I could have told you this one month ago. Wait... I did. :slapshead:
Does it not follow then that the best booster is actually one of the S inactivated virus vaccines? -

So now us parents who are against FHBL, can we actually opt to send our kids to school? I cannot, unless I can prove that I can’t WFH etc...[/quote]SG_KP1\" post_id=\"2038541\" time=\"1631936984\" user_id=\"188234:
...Interesting, this was before 2020 as well? Any reason why they aren't off 5/10 and 6/10 too?
One nuance is that is something is known or planned well in advance, it is easy to deal with. I don't know how much behind the scenes lead time the schools/teacher were given for this though. Obviously the more the better, as it is not an easy period for them (teachers) either...
Yup
Yes, as far back as pre-covid. This time round P4s were supposed to return to school for in-person lessons on 05+06/10; then it's P5s' turn to HBL 05+06/10. For non-graduating cohorts, psle period's schedule is tweaked every so often - the idea is to minimise distractions -
Also I would like to highlight this.
IMO, children are the super spreader. Although children will not get seriously ill if infected. But because they scream, cry, talk loudly and poor in hygiene practices plus they don’t mask up properly. -
It’s frustrating, but our government is trying its best already! Other countries are in a far worth situation.
It is hard for everyone, including the decision-maker.
Let’s keep cool, calm and collected for our own health. -

No it isn't. Our government is playing vaccine politics. Time to stop.

The science is clear. -
I give up and just live as per normal with mask on and frequent hand washing when out.

Any working mums receive ART kits from their employer? I have not.
I have not received the 6 ART kits via mail too. -

Really? I think it is more difficult to get the old folks at Chinatown and the hawkers to wear their masks properly as compared to the P1-P5s.

If children are super spreaders, then why are kindergartens and childcare centres (toddlers who will cry and scream more) still open?
Evidence thus far showed that we do not have clusters in schools unlike what we have seen in hawker centres / wet markets.
So far, I think the schools are doing a very good job. Most students caught covid from their own family members. -

Actually, P1 to P3 are still very far away from PSLE. Even if HBL, is ok. P1 and P2, are effectively honeymoon years. So, even if HBL, no impact.
Next wk whole week still got school for P1 to P5 right?
As for P3,
PSLE is another 3 long years away from P3 ! 3 years away is a long time. Thus, also perfectly all right to proceed with HBL.
P4 :
because got end of the year P4 streaming exercising, so maybe should not HBL.
P5 :
because very close to PSLE, also should not HBL.
