  5. The Pap are changing their tune every day. People are confused. Friends that are adamant not to wear mask earlier are now hunting for mask. I told them no point now. Just bear with it and hope for the best. Masks are not available anymore. Being kumgong they will not think bad of the policy because the FUD on oppos by the Pap is very strong.

  7. i alrdy warned mid last mth that the containment measures r not effective based on the simple infection modeling but moh dont notice me. now, based on this newest development, the modeling now has to be based on giving a higher weighting to population density and traffic movement since infection reproduction rate is no longer the sole determining factor. my guesstimate will be at least 3k b4 there is any improvement.

  20. SINGAPORE - In the light of the evolving coronavirus situation in Singapore, the Government on Saturday (March 28) advised the public to avoid non-essential trips to malls and stay at home. Requesting the public to take safe distancing seriously, the advisory sent via the Gov.sg WhatsApp channel said the public should visit malls only for essential goods such as food, and keep at least a distance of one metre from others. Singaporeans are also advised to buy food and groceries online and reduce physical interaction, which is critical to curb local transmission of the virus. Malls and supermarkets have implemented safe distancing measures to regulate the flow of people and limit the spread of the virus. The public should also expect queues, especially during peak hours, the advisory said. Foreign workers and foreign domestic workers are advised to remain at their residence on their rest days and avoid gathering in public spaces or visiting crowded spaces during this period. The Ministry of Health announced 49 new confirmed Covid-19 cases in Singapore on Friday, including a new cluster involving three people working at a packet-processing facility at SingPost Centre in Eunos. The new cases bring the total number in Singapore to 732. A total of 183 have recovered, with another 11 being discharged on Friday. Of the 432 still in hospital, most are stable or improving, while 17 are in critical care. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/coronavirus-govt-advises-public-to-stay-home-avoid-going-to-malls-to-curb-local

  28. Singapore reports third death from COVID-19 SINGAPORE: A third patient has died in Singapore from complications due to COVID-19 infection on Sunday (Mar 29), the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a press release. The patient, a 70 year-old male Singapore citizen with no recent travel history to affected countries and regions, died at 12.12pm. He was admitted to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) on Feb 29, and was confirmed to have COVID-19 infection on Mar 2. He had been cared for in the intensive care unit (ICU) since then, said MOH. The patient developed serious complications and eventually died due to the infection after 27 days in the ICU. He had a history of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, the ministry added. SGH has reached out to his family and is extending assistance to them, said MOH. The patient's profile matches that of case 109, which was first reported by MOH on Mar 3. Case 109 had reported onset of symptoms on Feb 25 and sought treatment at a general practitioner (GP) clinic on Feb 27 and Feb 28. When he went to SGH on Feb 29, he was immediately isolated. Test results confirmed COVID-19 infection on Mar 2 afternoon. efore he was admitted, he had worked at Fish Mart Sakuraya at 154 West Coast Road, but had not served customers or handled food. He lived at Everton Park, MOH had said. Singapore had previously reported two deaths - a 75-year-old Singaporean woman and 64-year-old Indonesian man - from complications due to COVID-19 on Mar 21. On Saturday, 70 new cases of COVID-19 were reported, bringing the total number of cases to 802. At 11.59pm on Thursday, stricter regulations came into effect introducing jail terms and fines for individuals, event organisers and owners of premises who flout safe-distancing measures, as stipulated by the COVID-19 multi-ministry taskforce. Under the new measures, gatherings outside of work or school have to be limited to 10 people, who must maintain 1m distance from each other. On Saturday, authorities advised people to stay home and only head to a mall for essentials, such as food, adding that food and groceries can be purchased online. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/coronavirus-covid19-third-death-singapore-coronavirus-12587178 uncle RIP

