Should be for everyone who wants it.

I plan to switch to the token once it’s collected.
Actually I thought the token would facilitate better contact tracing since its always on, unlike the app where u have to on the Bluetooth for it to work.

More collection Centres for the tokens coming up nearer every constituencies, one at a time. No hurry.

This is encouraging; better than no protection

I do hope the vaccine is available and safe SOON…it’s really tiring to wear a mask.

It will surely be a while before the majority of the population will be eligible. In the early part of next year, I think only front-line workers and the most vulnerable will get it. The rest of us may have to wait much longer.

Agree. It has alr been announced that only the frontline staff will get the vaccines as they’re most exposed to covid risks, as they care for those needing health caring.

We shld still keep vigilant masks, hygiene & social distancing. The economy needs to recover & so thankful SG is opening up for for bz travel, family visits & others fr high risks countries are required to pre-trip testings. The economy shld rebound by next year. Hope those who lost jobs will quickly pick up new skills for the new economy & receive training for next long haul lap. We all need to adjust.

I find it stuffy wearing masks esp in non-aircon places, so try to stay within aircon areas but once home, R&R.

I'm fussy about masks - I mainly use simple cotton ones for short trips out, and I use the white ones given by Temasek and the NDP ones for longer days out. I avoid the thick ones. But I also try to stay in aircon places most of the time.
