      [quote=MrsKiasu post_id=2045292 time=1636261049 user_id=43981]Now ratio is lower than 1 I think..so can loosen?

      You are talking about that inscrutable ratio? That 1.0 thingy? I only look at the number of reported new cases and it is still GROWING. I think that ratio thing is something the government concocted to make it seem like everything is going fine.

      Chiefks, 什么这个那个。。I don't know how they calculate..but previously I think one of the Min in MTF says such if I m not wrong.

      Copy & paste ..这个ok..0.83

      '7.      As of 6 November 2021, 12pm, the Ministry of Health has detected a total of 3,035 new cases of COVID-19 infection, comprising 2,928 community cases, 102 dormitory resident cases and 5 imported cases. Amongst the community cases today are 501 seniors who are aged 60 years and above. The ratio of community cases for the past week over the week before is 0.83.\"[/quote]The ratio 0.83 is a comparison between the community cases last weeks and this week and it is an indicator for the rate of increasing of Covid 19 cases. If the value is more than 1, that means the Covid 19 cases number are increasing at a faster rate than last week.

      If there were 5000 daily cases last week and only 3000 cases daily this week, that mean the value to be less than 1. The rate of increasing is dropping.

      If the daily community cases of last week (the base) is large then it is likely we will have a less than 1 value this week.

          And once that freak 5K day is more that 14 days in the past, and Friday's freak low count day goes into the previous weak, the ratio will go up again. If you look in the ST, they publish the ratio every day - past 7 days over 8-14 days ago.

          It's a fairly pointless calculation as not all new cases are reported now. They should report on the ICU occupancy rate, or some hospital related figure.

            I think they mentioned that ratio because they overlooked the fact that not all cases are reported now. And then they got shot in the foot by that 5k count and last weeks' low day. Then the ratio is going to go up, and everyone is going to get worked up about it. I don't think it matters if the case count grows, or how fast it grows, as long as the hospitalisation/ICU rate doesn't grow too fast. And when it starts coming down, as it must eventually, then we can hope for some relaxation of measures.

            As I mentioned earlier, they should use figures which they can count properly so that their stats actually mean something useful.

                  Lol. Not that I would want to try it out...
                  I'm a bit confused. When would people go to these facilities? I thought those who are ok gets confined to their homes?

                    We are not senior enough..

                    'SINGAPORE - The F1 Pit Building has been converted into a treatment facility for seniors who are infected with Covid-19 and have chronic illnesses, but are well, independent and do not require hospital care. Such facilities have been set up to ease congestion at public hospitals. Here is what patients can expect.

                    About the facility721 beds

                    There are seven wards segregated by gender, with about 100 beds each. There are also another eight isolation rooms and 12 sick bays.

                    70 years old

                    The age criteria for unvaccinated patients admitted to the facility. For vaccinated seniors, the age criteria is above 80 years old.'

                      So the child in the ICU is true (4 years old):

                      More info here:

                      Saw a friend posted on FB. The 4-year-old is out of ICU but still under close monitoring. Responsive to family and can smile. Getting better, please continue praying!
