UK's new covid cases are 99% delta variant. Until we know more, i can only assume indians are not vaccinated when they arrive in the UK, causing cases to spike, and delaying opening of the economy and country.

One would think it is a no-brainer now that the much-awaited much touted life-saving vaccines are available to combat Covid-19, everyone would rush to get their jabs. Before the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, among others, came on stream, the world held its breath as millions died and ICU facilities were overwhelmed and the talk was that having a vaccine would solve the problem, like the flu was controlled through vaccination. And yet not all are convinced. Also, to compound the vaccine hesitancy, bad enough in itself, was an impression given months earlier that Singapore was going to be in the vanguard of the vaccine action in the region.

Two sets of numbers stood out from recent Multi-Ministerial Taskforce press briefings. Forty-nine per cent of the population have taken their first doses of vaccination, and “slightly over” 35 per cent are fully vaccinated with both doses, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on June 18. In an update on his Facebook yesterday (June 19), he said it is now more than half with first dose and 36 per cent having had both doses.

Co-chair Lawrence Wong, the Finance Minister, cautioned: “And that’s not high enough, particularly the full vaccination rates. Our vaccine coverage for the vulnerable groups, the elderly, it’s not bad. It’s certainly above 60 per cent but still not high enough, especially for those who are above 70 years old. We would like it to be much higher in order to protect our vulnerable groups.”

Note that: “Not high enough.”

Right on cue, Kenneth Mak, Director of Medical Services, added. Out of 56 cases emerging out of the Bukit Merah View market and food centre cluster as of June 18, as high as 50 per cent were not vaccinated, he said.

Do we have a problem?

Asked about our actual vaccination targets, Wong pointed to two key milestones: 50 per cent of the population to be fully vaccinated hopefully by August, and another push to 75 per cent at a later date.

It has been said that a community herd immunity of sorts should kick in at around that 75 per cent figure. This is from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: “Depending on how contagious an infection is, usually 50 to 90 per cent of a population needs immunity before infection rates start to decline. But this percentage isn’t a “magic threshold” that we need to cross – especially for a novel virus. Both viral evolution and changes in how people interact with each other can bring this number up or down. Below any “herd immunity threshold”, immunity in the population (for example, from vaccination) can still have a positive effect. And above the threshold, infections can still occur. The higher the level of immunity, the larger the benefit. This is why it is important to get as many people as possible vaccinated.”

The fight against Covid-19 is not just medical. It is also psychological and financial. Many elderly, especially if they are poor and already suffering from ill-health, may not have that strong a motivation or capability to take care of themselves.

Do more to help them even as we, as Lawrence Wong said, adopt a cautious approach to reopening to allow the authorities to “buy time” so that more people can be vaccinated.

Vaccination is crucial. No disagreement here. And Singaporeans should be kept fully informed and up to date on what is happening. There was a lot of earlier talk about how we managed to secure more than sufficient supplies of vaccines. And on how we wanted to be the centre of regional distribution.

In December last year, the then Trade and Industry MInister Chan Chun Sing said: “Singapore is in talks with major suppliers of Covid-19 vaccines on the possibility of being a regional distributor and playing a part in the final stages of vaccine production…

“We have plans to work with the major suppliers, not so much on the production itself – which is done in Europe and the United States – but if there’s a possibility for us to do what we call ‘fill and finish’ to help in the global distribution (sic).”

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong reinforced this strategy: “We are quietly confident that we do have the capabilities in Singapore, not just to bring the vaccine in… but also, if need be, to help distribute the vaccines to the region,” he said.

Several pharmaceutical firms have established vaccine manufacturing capabilities in Singapore, he added. The government was also supporting vaccine development efforts here as an “insurance”, in case global supply chains were disrupted.

And yet only 50 per cent of the Bukit Merah cluster were vaccinated. Somehow, things do not add up.

Easing up, tightening up

Yes, you can dine in from tomorrow with just another person and not four more as expected. As someone said, it is better than nothing.

But, with this easing up comes a zinger, if I got my facts right.

It may not pay to move around unnecessarily. If you happen to be at a place – mall, restaurant or enclosed public spot – where Covid-19 infected persons are detected, you will have to go for swab tests and then isolate yourself until you are cleared as negative.

