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

[dredd]

Unfortunately your MTF doesn’t want to admit it is now a mild flu and declare endemic . They are chasing their own tail swabbing everyone to death to increase daily numbers. For what I have no idea . Endemic means endemic . But they are behaving as though it is the beginning of the epidemic .

Damn straight. Endemic means endemic.

The MTF has done a great job but failed to realize it. One problem with the PAP is that we keep looking towards others for advice and precedent. We often forget that we're already the very best in the world and we should be blazing our own path just like the blessed Old Guard did.

SARS was different . It was very lethal but burned itself out. The people mainly affected were hospital staff . With lockdown and patience we were able to sit it out and it was largely over in 9 months .

Covid 19 evolved into the delta strain and that rapidly became much more virulent . Also breakthrough infection was seen amongst the vaccinated because the original vaccine in whatever form targeted the alpha strain. Fortunately the mortality has been low for the vaccinated

Its very easy to say double down on control measures whenever case spikes . And then what ? When you inevitably open up again the cases will again surge . It will never end . Meanwhile economy dies .

The sensible thing is to vaccinate and then open up. Cases will surge and then plateau at an equilibrium and then eventually come down .

Perpetual lockdown is no longer an option 18 months into this pandemic . 98% of vaccinated people have mild or no symptoms . Mortality is at 1.8% with the unvaccinated and those with serious comorbidities 11 times more likely to die . You cannot ignore these statistics.

Cases will surge . There will be more deaths . Rite of passage to emerge from a pandemic .

Because it is virus. There is only one way to kill a virus. It is by letting it die on its own. But it will not die off as long as there are people around spreading it. You don't know how long this virus will linger on... for all you know, it gets mutated and become even more infectious.

Welfare of the people includes their economic welfare . I am sure those whose businesses have folded or lost their jobs will agree with me

Which is worse? Life lost or business lost ? Isn't the government supposed to help those who are financially impacted by Covid ?

so what do you do with annual seasonal flu which kills more people ?

Song! why not song? Just getting the spelling of mRNA right is an achievement for you.

A retard can only focus nic picking. U go boost ur 4th shots then hide at home. Lol

Boost until 10th also useless. Sorry cannot change brand liao. Lol

Next time need to learn that free things are never good. Hahaha

So your solution is a permanent lockdown and perpetual handout by the government? All of us hide at home while Ho Ching paynow you your salary until you retire ?

 

[Wunderfool]

Until WHO calls it a flu , it is not.
It is classified as a deadly virus.

Let me explain to you what is really going on right now . In case it is not plain for you to see.

We are down to 2 to dine in . Is that a lockdown ?

hawker centers and food courts are open . Cinemas are open .

churches temples and mosques are open . Local tours are operating . Malls are open .

More tourists will come in and add to that foreign workers .

so is it a lockdown ? This time is just for show . To appease pro lockdown people like you .

the government is planning to open up big . And soon. They just need to make sure the optics and narrative is correct .

sorry bro . you are in the minority

A deadly virus with a mortality rate lower than annual seasonal flu …. Hmmmmmmmmm

Our covid numbers may be up, but the number of sinkies who are dead or in icu still remains low.

Just in September alone, those that need oxygen increased about 10 times from 22 (01Sep) to 209 (28Sep), resulting in an increase in tandem for ICU cases from 5 to 30, and coupled with 30 deaths.

When the numbers are small, the percentages look huge. 209 people needing oxygen is small case. We have ample oxygen machines for them. Relax.

That’s a brilliant idea! I like!

Altogether now!!! HUAT AH!!!

U don’t look at absolute numbers. You look at percentages and trends .

so you have 85 deaths out of 91775 total national cases = 0.00926%

are u not impressed how well we are managing now ?

so just you know, the number of folks requiring oxygen is rising in the tandem with number of cases reported... LiangPoPo was right to say that when we hit 5K daily mark, we are looking at 500 pax requiring oxygen.

You know I look at trends, when the hospitals teng mm shun, these percentages change rapidly.

Oops I correct myself. If you consider the numbers of undiagnosed asymptomatic cases wandering around in KTV and massage parlours the % of deaths become even smaller .

Well done we
