Maybe to Chiefks, ban means no travel freely need under stricter restrictions. But hope no quarantine lol else can be quite a waste.

Ban, restrictions, whatever. The fact is, we are no longer considered as a \"clean\" city. How does this feel after all these years living in the most \"open\" and sparkling \"clean\" city that the government is so early to project us as? It's sad.

Even we are the most open and clean city for all these years doesn't mean that we are forever. Environment and situation may change, the most important is how to adjust our mindset to adapt to the new environment and accept the new challenge in front of us. Feeling sad and sigh....cannot help us in facing difficult situation.

I believe this is what we have to teach our kids how to tackle challenges in their future.

So isolate for 72hrs then ART test if -ve can go back to work?

Interesting study mentioned in that article:

“The study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is preliminary and yet to be peer-reviewed, evaluated how 458 people vaccinated with Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson reacted to a booster dose of the same shot or a new one.

Those who had taken the Moderna vaccine for the first two doses and the Moderna booster were found to have the highest antibody levels. Those who got two doses of Pfizer, followed by a Moderna booster, had the second highest antibody count. Next were those who got two doses of Moderna, followed by a Pfizer booster.”

So I’m still contemplating whether to use Moderna or Pfizer for my 3rd jab.

are you inferring that the 2 cases are related since both in lock-up?

So, either the lions are very \"communal\" or maybe it was actually the tester that got covid

I believe this is what we have to teach our kids how to tackle challenges in their future.[/quote]This is the mindset I’ve been taking. Flex & adapt. To accept diff situations isn’t easy but we hv to learn coz covid will be ever changing as even our ecosystem is changing according to our weather. I will expect more or much more devastating maladies at the rate our who environment is changing - higher sea level, flash-floods, typhoons, longer wet seasons ...

Our younger generation hv so much more to face. They’ve to be “operationally ready” to ‘pack & go’ w/o gribe or cry spilt milk. As a human race, we’ve done a lot of harm to mother-earth & nature is fighting back fiercely.

Just the other day I realized how much more rubbish our FW hv to clear bcoz online deliveries are now discarded at greater vigor 📦 . See the tapes & tags & possibly more pieces of foam or bubble packs?

Sad, but the plus side is that when this is all over (in a year or so? hopefully!), the world will look at the figures and realise that Singapore has one of the lowest death rates overall.
