SINGAPORE — Employers have one day to implement a snap 14-day work-from-home (WFH) regime for all employees, if any of them test positive for COVID-19 and were at the workplace on any of the past seven days.

I think they must have more of this kind of rules and regulation then everybody will scared. 

One block of flat kena, all cannot leave the block for 14 days

One hawker centre kena, all cannot operate, or make it loser a bit, one row kena all cannot operate for 14 days

One Gym kena, all cannot operate for 14 days

I am sure from owners to customers, all will watch out for one another and make sure they don't kena. This is call "Ring Fencing"

Reminds me of NS

Don't you think it may become effective. I believe Chinese are also like this. You can see villages block out outsiders cos if they get hit. Maybe the Village head going to get it.

As for the no smoking issue in coffeeshop and places. If the smoker is fined, the owner also fined. All keep a look out.

"We must remember something else: the risk of being wrong. We will inevitably make mistakes. The measures we take to contain coronavirus might do more damage to people’s livelihoods than necessary. Or we might allow the virus too much leeway, needlessly ending lives. In a spreading pandemic, the second mistake is much harder to repair than the first.

Fighting this virus demands economic sacrifices: not without limit; and not without end. But if not now, then when?"

Like I said, there are no good outcomes, just damage control.

Repeated CB is also not sustainable in the long run, CB affects the lower income a lot more. 

The real cost of lockdowns are not fully reflected in the numbers. Suicide and depression are on the rise. All these half past six measures telling people to avoid social gatherings at work is nonsense. And what is non essential social gathering?  Lol

If scared, do a HA and spend the money.  Voluntary is not going to work very well with current state of Covid fatigue.

Yes and no.  You are right.  But the thing is, when there was a shortage of vaccines, the justification for lengthening the interval was because antibodies would be increased. Which is fine.  Except when then supplies are back, the intervals are shortened again.

Which means you did not believe the lengthening of intervals were useful.

Reminds me of healthy don't wear mask.  You gave the advice not because you believed in it but because of other considerations.  Which is dangerous in a pandemic when you need people to support you.

yes when vaccine supplies were replenished and plentiful, the jab interval was reverted to 3 wks for Pfizer (4 for Moderna) and people who had booked 6 (or 8 ) week gaps were able to reschedule their 2nd jabs for an earlier date. 

but not to forget, there was a concerted effort to get people to get the 2nd jab ASAP in order to meet the 80% target before NDP 😁

only later did i read abt the increased efficacy from having the longer interval. If i had known this, i would have maintained my original (longer) interval. Screw the NDP target.

No comment.

Not matter what I said it will end up as something unethical in your mindset.😓

Having read this article I got the impression that Dale Fisher is a economic professor or businessman instead of what is printed on his name card. He only ever talks about economy, affected business, socialising and travelling. This guy is a gem. No wonder 160 loves this "infectious disease consultant".

Just hope his stupidity is not infectious among the general public. There are still good folks who have more common sense, and knew the difference between the words of a mouthpiece, and well meaning actual advice.

By not giving the unlink numbers,  I am concern that people may just think that everything is fine and throw caution out of the window.

Think majority people got their 2nd dose 3 weeks for Pfizer and 4 weeks for Moderna. Maybe only some people got their 2nd dose longer interval due to the supplies shortage.

Today my employee's family member has a positive PCR and everyone in my company freaks out, including me. He went for a PCR earlier and now waiting for his result. Meanwhile his ART thankfully was negative.

I keep hearing people say this is just a flu and it is not a serious illness after vaccination. Well, almost everyone in my company is vaccinated and yet they freaked out. They were so concerned and kept asking me and his manager for the result. His iPhone was inundated with questions after questions by fellow colleagues.

We should seriously invite those people (who think covid is a flu) to go and French kiss my staff's family, including Dale Fisher, limelight hog and Donkey Cheng.
