True, especially for old people with existing conditions.  Due to the side effects, Norway just updated its vaccination guide with new advice on the vaccination of frail elderly people after 13 deaths linked to the vaccination.

“If you are very frail, you should probably not be vaccinated,”

I always think Singapore should not rush for vaccination. AMDK is desperate and hopeless in suppressing Covid. They are willing to try anything that brings them some hope. Unlike AMDK, Singapore has kept Covid under control now. We can afford to wait and see. I mentioned this point a few months ago and was rebuked by one member because of the 29th death of Sg covid victims. With the new data from Norway, a more prudent approach to the vaccination, especially for frail elderly people should be considered.

 

Because we can't wait to open up the economy and borders. Just look at the imported cases daily.

In addition, there could be increase demand for maids.

For MTD, we could have 100 cases of imported cases that is maid.

I’m doing a part-time job with many FWs from Bangladesh and India. This company pulled in many workers from other companies who have no business. I asked them why they worked here, they said ‘boss no biz’.

More than half of MTD import cases are from this category.

Look at the so call Community 2 days ago. It is also from this category.

14 days don't screw each other will die meh? Now both get screwed by the court.

Foreigner, S’porean fiancee charged with conspiring to breach stay-home notice at Ritz-Carlton hotel

SINGAPORE — A 52-year-old man and his fiancee were charged in court on Friday (Jan 15) with conspiring to breach his stay-home notice by staying in the same room at the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore hotel.Nigel Skea, a British national, faces six charges under Singapore’s Covid-19 laws, while his Singaporean fiancee Agatha Maghesh Eyamalai, 39, faces one charge.

Skea was handed a stay-home order to curb the spread of Covid-19 from Sept 20 to Oct 4 last year, after he arrived from London in the United Kingdom. 

He stayed in a room on the 14th floor of the upscale hotel by Marina Bay, court documents showed.

Eyamalai allegedly booked a room on the 27th storey and met Skea on that floor around 2.30am on Sept 21. She also opened the emergency exit door for him and allowed him to stay over in her room until about 11.45am that day.

Skea is accused of exiting his room and loitering outside it around 1am that same morning, before leaving again and taking the stairs to Eyamalai’s room.

Moderna CEO says the world will have to live with Covid 'forever'

What does this mean?  

It means, that we've mostly been buying time so far.

We were never able to stop the infection at source, so now it's out there - just like the flu & common colds will never go away.

Since noone's immune to CV-19, we'll either need immunity the hard way or the vaccine way.

So, yeah, it may look like we'll need CV-19 vaccine boosters yearly, certainly for the vulnerable segments.

Alternatively, we close ourselves up indefinitely.

Since covid vaccine is taking place in this year. So still can take flu jab?

[Raubern]

 Wonder how many more hidden cases. If not for pre-departure test this case would not have been discovered

 

There is 1 case in the community today who is currently unlinked. Case 59321 is a 57 year-old female Singaporean who is a homemaker.

She is asymptomatic, and was detected when she took a COVID-19 pre-departure test on 13 January in preparation for a trip to Vietnam. Her result came back positive for COVID-19 infection the next day and she was conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases in an ambulance.

Her polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test yielded a high Ct value, which is indicative of a low viral load. Her serological test result has also come back positive, which indicates a likely past infection.

Why is a 57-year-old housewife allowed entry into Vietnam? Can't be for business or tourism right?

According to MOH faq, before, between the 2 doses and 7 days after, no other types of vaccination. So should be ok when the week have passed.

Vietnam will still treat her as a Singaporean and she won't be allowed access for no good reasons. Maybe she has a spa business there.
