It’s simply a reflection of the general community cases. One adult family member catches it, then spreads it to the kids.I'll hate to be an alarmist but it seems more schools are affected this time round..

Covid-19: CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh) moves to home-based learning after student tests positive
This has been happening ever since the whole Covid thingy started. In several schools all over SG too.[/quote] -
SINGAPORE — Despite the emergence of a Covid-19 cluster among KTV lounges, three former nightlife establishments that converted to food-and-beverage (F&B) operations have had their food licences revoked, following enforcement checks over the past week by the authorities.
The establishments are The Charm at 150 South Bridge Road, Icon II at 35 Selegie Road and Frederico’s Paddles Too Pub and Cafeteria located at 11 East Coast Road.
They were found to have breached safety regulations to curb the spread of Covid-19 and must stop operations with immediate effect, the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) said in a statement on Friday (July 23).
These nightspots were caught for allowing the playing of games within their premises, failing to minimise interaction between staff members and customers, as well as providing hostessing services.
Of the three venues, two were caught breaking the rules before the mandatory two-week suspension of operations imposed on nightspots from July 16 to 30.
One of them — Federico’s Paddles Too Pub and Cafeteria — broke the rules after the suspension was put in place.

Well, comparing with Figure 14, effectiveness against mild or asymptomatic infection of Delta looks pretty much like zero for the 61-70 and above 70 groups. The numbers for the other age groups are not comparable. :siam:
Others may have already seen this but looks like the MOH releases from 20 July, 21 July, and 22 July have added a breakdown on cases and vaccination status by age group. See Figure 3 - this is a bit more granular than the old Figure 8 (now Figure 10).

So don't act like heroes just because vaccinated. Sure kena!
On the other hand, it is about 100% against serious infection.
Question: Does getting infected with Delta after full vaccination act like a booster shot?

Like I said, 88% my foot. And 69% my foot.
Should just concentrate on the 90 something plus against serious infection. -

I didnt know they have so many graphs on their website. MOH website is the worst corporate website I've ever navigated. They need to have a left panel of menu.

Every day I only look at Fig 3 & Fig 5 and now I see a new Figure 8. If only they could merge them somehow so people can see that unvaccinated cases are mostly the ones requiring O2 support/ICU.
Hundreds of other asymptomatic cases are resting at D'resort or other CCFs for all I care. OYK said 1,000 is our ICU capacity (''for Covid purpose''), right? Only 2 beds are taken so far.
NB: I may not have gotten the breakdown correctly cos MOH doesn't provide enough details.

And when they do, they do it in a way that makes it difficult for people to compare. It's as if they do it on purpose. :rant:

The messenger has already degraded 48hrs after each of your 2 doses, and the jabs are FOC, why do you 耿耿于怀 for so long? You're feeling cheated? OYK has already said we can switch to another brand after next CNY when we're due for booster shots. You can switch to Sinovac or Novavax next year.

If there are so many pp like you who continue to 叽叽歪歪 唱衰, then more elderly will listen to you pp and won't jab, and all the vaccinated pp will have to accompany the unvaccinated indefinitely!
Just leave the evangelism to the ground workers and let them do the door-to-door talk. Don't add salt and pepper at the kopitiam. -
Those charts are pretty useless. 没有重点. What is the message MOH wants to tell and is the message coming across strongly?
So 2 non-vaccinated folks above 70yo required ICUs. I can speculate that the 2 are cancer patients thus their immune systems are weak, doctors have certified they are not suitable for vaccination. Every aunty/uncle at the kopitiam can spin their own stories. If MOH really want to tell a story, then MOH focus on a few parameters that can carry the points across to convince the old folks to go vaccinate.

Look at the above chart. 一片绿油油! If one is non-vaccinated, see already also not worried, how to have the motivation to get vaccinated? Hubby says MOH chart is focused on the wrong thing, should focus on the severe cases which only involve the partially vaccinated and non vaccinated. Worse still, based on the chart, given that the fully vaccinated positive cases outnumber the partially and non vaccinated ones, it may give rise to the wrong interpretations that being fully vaccinated makes one more susceptible or that vaccination doesn’t work at all. -

I've felt this about the MOH data for the past months, especially as the data is more complex now - by vaccination status, with a partially vaccinated population, etc. They should get MCI to help present the info - presumably (maybe I'm wrong) MCI will have people more able to present a clear message?

if govt wants to convince seniors to be vaccinated, then just harp on how many unvaccinated seniors in ICU etc when infected. At times, we need to use scare technique to move pple.