The more places you wander to, the higher your chances of being inconvenienced – and not just one time but as many as you are at any place of infections.

Shop, eat at one place only and go home, is what the MTF wants you to get used to.

Welcome to the future world of 2021.

SINGAPORE - Singapore will prepare its population to deal with Covid-19 as part of their daily lives and people will be able to work, travel and shop without quarantines and lockdowns, even with the coronavirus in their midst.
With enough people vaccinated, Covid-19 will be managed like other endemic diseases such as the common flu and hand, foot and mouth disease, said the three co-chairmen of the Government's multi-ministry task force on Covid-19 as they outlined plans for Singapore to transition to a new normal.
Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong and Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung said in an article published in The Straits Times on Thursday (June 24) that the priority in the next few months will be to prepare Singapore for life with Covid-19 as a recurring, controllable disease.
"It has been 18 months since the pandemic started, and our people are battle-weary. All are asking: When and how will the pandemic end?" they said.
"The bad news is that Covid-19 may never go away. The good news is that it is possible to live normally with it in our midst."
A road map is being drawn up to shift to this new normal, and it will be done in tandem with achieving certain vaccination milestones.



Singapore has been taking steps to prepare for Covid-19 becoming endemic, and has ramped up its vaccination drive amid the battle to bring down the spike in cases.
Vaccination already appears to be effective in reducing the rates of infection and transmission. Most fully vaccinated people show mild or no symptoms even if they contract the disease.
By early next month, two-thirds of the population in Singapore will have received at least one jab of the two-jab vaccines, said the ministers.
"Our next milestone will be to have at least two-thirds of our population fully vaccinated with two doses around National Day, supply permitting. We are working to bring forward the delivery of vaccines and to speed up the process," they said.

In time, said the ministers, people with Covid-19 will be allowed to recover at home, so there will be less concern about the healthcare system being stressed. Their close contacts can buy test kits from pharmacies to test themselves.
In fact, testing will no longer be a tool for ring-fencing and quarantining people, but will be used more for screening those who want to enter office buildings, malls and schools, among other places.
The daily updates on infection numbers will also shift to focus on outcomes, such as how many patients fall very sick and end up needing intensive care, the same way the flu is monitored.

Living normally, with Covid-19​

S'pore planning for possibility that Covid-19 becomes endemic here: Lawrence Wong​

Slowly, safe management rules can be eased, and large gatherings will once again be allowed, such as at the National Day Parade or New Year's Eve countdown.
Businesses will also not have to fear disruptions from lockdowns.
Eventually, people will be able to travel again, with vaccination certificates in hand, to countries that have also controlled the virus and turned it into an endemic norm. They may even be exempted from quarantine with a negative test upon arrival.
"Finally, whether we can live with Covid-19 depends also on Singaporeans' acceptance that Covid-19 will be endemic and our collective behaviour... If all of us shoulder the burden together - workers keeping their colleagues safe by staying at home when ill, and employers not faulting them - our society will be so much safer," the ministers said.
They added: "Science and human ingenuity will eventually prevail over Covid-19. Cohesion and social consciousness will get us there faster. We must all do our part."

[Leongsam]

I am always right.

 

[Leongsam]

I cannot believe that anyone with half a brain could have actually held on to the notion that a disease that was spreading worldwide and that was mild in 99% of those that caught the infection could actually be eliminated.

You don't need to be an "expert" or an epidemiologist to figure that out.

 

[Leongsam]

Me too!!!!

Another bully US failed attempt to hurt China... they have derailed and heading to Xing Jiang where the untapped resources are there....

Wait China lease out lands to hungry small land countries like leichenstain, Belgium, Austria, Monroco etc for 150 years to extend their lands in Xin Jiang will piss off US and EU ..... New Europe V2.021


These countries can use RMB to trade as main currency... Singapore can ask China to lease a land too, move away from Muslim neighbours......

After Taiwan back to China, they sub- lease Taiwan to Singapore and that is twin city..

I will earn less profits if Singapore opens up. This is bad news for me.

LOL, China is fucked. 全球灭共 is ongoing now. Currently, Winnie is begging abang Putin to be on his side, and Vlad has been very coy about Russia's relationship with China.

But since you are a hardcore CCP fanboy, I post something to make you squeal with delight. Enjoy while you still can.
