Covid-19 isn't just a respiratory disease. It hits the whole body

The day before, TV news reported more and more children and teens (below the age of 15yo) in NYC and some western countries develop complications Kawasaki-like symptoms etc.

I recalled watching channel 8 news, two experts talked about this, nothing much but repeat some basic facts like in SG, our children did not develop these symptoms unlike the westerners. I wonder why so far, nobody talked about SG children receiving BCG vaccination, which probably is one reason why the children who kena covid, showed only mild symptoms. Guess either the experts do not believe OR they have not followed up on the academic work on BCG and Covid-19.

There was a Programme on CNA last month on the importance of BCG/immunization for babies & kids under MOH prescribed list & how some parents regretted for not letting their kids do those coz of their belief (misplaced belief?) it might lead to autism etc and some parents who were living overseas & didn’t get their children back SG to do those immunizations. Some tried esp arrange when homeleave to SG & make appointments for their kids to immunize.

Immunization only do so much. As our climate & lifestyle changes, we need to be prepared hv to face with new viruses as a way of life moving fwd. Makes our scientists work very much harder for testing, vaccines & cures.

COVID has taught us many lessons in life abt our abilities to face fears, uncertainty how to fight against the new unknown & human life. How we view life & cope with it as a nation and as a global ppl since we yearn to travel, get connected, socialize & expand bz - COVID has been much facilitated by our travels & connectedness. We cannot avoid it, nor shld we expand time on blame games, but learning to tackle it constructively & working together as a human race to find the best vaccine & sharing these precious life saving test kits even with the marginalized & poorest of people in our world. Very humbling experience to me.

There are 2 clinical trials on Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination protection against COVID-19.

Your girls are born in SG right? Have they been vaccinated with BCG?

If yes, unlikely to develop serious complications even if they get infected. Plus they will likely be masked up with proper social distancing so risks of infection are low.

Look at US/Europe (Italy etc), even though they are developed countries, their vaccination program doesn’t appear to be mandatory and allows opting out with all the childhood diseases making a comeback even before Covid-19.

Friend’s kids born in US, back in SG for 1-2yrs, she doesn’t believe in vaccines, thinking vaccines will make her children autistic, thus, her kids never attended a single day in school. The eldest one already 7yo doesn’t know A B C cos never attend school.

Unlikely to resume straightaway. They’ll probably want to monitor situation first. Plus keeping CCA on hold will limit mixing between various levels & classes.
