Can someone explain to me the logic behind got Covid (ART positive) no need to quarantine (can self-isolate at home), but maybe got maybe not (close contact) must quarantine (kena QO)?

QO and GQF no need use resources that may be better deployed somewhere else, like maybe ring-fencing our elderlies or medical observation of the more vulnerable Covid patients?

To minimise healthcare resources

Art test not very accurate compare to pcr....so...

I just realised that I have never met any seniors who do not have underlying medical condition. Have you?

Touchwood..my mom told me she went for check up, everything is ok.

I agree that we should channel our resources to focus more on the vulnerable.

Earlier, someone posted a Chinese article on this 24 year old lady who was complaining about the TUAS facility and late food delivery,
I suppose she is there because she is unvaccinated.
Assuming she doesn’t have any underlying condition, I think she will most likely recover fine even if put on home recovery.

What I want to see is the mortality numbers for the elderly in September so far compared to the monthly background mortality number for the same age groups for the past 2 years.


Was there a significant up tick?

They know how to say to us that people die from different causes all the time when people die after taking the vaccines, so must look at background mortality rates.

So let’s do the same here. Elderly people with underlying morbidities die all the time, if not Covid then the flu, pneumonia, dengue, diabetes etc. Let’s have a look at the numbers.

It is easy to say 98% of the positive cases have mild or no symptoms, so only 2% would require medical/hospital care. No! If we look at the figures, at least 20% of the daily cases involve seniors above 60yo and they need to go under observation before being triaged. I guess that is the reason MOH only planned to handle that 2% but now it turns out that they have to handle up to 10 times more!

I am upset that obviously MOH has all the pertinent numbers, but they only feed us partial data to support whatever narrative they want to push.

OYK can pose one table showing how many % of what unvaccinated and vaccinated age groups became serious in his Facebook post. But MOH cannot give us updated tables of this every day. Instead they feed us useless numbers to give the appearance of transparency.

Why was I upset at Ho Ching? Obviously she had better access to data than the public. How dare she use that privilege to talk down to us!

Stop feeding us bullshit! That's how trust is lost.

This sharing from ST's Senior Correspondent is quite saddening to read (regarding his 90 yr old mother's hospitalization and the impact of the hospital ban on visitors)

Hope someone can help me with my doubt .

For the booster shots for my parents - should we get the same one as the initial ones ie. If the first two shots were Pfizer, then Pfizer for booster too?

Another thing is my mum had to do an MRI, she has an appointment in a week’s time. should I get her to do the vaccination first this weekend or wait and do it 2-3 days after the MRI? I have read that the vaccine might effect CT scans
I am trying to reach out to the doc to get his input. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, experience.

For my dad, I think Pfizer then Pfizer for booster. I may want to try Moderna for myself when it is my turn for booster.
For your 2nd qn, am not in medical fields and hence answering from a layman; do MRI then vaccination. My thinking is the vaccine will remain in body for quite a while and unsure if it has anything to affect MRI...

I would think you should get it from the same manufacturer, so that if anything goes wrong, you know who to blame

Not sure about your 2nd question. But for me, I've had my shots in May, and I'm trying to make my booster further away, as long as I can. Maybe until December

Sun, on other scan like mammo, pic may be affected. And I can’t remember how long interval is advisable but the clinic people would know and advise… So for your side, maybe you check with vaccine hotline ppl and the MRI clinic, to be safe. I was doing my check ups then and I did my mammo first.
