Covid Situation in SG discussion (compiled)

Can you really not read?

 

On average, around 21,000 people die every single year in Singapore. The ‘additional’ in my sentence refers to those deaths that are in addition to the 1,030 covid deaths. The time period for covid deaths is about two years, so 40,000 additional deaths during that time would be about right, given the data available:
 

https://www.healthhub.sg/a-z/health-statistics/4/principal-causes-of-death

 

 

Wow! So basically, within 2 years, death due to COVID has made it into the top 10 causes of mortality in Singapore, and it is actually a condition which can be limited and controlled? Or are you going to hide and re-classify all those COVID-deaths to be caused by those "underlying conditions"? 

 

In the 1960s and 1970s or even 1800s when infectious diseases like leprosy was running rampant in the community, the government gets so scared and do everything they can to save lives. Now, they just let people die, even when it is now one of the top 10 causes of mortality in Singapore! 

 

Things have really regressed pretty far in the country, hasn't it? Thank you once again for scoring into your own goal by showing us where COVID-deaths stand, in terms of the Principal Causes of Death in Singapore. 

 

You are really as stupid as it can be!

Yes, HK and NZ dealt with the COVID control extremely well, such that even with the surge in the Omicron cases, they started with a low count and still ended up with a lower case count and lower death count than Singapore.

 

And as a matter of fact, thank you for pointing out the recent surge in the HK and NZ cases! Because it only goes to prove one thing: the one and only proven way to control the surge of the Omicron variant and any more new variant is to TIGHTEN THE CONTROLS EVEN FURTHER! 

 

No expenses should be spared to save human lives. If anyone is to die, it should be those who wanted to open the economy for their own selfish purposes! 

 

LOL! Thank you for letting us know that the measures in NZ and HK are not even good enough, just so that you can have an excuse to tell us to give up the fight and the resistance against COVID! You just shot into your own goal here! And like what was mentioned before, you really cast doubt on yourself as to whom your loyalty lies with.

you can’t even understand the difference between ‘dealt’ and ‘dealing’ - again, proving it is a waste of time to argue with you because your comprehension skills make it impossible.

My oh my! Using grammar as another single line potshot while you retreat?

 

OK, sure. Since I am having so much fun bashing you, let's talk about how HK and NZ are still "dealing" with the situation better: Singapore hospitals are having manpower shortages to the extent that your favorite jinx Minister of Health, who created the entire mess by pushing for such "endemic living" situation in the first place, is going around begging healthcare workers not to quit and praying for volunteers to go help out at the hospitals. Have you seen anyone dong that in NZ and HK yet? How's that for NZ and HK "dealing" with the situation much better? 

 

Happy now?

Sure, of course everyone everywhere is overwhelmed. Who isn't? You mean Singapore isn't? But did HK healthcare workers all started quitting like the way the Singapore healthcare workers did, because there was no light at the end of the tunnel but there are lots of patients buildup there? So how are they not dealing with the situation better? 

 

Besides, let's just say that I agree with you (only for the sake of bashing you) and say HK is not holding up better than Singapore despite their COVID restrictions, then it just goes to prove one point: Singapore should do an even stricter lockdown than what they have in HK to prevent the Omicron spread, isn't it? Hahahaha! 

 

Rather than spending your time embarrassing yourself here by scoring into your own goal over and over again, why not heed the call of your jinx Minister and go volunteer your services at the hospital to clean up the shit of the COVID patients whom you had put in there?

I guess literally all the articles were too complicated for you, if you still believe HK is holding up better than Singapore. 

Again, no need to for me to discuss this with you and embarrass you further by highlighting your ignorance yet again. You are already doing a great job embarrassing yourself with each post you make and are scoring own goal after own goal. 

 

[sgmaven]

Everyone was concerned during the Delta Wave, that people are dying at an unprecedented rate due to COVID. Now, a similar number are dying each day, but the government is no longer "concerned".

I guess all the articles were too complicated for you when the Singapore government went around begging for nurses and volunteers, and telling people not to see the GPs and doctors. 

 

Yes, HK is holding up much better, especially when China is backing it up so seriously and will never let it fall. And who went to back up the Singapore hospitals when all those nurses quit? Not the locals like you, and especially not those foreign nurses who left for home. LOL!  

 

Good luck thinking that HK and NZ is not handling it better!

Don't make me laugh. If other countries would have taken in flights from Singapore, Singaporeans and all the foreigners would have gotten to everywhere else also already. As a matter of fact, there were also articles talking about foreigners in Singapore making a beeline to leave the country during the pandemic period. As a matter of fact, several countries even listed Singapore to be an undesirable country to fly to and from during the country's pandemic period too. And didn't 🇺🇸 even listed Singapore's situation as been dangerously unknown for a while, till some Singapore ministers need to fly over to lie to the Americans that the Singapore government has a handle on the situation, even while the number of people infected per million population in Singapore became one of the highest in the world for countries of a meaningful size population?

And here someone is saying the HK is doing worse than SG? This reminds me of the time when that "xiasuay" remark was made. Like what some people had said in the past: Karma is watching. After so many insults from Singaporeans like you, HK deserves the chance to laugh at you again and again. Sg really deserves another lesson just so to whack people's arrogance like yours down by another notch or two.

Why do  we need to compare Hong Kong with Singapore?

 

We do not know what vaccinations they take ( at least I did not check).

 

Hong Kong has been trying to close borders to foreigners but still caught the Omicron Wave.

