Huh? why pick on those not vac?
Is there a guarantee that those vac will not spread the virus?

and why market?
what about supermarket, minimart (NTUC , giant, SS etc)? people pick and choose fruits and vege also? on top of that what about those take and put back items?

If touching vegetables spread virus, then it is because people dun follow basic safety instruction. People are supposed to carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer around and clean hand when they touch any public things like lift buttons. Also dun touch face after mask on and wash yourself and clothings as soon as return home......... Rolleyes

I think it's not the touching of veges, but the squeezing of fish. Poke here and there to check freshness...hence covid spreads from fisheries to old folks.

Experts Kong jiao Wei. Like that better dun go out.

The same rules apply, wear good mask properly. Routinely disinfect hands. And do not touch eyes and nose till hands are properly disinfected.

If everyone follow these three rules, the experts will have no job. We do not need them.

 His only son was also crucified by us. Why did he allow that to happen?
