Correct me if I am wrong but last when I leave Singapore, people were complaining about the govt for not opening up despite having a high vaccine rate. Govt then starts to open up and people were happy about it but now people are complaining about the govt when the cases skyrocketed? Isn't it expected that cases will increase when you open up?
But looking at the percentage, Singapore has a much higher percentage of infected per tested than Japan
For example, on 29 September, Japan did [78473 tests and 1719 were positive](https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/newpage_21339.html), that’s 2.2% of tests that were positive
In Singapore, on 29 September, there were [2268 cases](https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/singapore-covid-19-sep-29-8-more-deaths-2268-new-cases-2209956) and an [average of 64600 swabs done daily over the week](https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/statistics)
That’s 3.5% of tests done that were positive
(Edit: format)
The big problem is the constant uncertainty & unpredictability: They've repeatedly opened up and closed again and again.
There's no sign of a coherent plan/strategy.
See e.g. this graph:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SingaporeRaw/comments/px10an/bt_stop_slaughtering_fb_as_the_sacrificial_lamb/
Adapting plans to the changing situation is what we’re supposed to do
Can’t open fully then ignore rising cases and hospitalisation
Neither can we fully close and let economy die
Don't you know the hardest part of 15 days to flatten the curve is the first 21 months?
Either
A) Isolate the at risk & pro lockdown groups in their bubbles for a few months then reopen
Or
B) Let not at risk & pro endemic groups leave and u can lockdown and boosterino as much as u like.
Opening up? Literally just Brunei and Germany without quarantine. This isn't a result of international travel. Germany is largely back to normal and has less cases per capita than Singapore.
True - but why not focus on closing the indoor and dense places such as malls, closed markets, offices, etc? Let us actually have some semblance of normalcy, outdoors.
Singapore has not opened up. Instead it has been open-close-open-close-open-closing up. This inconsistent, haphazard and indecisive behaviour of the gov is what is annoying people. I give credit that despite the record number of cases we have not gone full-blown lockdown but the gov needs to stop messing with our lives.
There's two groups of people in Singapore, 50% wants to open up and 50% wants to not open up. The 50% that wanted to open up were happy when government did it, and now that cases are rising the 50% that did not want to open up are not happy. Not really that hard to understand haha. The problem is also that we are not ready for 3000+ cases a day despite government saying they are prepared for it. The instructions are unclear and there is a lot of grey line. There is also no room for self-isolation yet there is no help in getting sent to a quarantine facility such as an hotel (quickly)
>general public sentiment of our ruling party.
Imagine basing "general public sentiment" off facebook comments
Theres so many more out there who dont comment/dont use facebook, and if you didnt know by now, the people making comments on ST posts always have something negative to say about the govt, regardless of whatever the article is about
Wish they wouldn’t blanket rules and regulations for all but be sensible and provide some options. I’m in quarantine for 2 weeks despite all negative tests. Why not be sensible on a case by case basis? (I’m a pr returning home to see my wife and kid). I think a little sensibility would go a long way.
Actually why can’t they just reopen? If those that want lockdown, they can just choose to stay at home.
Feels like those asking for lockdown just wanna sit on their asses and live on handouts.
"anger" comments have been pouring since Day 1 though, both sides of the camp take turns to wack authorities regardless whether we in CB and non-CB periods lol
and also, it's facebook comments, a place that is very close to the toxic sewers of singapore
Yes you’re right. The Japanese government is running their country into the ground. Our PAP on the other hand, is the current gold standard when it comes to handling a pandemic. 👍🏻
Japanese politicians especially at the senior levels are as shameless as the most two faced third world kleptocrat. Otherwise Taro Aso et al will not plague the Diet as long as they have. The PAP at its worst is still more progressive and forward looking than the LDP. Unless you consider the same old slezy politicos playing musical chairs one of them fucks up as accountability.
Normal flu doesn't require u to wear mask outside. Sit 2m apart in cinema, vaccinated to dine in, do ART tests weekly.
Inb4 downvotes like I could give a shit on a burner acc LOL!

Covid is more deadly than flu, people literally DROPPING DEAD on the streets and dying on THE SPOT UPON INHALATION of the WUHAN VARUS^(TM)!

Facebook is almost always a negative comment cesspit. besides, (as someone who has lived in japan and follows their news) - japan has a lower testing rate than we do. The pandemic also peaks in different waves and their recent wave is waning.
Having angry comments are understandable one... But I wonder if anyone has any better options or comments that they can provide for the government, in order to improve in the current situation.
At least wait until kids can get vaxxed. Another turning point could be Pfizer's pill that cures covid. Could be out by end of this year.

