      Those who praises China’s zero covid policy should read this https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/11/05/1052811962/one-chinese-town-has-started-a-fiery-online-debate-about-chinas-zero-covid-polic


      I can’t imagine if I have 2 children aged 4 and 14 years old and I have to suddenly leave them at home alone.

        Tougher to go travelling alr. Gotta wait abit longer for freedom travel. We got lifted off European travel curbs list


        S'pore removed from list of countries for which EU member states should lift travel curbs
        https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/spore-removed-from-list-of-countries-for-which-eu-member-states-should-lift

        Lol. I read until I got cross-eyed. Talk about double negatives. Why don't they just say Singapore is now banned from EU? Easier, right?

        My German friend who has been working in Singapore for 3 years, went back to Germany last week, if the EU just say Singapore is now banned, then how could my German friend return home?

        There are many people travelling between Singapore and EU countries every day and therefore cannot just say \"Banned\".[/quote]It’s not a “ban” but with restrictions & quarantine r’qmts. Some quarantine r’qmts load with PCR & 14 days’ quarantine, whereas previously it can be cleared within hours of negative tests & free to travel into yr European destination. Altho we’ve received VTL, u’ll soon discover some countries only permit family reunion, business travels or returning foreign students & not as yet tourism. Check the ICA for VTL details.

          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 eager to project us as? It's sad.

            Our streets were once known for their cleanliness..now ..... some reputations are not easily earned.

                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.

                      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? 😆
