Must lives be lost before the government can take any action?

We have seen too many of this cases in a mere 43 year of Singapore history. From so many areas we can witness this for ourselves. Barriers on the MRT, implementation of seat belts on school bus, SARS incident (closing school only AFTER 1 person died from it. )

History is bound to repeat itself, but i hope i would'nt. Close school for 1 week isnt going to hurt. It's only A week, nothing is going to harm society as much as the virus.

If so much measures are already taken and the numbers are still increasing by 20-30 everyday, it would be much worse if school reopens. Great job Lee.
