What are the lessons that could be learnt from working at the COVID-19 quarantine zones?

Doctor's Answer

Something about what Raymond said about the (circuit breaker). When we are in the circuit breaker, we’re at home, we find it very inconvenient. But when we go out to the dorms, we go out to the sites, we see with our own eyes that it’s the weekday but everything’s so quiet. Everything’s shut down. There’s nobody walking around, there’s nobody working. And then we can see, my goodness, the impact on our economy. We’d always see the numbers later, you have already seen some of the numbers, but I’m sure the numbers will be bad. The contagiousness is -- the virus doesn't choose. It doesn’t choose (based on) how rich you are, how poor you are, what colour is your race, which country you’re from. They don’t choose. It doesn’t mean the circuit breaker starts tomorrow means the virus will only start infecting people tomorrow, or something like that. All that is nonsense. If you’re not careful, if you don’t take infection control properly, and social distancing (seriously), then you might end up getting the virus and spreading it to your loved ones.
