Covid19 - How objective and scientific is the granting of VTL?

 Other destinations currently at Level 4 include Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand and the United Kingdom.

 The CDC advisory comes as Singapore began welcoming more fully vaccinated travellers on Tuesday, after extending its vaccinated travel lane scheme to eight more countries.

Fully vaccinated travellers from Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States will be able to enter Singapore without having to serve quarantine.

More than 2,400 people from these countries have been issued travel passes to enter Singapore as of Oct 13, with about 40 per cent of the passes issued to travellers from the United Kingdom.

Singapore launched its first two vaccinated travel lanes with Brunei and Germany last month. Its travel lane with South Korea will open in Nov 15.

South Korea is among countries with a “high level of COVID-19” currently at Level 3. Others in the same category include Australia, Indonesia, Japan, and Vietnam.

The travel advisory for India is at Level 2, indicating a “moderate level” of COVID-19. Unvaccinated individuals at risk of severe illness are advised to avoid non-essential travel to these places.

Among the Level 1 destinations identified by the CDC are China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and New Zealand. of these countries, Brunei, UK were classified as Level 4 countries, ie high risk. US is likely to be Level 3/4, South Korea is Level 3.

 

The above is quoted from CNA. To open up and welcome foreigners into this tightly packed city state is a risk that would eventually fall upon the population. So we would believe that very serious thoughts must be considered to grant certain countries this privilege. What would be the criteria? Infection rate, Level of risk, level of vaccination or business and political consideration?

The first two countries granted VTL status were Brunei and Gemany.  South Korea is the third. Subsequently 8 more were added, ie Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Netherland, Spain, the US and UK.

What is strange is that countries in Level 1, very safe, like China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and New Zealand are not in the VTL. Also, India is also in Level 2, safer than Level 3/4, is also not in the VTL list.

Question, the VTL is granted because it is safer or because of other reasons? From the approved list it is clearly confusing and unconvincing that it was done objectively and based on scientific evidence.

What do you think?

Why are we letting in high risk visitors from Level 3 and Level 4 countries?

Logic of imbeciles?

PS. Did the MTF think people from high risk countries, or countries not in the approved VTL list could just go to these VTL countries, spend a fortnight there and fly straight to this silly little island to spread their virus? Possible?

Put the People’s Health First

China can’t look to Singapore for a way to live with Covid-19, health economist says

- There has been little public sign of support in China for a Singapore-style approach.
- the city state failed to contain cases when it eased restrictions
- the key to opening up is whether all countries have got transmission under control

Singapore’s “experiment” to live with the coronavirus – and its subsequent spike in infections – might not be a useful model for China as it considers whether to reopen its borders, a Chinese health researcher has said.

“This safety net protecting the health of 1.4 billion people did not come easily. We can’t let it go just like that,” Li Ling, from Peking University’s National School of Development, was quoted as saying by mainland news website Guancha.cn on Wednesday.

Restrictions in Singapore were reimposed in late September after cases surged and hospitals came under pressure. The restrictions, originally set to expire on Monday, will continue until November 21, Singaporean officials said on Wednesday after a record 3,994 cases were reported on Tuesday.

Li said Singapore’s strategy had failed to contain the number of cases and if similar conditions occurred in China, a country of 1.4 billion, “it would not be just a matter of 3,000 daily new cases”.

The key to China reopening was whether infections and new variants were under control in other countries.

“As long as one country cannot control the virus, no country can eliminate the threat of infection,” she said.

Taiwan - Cool and sensible advice from Alexander Mercouris for Taiwan

 

Taiwan Crisis Intensifies, Taiwan President Tsai Defies China, War Fears Grow

This is a 58 min video from the presenter on the Taiwan crisis and how the USA is playing with fire on a promise that they could not deliver, like writing blank cheque with their mouth and unable to cash. He quoted American military analyst report that the Americans would never ever be able to defend and would not defend Taiwan except stirring shit and giving the Taiwanese separatist movement false hope and confidence, leading them to a path of self destruction.

