Covid19 - Frightening the seniors with statistics

 The seniors are still reluctant to go for Covid19 jabs or at least a large number of them are dragging their feet. The govt is unhappy as they want to open up the economy quickly and needed as many of the population to be vaccinated so that when they put into action the living dangerously strategy of living with the virus, those that could be infected, especially the seniors, the infection would not be fatal.

So a lot of pressure is now being placed on the seniors to get jabbed. They did not want to know the real reasons why the seniors are reluctant to do so. It is not just a matter of the seniors not trusting the mRNA vaccines. It is much simpler than that. It is hurting the pockets of many seniors, many retired, jobless, and have little money left in their pockets. How could the govt ever think of the seniors with empty pockets going to pay $50 for two jabs in the private clinics? And to make the seniors angrier, the rest of the population are getting free jabs of more expensive mRNA vaccines. If the govt is willing to give more expensive vaccines for free, why won't the govt give the cheaper Sinovac vaccines free to the poor, no money seniors and desperately wanting the seniors to get their jabs?

The KTV and Jurong Fishery Port clusters now present a golden opportunity for the govt to frighten the seniors, that they are more vulnerable and using statistics to prove their case. 81 seniors were infected and 12 were unvaccinated. Wow, big numbers.

Really? When using statistics, the statistics must be meaningful and not lying. To date, 519 cases were reported from this group out of which 81 were seniors. This says that only 15.6 % of the infected were seniors and  84.4% were not seniors. Now what is so troubling about the seniors when the majority infected, 84.4% were below 60? Many much fewer seniors were infected.

Also, of the 81 seniors infected, only 12 were unvaccinated, or only 14.8% of the infected were not vaccinated and a huge 85.2% of the seniors infected were vaccinated. Can one come to the conclusion that more vaccinated seniors were infected and thus getting vaccinated did not lower the risk of getting infected, in fact the risk of getting infected were higher than those not vaccinated. Similarly, the risk of younger people getting infected is very much higher than the seniors.

So why keep harping about seniors not getting jabs when the likelihood of them getting infected is much, much lower than the younger people? And why getting jab is so important and urgent when people who were vaccinated have actually a higher chance of getting infected?

Of course there are other factors that have to be taken into consideration, and also getting infected after being jabbed would likely to be less deadly.

The statistics did not show much advantage for the seniors to be vaccinated as the risk of being infected against the young and the vaccinated is actually lower even without being vaccinated. This is what the statistics said.

By the way, when is the govt going to make Sinovac free for the poor seniors so that they can get their jabs quickly? Why keep barking at the wrong tree? CB!

Covid-19 Singapore: Towards A Future Of No Future

The fact is that the millionaire Ministers can afford to play-play with the coronavirus and the lives and health of the people, but we the masses cannot afford to play-play with the coronavirus and our own lives and children's future.

Another fact is that the Multi-Ministry Task force, comprising people who have been on the fast-track of good and easy life all their life, is running out of ideas, patience and competence and two of them are in the running for the position of the 4G Prime Minister. These two factors might have driven them to desperation and despair. During such challenging and demanding time, the pseudo leaders are easily exposed by their inability to hold their nerves and their tendency to give up easily.

Yet another fact is that after spending $100 billion or more, the economy is still not looking good for all of us, though the government has gone ahead to reward the civil service and the Ministers with bonuses based on last quarter's GDP report. So, it is very likely that they could be looking forward to more self-rewards by opening up the economy hastily and prematurely.

Another fact is that their open-and-shut measures in the last 18 months of the Pandemic have made them looked like fools and a laughing stock. So, they could have decided that enough is enough and decide to open up for business once and for all, like the conceited, egoistic psychopath Dotard Trump.

To the Ministers, it is living with the Coronavirus.

To some of us, it is living dangerously with and suffering from the coronavirus.

To yet another group of us, it could be dying, not living, with the coronavirus.

Therefore, it is not so easy to say the new normal is normal. It is, in fact, for all intent and purposes, abnormal!

This new normal is not conceived by new people. It is conceived by the same group of people who has been flip-flopping several times. So how can it be new?

This new normal is not thought out by normal people. It is thought out by extraordinary people. So how can it be normal?

We are, therefore, being led by extraordinary people into an extraordinary situation, whereby we may live or die with the coronavirus. There's no certainty.

Going forward, our future is very doubtful and uncertain. As a people, we may be ostracized as outcasts, being feared everywhere we go, and avoided by others like lepers.

That is the extraordinary situation we shall face in the future of no future.

Foreign workers - Lee Kuan Yew saw the problems and responsibilities to Singaporeans

 

This was posted by Lim Tean in TRE.  Lee Kuan Yew could see the problems and understood his responsibilities to Singaporeans.

What about the imbeciles?

Malaysia is a good example and a painful reminder of what would happen when you lose political power. You will not have any right to exist and would be dumped and bullied, and all opportunities would be removed from you. The 4G PM potential would not be potential if the Chinese lose their majority in Singapore. They would not even be good enough to be an PM. Remember that and stop being foolish. 

All the top positions would be reserved to the new majority. What is happening today in Singapore when the minorities are appointed to top positions in excess of their numbers, over represented, is an anomaly due to the generosity of the Chinese majority and in a sense naiveity. 

