The authorities are trying to burn both ends of the candle. Keep the economy humming at a fast rate and keep people from dying from covid, hopefully at a slower rate. All these are happening in a highly infectious environment. Death for a few is not a bad thing for the benefit of the majority...

I like to believe that the home recovery program will keep the virus in control, but I seriously doubt that it will work. If you are isolated at home with your family, it is highly probable that your family will also be infected. Now , with the rising number of cases and hospitals are only...

If the government can hold an election poll in the midst of the covid pandemic, can they not try one mass vaccination day in the lockdown period and get all the remaining 20% vaccinated and also those needing booster shot? Why all the preparations for more beds, more care centers , more mortuary...

I have advocated that Singapore should go for a lockdown. The trajectory is just too steep. There is no explanation for this "doubling" of cases every week. Something is amiss. Despite the fact that most of us are still wearing masks and following safe distancing rules. I hope it is the test...

Sorry , it was yesterday.

SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 1,504 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Thursday (Sep 23), the highest since the pandemic began early last year. The 1,491 local infections comprise 1,218 community cases and 273 dormitory residents. There were also 13 imported cases. The Ministry of Health (MOH)...

Don't you get suspicious when almost everyone in Singapore wears mask, observes safe distancing and by and large are mostly vaccinated , yet the infection cases keep going higher and higher ? If infection cases go higher, it can only mean one thing - more people will get sick and more people...

Someday, I wish he can still be around ... makes the hard decision, but in the end , he saves the day.

This is what happens when you don't care. When it happens, it is completely out of control. The whole area is infested. It is like a plague. You bring more anxiety when you don't stop the spread. Now, not only the elderly are worried, even the children are anxious.

The cases are just one too many. The government should call for a lockdown immediately. If MOM can call for a snap WFH for 10 days for any entity with at least 3 cases , why are they not doing the same for any covid 19 cluster. Even China does that to keep the virus at bay. If they don't lock...

It is apparent that the authorities is allowing the economy to open up. They have changed the snap WFH now with at least 3 covid cases instead of 1 and shortened the WFH days from 14 days to 10 days. The case count is no longer critical. Only the ICU and death count matter. They are happy to see...

At this rate, going out is like stepping into a minefield. If not this step, perhaps the next . But you can't stay at home forever. I suppose it is better to accept the fact that you will get it one day rather than worrying "what if I get it in this place or that place." If you are...

Going by this exponential growth rate, I will be infected soon. It is not a matter of if , but when. Do you think the Minister will say the same ?

No one government has really got a handle on this covid 19 . At first , we thought New Zealand, Australia, Germany and Israel have gotten control over the covid pandemic in their countries. For the initial outbreak , they managed to keep the cases low with lockdowns, mask mandate and high...

After hearing so many updates from the MMTF, it can be summarised into 2 key mandates in order to protect oneself from getting infected and falling seriously ill with covid and they are 1) mask yourself when you are out and 2) vaccinate yourself . If everyone does that, the cases will fall...

LW studied in Tanjong Katong Sec and then Victoria Junior College. Not against the schools. Something wrong with his values. One would think he will be more humble and has empathy towards others especially with his humble school background.

If the infection cases double to 2000x in a week's time, and ICU and death cases shoot up to 3% , is MTF going to tell the public that MOH will prepare more beds , but you have to decide how to protect yourself ?

He is a literate gentleman. Respect.

For LW, it is spelt own... ; )

By calling RI a lousy school, LW has offended a number of Ministers and MPs who came from the school. How could he not have thought about what he was saying ? He owes an apology not only to LMW, but to the Parliament for the offensive remark.
