Vaccination rate for the oldies is quite high. If the vaccinated ones start dying like flies or putting ICU under strain... then how?
Maybe they are waiting for booster shots to come... existing ones aren't really helpful against Delta.

Why don't people use a water hose or a bidet? Easier, cleaner and more economical.

Apparently current COVID ICU beds capacity had been boosted to about 1K. Unless we are looking at over 1K patients a day consecutively for over 3 weeks, else we should be able to hold out as the ring fencing seems to be working.

SINGAPORE - Links to a large cluster at KTV lounges and lack of attention paid to mask wearing turned Singapore's main fishery port into a hotbed of Covid-19 infection, those who work there said.
It is understood that a KTV hostess who recently tested positive for the virus had worked at the port. Some workers there are also patrons of lounges.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung confirmed on Monday (July 19) that the KTV and Jurong Fishery Port clusters are linked and studies are ongoing to establish their relationship.
The port, which had a total of 169 Covid-19 cases as at Monday noon, was announced as a cluster last Friday, along with Hong Lim Market and Food Centre.
Spread over 5.1ha - about the size of 12 football fields - with more than 100 merchants and 3,000 customers daily, the larger of Singapore's two fishery ports is closed for two weeks until July 31 so it can be deep cleaned, and to halt the transmission of Covid-19.
Fishmongers and workers there say lax mask-wearing habits could have contributed to the rapid spread of the virus.
A worker in his 30s who wanted to be known only as Mr Tan said it can be difficult to breathe with a mask on when carrying large barrels of fish.
"A barrel of fish weighs between 100kg and 120kg and we hand-carry it to our stalls from the lorries. It's hard labour.
"With sweat pouring down our faces, we sometimes take off our masks for a short period to catch our breaths. When we're not careful and talk to one other, that's how the virus spreads," he said in Mandarin.
Mr Tan added that he knew five workers who had tested positive for Covid-19, and he had interacted with some of whom just days ago. His test results came back negative on Sunday.
While information on the vaccination rate of the port workers was not immediately available, workers told The Straits Times that the majority of them have been vaccinated.
Fishmongers from all markets are being tested for Covid-19 at designated testing centres after the cluster emerged. They are required to self-isolate until they receive a negative test result.
Alan (not his real name), a fishmonger in his 50s who goes to the Jurong port daily for his seafood supply, said he often sees people taking smoke breaks without masks on and chatting in groups of two to three.
"We are often at the port for hours to wait for fish to arrive by boat from Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. While waiting, people tend to let their guard down and socialise," he said.
Others said the sheer size of the port makes the enforcement of Covid-19 rules difficult.
Said a fishmonger in his 30s who did not want to be named: "When the enforcement agents come to check, the news spreads quickly and those at other end of the port pull up their masks.
"When they leave, the masks come back down."
Singapore's other fishery port, Senoko, has been activated to ramp up operations, and major wholesalers have been asked to increase their purchases to plug the supply gap, said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu on Sunday.
Senoko operates on a much smaller scale than Jurong, with just 25 merchants and 700 to 1,000 customers daily.
Over the weekend, long lines formed at wet markets as consumers snapped up seafood amid fears of a shortage.
The Singapore Food Agency said on Saturday that there may be temporary disruptions to the supply of chilled seafood, but frozen seafood options remain available to mitigate the shortfall.
The Straits Times has contacted the agency for more information on the safety precautions that will be in place when the port reopens on Aug 1.

By the time critical levels are reached for the KPIs you mentioned, it will be too late as it means transmission has spread out of control. It takes time for measures to be implemented and for cases to stabilize. Typically SG gives a few days allowance before implementing any measures; unlike the Aussies, who impose them that very night or next day. Unless MoH have resources to up the 1000 ICU beds in case of "emergency emergency", then we have not reached the tipping point
