Excluding kids, roughly 90% are vaccinated vs 10% unvaccinated in the population. The seriously sick are about 50-50. So vaccinated is still about 10 times less likely to be seriously sick. That's a bet I have taken. And most of us will kena sooner or later. Hopefully there will soon be a vaccine that actually prevents infection. That will change the maths totally. ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think u got it all wrong, we sure got money to lock down but problem is lock down will reduce ur advantage in domestic and international trade cos many is opening up, including msia who still have hundreds of death daily as of yesterday. We Singapore is a very trade dependent nation, so opening up earlier than others will definitely give us a strong advantage but at what social cost is the worry. It's akin to early bird catches the worm aka 早起的鸟儿有虫吃. Actually if u look at the current worldwide covid trend, lock down style is getting less popular cos i think and i think only, is more people will die or severely impacted by poverty or other health/mental issues caused by the lock down then thru contracting covid. It's a fine balance, no right or wrong camp, in general i feel the rich will prefer lock down whereas the peasant will favor opening up, which most of u can guess why. P.S. I'm not PAP IB, me touched heart vote WP in Sengkang last election.. haha. Edited September 15, 2021 by Cheesey74 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know with more than > 50% certainty that the pandemic will end in 6 or 12 months? The original outbreak last year cost us $100b. To break Delta, we will probably need a stricter and tighter CB and perhaps for a longer period of time. How much for a CCB? With Covid fatigue, we might need CCP to do a CCB. Lol And while a CCB may be able to bring the number down for a few months, once KNN CCB measures are relaxed, numbers will shoot up again. It is already proven everywhere. So the cycle repeats itself, with no end in sight. It is a bottomless pit. Zero Covid is a pipe dream. Even CCP is finding it hard. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone wants to guess what will happen to our regional hub status while other countries open up? Actually this might be a good way to get rid of all the fake FTs and untalented locals. 😂 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you google GIC, MAS and Temasek, you can make a rough guess but noone really knows. A lot of money are however stuck in strategic national assets, we can't be selling DBS, SIA, SGX, PSA, Singapore Power, etc and we need to keep some to fight hypocrite speculators like George Soro. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic September 15, 2021 Share September 15, 2021 I am in the health and wellness industry and also in the transportation business and I am very affected. All the men buy new cars with high COE and money left for wife to go for massage. COE going up means more people buy new cars and less people buy used cars. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
