I'm surprised that Singapore isn't looking to emulate what South Korea did to control/lower cases, after all South Korea spiked because of a super spreader.

if you see No of population tested per millions, Singapore is one of the highest and this leads to more being tested positive.   Many countries have low confirmed cases because they conducted less tests.  See this example:  if you don’t take your examination, you’ll never fail your exam.  Therefore, you have no failure rate but is this true?  I trust our government is doing for our own good, we would rather identify the “confirmed cases” rather than let them hidden among the population and then explode in the near future.  Be faithful that we can overcome and of course, it takes everyone to be social responsible.

Most of the test are at dormitories, how many are they testing on local communities? Looking at test per million is flawed if you are testing one particular group which is driving up the numbers. Another is how many test are being conducted daily? Look at what they are not revealing and you can see where the weak links are.

Your whitewashing of the government is nauseating. If you are looking at the number of tests done per million population, why don't you look at the data from Hong Kong. They have done 17,579/mil population as compared to our 16, 203/mil population. And yet Hong Kong cases of 1030 is so much better than our 9125.

 

There is not a single angle through your rose-tinted glasses that can show me that our government is doing a good job and that we should have faith in them.

This is weird .....! https://www.moh.gov.sg/news-highlights/details/strong-national-push-to-stem-spread-of-covid-19  It says here 

 

"13        Besides the dormitories, we are also dealing with the situation of migrant workers living in shophouses, private housing and HDB flats. In light of the increasing number of COVID-19 cases involving migrant workers in the construction sector, about 180,000 construction Work Permit and S Pass holders (and their dependents) have been placed on mandatory SHN from 20 April to 4 May 2020. This is a precautionary measure to minimise the risk of further community transmission of COVID-19. " 

 

but yet MOM webpages says that there has never been a year that there were less than 280,000 work permits alone given out in the whole year alone. https://www.mom.gov.sg/documents-and-publications/foreign-workforce-numbers

 

Pass type	Dec 2014	Dec 2015	Dec 2016	Dec 2017	Dec 2018	Jun 2019
Employment Pass (EP)	178,900	187,900	192,300	187,700	185,800	189,000
S Pass	170,100	178,600	179,700	184,400	195,500	197,800
Work Permit (Total)	991,300	997,100	992,700	965,200	972,600	981,000
Work Permit (FDW)	222,500	231,500	239,700	246,800	253,800	255,800
Work Permit (Construction)	322,700	326,000	315,500	284,900	280,500	284,300

 

 

What happened to the other 100,000 construction work permits??? Where are they??? This COVID-19 is really revealing a lot of skeletons inside the closet ...

[lonelyglobe]

Just to announce extension of CB? I tot someone is going to say sorry for messing up the dormitory infections and the subsequent extension of CB. 

 

Anyway,  just watch a briefing in Taiwan where the army chief commander  apologise for the infections of some 24 navy personnel on board a vessel after returning from an overseas training trip. Amazing also to see how the reporters can question them in the Q & A session if someone will be resigning and take full responsibility. 

 

But here, 9125 cases still like no body's fault and can get away easily.

Instead of sorry, they said they see good results from CB.. . No wonder they wear white, like to whitewash.

Look at how the lady minister answering the question....

[Guest Hairy]

Even hair salons and barbers closed, cannot look nice during CB period, and the weather is so farking hot.

[fourth]

i personally think an Area / Zone lock down combined with a nation-wide testing is both faster and more efficient than extending a stricter CB for another friggin month. 

 

logistically, i think they CAN handle it. 

 

anyways, here're some basic maths for those of you who prefer to let facts do the talking:

 

Apr 1st - 1000 cases

Apr 8th - 1623 (623 increase, or 1.6x everything up till this point)

Apr 15th - 3252 (1629 increase, or 2.6x from Apr 8th)

Apr 22nd (not counting the figures for today) - 9125 cases (5873 increase, or 3.6x from Apr 15th)

 

Any mathematicians here able to tell us what kind of growth are we looking at?

South Korea is geographically larger than Singapore, and they also have a high density population per square as well. One key difference is that their government literally has an alert system that sends a warning to all their citizens that tracks the last location where a suspected/confirmed case has been (after contact tracing is done), and for all their citizens to temporarily steer clear of those areas. The warning system also indicates in colour how long has it been since the suspected/confirmed cases were in the area (this is especially important since scientists confirmed that the virus is able to stay dormant in the environment).

I don't know if our government is capable of this however, not sure if we have the logistics or technology ready for it.

Of course they can handle any nation-wide testings. It's just that, as usual, the foreigners are more important than Singaporeans so they must be tested first.

So far they finally revealed yesterday they are only doing about 3000 test per day, mostly on foreign workers in dorms. We have wat? 400,000 of them in the dorms, that will take us around 4 months to test all of them.

You are right, I just found this article: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/singapore-must-test-a-lot-more-for-covid-19-before-circuit-breaker-can-be-lifted-gan-kim-yong-132743545.html

 

And if they are testing 2800 - 3000 foreign workers each day, and we are reporting maybe 1000-plus infection nowadays, that will mean perhaps 30% to 50% of the tested dormitory workers are getting infected already. This makes the infection rate on the Diamond Cruise looks like child's play here. And if we are looking at testing 200,000 - 300,000 construction workers who were given work permits last year, what's the mathematics going to be like?

