Shit or not shit,

 

Why not stock up non-perishable items if you have the space in your home?

 

I always keep a sizable stock of food, household products.  They won't be cheaper in the future than they are now. 

My house can burn down, yes.  But I can become suddenly disabled, or some catastrophe can make moving around the city impossible.

I have plenty of beans, lentils, tomato cans, fish cans, drinkable water, and other non-perishable food that I can easily survive for over a month without missing anything vital.

The only thing I don't have yet and I would like to get is a reserve of energy.  Maybe I'll get some solar panels so that if electricity is down I will at least be able to run my computer. Or if short term electricity shortage becomes common, which is now very rare,  I'll get a generator and some good containers full of gas...  to stay comfortable in summer with air conditioning

Last time SARs, Singapore population still manageable. 

 

Forward 17 years later, Singapore is now nearly 6 million people. Cannot blame the people for worrying of not getting enough to sustain. 

 

Next time 10 million people.  I forsee...dooms day if another weird virus discovered again. 

 

Which is why now every vote counts if we want to safe this country.

Seeing pictures that my friends in Singapore send me of empty supermarket shelves and long queues of people waiting to buy face masks at Mustafa make me wonder what’s the point of having this strong, authoritarian and paternalistic government when we can’t even keep calm in the face of an epidemic that will kill far fewer people than pneumonia does every year. And those people who claim we are calmer and better than the Hongkongers in responding rationally to this crisis can go shove it up their ass. And those PAP IBs who claim to be bolstering trust in the government are clearly quite useless except in sucking up. They are no different from the petty functionaries in Wuhan telling their bosses that all is well while covering up an impending crisis. And what use is POFMA when people are entirely capable of scaring themselves even without fake news? For once, I would like to see the PAP government be honest and acknowledge that they have a trust deficit and a serious crisis comms problem.

Actually I have a simple piece of advice to stop this nonsense once and for all. Allow, even encourage, the supermarkets to raise prices in response to the surges in demand. I guarantee you the panic buying will stop right away.

If that fails and we are indeed out of toilet paper, there’s always the local newspapers you can use.

Believe in yourself.  Be proud to be a gay and have the opportunity to make changes in this world, even if it is by one vote at the time. There will come a time when gays will have a voice in Singapore.  Societies are starting to realize how wrong they were by bashing LGBTQs, and how much they gain by accepting us.

I can no longer count on our society who prefer status quo. Given up on hopeless people who never like changes.

Donald Trump's speeches are very profound and intellectual:

 

"Fuck the Democrats,  fuck the Latinos, fuck Mitt Romney, fuck Nancy Pelosi, I am innocent, I am the greatest,  I am superior, I am divine".

Improvisations over the above basic clauses can easily fill 1.5 hours.

And you think pelosi behaviour is acceptable? DT didn't use "I" but "we" referring to the American people. He cares for American. Ours only care about economy while health and safety of our People often placed at the back seat.  

[Guest Guest]

Why need to stock up toilet rolls?

Can just use water what!

 

 

[chubbiz]

To me I find it started because of "If you are well, dont wear mask". this contradict logic and common sense. By wearing mask even though you are well is for precautions. 

 

With that type of slogan and stock out at all places for mask, it doesnt give general public the feeling of safe which in turn leads to this..

 

[Guest Guest]

I think things are getting serious. You can live for months without masks when every masks fly off the shelves. How long can you last without food when everything flies off the shelves?

I think it is not serious as ppl think it is. It look serious when ppl starts panicking. Alternatively, we got food from our neighbour countries. I havent hear anything from neighbour countries yet.

If things get worse you can take a bus to Malaysia (KL or less congested places) where people are not so panicky and stock on dense non-perishable foods, like legumes (beans and lentils), dry pasta, canned fish, dried fruit, peanut butter, chocolate.

When you see all the shelves of food all swiped out, you tell me serious or not? We are also supposed to have masks from our neighbors countries who makes them. Where are the masks now? 

 

Not that I'm encourage hoarding. But who's going to feed you when you can't get the food from the shops? The government with its "stockpile" of food? 

[Guest Irrationality from fear]

Latest News:
The CoV has mutated to affect human brain 

Symptoms:
The reported symptoms include immediate alarming drop of IQ to zero, lack of judgment, rush to stock of supplies like toilet paper and instant noodles. (This symptom is the same as rush for Hello Kitty a few years ago).  This symptom may appear immediately. There is no incubation period. 

The new CoV is spread by WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram from person to person contacts. There is no known cure. The infected will die from stupidity.
 

There is a virus greater than SARS, H1NI, H5N1, Corona etc. 

FEAR. 

 

Oh its infectious. And it spreads so rapidly. Had it been measured against the DORSCON, we would have reached Red level by now. 

