The govt is now most concerned about the 88K oldie Singgies who are currently unvaccinated for obvious reasons.

Imagine just 10% get Delta that would be 8.8K cases and say 50% of those infected become seriously ill(i am being conservative) that would be 4.4k in icu and probably at least 3.4k dying first.

Health care system will be icu itself!

Took a big stick to get their asses moving to the vaccination center .

Govt should have had the courage to call these people out in the first place instead of shutting gyms and limiting restaurant capacity . totally barked up the wrong tree.

faster they vaccinate faster we go back normal .

faster they vaccinate faster we go back normal .

That lie sounds familiar. I thought I've heard it before.

Nation’s vax success story unravelling​

How will COVID-19 testing work with international travel?​

International travel is about to open for Australians and every…
Singapore reached a milestone last week when more than 80 per cent of its adult population had received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.
But the good news was soured by case numbers that have climbed exponentially since 29 local cases were reported in the Asian nation on August 22.
Over the weekend, there were a daily high 3700 new infections. On Sunday, the number dipped only slightly to 2807.
Just months after emerging from lockdown with a remarkably low death toll, the government has reinstated the bulk of restrictions — including one that means a family of three cannot leave the house together for a walk.
There is a silver lining to the current outbreak. According to Singapore’s Ministry of Health, 98.5 per cent of all local infected cases over the past 28 days “were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms”.

Cases are spiking in Singapore as the country attempts to open up.
It is a different story for those not yet vaccinated. There were nine deaths on Sunday associated with the virus, taking the country’s Covid-19 death tally to 162 — well below Australia’s total death count.
On the ground in Singapore, people are feeling the effects of a drawn-out reopening. One Australian man, who spoke to news.com.au on the condition of anonymity, said the government took two steps forward only to take a big step back.
“The rules here are strict and strictly enforced,” he said.
“Singaporean public opinion is a little inscrutable because there’s no legitimate outlet for it, but anecdotally you look at the Facebook page of the Ministry of Health and there are a lot of people calling for harsher lockdowns as cases rise.
“Basically Singapore has struggled with emerging from Covid and transitioning out of fear of the virus and dealing with rising case numbers. They have announced a whole bunch of vaccinated travel lanes (most recently with US and several European counties) but these are just Singapore reciprocating the long open borders in these places.

“On the ground, despite the rhetoric about opening and endemic Covid, they have tightened rules considerably. Group sizes in public are capped at two — this means our family of three cannot even go for a walk together.
“We had breakfast at a cafe this morning and had to sit at separate tables. The PM said this is to slow the spread so the health system can cope — but the result is a system where I can fly to Europe but I can’t have breakfast with my wife and daughter.
“It’s absurd and pushing a lot of expats to breaking point as the country is all vaxxed and ready to go.”
In August, it looked like a smooth exit from lockdown was on the cards.
From August 6, fully vaccinated Singaporeans were able to eat at restaurants in groups of five, with household allowed to receive five visitors as well.
Unvaccinated individuals who could prove a negative pre-event test were also able to benefit. And as of August 19, workplaces were able to welcome 50 per cent of staff back to the office.

Singapore has handled the pandemic well but cases are rising rapidly and restrictions are being reintroduced.
Live performances, cinemas, sports events, exhibitions, conferences and weddings were given the green light to go ahead with up to 1000 vaccinated attendees and up to 50 unvaccinated attendees.
But with cases now doubling every eight days, the old rules on gatherings are back.
According to Channel News Asia, there are 1613 patients currently in hospital and “most of them well and under observation”.
The Ministry of Health says 292 patients require oxygen and 41 are in intensive care.
Lawrence Wong, Singapore’s Covid-19 multi-ministry task force co-chair, said in August that the country’s high vaccination coverage meant they were able to move into a new phase of “living with Covid and becoming Covid-resilient”.
“We would only revert to such a tightened posture as a last resort to prevent our hospital system from being overwhelmed,” he said.
The success the country had in August seems a lifetime ago now. The Australian man who spoke to news.com.au said Singapore had handled the pandemic well. But that locals are getting restless.
“We have had a good pandemic with barely any deaths and a fair approximation of normality for most of it, just wearing masks and manageable gathering limits,” he said.
“(But) two steps forward, one step back now is frustrating.”

The increasing number of deaths is just another cost of doing business to OYK and company.

It's because of the Delta variant, plain and simple.

Mrna vaccine works but was made for Wuhan. Still works for Delta but less effective. Then add on the waning effect after 6 months of being fully vaccinated might even be less.

Boosters are the way to go. Look at Israel for guidance. Jews know what they are doing. No perfect solution but as best as can be practically.

Also vaccines and antivirals shall improve.

That said, I just heard from a medico friend that the much touted new Merck antiviral might have a serious grave side effect. Could actually cause cancer. Info apparently comes from a a US medical scientist who has been researching the same stuff Merck is using for the last 10 years. Need to get confirmation from FDA and Merck on this new issue. For the time being I won't be taking this Merck antiviral if I have the misfortune of getting Covid and need medical treatment.

Exit wave.
Exit from mortal coil. Don't forget to wave on your way out.
