[COVID-19 Virus] The Sinkies are fucked Thread.

1453 community cases for 22 Sep, with 66th, 67th and 68th death registered.
Case 70252 is a 65-year-old Singaporean man who died on Wednesday. He tested positive for COVID-19 on Sep 1 and had not been vaccinated against the disease. He had a history of diabetes, end stage renal failure and hypertension.

The second fatality is a 90-year-old Singaporean woman who died on Tuesday. Known as Case 74791, she tested positive on Sep 13 and had been vaccinated. She had a history of stroke, asthma, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia.

The third fatality reported on Wednesday is a 50-year-old man who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The Singaporean, known as Case 75271, also died on Tuesday. He tested positive on Sep 13 and had no known medical conditions.
 
Would be useful to know what's the reinfection rate ie people who supposed to develop natural immunity getting covid again
Now we’re talking. This is actually an important thing we need to look at. There were reports of reinfections in the past for that dorm worker, then it fizzled out.

this death is most ai wan.
young 50 yo man
no known medical condition
not vax
mati just like that
 
oxysupp remains stable
not actually sick still around 97.9%
icu numbers also stable

6. Over the last 28 days, the percentage of local cases who were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms is 97.9%. 260 cases required oxygen supplementation and 25 had been in the ICU. Of these 54.0% were fully vaccinated and 46.0% were unvaccinated/ partially vaccinated. 11 have died, of whom 27.3% were fully vaccinated and 72.7% were unvaccinated/ partially vaccinated.

Just thinking out loud-
the sky is the limit when it’s at exponential phase, taking a look across the many countries, the wave lasts easily 2.5 to 3 months, or in about 12~13 weeks. would we hit 5-digit cases at the peak by mid/late Oct? 2% of 10K is 200 requiring oxygen, but right now we are seeing 105 requiring oxygen now :cautious::cautious::cautious:
Malaysia & Thailand peaked around 22K mark for this Delta wave, while Indonesia clocked around 42K mark. Our Delta wave just started few weeks back.
 
This is good news. With more infected herd immunity will kick in

vaccination + herd = 90%

ICU numbers stable

1 x 50 year old unvaccinated death (hopefully one of the dumbfucks here )

Australia opening up. My kin wants my ass there but I told them it’s too hot in December. Plus I dislike Aussies . Pass.

Of course it happens . Nothing is 100% certain in medicine .

The actual daily numbers are far higher than 1457. You have asymptomatic carriers walking around and you have people who test positive for ART but keep silent .

Numbers will explode and then come down . It’s simple logic.

Stay calm and vaccinate :tongue:
 
This morning, CNA radio interviewed an indian-born professor from NUS Yong Loo Lin school of Medicine and said that our concern should not be covid cases, but vaccination. This is Shitskin propaganda in Singapore, just a mouthpiece for policymakers. We have done enough for vaccination, we must be more streetsmart. What Singapore needs now is true social distancing and block foreigners from coming in
 
New R.1 Covid Variant Detected In U.S.; First Identified In Japan – Deadline

While the Delta variant’s dominance in the United States is nearly universal, news of another spreading strain of Covid-19 has recently surfaced.

Known as R.1, the new variant was first found stateside in Kentucky which, according to Governor Andy Beshear, is among the three states with the highest infection rates. R.1 was first identified via an outbreak at a skilled nursing facility there.

According to a CDC report, among 83 residents and 116 healthcare workers, 26 residents and 20 workers tested positive for Covid. Twenty eight specimens were subjected to whole genome sequencing and, on March 1, found to have mutations that aligned with the R.1 lineage. (The outbreak reportedly began with an infected staffer.) “Attack rates were three to four times as high among unvaccinated residents and [workers] as among those who were vaccinated,” according to the findings.

Roughly 90% of the facility’s residents and and 52% of the staff had received 2 vaccine doses. Among those, 25.4% of the residents and 7.1% of the workers were infected. That, according the CDC analyses, raises concerns about reduced protective immunity to R.1 from vaccines.

What’s more, four possible reinfections were identified, “providing some evidence of limited or waning natural immunity to this variant,” per the report. All of those people experienced symptomatic illness. One of them died.

While the CDC does not define R.1 as a variant of concern or interest yet, the strain does have several “mutations of importance.” One of those “demonstrates evidence of increasing virus transmissibility,” according to the agency. Others have also been seen in variants of concern which, according to the CDC, “show evidence of reduced neutralization by convalescent and postvaccination sera. Another mutation seen in R.1 might reduce the effectiveness of neutralizing antibodies.”

The good news is that, despite the breakthrough infections, vaccination was associated with decreased likelihood of infection and symptomatic illness among both patients and staff. Furthermore, R.1 does not seem to be outcompeting — and thus be more transmissible than — Delta. As of April 22, the CDC indicated just 1,125 cases of R.1 in the U.S. According to Forbes, there are now over 10,000 recorded instances of the variant. But those numbers pale in comparison to the millions of Delta cases.

R.1 was first identified in Japan in January 2021 among three members of one family. One of those infected was in their 40s and the other two were under 10 years old. “These three patients were living in Japan and had no history of traveling abroad,” according to an NIH report.

As of April 22, 2021, the NIH analysis states that “the percentage of SARS-CoV-2 isolates belonging to the R.1 lineage in Japan increased more rapidly” than it did in the U.S.
 
Many parents were bewildered why MOE refused to shutdown despite having more than 50 schools covided in the past 1-2 months and we had to wait for one-week for HBL to start in September. For almost two years, MOE couldn't get their learning platform ready to support the bandwidth requirements for HBL. It appears that their earlier IT investment has gone to the drains, and now MOE has thrown the towels and signed up with Zoom for all primary school kids in Singapore for HBL next week.

Numbers mean very little when the majority are well protected and healthcare facilities remain stable. 98% asymtomatic is testament to the efficacy of vaccines in preventing death and serious illness. The data does not lie.

They really should just stop with reporting on numbers. Small-minded Sinkees cannot wrap their tiny heads around the "seriousness" of 1457 infected, 03 deaths a day and will be running scared. In the panic, it's easy to forget the fact that if our vaccination rates are not 90%, we would have gotten many thousands more infected, many more deaths.

For sure numbers will go up before they start to come down. :smile:

MOE can rollout without plan the hbl using their non tested video conferencing software same like MOH can rollout non plan home leecoverlee program.
