[4:27 pm, 07/06/2020] : press release said that the evidence suggests that they were likely infected during the Circuit Breaker period, and not after school re-opening, so thankfully they didn't get from their peers in school

Alvin
[4:41 pm, 07/06/2020] : Respiratory infection is one of the last symptoms for covid
Leonard Lau
[4:43 pm, 07/06/2020] : But thru testing does not mean these students tested negative are immune
[4:43 pm, 07/06/2020] : Difficult situation
[4:49 pm, 07/06/2020] : Very puzzle. CNA reporter that they are unlikely infected during school reopen, likely during CB period. In this case, does the family members need to go for testing and SHQ? Contact tracing? Another new community cluster?
[4:49 pm, 07/06/2020] : Somewhere got -1, the other side has to be +1
Leonard Lau
[4:50 pm, 07/06/2020] : They had symptom before on 2nd Jun so it is most likely they got it before end of CB
[4:51 pm, 07/06/2020] : So family need to be shq?
[4:51 pm, 07/06/2020] : Any further contact tracing from the family outward? Is this a potential new clusters?
Leonard Lau
[4:51 pm, 07/06/2020] : Yes ..most likely .
[4:52 pm, 07/06/2020] : maybe the family are infected by asymptotic
[4:52 pm, 07/06/2020] : But *
Stanley
[4:52 pm, 07/06/2020] : Probably a cover up by MOE .......

Leonard Lau
[4:53 pm, 07/06/2020] : How do you deduce it is a cover up ?
Stanley

[4:53 pm, 07/06/2020] : Maybe PM speech need to reword liao
Leonard Lau
[4:53 pm, 07/06/2020] : Yes .. most likely parents might in contacts with infected assuming school children are always at home
[4:54 pm, 07/06/2020] : I ask if ‘probably’ .. what is the possible reason that make you think so ?
[4:54 pm, 07/06/2020] : Cover up is an integrity problem .

COVID-19: 5 cases in schools - low viral loads and likely infected during Circuit Breaker
Since 2 Jun, COVID-19 testing stepped up for all school staff and students older than 12 y/o with acute respiratory infection
5 cases confirmed
- From 5 different schools, not a cluster
- All cases displayed mild symptoms, with low viral loads
- Repeat tests using new samples showed all cases were negative
- Likely infected during circuit breaker, not after school re-opening
Affected schools
- Implementing precautionary measures, eg. spaced seating, wearing of masks
- All being cleaned and disinfected
- Contacts have been issued 14-day LOA or HQO (those on HQO will be swab tested)
Stay home & don’t go to school if unwell 🙏
- Do the same if any family member is unwell
Expect cases to be reported from time to time due to extensive testing regime. Those at risk will be quickly isolated

[4:59 pm, 07/06/2020] : Our helper just said she was going to meet her cousin, and asked if that was OK. Of course I said no, but made me realise that the message the CB is ended is confusing people because actaully not much has really changed. The phase 1,2,3 is also not communicated well to most people. How can we make it clear social interaction are still ow allowed, even though work and schools have opened and SD on PT has ended?
Stanley
[5:00 pm, 07/06/2020] : Very confusing and inconsistent
Leonard Lau
[5:00 pm, 07/06/2020] : Ok .. I just see how you would have make a statement like that .. apology if you felt intrusive
Bobby Tan
[5:01 pm, 07/06/2020] : Yes, the ended of CB is not so clear. Can we fetch our friends or relatives now? Many people actually wanted to know the answer.
Kevin

Leonard Lau

Bobby Tan
[5:02 pm, 07/06/2020] : I believe phase 2 may also have restrictions.
Ben
[5:02 pm, 07/06/2020] : It's likely people can test positive for several months, although not be contagious. We should expect to see cases as we go through phase 1. Not necessarily alarming.
Elena Woo

Blue and White Flag Guy
[5:05 pm, 07/06/2020] : People think end of CB means everything done

Rama
[5:29 pm, 07/06/2020] : Maybe true for some countries, where politicians exploit the people, but not on Singapore. In Cuba, the people love their country and see it as their own. That's the closest I've seen to what Singapore has compared to the rest of the world. In most places, people are at odds with the government and the police. Not here. Singapore is the people, the government and police and more. First country I've ever known that is truly "1 People", #sgunited

Actually, democracy one person one vote will throw out a government if the majority not happy.
During the 1960s, LKY can get the majority who many are not educated to support him.
What did he use?
He used the Heart to win over many hearts.
Once this is won, he use his wisdom with sound reasoning to win their votes.
Then he can practically win over the majority.
A government can govern if a government can win over the heart and mind of the people.
1. No corruption
2. Competent
3. The Heart must be in the right place.

All the speech.

[8:48 pm, 07/06/2020] : <Summary of PM Lee’s June 7 speech: Overcoming The Crisis of a Generation>
Covid-19 in S’pore
🔹 S’pore has made good progress in Covid-19 fight.
🔹 New community cases have dropped, dorm situation has stabilised, healthcare system is coping well, fatality rate is one of the lowest in the world.
🔹 Covid-19 will remain a problem for a long time. We will have to learn to live with it for the long term.
Economy has grounded to a halt
🔹 S’pore’s economy has taken a severe hit. GDP is likely to shrink between 4 and 7% this year.
🔹 S’pore has injected nearly S$100 billion to protect workers, households and companies.
🔹 These measures cannot shield us from tectonic shifts in global economy.
🔹 We will not be returning to the open and connected global economy anytime soon.
🔹 International travel and industries that depend on it (hotels, tourism) have been affected.
🔹 The next few years will be disruptive and difficult.
S’pore can be confident
🔹 But we will emerge stronger, better.
🔹 First, we can tap on our economic strengths (being connected to global flows of trade) to create new businesses and jobs.
🔹 S’pore’s stable political system has also earned us a trusted international reputation.
🔹 Second, we have a head start through Future Economy plans: Upgrading workers through SkillsFuture, digitalising private and public sectors, and building R&D capabilities.
🔹 Third, there are schemes to help S’poreans keep jobs or find new ones (e.g. Job Support Scheme, SGUnited Jobs, National Jobs Council).
Beyond Covid-19 and economic challenges
🔹 Externally, S’pore has to navigate tensions between China and U.S., support free trade and multilateralism, and enhance our influence in the world.
🔹 Domestically, we have to improve social safety nets and give every S’porean equal opportunities.
🔹 For S’pore to succeed, her people have to be united and resilient.
🔹 Many Singaporeans have stepped up during this crisis and showed us how we can emerge stronger.
🔹 Together, let us take Singapore safely through this crisis.
