I just saw a Chinese man standing outside that flat as I walked past it just now while coming home. He was standing nearer to the railings and was watching the construction of the condo on the opposite side of the road in front. He was waiting for someone or something. There was a trolley at the door and there were 2 boxes wrapped tightly in clear wrapper. They were sealed with thick yellow tape with the words "SECURITY" all over.

One of our neighbours confirmed that an indian man living in that unit was escorted into the ambulance. Some of my neighbours are saying that they will take the lift to the sixth floor and then walk up to their floor instead. (our lift serves only the 1st, 6th and 11th) I think they are a wee bit too paranoid. Not everyone who gets sent to TTSH in an ambulance is confirmed to have sars. I mean, had my fever gone up to 38 last week, I would have been escorted to TTSH in an ambulance too, and it wouldn't mean that I have sars. Still ,it's good to be cautious. Now my neightbours will actually have a little bottle of disinfectant spray with them all the time and they will squirt some on the lift buttons before using them.
