Interesting info...
I can confirm that you don’t need to bother checking out with the TT app. It will use your Bluetooth range to sense accurately where you are. Hence it is much better than Singpass app.
Yesterday I checked in my kid and myself at one shopping mall cos dropped him off for lesson. I walked out of the mall to another mall across the road. Didn’t check out becos the Safe Entry Pass was for 2 pax. If I checkout then his Pass would be lost.
So I finished running my errands at the other mall. When I wanted to enter the first mall again, I looked around in my TT app for the original Safe Entry Pass. Couldn’t find it. Checked in “History” tab, the app actually showed my location from what time to what time at the correct malls. The TT Bluetooth was accurate and I didn’t have to checkout by pressing or scanning anything. The app knew I had left the building.

Tracetogether isn't supposed to be using locations, so how would it know that you have left the building?
The bluetooth function is supposed to only scan & connect to nearby people's bluetooth for close contact tracing. -

Maybe the check in point for the mall acts as a location info in the app. Just to help u remember where you’ve been. Technically if everyone in SG is using TT, we don’t need to check in anywhere at all mah.

The Bluetooth can sense other TT users, but of course neither party is able to view the user ID or info. Only if MOH needs it for contact tracing purposes (confirmed Covid patient) then user will be given an upload PIN code to upload the history. -

We are slowly gaining control over the virus for sure! If we have enough vaccines we should cover whole population in 2-3 months. As the effectiveness of the vaccine is still too early to tell in real life post inoculation, hopefully everyone still keep the guard up. No one is safe until everyone is safe. -

I haven't collected the token yet.
Finally restocked and there was no queue when I went to collect earlier. Entire process took less than 5 mins.

1). Regarding the 3500+ live chicken suffocated to death in the causeway jam, I hope something can be done to improve the processes. Like get a team of workers wearing PPE to receive the goods at a point. If drivers all masked up and our team wearing PPE receiving goods from them will kena Covid, hospital staff all kena liao.
If a police dog can be tested positive for covid, why can’t live chickens also bring in Covid? Do we need to swab all the live chickens then? Don’t swab drivers only for the sake of swabbing.

2). Now that there are UK strains arriving in SG, hope the SHN duration can be increased from 14 to 21days.
3). Previously the TT token will only register down when a patient comes into contact with someone for min of 20 mins. The 20 mins is based on studies for the 1st covid strain from Wuhan right? How about the recent few mutations which reported to be 70% more infectious? Still 20 mins? -
For the past wk or so, we had no community and dorm cases. Why suddenly 3 in the community? Where and how did they catch the virus?

As long as asymptomatic cases exist, there is the risk that there will be some transmission. Those cases may not know that they have it, and if the ones they spread it too are also asymptomatic, and they are not in the groups that are under surveillance testing, they will not be picked up. The way to reduce the spread is for more people to be vaccinated so hopefully the spread will be limited (not that there will be no spread), or if every person remains totally isolated, which is not realistically possible. I get quite annoyed when I hear people tell me (like some of colleagues) that \"My parents don't go out at all, and we are not in the older age group, so we all don't need the vaccination.\" But the children can't be vaccinated, and they go to school, and surely they will visit their grandparents occasionally. And just going to the supermarket, or to the office, will have some risk, and they might bring the virus to their elderly parents.

I just read this - Commentary: We may not see it yet. But COVID-19 vaccines will help us faster than we think

All the old folks from the various old folk homes have taken the covid vaccination? So far all ok?
For old folks to take the vaccination, I find it very tricky. On the one hand, old folks should go for the jab, but on the other hand, if there’s any serious complication arising from the vaccination, it can be fatal.
My grandmother is already in her 90s. Most of my family members think she should not go for the jab. I guess we all know that visitors may also bring the virus to her even if old folks stay at home but I do not wish to keep pushing my 90+ yr granny to jab, else should anything happen I would be the 千古罪人.
To be fair, not just old folks are excusing themselves from the vaccination. I heard even young people (e.g. some in the uniformed groups/hospitals), and those trying to get pregnant etc. also avoid taking the vaccine.
