Ya I don’t think there’s any room cleaning at all. Probably u can only get fresh towels from housekeeping dept that’s all.


That’s why last time got some quarantine hotels had cockroach problem. Imagine some people eat potato chips & drop the crumbs on the bed, carpet & left there for 14 days. Sure got pests come and eat…

So far it seems like the HBL is a lot more intense this year (primary). I thought last year had some SLS lessons, printouts to do, and actual lesson every few days. This year seems like lesson every day according to the timetable.

Glad they are learning and staying engaged. Kids and teachers are definitely more equipped for it. Downside is infront of screen from 8 AM well into the afternoon...

I think it depends on the age/schooling level of the child as well. Cos this year DS P5 so there’s more serious academic stuff to do. DS has been assigned online CL activities plus continue do activity book...EMS doing SA1 mock papers (which I assume would have been done in school if HBL hadn’t kicked in). Marking and corrections would probably be next week.

I heard the lower primary kids got nothing much to do. Still honeymoon.

I gave DS screen break every half hour, and a soothing eye mask at the end of each day. It’s really bad for their eyes. We just do OTOT and ignore any so-called deadlines.

Can’t wait for June holidays to start.

Next week is a short week, last week of Term 2,
then June school holiday start, because

1)

Wednesday (26 may) is public holiday (Vesak day), no HBL.


2)

Friday (28 May) :

some schools are having PTC (Parents Teacher Conference), since Friday is the last day of Term 2. So, no HBL for these schools

Good time to teach kids to eat neatly and clear up! I think you can probably request a broom or a vacuum cleaner from the staff?

One good thing about SHN (to me) would be that food is provided - no need to shop, cook, clear up!

I am curious to know if B1617.2 is in the community other than the changi airport clusters and if yes, how did they get them? Not sure if this is reported in the press.

Now a mall can be closed; wonder what else to be closed soon.

Once spread into local community, very hard to control !
It is so important to guard our borders, VERY TIGHTLY !

Consequences ?

All front-lined staff,
all obedient Singaporeans and PRs who \"guai guai\" wear masks faithfully to protect ourselves wherever we go, and protect our families & practise social distancing :
All are affected !


Be mentally prepared that

there could be CB (2)

or


HBL extended, even when Term 3 July school Term start.

So many businesses, taxi drivers, etc are suffering !!!

In recent weeks, the prevalent strain for many of our community cases is B1617.2 which originated from India.

Phylogenetic testing has shown this B1617.2 variant to be associated with several clusters in Singapore.

The investigations showed that the Airport defences were breached after one airport worker helped a family from South Asia on 29th April. The said family was subsequently tested positive for B1617 during their quarantine and the local airport worker was identified as the likely origin of the Changi Airport cluster.

But hor, the TTSH nurse was confirmed to have contracted the B1617.2 strain on 27th April (she may or may not be the index patient of TTSH cluster), so the South Asian strain could have already been in our community way before 29th April ?!

Not forgetting the ICA staff who reported sick on 26th April, thus, before 29th April, our community already has the South Asian variant spreading silently.
