Some very simple steps that the sg govt has not initiated for whatever good reasons:
1. Ensure everyone has access to a mask or handrub...or minimally the ns, healthcare workers, schools, geriatric population, public transport drivers...these group should number at most 1 million
2. Ensure everyone who leaves the house wears a mask at all times
3. China people within the incubation time frame should be facility quarantined, no movement for 15 days at least...they made our healthcare workers stay in hotels and motels in 2003 for sars so same rule applies
4. Immediate compulsory and free flu vaccination...this is to facilitate the I'd of virus if one gets the wuhan virus and also usually 2 virus cannot survive in a body tgt
5. Allow workers to slack or work from home for at least the next 15 days minimize outside contact
6. Use this as a period to test emergency preparedness all shopping malls to go no aircon at certain periods of time with the exception of supermarkets...of course capitaland mall a will lose $
totally right.
this is the time our PAP million dollar salary minister should do the right thing for Singaporean.
mobilize the medical specialist from the military and the civil defense force to station at high-human traffic area like malls, school, commercial building. they need to get use to operate at public sight and also for the public to get use to them while the situation is still in control. just like they deploy patrol team in airports with a combine of military and police personnels.
as per Jan-28-2020 8pm, I am still not able to buy a surgical mask from watson, gardian....etc. also most of these retail also state limited purchase of hand-sanitizer.
this should not be the case. PAP should activate the military and civil deference forces transport unit to bring the mask, hand-sanitizer from the warehouse to the retail (if the CNY holiday is a reason why all these is not reaching the retails)
PAP don't be passive in this matter, don;t wait and see how other country reacts to the situation and than you follow. if you are taking million dollar salary from us. I expect the PAP to actively do something better than the present situation.
