"What you need to know about additional precautionary measures under DORSCON Orange"
and
"No need to rush for supplies, says Chan Chun Sing, amid reports of surge in demand"
Well the Diseases Outbreaks Responses System CONdition (DORSCON) has gone to Orange fr Yellow.
It means we need to take MORE precautionary actions to prevent the spread of this 2019nCoV like:
1. postpone or cancel non-essential mass meetings;
2. take temperature, screen attendants on travel history, wear masks, sanitised hands, etc. etc.
It doesn't mean: Go panics mode n go buy up a year of daily essentials as we will b out-of-stock of these stuffs tomorrow!!
Maybe I m a bit thick n slow as I m still hoping the 2 critically illed patients will recovered even when the confirmed cases hv gone to 33 fr 28!! N that the rest r stable n improving!
2 of the biggest retailers, NTUC Fairprice n Sheng Shiong, r pro-gov n the other in Sgp r all very law abiding n it is very unlikely they will b engaging in profiteering acts. Will Sgp runs out of the daily essential? unlikely in the next 6mths, by which time this 2019nCoV epidemic would b blown over as temperatures rises n the virus can't survive!! That's my best scenario.
I don't hv a worst scenario as it won't happen!!
