Chinese companies have withdrawn.

On Friday, Singapore upgraded its disease alert to the second-highest level on its four-point system.

Lockheed Martin, and plane maker De Havilland, pulled out after the alert level was raised.

Canada's Bombardier had already withdrawn.

The South Korean air force's aerobatics team had pulled out of the Singapore Airshow earlier this week because of the virus outbreak.

Why bring indonesia into this? They do not have many tourist from china. And very few china flights compared to singapore and bangkok.

Singapore easily tracked those in contact because they attended a conference st hyatt and only after two people who attended the conference got infected. One in malaysia and the other from korea. Its foreign authorities that alerted PAP.
'That's a problem': Indonesia's coronavirus vulnerability revealed

Jakarta: Medical experts have raised concerns about Indonesia's ability to detect novel coronavirus, potentially leaving a number of undiagnosed cases on Australia's doorstep.
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can reveal that Indonesian medical laboratories lack the testing kits needed to rapidly detect the Wuhan coronavirus, according to one of the country's leading molecular biologists, and the virus may already be present in the country despite government claims of no infections.

The specific reagents — chemicals used in testing kits to help analyse and identify the Wuhan or novel coronavirus — are not yet available in the country. These required reagents are only due to arrive in Indonesia in the next few days.
In the interim, the country's labs have only been able to detect the presence of the coronavirus family in a potentially infected person. This family of viruses also includes the common cold, and the MERS and now-extinct SARS viruses. The country is yet to positively confirm a single case of the novel coronavirus.

To identify an infection of the novel coronavirus from China, which is also known as 2019-nCov, medical authorities in Indonesia have to detect the coronavirus family in a person and then genetically sequence the results, a process which can take five or six days.

Professor Amin Soebandrio, the chairman of Jakarta's Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology, which is involved in the testing and gene sequencing work, confirmed to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that the reagent — which can reduce the time taken to detect the coronavirus to a few hours — was due to arrive in Indonesia soon.
"We are in the process of obtaining the specific detection kit for the 2019 novel coronavirus. We expect that in the coming few days we will receive the specific kit so we don’t need to do the gene sequencing," he said.
"We won't need to do the two steps [to confirm an infection]."..........................

China is also one of the top five sources of tourists to Indonesia, with about 2 million Chinese nationals visiting in 2018. Australia is also in the top five, with more than a million Australians visiting Bali each year.
