S'pore's daily Covid-19 cases might hit 3,200 next week at current infection rate: MOH

[rocket]

The number of daily Covid-19 cases in Singapore is expected to hit 3,200 next week, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on Sep. 24.

3,200 cases expected in the next week​

MOH said that the possibility of cases doubling even further cannot be ruled out, if the infection rate in Singapore continues at its current trajectory.
The surge in the daily number of Covid-19 cases, which began in the end of August 2021, has seen a rapid increase in the number of individuals with mild symptoms who seek medical attention at hospitals, when it might not be necessary.
MOH said that this has strained the overall healthcare and response system, and on Singapore's healthcare workers.
According to health minister Ong Ye Kung at a press conference on the same day, Singapore's healthcare system can cope with 2,000 to 3,500 cases before it reaches its threshold.

I have advocated that Singapore should go for a lockdown. The trajectory is just too steep. There is no explanation for this "doubling" of cases every week. Something is amiss. Despite the fact that most of us are still wearing masks and following safe distancing rules. I hope it is the test kit that is giving erroneous results. if not, we should not be wasting time doing nothing. One cannot be so blind and deaf to a lightning strike.

VB once said ," If you allow bar top dancing, some people can die. " The logic may not be exactly the same, but if you allow this "covid dancing" to continue , people will surely die.

The trajectory is just too steep. There is no explanation for this "doubling" of cases every week.

The recorded cases are merely those tested positive during the ring fence. As the MOH/CERTIS weren’t able to cope with the load, which often resulted in delays, there’s chances of spreading. That’s reason number one.

There are also plenty of asymptomatic individuals who are spreading the virus unwittingly- don’t blame them as they present no symptoms, the spread is a sure-fire in a mask off setting amongst friends/family. That’s reason number two.

These unlinked asymptomatic chaps can continue to seed more unlinked clusters and our MOH/CERTIS can continue to SLOWLY issue the QOs and they will have more cases to serve. A negative feedback, if you ask me.

Stubborn elderly causing problems here.
Always says don't worry, won't get covid,
I not scare, why can't go out, why can't dine out.

They are the ones crying on hospital beds.

Ignorant is the reason for their stubbornness.

Trying to cover backside now and get peasants accustomed to the 'new normal'.

82% vaxxed population still like that... alamak! Herd immunity leh?

Aiming for 90+% like Israel? Or contemplating 'inviting' more Sinkies to get the booster shots? Maybe the vaccines are not working at all? Or the vaccines made the situation worse?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

We don't need to come to this stage if the borders are closed from the start.
How india variants b16172 came in?

I thought Singapore was one of the successful countries with stopping transmission?

They boasted about NCID. Contsct tracing. SHN. Quarantines.

What happened?

Maybe they realised closing borders was causing more harm?

overpopulation on a small city state surpassing even HK .

Is Singapore really #1 in that respect?

I think China cities are even higher. No? India?
