      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.

      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):

                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!

                    doctors suffer emotional pain when they see their patients die in their watch,
                    especially if they know there is a cure in other countries but is not accessible here.
                    Some of the doctors resign because they see so many deaths still 17 per day and cannot do anything about it other than just giving panadol, oxygen, which are not treatments at all. Even the steroids given are very weak. What happen to the Regeneron announced in Sept that it would be available in Oct.

                    They were thinking why would they need doctors just to see patients die, paramedics can do the job. A doctor should be given leeway to administer medicines (which are available elsewhere, but not allowed in sg), otherwise they feel the blood of the dead on their hands.

                      On the other hand, there are many Covid 19 patients recovery and discharge from hospital everyday. Our Doctors and Nurses have done a good jobs. Doctors in different Countries are using different ways to cure Covid 19, for example, in Mainland China, they are using some TCM herbal medicine, don't know whether Singaporeans can accept this kind of medicines.
