Facing facts ah it's a matter of time. Also I think they tend to do things very systematically with a phased approach so it's easy to preempt their next move. Nothing is really sudden. I see the closure of Changi Airport as one of the last switches before the main event kicks in lol. But anyway with so much negativity all around, you need an angel like me to light up the darkness.

Still positive hahaha 😅

For light does the darkness most fear.

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these

I won't be made useless
Won't be idle with despair
I'll gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

To be honest, that's the only thing we can do la. We already enjoyed as close to normalcy as we can for sometime alr. As long as the whole world is still sick, I don't think any country can be safe unless we completely seal ourselves off. We took a gamble with the situation and unfortunately we lucked out.

CB 2.0 coming to a screen near you soon. 😕

Quickly go stock up your puzzle pieces. Hahaha show us your accomplishments.

Joke aside, our authority like to point finger at singaporean urging us not to be complacent but forgotten 4 fingers are pointing at themselves.

The many proposed travel bubbles, the setting up of what meeting hall at Changi convention hall, the many claims that we can't shut out borders all these painted a glossy picture everythings are under their control. The daily reporting separating imported figure relative to local transmission.  Masking the fact that once an "import" become imported he/she is no different from a local transmission. Putting our healthcare/frontline/locals all at risk.

Maybe indian virus is literate have the ability to differentiate various type of socal pass /depend pass / work permit / pink IC etc.

Okie...enough ranting...😓

Their "risk based approach" has resulted in a "knife edge" situation for Singaporeans in 2 weeks' time, in their own words no less. If this isn't incompetence tell me what is.

This makes me nervous. Vaccine is the last hope and now this😭

If there is a second CB, the impact will be worse this time because more retailers will just shut for good (leading to more permanent job losses). Govt will also have to inject multiple billions into the economy, which is all tax monies of course.

In times of pandemic, our country is still beholden to the CECA contract. We let so many of them in at such a time.

I'm not sure if this is worth what we are getting from the CECA contract. How much does the average Joe benefit from CECA when time is good, and when shit happens (now), how is the average Joe able to fill his stomach?

If really there is CB, dont know will gahment touch the reserves to help affected sector again?

In fact there is already a phased "lockdown" - starting with the airport which is effectively closed, businesses at jewel all cannot operate.

But as we can see, the problem of locking down certain sectors is that people will just be channeled elsewhere, e.g. you close the malls, all the crowd will shift to parks and beaches, etc.

The only way to keep people indoors is to close everything, like in the first CB. Then there's nowhere to go.

Perhaps those essential sectors that have managed to achieve good control through regulations, e.g. schools, can be allowed to continue, but all those free-for-all public places should be closed.

We had 125 community cases and 12 clusters in just a month (April 13 to May 12)

No need for a debate on ceca in parliament between thr oppies and shamemugam.

It will just be another lopsided 83 yesmen versus 5 or 6 helpless kittens fight. Put it to a national referendum like how Brexit did it. Let the will of the people decide.

Coronavirus: Hong Kong-Singapore travel bubble to launch as scheduled this month despite recent cases, commerce minister says

https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3133179/coronavirus-hong-kong-singapore-travel-bubble

I thought we exceeded 5 unlinked cases already ? 

Today is 13th may, so perhaps situation might improve by 26th may. So finger crossed.

[Fcw75]

According to the terms agreed by both sides, the scheme will be suspended for two weeks if the seven-day moving average of unlinked infections in either city exceeds five cases.

 

Think we haven’t exceed yet. Link ah link.
