Huat ah. Spread to the general population. No need to wear mask. PAP good work.
City Square hit by suspected case
I agree that no mask is required as long as you have a team of doctors on standby and 1st class accommodation ready for you.And when they realised it was a mistake to tell sinkies to not put on masks if they are not ill, they will merely say they were advised by medical professionals. So not their fault.
He is no different from Winnie the Pooh. Both farkers always have people below them go front-line to do damage control and wipe their dirty asses.You notice that Lee Hsien Loong has faded into the background after that little visit to the hospital, it's primarily Lawrence and Gan dealing with the situation now.
I want to believe you, but :Its fatality rate is 2%. A normal flu season in angmor lands is also like tat
hanor, also no point doing doggie as the arsehole might be too close for comfort and may play "misty" for me - and like a kitten up a tree, have to call 995 to douse the mist and rescue the pussySafe sex wouldn’t work as will have close contact.
Unless the sex is done in gloryhole style
Good to see by-standers and others wearing face masks. Despite the govt's attempts to dissuade it's usage if one is not ill.
Too early to say...but right now it's full exaggeration.I want to believe you, but :
The novel coronavirus case fatality rate (CFR) is currently estimated at around 2%, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday, January 29, 2020[1][2].
However, the WHO specified that this is a very early and provisional estimate that may change. Surveillance is increasing, within China but also globally, but at the moment:
For comparison, the case fatality rate with seasonal flu is less than 0.01% (1 death per every 10,000 cases)[4].
- We don't know how many were infected ("When you look at how many people have died, you need to look at how many people where infected, and right now we don't know that number. So it is early to put a percentage on that."[1][2]).
- The only number currently known is how many people have died out of those who have been reported to the WHO.
- It is therefore very early to make any conclusive statements about what the overall mortality rate will be for the novel coronavirus, according to the World Health Organization [1][2].
Mortality rate for SARS was 10%, and for MERS 34%.

The coronavirus outbreak, however, is proving to be more deadly than the flu. It has killed roughly 2% of the people who have contracted it so far, according to world health officials. That compares with a mortality rate of 0.095% for the flu in the U.S., according to CDC estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season. The CDC estimates that 21 million people will eventually get the flu this season.
This virus is so virulent that it has infected more than 70% of the population and till to date many well-minded Singaporeans including Dr Tan Cheng Bock is still searching for a cure!
2 % still not big a deal.... and so far the deaths are mostly in Wuhan n ah tiong land where is it winter.. singkieland is warmer ..n of course more humid which will allow the virus to remain alive longer. But the warmth will mitigate the deadliness of the virus. Just take warm baths n keep clean.

None of the 43 patients who died from flu complications in the past 3 months had been vaccinated.

Yes, air-con could well be the reason. So need to turn them off!!!Summer is coming,,,,and this Wuhan virus will be a thing of the past
Number Of Coronavirus Cases Could Fall Sharply In May Due To Warmer Weather
You may have heard the notion that a fever is just your body fighting an infection, so once it passes, you’ll feel better.

Apparently the weather, when warm, could also kill viruses such as the coronavirus, at least according to some health experts.
In a commentary on Channel NewsAsia (CNA), Dr Jyoti Somani and Professor Paul Tambyah purport that China’s impending warm weather in May may bode well for our fight against the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV.
Novel coronavirus may be seasonal like the influenza & SARS
Comparing with the common flu and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the pair deduced how the novel coronavirus is likely seasonal too.
As such, infections may decrease as temperatures in China soar in May, reducing the number of cases.
The doctors told CNA that like the flu, the 2019-nCoV largely spreads “by large droplets of saliva or phlegm from one person to another…or by contact”.
Source
They cited studies which explain how the droplets spread further in cold and dry air.
From there, they extrapolate that warmer temperature and higher humidity could threaten the survival of the virus.
Coronavirus spread in S’pore due to “intensive use of air-con”
How is the coronavirus still spreading in Singapore with our hot and humid weather, you may ask?
Source
Well, the doctors claim that back in 2003, SARS spread extensively in Hong Kong and Singapore because of our “intensive use of air-conditioning”.
Considering how the Wuhan coronavirus cases so far have surfaced in enclosed, air-conditioned spaces like hotels, shops, and airplanes, their reasoning seems feasible.
Hope the warmer weather will spell the end of the coronavirus
As encouraging as their suppositions may be, they are still only guesses.
According to CNA, SARS’ disappearance coincided with the northern summer of 2003, after which the virus never resurfaced as strongly.

By this reference alone, we’re hopeful the same will happen with the 2019-nCoV.
Sadly, May is still about three months away, so the waiting time is a little long. Let’s hope researchers can find a cure till then, so we can stop the virus once and for all.

Aircon is re-cycled air,,,what is needed is more efficient filters,,,and to keep clean and dry,,,dont be hot and sweaty and go into aircon,,sure get fucked upYes, air-con could well be the reason. So need to turn them off!!!
