Bio Attack!
-
SG government sent few warning signals of real and present dangers
1.Now is showing Channel 8,10.30 pm,02 Jan 2007.
titled ''without Warning''Every Sunday 10.30 pm.
Terrorism. It's been a buzzword since the turn of the new century. What's worst: it's a real possibility.Going beyond pedestrian advice that are the stuff of common sense, this six-episode half-hour series dramatises three possible terrorism scenarios (a bomb and chemical attack on public transportation system, an attack on the national electrical grid and insidious but deadly bioterrorism) and look at their deep-seated impact on the nation and every Singaporean.
2.MRT TRAIN BLAST ---SO scary
When faced with terror, what should you do? Consisting of TV news footages as well as amateur video shot by civilians, this new series aims to portray each scenario as realistically as possible and educate every concerned Singaporean on what to do.
another scary message is the video clip shown in MRT station.
''terrorist'' planting a ''bomb'' in MRT carriages before
he use handphone to activate it ,when he is far away from the mrt.
'terrorist'' planting a ''bomb'' in MRT carriages .
He use handphone to activate it ,when he is far away from the mrt.
as taken fr film shown on MRT stations around 20 .09. 2006.
and the bomb really go off---so scary.
Another poster in MRT station shows an old time bomb hidden in bag just
make me laugh.The grand mum era bomb shall be
replaced by home made bomb or C4 to make it more
convincing.
there is another clip just show the trains blasts in Spain,London and
India recently and remind people here just be careful.It shows
a terrorist in MRT train walk away from his bags quickly despite
other passengers reminds him to take it.
Passengers pushed the red emerengency and talk to the drivers.
3.STOCK UP OF FOODS DURING PEACE TIME--NEVER HEARD BEFORE
sg govt breaks another world records by insert flyer in PUB bills
to ask every household to stock up 2 weeks of foods,
saying the foods will be useful if pple have to stay at home in an emergency.
,but the ministry of Trade and Industry did not specify what kind of emergency.
24.09.2006 Sunday Strait Times.page 9.
have u recalled any govt in history asks people to do this during
peace time? -
Can our SAF survive a first strike and retaliate in a biological and chemical war?

sorry double posting

we cant.... unlike our smarter northern neighbours... we signed the prohibition of biological and chemical weapons agreedment... binding us to NEVER possess any chemical and biological weapons...Originally posted by tankee1981:Can our SAF survive a first strike and retaliate in a biological and chemical war?
on the other hand.. other northern neighbour has repeatedly refused to sign such an agreedment .. and thus has the right to manufacture, store and even possibly use it.
even smart people sometimes make serious mistake.... -
No, what i meant is to retaliate in an chemical or biological battlefield with conventional means and not by chemical or biological warfare.Originally posted by tripwire:we cant.... unlike our smarter northern neighbours... we signed the prohibition of biological and chemical weapons agreedment... binding us to NEVER possess any chemical and biological weapons...

Fark it. Just nuke em.Originally posted by tankee1981:No, what i meant is to retaliate in an chemical or biological battlefield with conventional means and not by chemical or biological warfare.

whats the point?Originally posted by tankee1981:No, what i meant is to retaliate in an chemical or biological battlefield with conventional means and not by chemical or biological warfare.
by then all our familes would be dead if not dying...
like someone said... just nuke them... except that someone also signed the NPT treaty for singapore... so we cant nuke them either...
so... options?
well.. there is the leopard tank with NBC capability that would carry emperor LEE and Co... to our NBC capable AIP sub... which will send them to phillipine.. then take an SIA plane to USA... then hold a press meeting and ramble.. on and on ..

ok... i am bluffing... but it kinda tell you what could happen if we dont pay attention to wats happening around us...
lets restart...
biological weapons... generall classified as either virus or bacteria.... infection.. or the toxins produced by bacteria or other micro-organism.
1st.. there arent many virus and bacteria that is capable of mass infection with high mortality rate plus an appropriate period (about 2 weeks) of non-symptomatic infection.
lets just say its rather complicated....
bacteria however... can be treated with anti-biotics... although superbugs does exist that can resist ALL types of antibiotics.. but they are generally diseases seen in immunocompromised or deficiency patients... or simply suay patients..
bacteria's are generally easier to detect... and thus a weakness can be found given sufficient time.... within a week should be more then sufficient.
viruses... no treatment... i know... there are those acyclovir and blah blah blah... but we all knows its not really effective.. and they only works on certain virus...
dont talk too much.. wait sure kenna arrested by MSD.
viruses are hard to detect... you really need big facilities like electron microscope in NUS and Biohazard level 3 lab to handle them... kinda sucks..
ok.... enough technicallities... whats the bottom line?
bottomline is.. biological weapons kills everyone... we wont even need to retaliate.... singapore is a major global transport hub.. any country spreading viruses or bacteria in singapore would see them spread all over the world within 24 hours...
the consequences? do i need to say it out loud?... simple.. the country behind it.. gets nuked and vaporised by every nation on earth....
how about chemical and biotoxins? well... i dont want to bored everyone with technical stuffs... lets just say... we got nearly one million foreigners here.. and we are a major transport hub with an annual flow of nearly 40 million visitors passing by....
guess how those superpowers and regional countries gonna do.. when they found thoudsands upon thoudsands of their citizens being gasss......
yup... the country responsible for such attacks... gets.. vaporised...
anyway... you guys should know this... our Housing shelters in every HDB flats... are actually BC capable... though it probably can stand a nuke at a certain distance...
just make sure to seal your two air holes on top of your housing shelters prior to using it... the reinforced metal doors... should be checked for leakages... there is a rubber lining around it.. make sure its in place....
any chemical shells fired on singapore.. should dissipate over time... hopefully you have an oxygen tank with you.. you might need to stay in the HS abit longer then expected....
these are my personel advice... those interested should seek Civil Defence for further clarification... -

oh... just in case there are goondoos among you readers... out there
DONT light a candle in a HS with no ventalation... candles eats away your oxygen...
YOU COULD DIE if your run out of oxygen in an enclosed sealed area....
i normally leave one vent open for ventilation... in emergencies... i might consider sealing both... if advised by CD to do so.. .assuming our enemy might use chemical weapons on civilian population...
otherwise... dont seal both.... you might regret it... if later you find your door keena jam and you run out of air inside... -

dont read too much into those reports... i wont bet my life on them....
anyway... not gonna burst our own bubble... suffice to say.. we are a global city.. that alone is protection in excess... against biological and chemical weapons...
