Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

Recent 1-2 decades, many mainland Chinese came to Singapore and many became PRs/ citizens, these folks go to China (may be Wuhan :scream:) and back. As I pointed out in another post, Singapore is a global city and a busy business hub. Can’t afford to create fear by telling people to wear masks. Singapore mitigates the risk of higher number of cases by rigorous contact tracing.

HK is even more of a global city and financial hub. It also has 30% more people than SG.

That’s already a red flag.

You’re fond of making counter-intuitive dramatic statement.

Are you sure? Do you mean before the protest? AFAIK, nobody :scream: roam the street after the protests started.

90%+ ppl in hk wear facemasks, don’t tell me you didn’t send any back a month ago

Wife did send some but my folks in HK were early birds in panicking. :smile:

Not counter intuitive at all. People with PhDs who end up in teaching are mostly bookworms lacking practical applications in the real world.

Insulting your professors? Their biggest problem is they don’t know how to organize the necessary resources and navigate the obstacles to get a project done. Many of them don’t seem to understand people :slight_smile:

US can now test 16k patients a day. We are ramping up! :muscle:

Look at the numbers. The Fed govt dropped the ball on this. Almost all the testing is coming from state and private orgs (with half from California)

Your Supreme Leader Mr. Lee said no need for folks to wear masks. You should listen to him and give us your stockpile.

i’ll buy it. who’s selling?

Yes I know. But US response is always gonna be led by private enterprises even if we had another guy as president. I expect the private sector to really step the eff up big time now.

Hospital beds are expensive by nature. There’s all the staff, equipment, etc. The cost of having so many hospital beds is shared by everyone paying taxes. It seems the healthcare spend per person should be much higher. I’m curious how they keep cost per person so low with so much care in the most expensive setting.

I never did.

Neither did I.

here’s the flu
