There were already about 100 people in the queue when The Straits Times arrived at Marsiling Community Club at 9.45am. Crowds continued to pour in even at 11.30am.

Just now I saw the news, they interviewed one uncle and he said he came to take the token because use IC is troublesome.

I was like what?! You been using IC for the past few months leh.

I think what uncle trying to say is: If IC lost due to frequent usage for scanning, then replacement is troublesome.

There is an interesting community case reported on 27 October

Quote

Case 58148 is a Short-Term Visit Pass holder who arrived from Vietnam under an Air Travel Pass. She is a caregiver to her sibling who was already receiving medical treatment in Singapore for an unrelated condition. She underwent a COVID-19 test upon arrival in Singapore on 10 October and her result came back negative. She subsequently developed acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms on 23 October and was tested for COVID-19 under our enhanced community testing to test all individuals aged 13 and above who are diagnosed with ARI at first presentation to a doctor. This allows us to identify infected individuals early and to quickly contain further spread.

Once make it mandatory means need to factor in those thing that rarely happens but still happen. Like lost ic.. It rarely happen, but it still happen to some right? So when these people lost ic, they can go ICA and make for replacement right? So TraceTogether token is of no difference. Maybe if possible, make it such that those who lost the TraceTogether token if really somehow cannot use TraceTogether app.. Can make police report and get a new replacement. Minewhile while waiting for the new replacement, just show the police report that the token is lost and still waiting for replacement and then scan ic go in. These are cater more for elderly and kids like someone here mentioned.. 

 

Government cannot have the mindset like many will say scared battery flat use app lor. Or lost use app lor. Yes majority of people already using smartphone and know how to download app and use.. But still need to cater for very small number of people who are just clueless on the app, like these elderly only use hp for calling only. Coz it is mandatory, so really need to factor in all sorts of conditions for all population (not just majority). 

The same elderly who dont know how to use TT app and scan, but know how to play pokemon, whatsapp, wechat and facebook ...... so it's just selective lah. If motivated to do something, will do.

Not all elderly knows all these. What you see is like these elderly knows.. What about these elderly don't know that you never see?

eventually we will have more and more imported cases?

by looking at the counts this mean the “testing” that no covid then can come to spore is not working?
