Seriously? A dataset of almost 100,000 having taken S is insufficient data to be \"meaningful\"? :faint:
...

Took me awhile before I realised you are talking about Sinovac... :?

My dadś 2nd dose was on 21 Apr. Today I received the SMS and could book the slot for booster dose on 5 Oct onwards. Hence this 6 mth apart is not a must. I have booked the slot for tmr. I really dont know if this is a correct decision for him.

They go by week, so is 6 months

According to news report in the ST today, there has been a confusion over the time gap, ranging from 6 mths to 143 days! So who knows what they are using now. But medically speaking, the difference between 143 days and 6 mths is not very significant as all such figures are averages and estimates anyway.

I didn't see this yesterday. Seems like this is partly a call on whether all SA2 are cancelled or not? Not sure how much longer the kids can stay at home and schools can still conduct exams this year (literal time constraints and need for teachers to go over some stuff face to face before the exam).


SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Education (MOE) will make an announcement later this week on whether home-based learning (HBL) for primary schools will be extended, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing said in Parliament on Monday (Oct 4).

I saw it. Just have to wait for the announcement. I don’t want to get my hopes up on anything. More likely it’s about tweaking of timetables/timelines. Either tonight (after Science) or tomorrow night (after HMT) I suppose. If you have educators in the fam they might know first but dunno if they are bounded to secrecy.

I’m against it (not that my opinion will change things). My kid is going nuts stuck at home with the P5 exam revision workload (from school, from tutors, from me) and none of his friends are free to chat either.

But on the plus side, he gets to sleep in & wakes up without alarm clock at 7.15am or so & has a leisurely breakfast before starting work. Has grown taller with more sleep.

With these cases going better keep at home and same, not as tho up to what we say lol.

My gal's covered shoes, the latest one also cannot wear le. She went out for an appt last wk and say tight asked if we could buy the same pattern of shoes in a bigger size. This pair bought last Dec holiday. Before that I have thrown some older shoes too. Plus points for them growing well hor.

Puberty?

Not yet but initial signs I guess. He’s no longer the lowest in height & weight (looking at class photo), for which I’m grateful.
