Re: Anyone stuck in a RED ZONE
If your stuck in a red zone you maybe better off with covid in a hospital this is all your gonna get to eat for 14+ days
According to the list, which notes only six types of goods, the prices are low compared with the same goods at some markets or shops.
One box of 24 packages of “Mee Chiet” noodles is priced at $4 and a Vital Premium Water box of 12 1.5 litres bottles costs $4.5.
The ministry said a package of six bottles of 450 ml of fish sauce costs $1.625 and a package of six 450 ml bottles of soy sauce also costs $1.625.
Additionally, one box of six cans of canned fish costs $4.25 and a 25 kg bag of rice sells for $13.75.
Oh well better than beating the pavement on riverside to loose a few kilos( trying to look on the bright side)

Re: Anyone stuck in a RED ZONE
My wife's family is.
No sign of those food trucks yet.
Been living off rice and eggs the last few days.
We weren't allowed to have any food brought to them. The Wing shops are closed so can't send money so can't buy anything from those good trucks even if they do show up.
They signed up for food help on the government Telegram group. They are #13,221 in the que.

Everyone knows that obesity is a risk factor with Covid. The policy of prevention of food buying is correct in the context of combating the causation factor of obesity.
Re: Anyone stuck in a RED ZONE
We're less than a week into the lock-down and just two or three days into the concept of red-zones. Do people really live so day-to-day that they're already worried about their next meal? I hesitate to ask because I'm sure that there are those that do and I don't want to sound like I'm ignorant of their problems but c'mon... seriously. Doesn't everyone keep a small sack of rice somewhere in the house for these types of situations? Some dried foods? Oats? Noodles? Is the situation really that desperate already for some?
Personally I could do with shedding a kilo or two. The thought of a week or two with no access to food would be a medical benefit to me rather than anything to stress over.

Re: Anyone stuck in a RED ZONE
For us foreigners and the more affluent locals it isn't such an issue as we can afford to get stocks in and get deliveries. The street I live in is relatively affluent, but not far away it's a different story.xandreu wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 11:09 pm We're less than a week into the lock-down and just two or three days into the concept of red-zones.

Many locals do live day to day here. If you look at the maps of the Red Zones you might notice that these are areas where a lot of migrant factory workers live, usually with many sharing a very small apartment. Other people depend on hawking snacks and drinks. There isn't much storage space in these apartments and there is more likely an ice box than a fridge. They will likely have a plastic lidded bucket with a few kilos of rice in it, but with people's appetites for rice this may not last. There might be a few packets of dried noodles. Some supplies are hung on strings off the ceiling beams because otherwise rats will spoil them. A few spices, some salt, pepper, MSG and a jar of prahoc, maybe even some dried fish. Everything else is bought at the market fresh in the mornings. The main markets have been closed so expect the local ones to run out very soon. So yes, people really do live day to day.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Anyone stuck in a RED ZONE
That's a good point about the lack of refrigeration. It's not just meat, because a lot of vegetables don't keep either. I had to live with a mini-fridge for a while and it was really hard to keep food longer than about 3-4 days.John Bingham wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 11:52 pmFor us foreigners and the more affluent locals it isn't such an issue as we can afford to get stocks in and get deliveries.

Go get a little to cook at breakfast, go back for a little morev at lunch time and again at dinner.
It blows my mind how many foreigners here live in their little foreigner bubble and have no idea of what life is really like for the majority.

^^^ Not to mention the mobile food vendors stopping by your door each day from morning to night.
