22:16 "Get one of these hygiene hooks" -> 22:21 *immediately uses bare hands to touch the hook that just had contact with elevator button* LOL! But otherwise, great video!!

Yes lmaooooo hahaha

22:21 he TOUCHED his hygiene HOOK after using it to press elevator buttons!!! Bahahahahaha 🤣😅🤣😂🤣😂

Your phone hass 500 to 1000, but that is your own germs. The grab pole has 105, that is a combination of other people's germs. Can't compare directly.

should have collected samples and tested when phase 2 opened and busses are crowded lol. And i laughed when i saw the groups of ppl cleaning the train ..they are all using the same cloth throughout! hahaha

I took a bus in Singapore and found that people can board the bus via the front door where the driver is seated. However, during my holiday in Switzerland and I travelled 2-3 days before the EU was about to go into lockdown (that time, the South of Switzerland, which borders Italy, was already in lockdown), and when I took the local tram system, people cannot enter the front door, in fact, they cannot take any seats near the driver. So they can enter via either the back door or the midway of the vehicle

Why is this Dr Leong and Steven not wearing mask inside the office and they standing quite close to each other? .... This is so disturbing ok.

[@afandidarmanegara9895]

Exactly. I don't know what's in his mind. He said that he is concerned about the health risk when using public transportation, but he is not afraid of talking to a doctor which has higher chances of catching virus while taking care of his patients. Where is the logic in that?

[@lebambalesheeshmerchant709]

how about the fact that firstly this is a television show and that they probably took ART tests before the shoot? it's not like they are not the only one doing that? it's a standard for all face-to-face meetings with no masks, to have prior pre-event testing with negative results

What do you think I have not been catching public transport since March? I don't think I'm being paranoid, I think I'm being sensible by avoiding any public transport to lessen my risk of catching Covid.

[@smacky2001]

more exhaust in public transport and building so the virus won't linger and help lessen infection. surgical mask is not n95 and will not help you that much with the virus. but will help decrease the spread in case you have it. kudos to singapore gov for its 1st class action against the virus compare to other countries

@@bobafett5757 if everyone had taken the temperature checkup, clear of Corona, and is not in the infected list (sg recently have an app to alert you if u are near a covid 19 positive person) do you think wearing a mask is nessacary? Sure it will protect u from 1 of infinity chance to get the virus but unless u failed your math that is practically 0 chance for u to get it.

[@hcm9999]

Disinfecting surfaces may be useless because those surfaces are usually clean. Surfaces where a lot of people touch frequently are usually cleaned by the touching itself. Any viruses that may be on the surface will be transferred to the people's hands, so after a certain number of people touching that surface, the surface will be eventually clean of viruses. Such surfaces are usually free of dust and shining exactly because of the high number of people touching those surfaces.

[@grisly-bear585]

Speaking like an expert without tangible evidence. Even if the germs were 'wiped' off the pole there will be still some of the virus particles left on the pole. This is because our hands aren't automatic sanitizing devices.

[@hcm9999]

@@grisly-bear585 If a large number of people touch exactly the same surface, eventually that surface will be completely clean of viruses. Besides, the virus is not able to survive on surfaces for long. Even without people touching the surface, after a few hours the surface would naturally become clean.
