He added that "there seems to be some indication that the efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines could be waning a bit faster (for the elderly) than the rest of the population, perhaps due to their physiological make-up". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say for example 1 or several SDA. Police officer in uniform is quite reassuring in SIngapore but remember that SDA are not professionals but temp jobs. While I am not too worried if I am the one at home when they come, I am very supportive of them carrying out their work, though nobody (who is not doing a job) had visited my home since pandemic started. Not even my parents, relatives or friends. I am more concern if lady or young kid alone at home when they come. I would tell my wife and kid to wait for me to come home first, and that is what I will do immediately. https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/explainer-legal-powers-covid-19-safe-distancing-enforcement-officers-search-homes 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man, who was unvaccinated, was 13 days into home isolation after testing positive when his health deteriorated rapidly, the authorities said, adding that he lived with one person who had been hospitalised with the virus. The death highlighted the risk from the virus and the importance of getting vaccinated, said health leaders, who have set a target of having half of Sydney's population inoculated before lifting the city's lockdown by a target date of Aug 28." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have started with this to begin with. IMO, one of the challenges with the mRNA vaccines is the need to be stored and distributed at ultra low temperature. Pfizer one need like -70 C and Moderna one -20 C. These temperatures may pose logistical challenges for poorer 3rd world countries Edited August 4, 2021 by Starry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
