lookner According to the Daily Mail, Chinese citizens suspected of being infected are being removed by their homes.

lookner If the driver gets infected what about the next passenger in the car? If we haven't found these passengers they could be spreading disease right now and nobody can find them

Ohshit expecting more in the coming days since many of them came out of their cave to go ntuc and buy 30 packets of tissue rolls. Already so many people all at one place..

'MOH said it is working with the Ministry of Transport to reach out to all taxi and private-hire drivers on the steps they should take to protect themselves.' Shouldn't that be done before it happens? Govt only does smth when shit hits the fan. Lame

Yeah... and mrt track maintenance is prioritized more than public safety. The mass crowd for the AMK shuttle to Canberra due to closing of stations for track maintenance is uncalled for!

Ok this is getting very serious.

transmission to the drivers? wouldnt public transportation be a transmission ground as well then? especially during the rush hours?

Last May before i fly to UK , i went for a flu jab , its for H1N5 vaccines , hearsay this vaccines can protect a bit from 2019-nCoV , if scared , go to your GP ask for one jab lor

Taxi uncles and PHV uncles cannot escape one , they were prepared to collect the $100 a day allowance without work LOL ....
