This is my own personal opinion about masks. Singkieland should follow nip land n Hongkie land in which masks are worn often n when going out due to dusts, smog, pollution etc. And also in singkieland there is always construction n renovations etc in the mall, met shops etc. And the health and safety in singkieland is appalling.
Contractors cut n grind concrete etc n no dust mitigation procedures. So the passers by just breath in the crap...so a face mask will help. Also flu virus spread bcos hands touch the nose. Wearing a mask means u r not touching yr face directly. N of course wash hands more often. Soap n water is good enough.
It's not in singkie habit to wear mask so there is no stock at home. When the wuhan virus was announced the typical fuckein attitude of Kia su, kia see, Kiam siap n die dont want face attitude sets in and all rush to go and buy etc. If singkies were prepared. They would have at least 1 month stock at home. Have 6 boxes. And when its reduced to 3. Replenish again. If this was followed the run on the masks will be more bearable. In addition singkieland should have it's own production facilities for face masks etc. It should be treated like fuel. Have a strategic reserve. But I think pap was caught off guard again
