TB used to be a dreaded disease in the 50s and 60s of Singapore. The whole neighbourhood would be in an uproar when a case was found. Then it was eradicated by rising standard of medicare, hygiene and control. TB was a thing of the past. Now Singaporeans can have a taste of what TB is all about. The careful and sensitive Singaporeans may be perturbed by this disease and start to worry about people coughing around them, especially in the same confined of aircon offices or in classrooms, maybe childcare centres, or in trains or in taxis or Grabs.
The experts and authority have come out to assure the public that there is nothing much to worry about. TB is not like Covid, cannot be easily transmitted. Using same utensils or toilet bowls did not pose high risk of infection. It is transmitted through the air, vapour droplets when the infected coughed or sneezed. Wearing of masks if not comfortable, I think, should be good enough. I think only ah. I am no expert.
Singaporeans are so lucky. Singapore is in good hands and have been kept safe from TB for several decades by the old guards. The old guards got rid of TB and Singaporeans have lived the past decades completely oblivious of TB. Tb is making a comeback, but not to worry. The new guards have them under control. What is 13 cases? And TB is not that infectious. Also reported Malaysia has a few hundred cases.
Singapore is very safe and very hygienic and in good hands. Everything is under control. Trust me. Oh, need to be more careful in choice of my holiday destinations, and the confines of aircraft. Better be careful where you travel to, or you will have to answer 'Yes' in your immigration entry card. Dunno what will happen after that.
