Yes you did. And I commented in the immediate next post someone bought a whole bunch of ART test kits they didn't know what to do with.
Didn't I already post my take on 11 Sept? Basically my first suggestion is roughly the same as SDP's Tambyah's 1st strategy.
Targeted swabbing and ping-ing, not kacau the rest of the fully vaccinated because you want some 'calefares' to bump up the denominator/base to make your IFR look good. Every day, they want to scoop up 1,000-2,000 mild cases as the death nos rise.
If they are not interested in getting the mild cases to do PCR after testing +ve with ART at home, and are willing to release the FV with CT value >/=25 (which is below the 35-40 standard cutoff), or even allow us to self-discharge without needing to inform any authority as long as our ART shows -ve within 10 days, then in the first place don't ping us and ground us with HRA, just because we unfortunately happen to be in the same mall, same period as another FV +ve case. Go comb the system and hunt down the unvaccinated only.

What disunity? Go read those angry comments in other forums, Telegram and FB. I've been proactively persuading KSPs to support the MTF for over 1 year until all these unacceptable lapses start to show up hor. :rant:

Incompetent is incompetent. No need to find excuses for the MOH minister.
Future PM? Ewwee, better not be my PM. Imagine him to be live on CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg or BBC.
In the first place, I don't think his peers and current office bearers want him to be their first among equals. Many grassroots people I know don't like OYK as a boss hor. Very arrogant guy in the past. Only popular virtually. He is only a 'wang hong' but PAP needs 'wang hong' to win votes you see, so no choice but to put him to test in this trying job.
OYK has some career gaps, unlike the other cabinet ministers. He basically wasted 4 years doing nothing memorable at some job centre? Then becos of the SMRT woes, he 'escaped' to Keppel to idle for another 1-2 years, flying around the global offices to wait out till Sembawang beckoned. In short, he lacks solid work experiences and particularly, 360 nationwide organisational skills, and this is evident in all the boo-boos so far. He claimed in his debate with Leong MW he'd negotiated a few FTAs? Probably only a side-kick of Prof Tommy Koh for the USFTA if you read Koh's 'FTA memoir'.
OYK the 闲云野鹤 only excels when the portfolio interests him or when he's assigned tasks that don't bother him with constant brickbats. He's not like the type of subordinate who will take things in his stride and make the best out of the lousiest of portfolios assigned to him by the biggest boss. He evades negative feedback head-on and will choose to be in denial. Many negative comments had been deleted from his FB over the past weeks. I was posting a reply to someone who criticised him, but was not able to post successfully because he deleted the entire thread real-time!
I think it's a mistake to pull him out from MOT. -

Ho Ching? :rant:
Can someone tell me, how many new QOs are being issued each day, given that there are more than 1000 cases a day?
On average, if one positive case leads to 30 QOs, we have 30,000 new QOs issued each day? I certainly hope not. Crazy disruptive if so. And the resources going to QO will be scary if even half of them go to GQF. -
Zeit - strangely, everyone whom I know who has worked with or for CCS, loves and respects him (okay my sample size maybe 50 or fewer people). However, public opinion of him is so poor that it seems widely held that he stands no change at the top job.
As for OYK, my kids tell me he is well-loved by students cos he introduced HBL lol!!!
I am concerned that he is very far off the ground (and may lack empathy) given his family etc - on the other hand one can say that at least he isn’t in politics because of the money? heh.
As for LW, he kind of emerged in running only from last year when MTF was convened? LOL. Became national star overnight.
OYK’s FB is actively managed. -

I just asked someone - hey, MOH used to report on the daily number of QO people, number in GQF, number of QOs at home etc. How come I can't find that info anymore on the MOH website?

The person replied - maybe they have lost count?
Are they still contact tracing and QO-ing or not ah? -

Looking at those who have died, it seems like the underlying medical conditions are the important factor in whether you survive Covid or not. The vaccination does not seem to prevent severe illness and death if you have underlying conditions.
I would like to see in the daily update:
- how many in ICU
- how many seriously ill (needing oxygen supplementation)
Of these, provide breakdown of:
- exact age, gender
- underlying medical conditions (what are they?)
- vaccination status[/quote]
Shouldn’t this be the main screening condition now?
The asymptomatic people are just red herrings.
So is the vaccination status. -
For many seniors, dont they tend to have high blood, high cholesterol etc which are considered as underlying health conditions?

Yes, that’s why I want to know, what have our medical professionals discovered so far.
For many seniors, dont they tend to have high blood, high cholesterol etc which are considered as underlying health conditions?
Should we be worried for our 2-3x vaccinated but unhealthy/overweight seniors? I would think so. -

Yes. Most elderly wld hv one of the 3 “high” or all of it and other pre-existing conditions that are pre-disposition for covid infection.

MIL hv 2 of the 3, but she’s very vigilant in observing careful care & rarely go out of home except for medical appts & weekends at our place. She’s in her 80s but still keep a regimen of exercise at home, cooks for herself & BIL and enjoys her home entertainment. Yet, I’m thankful she’s not particularly anxious unlike her siblings which she tried counselling them to be more cooperative. She abstain fr visiting my other nephews & nieces esp those very young kids & those facing major exams. I chuckle & tease her for working the other way round.
