My opinion is this is just OYK's excuse for his failure to even follow through his own plan.
OYK is just looking out for those unvaccinated persons.
How can he 敢敢来 to demo to the world how living with C19 is like, when some of you & DC don't even want to receive 2 shots to support him?
You need 2/3 to go endemic. 1/2 is not enough. Go read his latest FB post.
On 16 Jul 2021, OYK said the key indicator of further tightening is not the case number, but the number of people requiring ICU care. When he announced a new PH2A on 19 Jul 2021, the number of ICU case remains at 1 (no change). As of yesterday, the number of ICU case is still 1. And if you look at MOH's data for infected persons 60 years old and above who are unvaccinated or vaccinated with one shot, there are only 32 persons (22 unvaccinated and 10 vaccinated with one shot). Even if we assume 100% of them go ICU (statistically impossible scenario), that is still way below threshold possible to overwhelm our 1,000 ICUs bed capacity.
We really need someone with a steady hand and self-confidence to be in charge.

The two letters are worded very differently although both letters were dated yesterday and the students were last in school on Friday 16 July.
Wonder if there has just been another change in the policy of contact tracing and isolating for cases affecting students if it is determined that transmission most likely occurred in the same household and not in the school itself.
Quote from Zhenghua Primary School's letter :
\"In consultation with MOE and MOH, no students or staff need to be placed on Leave of Absence or Quarantine Order and all school activities will continue as scheduled.\"
(Note : The Zhenghua Pri student was well when in school)

The biggest cluster is from the Fishery Port. The increase in numbers ricolet & it’ll burden the frontliners as we can see how traces HC been found in 4 blocks of Sims Ave resulting in manpower being activated to put notices to every residents in the 4 blocks & visits to every unit to these 4 blocks. Not going back to HA2 phase May result in numbers going higher. This is not the time for any MTF to recommend any lax stance nor any minister to toy with for political scores. Bite the bullet & curb the spread. Delta may not be as deadly to send ppl to ICU but it’ll nevertheless cause damages to the health of any unfortunate victim, young or old. Let’s be patient.
On the side, just thinking of UK high vaccination rates of elderly if it’s gotta do with how swiftly the Royal family reacted to ‘seclude’ themselves in their castles & getting themselves vaccinated. Afterall, they’re the figurehead of the country. If LKY or wife still around & the media shows them getting their vaccination, wld our elderly vaccination numbers go up?
I know elderly can get very stubborn even if u threatened them. I know my late mum wld hv rebelled even when I reasoned for her to treat herself to good purchases of more expensive unrottened food, she wld fight back that even if she fall sick she won’t go pay for medical & can still save. How to fight the stubborness but to coerce & sweet talk? Tough! Just recalling the fight with my late mum & FIL alr sends me the cringe. Fortunately, MIL is very different & super cooperative. She was eagerly waiting for her 1st jab & when didn’t get any after-shot effects till 2nd jab, she’ll still jive abt loosing the 2nd battle with fever after 2nd jab but declared joyously she won the battle on 2nd day when the fever subsided. We love her to bits as she’s the precious treasure of our family now. -

Maybe they can be brought on a free tour (or watch video of) what NCID patients on oxygen have to go though.

Don’t want to shake their life till covid shake them up. I don’t know if grandchildren (if these elderly have any), will help encourage them to go for it, esp if grandchildren are big enuf to accompany.

My own mum, on the other hand, has her own fixed way of thinking & we just have to let her be. Let some external parties do the persuasion. She still treats us as young kids while she is the big matriarch. -

My FIL same same as yr mum. Whatever we may say, he wldn’t listen. Bring in ano older (or he’ll dominate any conversation or debate with younger elderly) and FIL will be less acrimonious with respect. We’ve also ‘trained’ DS to chat up our elderly esp the stubborn ones & most times succeed in getting them to listen to him. FIL always look fwd to his visit coz he’ll show FIL how to navigate his hp (whatsapp, FB, YouTube, etc). I guess it helped coz he had been trained to engage elderlies since Pri sch days in visiting elderlies and doing ICT training with them. Till today, he’s still eager to participate in any programmes that engage elderlies in learning/relearning. Hope he continues to contribute his love for our elderly community. So, whatever it takes lah. Train our kids to bridge that communication gap with our elderlies if we hv difficulties getting to our elderlies. It work both ways to help our youngsters to share their kindness & love with neighbors in our community.
