      I don't think it's just public transport, or classrooms, or offices, or markets... it will be everywhere. We can't just hide in case future mutations are more severe - where will it end? In any case, I believe it is known that kids generally do not get as seriously ill with Covid.

      Thank you for the link. However it is still worrying when one sees so many schools reporting cases daily. Do take a look at how many cases there are currently. It is likely to keep going, if we don’t stay away.

      My point is that it isn't going to go away. Even if we shut down schools to protect kids from Covid, it will still spread elsewhere and eventually to some kids. An adult may bring it home from the office, or relative from somewhere else. How long can kids be kept at home without suffering other harms (emotional, social, educational)? And if everything that poses a risk of the spread of Covid gets shut down, economic necessity and human nature will make that a short-lived period (look at Australia).[/quote]Totally understand what you are saying. Although covid is here to stay, the numbers happening in schools is way higher than before due to a few clusters explosion these few weeks. Let it slow down its process. I’m pretty sure the numbers in schools wouldn’t be so rapid/high if not for the current exposure.

          A lot of helpers I know already completed their 2nd dose. They registered as soon as their phase came up.

            Who are the people dying of Covid now? There's a totally new kind of patient, say doctors - in their 40s, previously well... but unvaccinated

              When I was getting my 2nd dose, saw plenty of helpers (age ~20?) getting their 1st dose.

              Many of the professions that contact a lot of people also recently getting their 1st & 2nd doses (age 20-30). Couriers, office errand runners, contractors etc. Sad that they had to wait so long on account of their youth, but good that they have protection now.

                Double-jabbed PIERS MORGAN reveals how he caught Covid at the chaotic Euros final - leaving him with a raging fever and fearful but concludes that if that is as bad as it gets for vaccinated people then we MUST to learn to live with it

                I'm a mega big fan of Piers Morgan. Absolutely hooked to his column! I watched his https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq18eeL7D9Vd8DhjMcLh9QQ regularly before he resigned over Meghan Markle!

                He was double jabbed with AZ, for info.

                Sajid Javid also got Covid after EURO2020. He too got 2 shots of AZ.

                      We have been reading mandatory testing for hdb blocks. So far any news on residents of condos to take the mandatory testing?

                        My friends' and relatives' helpers pre-registered before their phase and re-registered as soon as they qualify so they got their slots very fast.

                        Its good as that leaves only the kids who do not qualify unvaccinated. Some of the multi-generational families I know are 100% vaccinated. Others are not cos not everyone can be.
