      The MTF said the growth rate of daily positive cases seems slowing down.

      I wonder is it really slowing down Or because ART positive no need to take PCR thus daily numbers aren’t growing? May be, a persistently high death rate is the only (delayed) proxy indicator that COVID is still spreading fast and furious in the community.

      One day, when we all switch to using ART and only no more PCR, our country will achieve zero case!
      I think that's the intention. It's part of the \"endemic\" plan. We don't announce the no. of deaths from any other disease on a daily basis.

        I dislike the new measures...
        I like them. Simpler to understand, fewer acronyms, and more realistic. The only one I think is too harsh is the banning the unvaccinated from malls. That is unreasonable.

          No more QO and HRA, now only HRW - gd

          Protocols 1 and 2 are clear.
          Protocol 3 is unclear to me.

          I feel that if infected but w/o symptoms, there is no medical assistance given.

            If you have no symptoms, you don't need medical assistance! Just wait till the virus passes. If you are unwell, then one of the other protocols kick in.

              It is something which I cant understand. All well w/o symptoms and yet ART positive? Really no need to pop any medicine?

                And why are there dorm cases where the workers follow a strict movement control and regular testing?

If you have symptoms, you may need medicine to relieve the symptoms. Currently, you may well have the cold virus, but if you have no symptoms, you won't know, and you won't take any medication. Unless tested so they find out, people with asymptomatic infections of Covid will recover without even knowing it.

                    That's because they live in crowded conditions (even though better than pre-Covid), the authorities don't trust them to obey the rules, and the workers are less likely than citizens to make a fuss. I have strong opinions about how these workers are treated vis-a-vis citizens, but here is not the place to say.

                      With 500 workers visiting places each week, it is just a matter of time on the spreading ...

                        Seriously, their \"endemic plan\" is poorly executed and unless the political intention currently is to get everyone infected, aka holding a \"chickenpox party\". But if that is the case, why not we do away with masks, so that we can bite the bullet and transit faster and hence come to a steady equilibrium in a shorter time.

                        Personally I have known of one family where the entire family, including a person more than 90 years old who got infected over a course of 5 days because MOH have been very slow to evacuate the first confirmed infected case to the isolation facility despite them having a vulnerable person at home.

                        The situation is absolutely \"failed to plan, thus planned to fail\".
