You are right. This is another situation that shows how bad PAP is. They have squandered between S$100B to $200B of SG's reserves on ccovid elimination and we are back at square one. The worst is yet to come. When it hits close to 500cases, PAP decides not to reveal the covid figures as it shows their incompetencyMy next question is why even test for cases if you are not going to do contact tracing and do isolation anymore?
Just test for covid only if it makes a difference in clinical decision making. Eg we need to know what the possible causes for this patient's respiratory failure. Covid is a possibility. Ok test for it. If covid we treat as per whatever treatment protocol for covid. If influenza. If step pneumonia. If Meliodosis. If Mycoplasma pneumonia. if P carinii (I think they may have changed the name of this one liao but I dunno). etc.
No point testing just for what? For the media?
Forget it lah
Someone should commander a study to see if regular testing of covid 19 (mild sick, mild illness, asymptomatic) actually causes more harm than good?
PAP has squandered:
1. $100B on covid
2. $1.7B on Sports hub...now white elephant
3. $1.7B on Gardens By the Bay
4. $1.3B on Esplanade Durian...another white elephant
5. Billions on F35s which are no better than F16s
the list goes on
