Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

[Imp75]

Will schools around the Redhill bukit merah areas be asked to continue HBL until.cluster is controlled? Already i heard a few school pupils were part of this cluster.

That’s my worry…those active clusters, still in ‘catching’ process.


I was feeling should be ok till yesterday…maybe nearer to school reopening probably lol… If still in process of ring fencing, can we do a ‘release’? Wouldn’t it make the spread bigger?

I went out yesterday, so many more people around le.

The kids may be going to schools in many parts of Spore.

Hi Mks!
(1) I doubt there are changes - my teens just received their schedules (after school trainings for some school event-stuff, etcetera) for Term 3 first week
(2) Most schoolmates are already vaccinated (the first Pfizer dose), so less worries bah

Sky, I m not sure..I keep reminding dds next week start going to school but in a corner of my heart I m hoping for it esp for the primary. Even tho it makes dd become less disciplined or whatever.. all other things to me seem less important.

If only vaccination can solve the problem..Vaccination may open up to easier movement between countries..that is something to look forward to though. I feel that I m ok to live with the virus just hope for higher protection to all levels of people. Hope scientists/med people are able to come out with more and better solutions soon..

I think it will proceed. The Term 3 re-opening is already staggered so that not the entire school will go back 1st week.

Ytd I brought DS out for a long-awaited dine-in ramen lunch, saw no less than 10 students in uniform along our drive there (and also in the mall). Got secondary school as well as primary school kids. Was thinking did they go back for projects? CCA? Supp class? Can’t be student care right, hanging out at lunch time.[/quote]

Graduating students given the extra help/guidance/supplementary/remedial/consultation before school starts?[/quote]Yup, I'm guessing, students sitting for Olevel papers?, cos the school sent us early dismissal notice for 06 July (MT LC)

My dd hopes for an under-12 covid vaccine to be available soon in Singapore. Other than high risk activities, we pretty much adapt, learn to live with covid; so she chooses in-person tuition classes over hybrids/ online-ones

Below age 12: kids?
Age 13 to 18: ???
Above 19: adults?

Below 12 = children

Are you guys requiring your private tutors to swab with ART before going to your place for tuition?


Surprised my tutor WA me the ART negative result image. I didnt ask for it. In any case, we can’t even prove whose result that belongs to. LOL.

My tutor wanna take S. Not sure if you guys are asking for tutors’ vaccination status update or will that be too rude?

Pharma do not want us to use anti-viral med, as it will make their vaccine obsolete/unnecessary. When anti-viral is effective, very few people will die of covid. And there will be no fear factor and their hundreds of billion dollars vaccine revenue per year will be down the drain. They will try their very best to make every online platform censor any such news about anti-viral med from you the public.

Vaccine + treatment go hand in hand. Both vaccine + cure mfrs will have buyers, so don't you worry! You use the cure, you are also helping the shares of that pharma which developed/sells the cure to shoot up, no? :slapshead:

H1N1 vaccine + Tamiflu
Chicken pox/Shingles vaccine + Zovirax

Right now, they probably are using a cocktail of antiviral drugs to treat positive cases. E.g. Remdisivir by Gilead.

Of course there's Regeneron's REGN-COV2, ''similar'' to that cocktail used by Donald Trump last year, thanks to the plasma from Singapore's recovered patients.

And Singapore's working on Tychan.

Low mortality rate dont just happen miraculously. Somebody is paying for your 1-5 mth hospitalisation and very expensive antibodies therapy.

You have seen the no. of oximeters Temasek had shipped to India - >50,000! Those BiPAPs, Advanced Medtech ICU-grade ventilators, smart gas cylinders, etc.

The high % of UNvaccinated not dying here in Singapore is partly due to the abovementioned equipment and our national stockpile of antiviral drugs that they're using on symptomatic cases in hospitals.

So don't take everything for granted, naively thinking that Delta is actually not very lethal leh; after all, every day only 20+ cases in Singapore, so I just wait and wait for the miracle cure like a hunter waiting under a tree for his rabbit.

We're extremely lucky we're living in Singapore. If in backward India, and you still don't want to vaccinate, you may end up with either black fungus or Long Covid if you don't die.