When a less generous ethnic group becomes the majority, would they be as generous as the Chinese or would they do a Malaysia? Look at how whole villages were brought in to replace the Singaporean PMETs is an ominous sign of things to come. What is happening in Chennai Business Park and Mumbai Financial Centre should send a chill down your spine. There could be Chennai Business Parks and Mumbai Financial Centres all over the island.

Be awaken to the challenges and dangers of what might be coming around the corner and be proactive to protect from the harm that could change your life and the lives of your children and grand children. Do not think and act like the imbeciles and let Singapore go down the road to destruction and oblivion.

Living Dangerously And Dying Happily With Covid-19 In Singapore

By changing the term Pandemic to Endemic, we can live dangerously and die happily with the Covid-19 in our midst. This is the new normal spelt out by Three Wise Men, sent by God to Singapore, to help His Son tackle the Covid-19 Pandemic easily, without sweat.

In order to illustrate to the gentiles how to live happily with Covid-19, God keeps increasing the number of infected persons everyday, from the ports of arrival to the happy night joints, and from the happy night joints to the markets, food courts and fishery port.

From just a handful to 20, to 30, to 40, to 60, to 80, to 92, to 120 and to an additional 172 cases of COVID-19 in Singapore yesterday.

Those people have picked up the cue from the Three Wise Men very quickly. They have been living it up with the Covid-19 day and night without any respite nor restrain. They are very fast learners. They are the gangho ones. They are the street-smart ones.

They are very keen to help grow the GDP for the country. They are the loyal and model citizens that the Mafias, oops I meant Ministers, can depend upon.

They helped to bring the total number of infected cases to 63,245 and counting. They definitely deserve to be awarded a medal each for their outstanding service to the nation this coming National Day.

Out of the 172 cases, there are 163 new locally transmitted COVID-19 infections. According to MOH, 106 of these are linked to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster and 19 belong to the KTV cluster. According to my common sense, all these are interlinked to one another in a huge happy family. All of them are impregnated and carrying offsprings produced by one single Type Delta Variant of the Covid-19, probably from India.

Of the 163 cases, 66 are linked to previous cases, 71 have been detected through surveillance and 26 are not traceable to any infected person. This is just a small initial demonstration of how to live with Covid-19.

Moreover, there are 9 new happily imported cases. The country from which they have come from is a closely guarded secret that the daft Singaporean public should not know. Otherwise, they may turn racist or turn amok.

4 of the 9 happily imported infected persons were detected upon arrival in Singapore. The other 5 were only detected after they have developed the symptoms of the disease, while they were already inside Singapore. This is another aspect that shows you what living with the Covid-19 is all about.

According to last night’s news, 243 cases are currently warded in hospital. Most are learning how to live dangerously with the Covid-19.

There are five cases of serious illness requiring oxygen supplementation, and one in critical condition in the intensive care unit. None amongst these six cases is fully vaccinated. They are learning to die with the Covid-19.

It is such a wonderful experience to live, to suffer and to die with the Covid-19. This Singapore model of the Three Wise Men must be recommended to the rest of the World.

The Three Wise Men must be recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize!


Queen of Hearts.

Covid19 - The bad news is...

Last month (24 Jun), ministers Gan Kim Yong, Lawrence Wong and Ong Ye Kung drew a new roadmap for Singaporeans to live with Covid-19. They want Singaporeans to deal with Covid-19 as part of their daily lives.

That is to say, people will go to work, travel and shop without quarantines and lockdowns, even with the coronavirus in their midst.

With enough people vaccinated, Covid-19 will be managed like other endemic diseases such as the common flu, said the three ministers, who co-chair the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19.

“The bad news is that Covid-19 may never go away. The good news is that it is possible to live normally with it in our midst,” they said. “Our next milestone will be to have at least two-thirds of our population fully vaccinated with two doses around National Day.”

Above from the correspondent and posted in TOC.

Is is a good idea to drop all restrictions and live like normal, no quarantines, no lockdowns, no masks. The US and UK are advocating this.  Since they are unable to control the virus, just jab as many as possible and try to live with the virus. Australia is a funny exception.  They have the virus quite under control and would still resort to lockdowns and restrictions to control the virus and not allowing it to spread or admit defeat and have to live with the virus. Countries that are relatively successful in curbing the spread would not want to let go and live with the virus.

So there will be two camps with two different views and thoughts on how to deal with and live with the virus. One choosing to live dangerously with the virus and another saying no way. The good news is that all the countries that have failed to control the virus would want to live dangerously with the virus.  So Singapore would have many friends like the US, UK and India to be sleeping partners.

The bad news is that countries that are successful in controlling the virus would close their doors to Singaporeans who want to live with the virus. They may ban Singaporeans and SIA from flying into their countries.

Then what? Some may want to live dangerously and some may not. The world would be divided into two camps, the everything goes camp and another camp that says, no way, stay away from us. How many would like to join Singapore to live with the virus? I can count on US, UK and India to live dangerously and happily. Just open the door wide wide, Singapore's favourite style.

The latest spread in KTVs and Jurong Fish Market is a good opportunity to live with the virus. No need to panic, no need to clamp down, just let it be and live as if nothing has happened.

What do you think?

And the bad news is, don't pray, pray with this virus. It is too unpredictable and very challenging and can be very deadly.