 

It is a result of the highly transmissible Omicron.

 

According to the media it was  brought to Hong Kong by two flight attendants from the HK airline, who flouted the social distancing rules and also at a Quarantine facility, where surprisingly the virus started spreading.

 

From what I read, elderly in HK seem to have a very low vaccination rate, therefore it is expected that HK will suffer up to 3,500 deaths.

 

The Omicron death rate in percentage would be approximately at 0.05. (rounded) to the total population.

We are comparing Hong Kong to Singapore because a moronic guest guest is convinced that Hong Kong is currently handling covid better than Singapore.

more the question is why you are gatekeeping (again) and inserting yourself in this topic if you haven’t read the posts, don’t understand why the topic is being addressed and have nothing to add to it?

VTL got economic value, need to save SIA and changi airport from bankruptcy. Also need to get in the workers, talents and investment. 

 

Removing restrictions  have little or zero economic value, so dont waste time.

Let me make it clearer for you. When we had low vaccination rates, the positive cases were around less than 50. Now with 90 percent of the population  fully vaccinated, cases of infection skyrocket to 10/20 thousand a day.

 

Any point with all the restriction, inconveniences and threats to livelihoods and shopping mall sanctions?

yes, I thought that was your point.
 

And it is an idiotic one because it doesn’t take into account the transmissibility of delta and especially omicron compared to original strain. It also doesn’t take into account the societal restrictions that were in place when cases were 50 a day or lower.

 

correlation is not causation, no matter how mush anti-vaxxers try and insist it is. 

[sgmaven]

Up till now, no one really has a deep understanding of the long-term impact of a COVID-19 infection on the body. We know that the SARS-CoV2 virus attacks the ACE-2 receptors in the body, but different variants seem to target the receptors in different parts of the body. Right now, most of the medical efforts have been focused on keeping those who have been infected from dying or requiring intubation, and much less has been done to study how the infection actually impacts the body in the longer term.

 

Already, researchers have noted the increased prevalence of diabetes amongst people who have had COVID-19. ACE-2 receptors are also found throughout the circulatory system, and attack by the SARS-CoV2 virus has been implicated for the prevalence of blood clots forming.

 

We all know that diabetes is a perpetual condition that requires life-long medication and care, so any increase in the incidence of diabetes in the general population will lead to an increase in overall healthcare costs. At the same time, the threat of blood clots forming in the blood vessels due to infection by the virus is a real one. And long term implications are not yet known.

 

Initially, the government undertook all healthcare costs of anyone infected with SARS-CoV2. Now, with the high number of infections, they are not even recording every case, or even asking all infected people to at least have a medical review post-infection and recovery.In other words, the cost of healthcare for this pandemic has been transferred from the government to every individual, right down to the Rapid Antigen Tests (unless you have been issued with a Health Risk Notification , the numbers of which have been drastically minimised).

 

In other words, those who contract long-term conditions like diabetes after recovering from COVID-19 can look forward to a lifetime of increased medical costs. The same with others who suffer from cardiac-related episodes post infection. And the government has quietly absolved themselves of the responsibility of looking after these patients, when it is them who allowed infection rates to go up by dismantling key control measures such as quarantine facilities, the primary use of PCR testing, as well as the shortening of quarantine/isolation periods.

 

I am sure someone in MOH has already done some models, but I do wonder if they have considered the increased burden of more diabetes cases, etc. into their calculations.

 

Let me reiterate. I am not advocating for a lock down, and it seems a little too late for that already, since PCR positivity rates have surged past 20% (remember when everyone was so worried about India when their Delta wave gave that kind of positivity rates?). However, I seriously wonder if anyone will be taken to task for the lack of proper ring-fencing of Omicron when it landed on our shores (by which time we already knew it was much more infectious)?

 

In most other countries, heads would have rolled, and people forced to resign. Meanwhile, in Singapore, these policy makers are still sitting pretty, when the healthcare workers are at wits end.

yes, I thought that was your point.
 

And it is an idiotic one because it doesn’t take into account the transmissibility of delta and especially omicron compared to original strain. It also doesn’t take into account the societal restrictions that were in place when cases were 50 a day or lower.

 

correlation is not causation, no matter how mush anti-vaxxers try and insist it is. 

 What has been done in the past is INEFFECTIVE. And current measures proving again the SAME. The infection figures speak very clearly.

 

Morons like you are so caught up in the covid narrative that any other way is not valid.

 

You want herd immunity? Remove all restrictions, let everyone mingle and natural immunity fight covid. You might as well right?

I think if you ask the man on the street about COVID-19 this time last year, people would have told you that they hoped that they would escape being infected. Now, I think most would respond that it is just a matter of time before they get infected.

OH MY GOODNESS!

 

So you suddenly become so concerned about "the transmissibility of delta and especially omicron" NOW? After all those "COVID bunkers" comment?? Talk about own goals! Go retreat into your "COVID bunkers" and slap yourself silly in there  now! Hahahahaha!

Are you keeping track of your own 🥅 score? It is going up and up! Well done!

Have you been whacked so much and so hard in the head that you don't even know where your own goal is anymore?? HAHAHA!

 

But it's good that you have been whacked so hard, cos you FINALLY want to "take into account the transmissibility of delta and especially omicron compared to original strain", which is something you so conveniently forget each time you want to harp on that "low death rate". And here you are, telling others that he "doesn’t take into account the transmissibility of delta and especially omicron compared to original strain"! Look who's talking! Hahahahaha!