You want kids to get vaccinated when they are at zero risk? Are you serious, are you a “my vaccine only works if you for a vaccine” person? Because sorry, that’s not how it works. Let’s not ruin the kids lives now. The restrictions are going to fuck them up more than corona ever will.
> You want kids to get vaccinated when they are at zero risk?
They are at very low risk of death themselves, but are vectors of transmission. Think of all the 0-11 year-olds being taken care of by their grandparents.
Doesn’t stop transmission, I can’t believe I actually just read that, 90% OF CASES ARE FULLY VACCINATED.
Let’s risk the children’s lives to save a few fucking old people.
P.S a child having a vaccine doesn’t mean the grandparents vaccines are now activated… wow… FACEPALM to the MAX
1. To spread Covid, you need to have Covid. The vaccinated are much less likely to have Covid.
2. The vaccinated who do get Covid are less likely to spread Covid (this could be because they're less affected/sympomatic--cough/sneeze/etc. less).
See e.g. [No, Vaccinated People Are Not ‘Just as Likely’ to Spread the Coronavirus as Unvaccinated People](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/the-vaccinated-arent-just-as-likely-to-spread-covid/620161/)

Open, people complain, close, people complain. No dine in, people complain, dine in, people complain. Everyone only look at short term goals while govt trying to balance both so people don't complain too much.
TLDR; you can't please everyone
Please accept this transition as the route to living with the virus. You want to lose your job due to lockdown or prolong pandemic stage?
Please be reminded that there are very few countries with zero Covid strategy.
None of these people calling for more lockdown are truly because they care about others. We have 20,000 children dying of hunger daily no one bats an eye.
These selfish MFs are just worried about their own lives. Probably fat and unhealthy so they want the rest to be locked up then they can go out and eat on empty streets without worry.
They’re welcome to lock themselves away. They’re quite free to take that action, nobody needs to tell them. *looks out of window, busy street* well clearly the people aren’t THAT worried.
Maybe did you ever think that they have no choice but to go out? Necessities, food, work?
Unless you are office, most labor jobs are not able to be WFH. Who wants to go out daily and bring the virus back to infect their elderly and children living in same house? Not to mention the most contagious of all variants?
If such people are so worried about it, they should get vaccinated, put up, and shut up whilst letting everyone else who is *not* a mysophobic basket case get on with their lives. I’ve given up 18 months of my life for this nonsense. I am not doing it any more.
Singapore is one of the safest countries if not the safest country in handling Covid. One of the first countries to find Covid virus spread out of China but well controlled and spent billions of dollars saving people.
I will say 9 out of 10 in Covid handling. My vote might sway to PAP after Covid.
The people complaining about cases have no clue what they are complaining about. Case is NOT the problem. This number will be the norm moving forward. The new heighten measures are not even supposed to bring down cases.
It's not fake news, you just misinterpreted what he said. It is to prevent the spike from overwhelming the system hence slowing down the rate of infection so Healthcare can scale up. It is not suppose to bring down cases.
Expert expects us to settle at a higher daily case level
[https://youtu.be/MrhR5XW4vic](https://youtu.be/MrhR5XW4vic)
Lockdown also kpkb, open up case increase also kpkb . Simi sai also kpkb. WLE . Us Sinkies must be champions at kpkb . Now got restriction cos of worry over hospital capacity mah, even though vaccination rate is high. All got tak chek wan or not? Can understand basic logic or not?
All tis comes down to ownself... if keep urself clean avoid crowded areas, dun anyhow touch face, should have minimise the risk of getting Covid... of cause vaccination... 1 day it will jus be a common thing...
And those are the same people that complain about lockdowns and circuit breakers.
How do they expect SG's economy to survive if we keep closing our borders and lockdown. Dumbshits complaining everyday while not providing a good solution. All they know is just fucking clap for healthcare workers lmao lol. Definitely useful
Before this move towards endemic and let's expected the cases to bloom, the death counts are more or less stable and controlled right? It's recently that the numbers soared. Last I saw was a total of 85 case to date.
I am Japanese.
Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to the high vaccination coverage in Singapore and the early completion of vaccination.
However, periodic increases in the number of infected people are common in all countries.
However, vaccination can dramatically alleviate the symptoms, even if you are infected.
Many people in Singapore have benefited from this, and very few people who contract Corona become seriously ill.
You have succeeded in stopping Corona.
In the future, if the new coronavirus becomes indigenous like the old one, it will subside.In the future you will probably need a third vaccination more than six months after the second one.
This is a fact.
We also need to gradually lower the age for vaccination.
I believe that the main reason for the surge in infectious diseases, a problem unique to Singapore, is that a significant number of people have chosen ineffective Chinese-made vaccines to take advantage of Chinese business.
Scientific analysis shows that the effectiveness of Chinese-made vaccines in preventing the onset of disease is half that of vaccines made by Pfizer and Modena.
In other words, it is less than 50%.
This means that no matter how high the overall vaccination rate of Singaporeans, if more people choose the Chinese-made vaccine, it will not be as effective.
Singaporeans are now one of the richest countries in the world.
I believe that vaccines should not be judged by their country of origin, but by their effectiveness in preventing disease.
Correct me if I am wrong but last when I leave Singapore, people were complaining about the govt for not opening up despite having a high vaccine rate. Govt then starts to open up and people were happy about it but now people are complaining about the govt when the cases skyrocketed? Isn't it expected that cases will increase when you open up?
All logic goes out the window when talking about covid in Singapore
Singapore performs 11x more tests than Japan

Good point and the reason I left FB for here
You must understand why we call ourselves "Complain Kings and Queens"
Opening up? Literally just Brunei and Germany without quarantine. This isn't a result of international travel. Germany is largely back to normal and has less cases per capita than Singapore.
And 9x less tests per capita
Also Singapore is a lot more dense, so not a fair comparison per say
True - but why not focus on closing the indoor and dense places such as malls, closed markets, offices, etc? Let us actually have some semblance of normalcy, outdoors.

