Migrants from third world countries coming here to work also add to the easy spread of TB here.

Previously, we had an Indonesian maid who was infected.
The whole family had to go to TB centre at Moulmein Road for check up. Luckily we were alright.
阿弥陀佛。

Now a lot of people cough because of Covid and its variants. The coughing lasts very long even many days after you have recovered. The earlier versions of the virus result in a shorter coughing time frame.