In the last part of the presentation he gave some very practical and sensible analysis and recommendations to the Taiwanese on what is best for them.

Christian Le Miere - Pretentious white men tell white lies

 Commentary: A pity China can’t seem to ditch its wolf warrior diplomacy

Despite recent exhortations from President Xi to tone down their language, China’s wolf warriors are here to stay. Their effects are not all positive, says Christian Le Miere.  CNA

Is this Christian Le Miere cockeye or drunk? Didn't he know what is happening in the world and what the Americans are doing to China, practically daily, nonstop attacking China with fabricated lies that resulted in this Wolf Warrior Diplomacy from China? 

Should he, if he is not drunk, and a well informed political observer, be writing,  'A pity US can’t seem to ditch its hostile, belligerent and irresponsible behaviour against China?' When would the lying, cheating, bullying, warmongering murderous American savages stop their primitive behaviour to live in peace with the rest of the world?

The people that committed the worse genocide in human history accusing China of genocide without any evidence and with no one in the world believing in this lie, accusing China of bullying when they are bullying China and other smaller countries all over the world, accusing China of lying when they lied and lied and lied to invade countries? Can these lying Americans be trusted?

What do you think? This man is sensible or another white biased supremacist that cannot see any wrong in white men and their reckless, provocative and gangster behavior?  American and AngloSaxon rogue behaviours are all positive? The provocation are slight, to protect countries from? China going to invade other countries, conduct regime change, support terrorist organisations and NGOs to destabilise countries? Really? In many instances the American provocation and incitement of hate could result in open war. The virus attack in Wuhan, the provocations in the South China Sea, the fabricated lies about Xinjiang, supporting unrest in Hong Kong, violation of China's rights and security by selling arms to Taiwan, passing a law to defend Taiwan against China's effort to reunite Taiwan with the mother land are all aggressive and unfriendly acts of war.

And many stupid media think it fits to publish this kind of white rubbish. What was the intent and motive to promote and sell white men's lies and hostile agenda?

Covid19 - VTL, How likely are the chances of false or error reports in the virus test?

LONDON: A COVID-19 testing laboratory in central England has been suspended over concern that it has been incorrectly giving negative PCR test results to people who are infected, the UK Health Security Agency (UKSHA) said on Friday (Oct 15).

NHS Test and Trace launched an investigation into a lab in Wolverhampton after reports of people getting negative PCR test results after testing positive on rapid lateral flow devices (LFDs).

UKSHA said that an estimated 43,000 people may have been given incorrect negative PCR test results, mainly in South West England, possibly underestimating the number of people with coronavirus between Sep 8 and Oct 12.  

The above is reported in CNA. Can you imagine, one of the most advanced country in Europe, the United Kingdom, damn high quality medical standard, could give error test results, estimated 43,000 people that were positive but tested as negative? What are the implications of these test results? VTL, what is VTL, Vaccinated Travel Lane for entry into Singapore. How many of the 43,000 have entered Singapore and how many people were directly been exposed to them and infected by them?

If this could happen to the United Kingdom, listen carefully, the United Kingdom, not any third world countries when errors, cheating, fakings are the norm. If this is supposed to be a genuine mistake in the UK, how many times more would there be from third world countries or even the USA? 

How many things can go wrong with the VTL, genuine mistakes, fake mistakes, mistakes due to bribery, cheating etc etc? How safe is it to open VTL or how risky it is to have such arrangements?

Our imbeciles still think the rest of the world are like Singapore, a piece of medical paper is likely to be genuine when printed on very good quality papers. They still have not learnt from all the fake academic degrees that have flooded into this island and causing so many of our PMETs to lose their jobs. Now, how many of those coming through the VTL scheme were using fake medical certificates or genuine certificates that were from genuine mistakes or intentional mistakes? 

Would Singapore be willing and foolish suckers? This is no joking matters as the lives of many Singaporeans are at stakes.

PS.  Who are the biggest peddlers of the idea of living with the virus? Ans: Donald Trump and Boris Johnson.

What are these two famous for? Ans: Empty heads.
