Today, Nine (9) Persons have passed away due to Covid 19 Complication.[/quote]

Thought this Omicron variant is mild and less fatal. Didn’t expect death rate to creep up again. Now I have to start worrying for my aged parents and grandma again.

Yes, we should protect the vulnerable groups. Omicron variant is still classified as Covid 19 not just common cold or flu.

These could be the unvaccinated, or the already sick. For the latter, if it been hadn't Covid, it would have been something else sooner or later. Elderly people die of so many things in the normal course of events. Many elderly actually survive Covid.

Best not let down our guard esp with our elderly.

In short, the bold statement means, everyone...please observe social responsibility seriously and we really should. It does not mean mild or no symptoms, we are ok...they are just not reported but they are still INFECTING people.

I was just notified that I had a close contact I met a few days ago tested positive. So now I need to do close monitoring on myself too... Time to buy more ART kits! Feel like I am becoming an ARTist....I have done so many tests!

Absolutely agree. Many are becoming too care-less. Ppl are less conscious abt social distancing & crowds are everywhere.

Omicron is indeed highly infectious. My SIL returned with niece & grand-nephew. Met them at their home & think that was how I got my sore throat & sniffles tho ART negative last 4 days. Am I also an ARTist now? 🤣 Will not visit MIL this week to keep her safe.

I know your feeling. I had ulcer in my throat too! Lots of phlegm but no blocked nose. Hubby hv very light symptoms of cough but he’s always stronger & rarely falls sick. Kids busy with their new term & projects. I guess less interaction for now seems to help in warding off catching the virus fr us.

We’re very mindful not to visit MIL at least for next 2 weeks. We did our LPA last week & MIL asking to do hers asap. Hopefully things less transmissible & can make appointment for her to do her LPA with our family doc.

Hope everyone can take care and have enough body rest so all symptoms of common cold will be disappeared soonest.

It’s been rainy too, so do bring an umbrella and don’t get in the rain. Once you get the common cold, people might look at you like you’re Covid+.