 

One of the first symptoms is panic. It shuts down the ability for rational thinking and raises the tendencies for impulsive reactiveness. It limits the ability to process authenticated infomation against unauthenticated infomation. Individually it induces anxiety, stress, nervousness, jitters. Collectively it can lead to shortages, scarcity, inflation on prices of essentials, wastages, chaos, individualism, kiasuism, widespread suspicion and distrust and in the long run maybe even social degeneration/disintigration.  It is a disease that once seeped into the weaving of the social and community fabrics, it takes time to recover. 

It has through history been used as a tool for warfare, politics, competition, manipulation, opportunism, unethical commercial gains and more. 

 

Fear that is well managed can protect us. I do believe that is infact one of the key reasons why we have the ability to feel it to begin with. But when aggravated and amplified, fabricated fear mongering through fake news and irresponsible rumour spreading, it can instigate populations to behave in manners undentifiable even to themselves and could eventually become harmful if not destructive. 

 

So friends, do put a leash on this fear to quarentine it, contain it, place a mask over it so you do not spread it to others, glove yourself with courage, and run some alcohol (swabs) over the infomation you receive and share to disinfect the fake news and authenticate the truth. 

 

Do not stock up more than you need. Let us ensure we do not stress supplies of medical essentials like masks and gloves that those who are unwell and frontline medical warriors truly need, or alcohol swabs that diabetics really need or milk powders and diapers that babies rely on coz they cannot eat and make do with something else or ration and supplies that the less well to do amongst us will not be able to stock up at one go and be left to make do without while the excesses expire and rot in our homes just to give us a temporary sense of false security. 

Lets be gracious. Lets be mindful. Lets be rationale in this fight against FEAR. We beat fear, we will beat everything else. Together we can overcome.

These selfish prcs are snatching so much food, I was at the supermarket earlier. They think this is their China country where everyone behave ungraciously. Seriously I'm ashamed of being a Chinese but I'm not a China Chinese. I hope all the Caucasians better see what kind of Chinese are these people, not us. 

 

My vote is such a small voice, and we need much more votes to make a difference and be like the past. As we all know, single gays can never buy a bto 3,4 5room flat here. Being gay is hard enough in society yet they still make it harder. Wish I was born straight... 

you always need to put your hatred against others and in particular foreigners.

You always need to provoke.
 

Yesterday, I was at a Fairprice around 10pm and the shoppers seemed very fellow Singaporeans to me. Only very very  few Mainland Chinese There were long queues and some Singaporean couples  with 3 (yes 3) big trollies.
 

 I received plenty of WhatsApp messages from Singaporeans spreading news about empty shelves at supermarkets and asking to stock up on groceries starting around 6pm yesterday.

Blaming PRCs in Singapore for being the ones hoarding food and emptying shelves at Shops is just xenophobic.

 

Stop spreading unjustified wrongs and hatred.

 

If you find a chance to post your hatred you will do it, justified or not. 

 

 I would be more ashamed of fellow Singaporeans like you.

If they don't allow us to go to work soon maybe, and we need to stay at home all the time, what you wanna do besides fucking. That's why condoms sold...

Sure, in Malaysia they don't need to run to the shops and empty the shelves. The Malaysian malay will just stay at their kampong house and pick the fruits from the trees in the garden. Rambutan, Mango, Banana, Longan, Duku, Durian....  go with fishing boat to sea, catch fish, then do Ikan bakar at home... easy.

 

Yep, we gave up on all this in Singapore....

This is not the first time we have such an outbreak. Do you see Singaporeans hoarding food this way in the SARS outbreak and the bird flu outbreak in the 2000s? No, we never had such a precedence. Even during the bird flu epidemic when the entire Singapore ran out of eggs, we just make do with the situation, and at most complain somewhat. SARS was even more serious but nobody went to the supermarket to hoard food. N95 masks were in short supply then, but you can still find them at expensive prices or obscure places.

 

Why are you blaming Singaporeans now? Why call citizens ugly Singaporeans? Is everything the fault of Singaporeans now? We all had those peaceful situations before the foreigners came in. What changed now? It was the foreigners who started the hoarding before everyone started getting worried about our food supply. If Singaporeans is to be blamed, it is because we used our votes and allowed them to come in. If citizens are the ugly Singaporean, then you are the blind ones.

That’s silly, there are actually finger gloves, can buy one pack with hundreds of them at a much cheaper rate and fit so much better, but one of the main problem is people keep touching their orifices after touching contaminated surfaces whether gloved or not.

True. And you can even cut off the five finger covers of a disposable glove and have the equivalent finger-coverage of five condoms.

And, who knows,  can one use these cut offs from the glove as condoms?  For those endowed small?