Diamond princess infection rate is 20%, so we are looking at 60,000 for 300,000. Even base on a 10% rate,  the figure will be 30,000. Long way to go......

Don’t forget, a test today clears you does not mean you’ll pass a test 5 days later. In addition, the ~3000 test does not mean unique person tested, it also includes some in the community, but it does not say how many are retested cases.

Coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different strains, Chinese study finds

 

The results showed that medical officials have vastly underestimated the overall ability of the virus to mutate, in finding that different strains have affected different parts of the world, leading to potential difficulties in finding an overall cure. The study, which was carried out by professor Li Lanjuan and colleagues from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, was published in a non-peer reviewed paper released on Sunday.

 

More than 30 different mutations of the virus were detected, of which 19 were previously undiscovered.

 

Li’s team found that some of the most aggressive strains of the virus were able to generate 270 times the viral load as the weakest strains; in addition, the aggressive strains killed the human cells fastest.

You know what our pm is great at doing.. that's call acting.. why??

 

oh those BS he's been feeding the world, there's no poor & homeless people in singapore.. and suddenly there was news abt homeless people sleeping in churches, nowhere to go.. jobless people.. actual veterans of this God forsaken tropical floating financial hub popping up in all the media sources..

 

plus the dorms infections blown so wide open.. he was seen as some evil dictator (can be compared to the north korean, Fat Boy Kim) making the 3rd world folks living in dire environments.. plus there were video recordings of workers suffering in the dorms sending out mixed signals to the media.. 

 

so therefore he's putting so much effort into those foreign workers' dorms.. he's praying that most of them will be thankful for whatever he & his bunch of wankers are doing, then he's able to entice them with the PR status (dangling the carrot) so after this whole fuck shit on covid get blown over.. if pple wanna migrate, he will smile & say, thank u, the door is there, please make ur own way out & please kindly close the door after u leave.. so he can get new singaporeans to replace those who left. And he will be seen as the hero of the day.

Perhaps is time for the world to see our "golden standard" in treating those workers and improve living conditions in the future?  So as to bring in another 300,000 workers?

 

The key should be to reduce the number,  why must all mega projects start at the same time? No one cut grass,  then remove it completely. So much grass for what? Better plant more vegetables and get the retirees to help out. No one collect rubbish?  Follow Taiwan way,  the rubbish truck came and everyone just bring out their rubbish to throw.

Because the bosses are happy, got so many slaves work for them. Some more they pay levy. So all the stake holders are happy wat...

After covid 19, must bring in more foreign workers..maybe 1.5million

So got ppl

1) cut grass

2) build house

3) clear rubbish

4) join parliament

1. Stop free use of toilet like in Europe, toilets are chargeable at train station and Shopping Centre.

2. Throw your own like in taiwan, u only need a driver. 

3. Build so many flats to prepare for 10 million population?

4. A lot of places are using local aunties and uncles, make every sporean return their own plates by fine and jail for repeat offenders. Not wearing mask can be fined,  so not returning plates definitely can be fined too. 

5. How often is painting carry out? 

 

Agreed we cannot do without them but it will be a easy and lazy way out. The key is to reduce dependency and yes is a difficult issues and that's why we are paying million dollars for whoever can solve this problem.

To be honest, I don't get any feeling that the PAP government knows what it is doing, and what it is supposed to do at all. All they are doing now is to mimic what other countries had done, and also follow what the ancient textbooks had taught them about contact tracing. They have no plans, no clues, and no vision as to how we should be moving forward at all. 

 

Everyone knows very well that keeping all of us at home will not make the virus go away miraculously. Even mild cases in isolation wards are still given treatment. And even after treatments, reinfections may still happen again.

 

The only reason I can think as to why they want to keep us all at home for as long as possible, is to hope that those infected starts showing symptoms at home, or wait for the asymptomatic cases to infect their own family members enough that at least one of them will show symptoms to identify the entire family as being infected. Isn't that what they are doing to the foreign workers now : isolating them, containing the spread within each "cell", and monitor their situation more intensively? 

 

I think they are playing with our lives here. They really should be doing mass community testings on the citizens already, instead of keeping us all at home and wait for the infected  to further infect their own family members. 

 

And the funny thing is how they have already said they have local test kits suppliers, but they are still buying the test kits from overseas to "keep our options open". How is buying test kits from overseas "keeping our options open"? Is someone overseas (or even locally under the table) profiting seriously from these test kits..?

I totally agree with you!! Thats why this CB is bullshit. If it works theoretically, other countries would have seen effects. 

And now cut hair is non essential. Laugh

Wearing masks is good. Social distancing is ok. Solo Staying Home Notification to observe your own condition for 14 days or maybe even 4 weeks after possible contact is maybe still acceptable. 

 

But now, instead of doing mass community diagnosis which other countries have started doing a month ago, the idea of getting everyone to stay home for 1 month, or maybe even 2 months, is really just trying to risk our lives and wait for asymptomatic infected to infect his own family members, just so that the telltale symptoms can show in one of them.

You pay peanuts you get monkeys, fair enough. You pay millions doesnt mean you will get good people. 

You pay them millions every year only makes them talk like millionaire.