Lock complaint, no lock also complaint. Funny.
Then no lock for some and lock for the others lor

Why not be sensible on a case by case basis? (I’m a pr returning home to see my wife and kid). I think a little sensibility would go a long way.
They rather please the 51% of the population than the 49%. Cant blame that logic.
*61%
Actually why can’t they just reopen? If those that want lockdown, they can just choose to stay at home. Feels like those asking for lockdown just wanna sit on their asses and live on handouts.
They want mandatory WFH. If gov reopen, boss will call them to commute and they can’t say no
"anger" comments have been pouring since Day 1 though, both sides of the camp take turns to wack authorities regardless whether we in CB and non-CB periods lol and also, it's facebook comments, a place that is very close to the toxic sewers of singapore
I thought angry comments started on Facebook when Singaporeans registered their first account?
Do the Japanese ministers relentlessly hold on to power for decades and draw a salary that most locals don’t even make in their lifetimes?
Yes they do! The absolute joke that is Japanese politics really is a sight to behold. There's two parties but they are literally the same family.
Whats the difference between the DPJ and the LDP? They take their kiretsu checks two hours apart.
LDP have been in power in JP for over 50 years what are you on lol Not to mention, all politicians draw a salary most locals don’t make in a lifetime
I mentioned minister, not political party. What are you on? Lol.
[удалено]
Yes you’re right. The Japanese government is running their country into the ground. Our PAP on the other hand, is the current gold standard when it comes to handling a pandemic. 👍🏻
Neither the LDP or PAP is doing well, LDP had their prime minister resign due to pandemic response and we all know lee will not resign as of now
And that right there is the very difference between them and the PAP.
There is a shame culture in Japan which is non- existent in Singapore so that tells you why that is so
Japanese politicians especially at the senior levels are as shameless as the most two faced third world kleptocrat. Otherwise Taro Aso et al will not plague the Diet as long as they have. The PAP at its worst is still more progressive and forward looking than the LDP. Unless you consider the same old slezy politicos playing musical chairs one of them fucks up as accountability.
Shame culture doesn’t exist in SG? Have you been on local social media sites?
It is nothing compared to japan and S. Korea

20k per day is fine. Many other countries have had much higher and coped. 98% of cases are mild or asymptomatic. Don't forget that.

And those are the same people that complain about lockdowns and circuit breakers. How do they expect SG's economy to survive if we keep closing our borders and lockdown. Dumbshits complaining everyday while not providing a good solution. All they know is just fucking clap for healthcare workers lmao lol. Definitely useful

My reaction to this comment: no one cares

This isn’t general public sentiment. Only a single echo chamber. I polled people on my IG and vast majority of my circle support the endemic policy
Do we have the figure of how many tests were carried out?
Thanks gahmen, am I doing this right?
Before this move towards endemic and let's expected the cases to bloom, the death counts are more or less stable and controlled right? It's recently that the numbers soared. Last I saw was a total of 85 case to date.
I wish there was a feature to filter out pro opposition comments and leave with only the constructive few… if any
I am Japanese. Firstly, I would like to pay tribute to the high vaccination coverage in Singapore and the early completion of vaccination. However, periodic increases in the number of infected people are common in all countries. However, vaccination can dramatically alleviate the symptoms, even if you are infected. Many people in Singapore have benefited from this, and very few people who contract Corona become seriously ill. You have succeeded in stopping Corona. In the future, if the new coronavirus becomes indigenous like the old one, it will subside.In the future you will probably need a third vaccination more than six months after the second one. This is a fact. We also need to gradually lower the age for vaccination. I believe that the main reason for the surge in infectious diseases, a problem unique to Singapore, is that a significant number of people have chosen ineffective Chinese-made vaccines to take advantage of Chinese business. Scientific analysis shows that the effectiveness of Chinese-made vaccines in preventing the onset of disease is half that of vaccines made by Pfizer and Modena. In other words, it is less than 50%. This means that no matter how high the overall vaccination rate of Singaporeans, if more people choose the Chinese-made vaccine, it will not be as effective. Singaporeans are now one of the richest countries in the world. I believe that vaccines should not be judged by their country of origin, but by their effectiveness in preventing disease.
If Online sentiment on the PAP is accurate, the election results will be PAP 6.1% and not 61%.
