Precisely lor. Western countries cases in 5 digits they really embrace that endemic living, but don’t know why MTF is kiasi.

On one hand, we want to be safe and this is obvious.
One the other hand, we want to open up and this is normal bec we cant be close forever.
What left will be just to tweak the measures lor... Nothing new
One problem with this yo-yo is that once things semi-open-up again on 24 Oct, everyone will be feel so cooped up that many will cheong out again to pack the restaurants etc. Then a couple of weeks later, cases start creeping up and voila, the vicious cycle continues. -

If the infected are our loved ones, we wont be so calm and rational. -

I think we all understand that if the hospitals and ICU are overwhelmed then there should be some kind of pause as we dont want to be in a situation where people are getting sick and unable to get medical attention. That was what the MMTF said and I think it is logical.

I thought they said the actual infected numbers aren't as important and that is also logical because that is what happens when we live with a virus, eg. flu.
But now we have 23 ICU cases and already we are going back to tighter restrictions. If so, when or rather, what conditions would be deemed safe enough for Singapore to get back to some form of a normal life - cases below 100/ day, and zero ICU? That's realistically never going to happen as long as this thing is around and we attempt to open up to the world. -
Now 23 in ICU though hv prepared up to 1600 (???) ICU beds.
The issue is this 23 is a number 2 wks ago. Two wks later, what would be the number in ICU? Nobody can predict it accurately. -
Oh well… anyway, bo pian la… suck it up for now.
Just hope that by 24 Oct, things stabilize and we can really start embarking on the road to normalcy.
This is really not good for our kids’ education journey - missing out on so many things these few years like camps, competitions, overseas trips. -
The world has lost 2 years to battle with covid

\" the Lost generation,
of Primary & Secondary school students, living in endemic Singapore\".
I think the same,
will also apply to the graduates of our local universities. For every single job vacancy that arises, several hundreds of job applicants will rush to apply, for the same identical job opening. Yes, one can convocate, wearing the square mortar hat and the uni graduation gown, photograph taken. But when it comes to job hunting, it won't be easy. Not just in Singapore, but across the whole world globally. -

OK good. Someone heard my voice. SAF's been roped in. So are PA volunteers. Not sure abt their roles, but hopefully can help to clear our rubbish!
There are many other solutions besides stepping out.zeit.\" post_id=\"2039274\" time=\"1632467763\" user_id=\"194295:
But MOH doesn't electronically tag every one hor. Don't ask me how many Gateway units they have procured. For instance, this CK's father was not tagged and sneaked out to water his plants and even went out for breakfast! If not tagged, you can walk to a 24h supermarket too at 2am.
Her father, who \"doesn't like to sit in one place for too long\", has also been roaming around their home, according to CK.
When CK and her other family members came back home from a clinic to do their polymerase chain reaction PCR tests as instructed by MOH, she noticed her plants outside had been watered, and deduced that her father had once again stepped out of the flat.
The other elderly, L's father and family were tagged though, but the family members could not stop their father from walking around the house!

Another possibility. Eg the Stay Home had to order food to settle their meals issue. They could have left the proper bagged rubbish outside and asked the rider to help throw on his / her way out. Then offer a nice tip for their troubles. Most riders would be willing to help if explain nicely.
