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

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.

Did they take around the same time as our seniors and frontliners? If yes, their nAbs must have dropped too. Some were allowed to go to Little India I recall.

Sometimes it could be vendors, social workers or healthcare personnel from outside bringing in the virus, as in the case of Changi Prison.

Migrant workers are younger and fitter on average. Don't think we should worry too much about the dorms. Already many new BTOs have been delayed for 1.5 years and developer must compensate the buyers.

The other day I checked Geospatial map…Istana has some numbers…I wonder if that is inside Istana or just the vicinity.

[quote=MrsKiasu post_id=2041521 time=1633842785 user_id=43981]Looks like the number of countries for VTL coming in fast..but we are waiting for China leh..coz not too far.

Am thinking that we should start with countries nearer so that any last min changes, we can quickly return home.

Also, time spent inside the plane not that long..hungry, pull the mask abit pop chocolate.[/quote]MrsKS, why are you waiting for China? It's 14 days locked up in a designated quarantine hotel after arrival at international airport, plus 7 days in the domestic city you're going to, plus 7 days self-monitoring isolation at home. Who has so much time for QO in China?

I think South Korea is going to be a sell-out, as there are many young travellers and couples into Kpop, KD and fashion.

I suppose if you take the red eye, you just sleep through. Have a heavy supper at Changi Airport before boarding. Or book business class if you have miles.

I think can use a feeding tube that goes from below your mask! :rotflmao:

I wonder if SIA would space passengers out i.e. alternate seats? :scratchhead:

Ideally wear adult diapers pants.

It may not as important now I guess…but it will be nice to have some info maybe which units/floors having some HR patients, on notice board.

[quote=starlight1968sg post_id=2041516 time=1633842056 user_id=14025]Some mums took Pfizer for their 1st and 2nd doses, and Moderna for the booster dose.
May I ask if you can share your reasons, pls?
Thank you.

One of the reasons is coz Moderna is heavier in its dosage per shot?

The 3rd dose for Moderna is 50mcg instead of 100mcg in its 1st and 2nd doses.[/quote]Full dose of pfizer is 30mcg only if not wrong.

I guess upon arrival of a foreign country, one would be subjected to its COVID test. What if tested positive?

Or, after spending time in that country, you test positive 48 hrs before departure? That, to me, is one of the greatest disincentives for travel. Even if the quarantine requirements are lifted, there is no way to travel if you are Covid positive. I guess it's important to get good travel insurance (which may be expensive) that will cover Covid-related expenses like medical treatment, quarantine, travel delays, etc.

Thank you.

DH received the SMS for his booster shot liao (his “frontline priority” 1st & 2nd Pfizer doses were in February).

He picked Moderna for the booster, reason is we think it will give some sort of better coverage (to make up for whatever coverage Pfizer could not give).
