To me, the generals are practically useless. These are my reasons why I said so:
1.
They don't even realise that the Covid-19 Pandemic is a Virus War
against Humanity, until more than one and a half years later, it took a
non-military geberal Ong Ye Kung, to realise and said so - that the
Pandemic "is like a war".
2. They didn't even have any tactical plan to start with. So, don't have to talk about stratrgic plans.
3.
They didn't even organise the country for war. They just resorted to
"monitoring closely" and than reacted, and most of the times, reacted
too little too late.
4. Always waiting for hindsight. Leaders
plan ahead, using their vision and wisdom, which they have none.
Followers wait for hindsight and orders. Without hindsight and orders,
they are lost; they simply do not know which direction to go. They
simply cannot work.
5. They didn't lead the charge against the
enemy (coronavirus) by example. They hid inside their ivory towers and
pretended that they were all there for you, uttering: "No one will be
left behind". But in reality, on the ground, many have been left in the
wayside, hospitals and homes to suffer and to die.
6. They didn't
have the will power, the spirit, the courage, the patience and the
resolve to fight on until victory is achieved. Halfway on the march
towards the foothills of the counterattack, they put up the white flag
and simply surrendered to the Enemy's Special Forces, the Covid-19 Delta
Variants.
7. They are only good in taking umbrage and giving
orders, pushing their subordinates down the gutters, while they
themselves grab the honor, prestige and rewards.
Such are the fast-tracked, incubated, inexperienced generals of papers, not of deeds, that we are having?
I hope I am absolutely wrong.

COVID-19 Singapore: Are The Generals Of Any Help To Our Fight Against The Coronavirus?

Cannot say they are totally useless lah. They are also very good leh.
They are good in:
1. Carrying the political master's balls.
2. Wearing and decorating their military uniforms to look pretty and smart.
3. Scoring brownie points at others' expense to get promoted rapidly.
4. Playing the martial art called Tai Chee.
5. Side-stepping to avoid being arrowed with a big difficult project, leaving it to the regulars and wranglers to handle the tasks and shoulder the responsibilities.
6. Back-stabbing their fellow comrades when their own necks are put on the chopping board.
7. Shamelessly receiving accolades and praises that are not due to them.
8. Unconscionably collecting the obscene pay every month.
9. Many more other good points ....
Scholars do not make good leaders. They are good academics, researchers, think tanks, backroom boys, personal secretaries, administrators, investigators, YES.
BUT NEVER GOOD LEADERS!
Political Leaders?
They are only book-oriented not people-oriented. So, how can they be good politicians. They won't have even an iota of political acumen, nor matter how you groom them. LHL, CCS, VB and Big Nose are good glaring examples.
Military Leaders?
For scholars to be made generals or admirals in the military, it is even worse. Whoever thought out such a scheme must have a long-term political motive under his sleeves.
Sinopharm Vaccine: Only 3 Suspected Adverse Events Out Of 17,630 Doses!
As of Sept 30, there were a total of only three reports of suspected “adverse events” experienced by people who received the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said.
In its sixth safety report, HSA said on Friday (Oct 15) that the three reports were out of a total of 17,630 doses of the China-made Sinopharm vaccine administered here in Singapore since Aug 30 2021, when the first dose was given.
Sinovac and Sinopharm were approved under HSA’s Special Access Route only this year, after repeated requests by the public.
HSA also reported that thereq were also "no serious adverse events" reported for the vaccine so far.
An adverse event for vaccination is any undesirable medical condition that occurs after taking the vaccine, which does not necessarily have a direct link to it. It may be coincidental or related to an underlying or undiagnosed disease.
The big question is that since the Sinopharm vaccine, made in China, has been proven in the Singapore environment to be such a safe COVID-19 Vaccine, much better than Pfizer and Moderna which long-term effects have yet to be made known,
WHY IS THE Multi-Ministry Task Force NOT INCLUDING IT IN THE NATIONAL VACCINATION PROGRAM?
Sinopharm is the main vaccine being used in China, while Sinovac has been used for export or given free to poor countries.
Virgo, you are right.
Looking at the situation in Singapore now, with the way the 4G mini-stirers decide and do things, I have totally lost faith in their leadership abilities.
Those who wish to follow their absurd policy of "Living with COVID-19 Endemic" until the whole island city state becomes End-Panic, they can carry on.
As for me, I am not so gangho. I believe in "Be safe better than be regretful later".
The stupidity cannot cure syndrome has become so obviously clear.
Malaysia is opening up but still make vaccinated travellers quarantine for 7 days instead of 14 days.
Irresponsible and reckless Singapore, already so rich but still very greedy for more money, allow foreign travellers from highly infectious countries like USA, UK and India into the country without the need for quarantine, which was 14+7 days previously.
What a big difference!
Funny can extract words from dictionary.
One word most important word never look up
RESOLVE.
Analysis-With boosters, masks and Green Pass, Israel sees a COVID-19 wave in retreat
Four months into one of its worst COVID-19 outbreaks, Israel is seeing a sharp drop in new infections and severe illness, aided by its use of vaccine boosters, vaccine passports and mask mandates, scientists and health officials said.
Israel was struck by its fourth coronavirus wave in June, fuelled by the fast-spreading Delta variant.
Rather than imposing new lockdown measures, the government bet on a third booster dose of the Pfizer Inc/BioNTech vaccine for people age 12 and up, mandated face coverings and enforced use of a “Green Pass” - proof of vaccination, recovery from the illness or a negative test for the virus - at restaurants and other venues, even for children.
Since peaking in early September, daily infections in Israel have fallen more than 80%, with severe cases nearly halved.
"Day by day we are breaking the Delta wave," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday, crediting government policy for "close, smart and flexible management allowing life alongside coronavirus."
Israel's "Living with COVID" strategy, which has not come without cost or controversy, has kept schools and the economy open.
The Israeli Health Ministry on Thursday presented the latest safety and effectiveness data from its booster campaign to a panel of advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considering authorization of additional booster shots.
The data show that among people over 60 - the first group to receive boosters - infections began declining rapidly about two weeks after third doses were administered, while still climbing among other age groups.
A data analysis by Doron Gazit and Yinon Ashkenazy of the Hebrew University's COVID-19 monitoring team showed the virus' reproduction rate - its ability to spread - began a sharp fall among each age group following the third shot.
Two months into the Delta wave, vaccinated people over the age of 60 made up more than half of severe COVID-19 cases. The majority were over 70 with health conditions that put them at higher risk.
Since administration of boosters, mostly unvaccinated, often younger, people are bearing the brunt of serious illness. They make up about 75% of hospitalized patients in severe condition, while those vaccinated with two or three shots account for a quarter of such cases.
A third dose has so far been effective in curbing severe breakthrough cases among vaccinated people age 40 and up, according to the health ministry.