  34. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/not-wearing-masks-protect-against-coronavirus-big-mistake-top-chinese-scientist-says# Not wearing masks to protect against coronavirus is a ‘big mistake,’ top Chinese scientist says By Jon CohenMar. 27, 2020 , 6:15 PM Chinese scientists at the front of that country’s outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not been particularly accessible to foreign media. Many have been overwhelmed trying to understand their epidemic and combat it, and responding to media requests, especially from journalists outside of China, has not been a top priority. Science has tried to interview George Gao, director-general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for 2 months. Last week he responded. Gao oversees 2000 employees—one-fifth the staff size of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—and he remains an active researcher himself. In January, he was part of a team that did the first isolation and sequencing of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19. He co-authored two widely read papers published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) that provided some of the first detailed epidemiology and clinical features of the disease, and has published three more papers on COVID-19 in The Lancet. His team also provided important data to a joint commission between Chinese researchers and a team of international scientists, organized by the World Health Organization (WHO), that wrote a landmark report after touring the country to understand the response to the epidemic. First trained as a veterinarian, Gao later earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of Oxford and did postdocs there and at Harvard University, specializing in immunology and virology. His research specializes in viruses that have fragile lipid membranes called envelopes—a group that includes SARS-CoV-2—and how they enter cells and also move between species. Gao answered Science’s questions over several days via text, voicemails, and phone conversations. This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. Q: What can other countries learn from the way China has approached COVID-19? A: Social distancing is the essential strategy for the control of any infectious diseases, especially if they are respiratory infections. First, we used “nonpharmaceutical strategies,” because you don’t have any specific inhibitors or drugs and you don’t have any vaccines. Second, you have to make sure you isolate any cases. Third, close contacts should be in quarantine: We spend a lot of time trying to find all these close contacts, and to make sure they are quarantined and isolated. Fourth, suspend public gatherings. Fifth, restrict movement, which is why you have a lockdown, the cordon sanitaire in French. Q: The lockdown in China began on 23 January in Wuhan and was expanded to neighboring cities in Hubei province. Other provinces in China had less restrictive shutdowns. How was all of this coordinated, and how important were the “supervisors” overseeing the efforts in neighborhoods? A: You have to have understanding and consensus. For that you need very strong leadership, at the local and national level. You need a supervisor and coordinator working with the public very closely. Supervisors need to know who the close contacts are, who the suspected cases are. The supervisors in the community must be very alert. They are key. Q: What mistakes are other countries making? A: The big mistake in the U.S. and Europe, in my opinion, is that people aren’t wearing masks. This virus is transmitted by droplets and close contact. Droplets play a very important role—you’ve got to wear a mask, because when you speak, there are always droplets coming out of your mouth. Many people have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections. If they are wearing face masks, it can prevent droplets that carry the virus from escaping and infecting others. Q: What about other control measures? China has made aggressive use of thermometers at the entrances to stores, buildings, and public transportation stations, for instance. A: Yes. Anywhere you go inside in China, there are thermometers. You have to try to take people’s temperatures as often as you can to make sure that whoever has a high fever stays out. And a really important outstanding question is how stable this virus is in the environment. Because it’s an enveloped virus, people think it’s fragile and particularly sensitive to surface temperature or humidity. But from both U.S. results and Chinese studies, it looks like it’s very resistant to destruction on some surfaces. It may be able to survive in many environments. We need to have science-based answers here. Q: People who tested positive in Wuhan but only had mild disease were sent into isolation in large facilities and were not allowed to have visits from family. Is this something other countries should consider? A: Infected people must be isolated. That should happen everywhere. You can only control COVID-19 if you can remove the source of the infection. This is why we built module hospitals and transformed stadiums into hospitals. Q: There are many questions about the origin of the outbreak in China. Chinese researchers have reported that the earliest case dates back to 1 December 2019. What do you think of the report in the South China Morning Post that says data from the Chinese government show there were cases in November 2019, with the first one on 17 November? A: There is no solid evidence to say we already had clusters in November. We are trying to better understand the origin. Q: Wuhan health officials linked a large cluster of cases to the Huanan seafood market and closed it on 1 January. The assumption was that a virus had jumped to humans from an animal sold and possibly butchered at the market. But in your paper in NEJM, which included a retrospective look for cases, you reported that four of the five earliest infected people had no links to the seafood market. Do you think the seafood market was a likely place of origin, or is it a distraction—an amplifying factor but not the original source? A: That’s a very good question. You are working like a detective. From the very beginning, everybody thought the origin was the market. Now, I think the market could be the initial place, or it could be a place where the virus was amplified. So that’s a scientific question. There are two possibilities. Q: China was also criticized for not sharing the viral sequence immediately. The story about a new coronavirus came out in The Wall Street Journal on 8 January; it didn’t come from Chinese government scientists. Why not? A: That was a very good guess from The Wall Street Journal. WHO was informed about the sequence, and I think the time between the article appearing and the official sharing of the sequence was maybe a few hours. I don’t think it’s more than a day. Q: But a public database of viral sequences later showed that the first one was submitted by Chinese researchers on 5 January. So there were at least 3 days that you must have known that there was a new coronavirus. It’s not going to change the course of the epidemic now, but to be honest, something happened about reporting the sequence publicly. A: I don’t think so. We shared the information with scientific colleagues promptly, but this involved public health and we had to wait for policymakers to announce it publicly. You don’t want the public to panic, right? And no one in any country could have predicted that the virus would cause a pandemic. This is the first noninfluenza pandemic ever. Q: It wasn’t until 20 January that Chinese scientists officially said there was clear evidence of human-to-human transmission. Why do you think epidemiologists in China had so much difficulty seeing that it was occurring? A: Detailed epidemiological data were not available yet. And we were facing a very crazy and concealed virus from the very beginning. The same is true in Italy, elsewhere in Europe, and the United States: From the very beginning scientists, everybody thought: “Well, it’s just a virus.” Q: Spread in China has dwindled to a crawl, and the new confirmed cases are mainly people entering the country, correct? A: Yes. At the moment, we don’t have any local transmission, but the problem for China now is the imported cases. So many infected travelers are coming into China. Q: But what will happen when China returns to normal? Do you think enough people have become infected so that herd immunity will keep the virus at bay? A: We definitely don’t have herd immunity yet. But we are waiting for more definitive results from antibody tests that can tell us how many people really have been infected. Q: So what is the strategy now? Buying time to find effective medicines? A: Yes—our scientists are working on both vaccines and drugs. Q: Many scientists consider remdesivir to be the most promising drug now being tested. When do you think clinical trials in China of the drug will have data? A: In April. Q: Have Chinese scientists developed animal models that you think are robust enough to study pathogenesis and test drugs and vaccines? A: At the moment, we are using both monkeys and transgenic mice that have ACE2, the human receptor for the virus. The mouse model is widely used in China for drug and vaccine assessment, and I think there are at least a couple papers coming out about the monkey models soon. I can tell you that our monkey model works. Q: What do you think of President Donald Trump referring to the new coronavirus as the “China virus” or the “Chinese virus”? A: It’s definitely not good to call it the Chinese virus. The virus belongs to the Earth. The virus is our common enemy—not the enemy of any person or country.

  35. @HarrisY 2. Have sex with people close to you. •You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex. •If you usually meet your sex partners online or make a living by having sex, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Video dates, sextingor chat rooms may be options for you. @ManOfTheHour 3. Take care during sex. •Rimming (mouth on anus)might spread COVID-19.Virus in feces may enter your mouth. •Condoms and dental damscan reduce contact with saliva or feces, especially during oral or anal sex
