Singapore on Tuesday (Nov 9) reported 3,397 new cases of Covid-19 and 12 more deaths due to complications from the disease.
The daily infection tally is up from the 2,470 reported on Monday.
MOH
said that there were 68 patients who were unstable and under close
monitoring in intensive care units (ICUs) to prevent further
deterioration, an increase of 62 from the previous day.
In addition, there were 72 patients who were critically ill and intubated in ICUs, five more than previous day.
Malaysian
drug trafficker on death row with several other inmates have contracted
Covid-19 while being locked up in the Changi Prison. How so is the most
mysterious and curious question.
There are 409 ICU beds, of which 296 are now occupied — 140 by Covid-19 patients.
The current overall ICU utilisation rate is 72.4 per cent, up from the 68.5%.
MOH's
regular daily mantra: "People aged 60 and above continue to be more
adversely affected by Covid-19, especially if they are not vaccinated."
Among
the new infections recorded on Tuesday, 3,222 were in the community,
169 were made up of migrant worker dormitory residents and the remaining
six were imported.
Out of 3,222 community cases, there were only
513 people above the age of 60, a 15.9%. This is well below the
population ratio. Nothing for the alarmists to be alarmed.
The
ratio of community cases in the past week compared with the week before
stood at 0.82, down from 0.84 reported the day before. This is the
seventh consecutive day the weekly infection growth rate is under 1.
In
the mean time, the new Minister of Health is requiring Covid-19
patients unvaccinated by choice to pay for medical care. Is this
unethical? Is this immoral? Is this illegal? Has he over-stepped his
power as a Minister?
The 12 who died were aged between 58 and 95.
“All
of them, except for an unvaccinated individual, had various underlying
medical conditions,” MOH said without giving more details. This is an
indication that 11 of the 12 who have been killed by Covid-19 were fully
vaccinated.
In total, 523 people in Singapore have died of
Covid-19. Before the Crazy Living And Dying With Covid-19 Scam, oops I
mean Scheme was implemented two months ago, the total number of deaths
in Singapore was only 53. That means the last two months of madness have
cost our country about ten folds of precious lives unnecessarily.
Officially,
Singapore has registered a total of 224,200 coronavirus cases since
January 2020. This figure has to be taken with a heavy pinch of salt.

Singapore removed from a list of countries for which European Union member states should lift travel curbs- Council of European Union, 9 November 21.
ReplyDeleteAnd why shouldn’t they? If I were them and given the weak Singapore MTF leadership and sorry state of Singapore’s C19 situation, I will make the same decision in the interest and safety of my people and my country too.
Many countries are going to put Singapore on their highly risky and dangerous lists.
ReplyDeleteThey will start pulling out from whatever prior travel arrangements that their governments have made with the Singapore government.
Singapore is swiftly becoming a Lepers Country where good and healthy people will not want to visit. Only lepers will come running to embrace the arms of the incompetent, reckless and dangerous leaders of Singapore.
Compulsory vaccination for all the animals in the zoo?
ReplyDeleteAnother avenue for big Pharma to make more money. Now starting from the zoo, may spread to chicken farms. The feathered type hor!
ReplyDeleteSo many lions have been infected through their handlers and animal feeds. Most probably many other animals have also been affected, especially those which are in close contact with human trainers and visitors.
ReplyDeleteBetter don't bring your children to the zoo, especially those below 12 or unvaccinated.
The zoo should have been declared as one of the dangerous clusters by MOH. But that is not done, yet. Very slow reactions.
No foresight already. Even with hindsight also react so slow. Taking things too easy. This is the result of having too much power and too much pay. These two ingredients combined together make people lazy and incompetent.
VTL country Denmark imposes quarantine for travellers from Singapore following recent removal from EU list
ReplyDeleteravellers from Singapore will now have to serve at least four days' quarantine in Denmark, after Singapore was recently removed from a European Union list of countries for which travel restrictions should be lifted.
On Tuesday (Nov 9), the EU list, which is reviewed every two weeks, was updated to exclude Singapore and Ukraine. The list states that the criteria for being listed takes into account the other country's "epidemiological situation and overall response to COVID-19".
The list is not legally binding and EU member states are allowed to adjust their own restrictions for incoming travellers.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the Embassy of Denmark in Singapore said Singapore was "now considered a high risk country for travel to Europe".
According to the post, with the exception of certain groups such as Danish citizens "who are fully vaccinated regardless of where", all travellers from Singapore must be tested upon arrival and self-isolate for 10 days. If a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result is produced, the isolation will end on day 4.
This applies to all travellers regardless of vaccination status as Denmark does not recognise Singapore's vaccination certificate.
VACCINATED TRAVEL LANE
Denmark was one of several European countries recently added to Singapore's vaccinated travel lane (VTL) scheme. The scheme allows quarantine-free travel for those flying into Singapore via designated VTL flights.
Other conditions include travellers being fully vaccinated and a minimum stay of 14 consecutive days in one or more of the VTL countries before departure to Singapore.
As of Thursday, Denmark remains on the list of countries under the VTL scheme.
The scheme currently contains 12 countries, which will go up to 13 when it is extended to South Korea on Nov 15. Malaysia, Finland and Sweden will also be added to the VTL scheme later this month.
Singapore reported 3,481 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday for a total of 227,681 infections since the start of the pandemic.

ReplyDelete"So for folks who have had 2 shots of Sinovac or SinoPharm, do seriously consider a 3rd shot of Pfizer (or Moderna) as your 3rd shot 2-3 months after your 2nd shot, for more complete protection." (in the interest of Temasek???)
Self-interests definitely featured glaringly.
Remember, she is now Chair Person of Temasek.
When she was the CEO, it was her decision to invest in Pfizer and Moderna.
When a big time investor of Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccines speaks out, in favour or on behalf of Pfizer and Moderna, to encourage others to be jabbed with their vaccines, the conflict of interests is glaringly perceived immediately by people who can think. No doubt about it.
Think. Why do people chose Sinovac or Sinopharm vaccines?
ReplyDeleteFor many, it's because they don't trust the new tech mRNA Experimental vaccines that have already proven to be not effective as claimed by the vaccines producers and erroneously supported by idiotic experts and even more stupid political hacks.
So, don't try to con them into taking their third jab with the new tech mRNA experimental vaccines. That is not only stupid but also evil.
