Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

I’ll continue wearing my mask when I’m out. Guess it’ll take s’time before majority of population goes w/o mask. When infection & re-infection numbers trickles to a handful and ppl feels ‘safe’.


There will be some more conscious of individuals who cough incessantly on buses or train despite having masks on.

Not likely the infection and re-infection rates will go down, right?


As of last week, DH’s office has around 10 staff on MC due to covid. At the peak (after the Jun holidays), he remembered the same figure was around 100. We shall see what will the figure be in 2 weeks’ time.

It is likely that even if the daily infection figures spike, govt will not U-turn to require mandatory mask wearing. Unless the seriously sick and ICU figures go up again.

The infection rates will surely go up in the near term, but I guess the authorities have decided that it will not cause any undue pressure on hospitals. This would happen whether it's done now nor later, so now is as a good a time as any.

I wonder if any one at MOE/MOH is looking at the data for primary school kids. I am certain they have the data as parents are required to inform the school if kid is C+. For the rest of the general population, it’s hard to obtain data since it’s not obligatory to report.


- how many primary school kids have caught Covid so far?
- what was their vaccination status? Boosted (those who turned 12 already)? 2 doses? 1 dose? No dose? How long ago from last dose?
- how many days did they take to turn ART negative?
- any re-infection cases? If so, any particular profile more susceptible to re-infection?

Went out shopping yest without mask. Was given dagger-eye looks hahaha. Went movies but I put on mask inside the theatre. My girls still wear masks in Sch.

Maybe we can start business selling T shirt that says “I don’t have Covid. Don’t tsk me for not wearing mask leh.”

I hopped onto a Grab taxi yesterday and had my mask on. The driver who had no mask on looked at me and said, "can take off mask’lah… no need liao." So I took off my mask. Felt more like I was naked than scared.

No point. By the time the T-shirt is ready, I think a majority will have taken off their masks! It's just that many don't like to be the first. But once they see others do it, it will quickly snowball. I give it 1 week.

I have been taking off mask sometimes when walking outside at open air before this wk…at work space either take off on and off or loosen the string.

I had been nervous whe tempted to take off mask when walking outside & put on mask when hv to get into malls, etc. As I recall Dr Leong Hoe Num advice the removing of masks & putting on again haphazardly may result in higher chances of catching the virus.


The other day, I just caught sight of an Aunty pressing lift with her keys & nudge DH to look. He’s always pressing buttons with his index finger instead of using knuckles & shortly after remove his masks. Haiz! Why do I worry for my family members?
