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.

Ho Ching? :rant:

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?

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]

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.

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.

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.

Blue - I believe the no. of elderly who contract Covid is higher (not sure how much higher) than the no. who are seriously ill. And most of them will have one of the risk factors like diabetes, high BP etc. So I do believe the vaccine helps protect, but not 100%. I think we can also pretty much ignore vaccination status, but only because so many are vaccinated now.

And I agree, the asymptomatic people can be ignored.

It's like the \"pingdemic\" in the UK after their Freedom Day when so many people were told to self-isolate that many shops and services had to be closed. Hopefully, Singapore, like the UK, will come to its senses and change the rules for self-isolation.
