3 in 10 young Singaporeans worry about ‘losing purpose for living’ due to Covid-19 impact: IPS study

[TerrexLee]

SINGAPORE — As normalcy gradually returns, the Covid-19 pandemic has left at least three in 10 Singaporeans in their 20s worried about losing their purpose for living, triple the proportion of those aged above 60 who feel this way, a study has found.

This is given the disruptions caused by the pandemic to much of what these young people consider important and gives them purpose, said lead Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) researcher, Dr Mathew Mathews.

“This includes travelling both for leisure and job opportunities or training and socialising,” he added.

“While some have suggested that the young do better during the pandemic because they are digital natives and have no problems with adapting to new work routines which leverage on information technology, we may forget that they might be affected in other (aspects) of life.”

The study, released on Monday (April 26) and conducted by IPS researchers, surveyed more than 500 Singaporeans aged 21 years and above between April 2020 to March this year. The polls were done in 22 waves — that is, the respondents were questioned periodically 22 times.

Around 31 per cent of respondents aged 21 to 29 were “rather” or “very worried” about losing their purpose for living as compared with only 11 per cent of those aged 60 and above.

A shocking reality resulting from an overreaction to a virus that is no worse than the flu especially for the young.

Flu has an IFR of 0.1%

If they are not choosy, starting pay is at least $3500 for fresh local grads now.

Its actually closer to zero, at least that what we want people to think. In this way we can kill so many people if we only tell them its no big deal and you have very little chance of death, but of course we all know its deadly and can kill you today or in months to come.

That is the beauty of our Chinese Virus. You never will know.

Excellent plan. The vaccines will induce terminal diseases a few years down the road just like what happened with Thalidomide. And no one can blame anyone when those who take it die.
I predict a culling effect of more than 50% to f human population. The virus itself kills a miniscule 0.1%.
