Everyone is entitled to their opinions but if you have colon cancer, would you listen to your GP, your oncologist or some of the forumers here? Many say no right or wrong, but they are clearly highlighting the risks but not the benefits. Sometimes there are many right answers, sometime there are many wrong answers. This is different from no right no wrong. Wrong answer: Vaccine is useless, vaccine is conspiracy, vaccine will alter dna, etc Many right answer: Vaccine still effective vs severe symptom, may have reduced effectiveness in transmission, etc Somehow I feel a lot of ppl out there confuse from unable to decide right answer switch straight away to "useless". This is just as dumb as the conspiracy theories ↡ Advertisement 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem so far has been reliance on one technology. Whilst it was good we eventually got the Moderna option to Pfizer, it's almost identical and doesn't actually provide that "Plan B" required. Since the beginning, work should have been to approve two different technologies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueray Hypersonic June 7, 2021 Author Share June 7, 2021 No need to use air purifiers at home, natural ventilation is key to reducing risk of Covid-19: NEA SINGAPORE - It is not necessary to use air purifiers at home, and people should instead adopt practices like opening doors or windows as much as possible to maximise natural ventilation to reduce the risk of getting exposed to Covid-19, says the National Environment Agency (NEA). This advice comes as sales of air purifiers went up in recent weeks following concerns that Covid-19 may spread through airborne transmission in some settings. While using the appropriate air purifiers can remove virus aerosols in the air, they cannot act as a substitute for good ventilation, NEA told The Straits Times. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/consumer/no-need-to-use-air-purifiers-at-home-natural-ventilation-is-key-to-reducing-risk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from how they held back Sinovax and allowed it now on special grounds, it looks like someone is working, verifying and planning the vaccination strategies. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurman Supercharged June 7, 2021 Share June 7, 2021 (edited) Anyone in construction? Construction supplies? Heres some stupidity: Dear Sir, Recently, the full implementation of the RRT swab tests for all personnels including delivery personnels has taken effect. There was so hiccups earlier due to BCA not opening up applications for non construction trades to apply. It has since been resolved and all logistics companies are complying. However, we received news of an absurd new pilot program where selected sites requires additional on-site testing of delivery persons. This is simply inhumane. Already, time is wasted on the bi-weekly RRT, to queue and get one swabbed takes an average of 2 hours. Okay, fine, we follow as we understand its necessary and since all workers living in dormitories are going through this. But its absurd to even suggest one to get a swab test done again before entering a construction site. The same delivery guy needs to deliver say 5 to 10 sites everyday. To do the same amount of swab test a day is simply insane, crazy. All our drivers threaten to quit and perhaps become a Grab Food or Panda delivery person. Why be subjected to being treated so lowly, like beggars or worse an animal. Imagine being swab test everyday, or worse every 5 times, 10 times a day. I think by the 3rd or 4th time, the drivers would need a new nose job. We will not adhere to such nonsense scheme and we suggest BCA to scrap this pilot trial. To adhere to this trial means all companies think this is a good idea, supporting this measures, but its the worse idea ever. Meanwhile for all such pilot sites, no deliveries of goods will be arranged to these sites. Imagine, to go to every hawker center, every shopping malls, to have a swab test on everyone entering these places. What chaos will it causes. Feedback to BCA. Those who are in this trade should know. Edited June 7, 2021 by Spurman typo error 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
