COVID-19: When And How To Open Up

COVID-19: When And How To Open Up

When more and more people are sickened by COVID-19 all the time, or killed by COVID-19, where is the need for jobs? Only when people can stay healthy and kicking then they can work. Then they need jobs.

Yes, open up is necessary at some point in time. But when and how you open up is the key point. Better be safe than be sorry and regret. You open up too early, you risk going back to square one again and again. And if you are careless and reckless by not considering all the probabilities, you will also go back to square one, or even worse off. You may not recover

You can't simply say, "Now that we have 82% vaccinated, we can treat the Pandemic as Endemic, and starts a new normal".

If this COVID-19 virus has not taught you to be careful, then you have wasted one and half years of our precious and difficult time.

You can't carelessly open to any country 'Quarantine-Free', just because they can show you a piece of paper showing that they have been vaccinated. That paper most probably could be fake or improperly authorized through, bribery. Are you do gullible?

You can't be reckless by being blinded by your zeal to kick-start the economy as early as possible, just because 82% of people have been vaccinated. The full vaccination lasts only 3-6 months, not forever. The vaccinated are still being infected and killed. More than 50% to 60% of those who died were among the vaccinated group. So, Vaccination must not be a free ticket to everything. The vaccinated can still spread the virus to both the unvaccinated and the other vaccinated.

You are dealing with the Coronaviruses
not with the people, vaccinated or not. The important thing is to be very careful with the Coronaviruses. Very careful not to allow carriers of the Coronavirus to enter our country and spread it everywhere they go.

You must not let your guards down at all times, whether open up or locked down.

Masks, safe distancing, washing of hands, group activities limitation, testing and Quarantine are necessary. Once you let any of these be removed, you are reckless. You are asking for troubles again.

The Coronavirus is waiting like a hawk above you, like a ghost next to you, and like a swarm of bees around you, waiting for you to make the slightest mistake, the slightest opening, to allow it to strike. It strikes without mercy, without any care of who you are, what you are or where you are. It simply loves to infect you, the careless ones, the reckless ones.

The Coronavirus is not going to abide by your beautifully dreamt up plans or forceful orders. It will give you its middle finger/spike and bulldoze its way through whatever flimsy perimeter fence that you may have put up.

What we must do at all times:

1. Respect the COVID-19 Coronavirus.

2. Fear the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Don't dismiss it as insignificant and think that it cannot infect you. The PM told you not to let fear paralyze you. That's correct. But fear you must have. Otherwise, you will not respect the Coronavirus. Otherwise, you will not keep the safe distance. Otherwise, you will not be bothered to wear a mask or to wear it properly. Otherwise, you will become careless, reckless and heartless. Fear is a very good friend. Don't dismiss it. But also don't be paralyzed by it.

3. Be on guard all the times, like your life depends on it. Wear your mask all the time, in a proper way. Wash your hands. Keep safety distance, etc.

4. Be considerate not to transmit it to fellow Singaporeans, especially the oldies. When you feel you are sick, stay at home. Quarantine yourself. Get help if necessary.

If the whole population of people are fully educated, disciplined and willing to abide by the above 4 rules, then we can slowly and cautiously open up.

You don't open up just because you have 82% of people vaccinated! That is a lousy basis to based on. Vaccination with pseudo vaccines effective only 3-6 months, gives you a false sense of security and safety. We must not fail into that trap knowingly.
