once pap decided that its going to be endemic living, meaning they wouldn't impose strict border controls, quarantine, restrictions and lockdowns, vaccination is a must, unless you live in tiongcock like some of my friends who still refuse to be vaccinated because they don't believe in it and they are still "safe" because ccp is still adopting zero covid strategies and policies.
Yes vaccination in sg should no longer be optional

however for some with comorbidities, vax or unvax makes no difference because their bodies are already compromised with illnesses and age.

that brings us back to the question whether it is ethical to adopt the endemic living strategy, sacrificing the weak and or elderly with comorbidities, for the benefit of the 98% or so that wouldn't be seriously affected even if infected.

2% of 5m singkie residents is sick is manageable politically and economically compared to 2% of 1 billion+ tiongs. if tiongcock adopts endemic living, the ccp might be out of job very soon. haaaa

It would be interesting to see the stats and numbers for those vaccinated above 70 years old with comorbidities. What are the survival percentages of them becoming seriously ill after catching COVID? Methinks it is 60% and more.... We are only presented with their death and seriously ill data, not their survival data.

If the leeders made vaccination as well as 3rd shot boosters mandatory for the elderly, we will see a marked reduction in the numbers of seriously ill and death.

Many seniors were the first to take the jab and their efficacy have waned. If you were to see the data of how long ago was the vaccination of those elderly vaxxed that are seriously ill or died, I bet they would be more than 6 months ago.

MTF underestimated the potency of the new virus variant. If you are in an aircon place, you are likely susceptible to getting the virus if you inhale the aerosols when your mask is down.

By Apoorva Mandavilli
Newer variants of the coronavirus like Alpha and Delta are highly contagious, infecting far more people than the original virus. Two new studies offer a possible explanation: The virus is evolving to spread more efficiently through air.

The realization that the coronavirus is airborne indoors transformed efforts to contain the pandemic last year, igniting fiery debates about masks, social distancing and ventilation in public spaces.

Most researchers now agree that the coronavirus is mostly transmitted through large droplets that quickly sink to the floor and through much smaller ones, called aerosols, that can float over longer distances indoors and settle directly into the lungs, where the virus is most harmful.

The new studies don’t fundamentally change that view. But the findings signal the need for better masks in some situations, and indicate that the virus is changing in ways that make it more formidable.

“This is not an Armageddon scenario,” said Vincent Munster, a virologist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who led one of the new studies. “It is like a modification of the virus to more efficient transmission, which is something I think we all kind of expected, and we now see it happening in real time.”

Dr. Munster’s team showed that small aerosols traveled much longer distances than larger droplets and the Alpha variant — or B.1.1.7, first identified in Britain — was much more likely to cause new infections via aerosol transmission. The second study found that people infected with Alpha exhaled about 43 times more virus into tiny aerosols than those infected with older variants.
The studies compared Alpha with the original virus or other older variants. The results may also explain why the Delta variant is so contagious — and why it displaced all other versions of the virus.
“It really indicates that the virus is evolving to become more efficient at transmitting through the air,” said Linsey Marr, an expert in airborne viruses at Virginia Tech who was not involved in either study. “I wouldn’t be surprised if, with Delta, that factor were even higher.”
The tools at our disposal all still work well to halt the spread. Even loosefitting cloth and surgical masks block about half of the fine aerosols containing virus, according to the study of people infected with variants, published this month in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Still, at least in some crowded spaces, people may want to consider switching to more protective masks, said Don Milton, an aerosol expert at the University of Maryland who led the research.
Are you vaccinated? If yes, go about your life normally. If no, please go get jabbed to protect yourself and then go about life normally.

No need to spend too much time analysing to death how viruses travel or change. Viruses will travel and change however the hell nature wants them to. The key is to protect yourself from it. The science and data shows 98% as having mild or no symptoms and this is because of a 90% vaccinated population in Sinkeepoo. Science and data don't lie.

Those cloth and surgical masks don't stop aerosol transmission. There are gaping holes on all sides.

A property fitted N95 mask is needed in order to make a difference to the transmission rate.

the dorm workers too
they were also amongst the first to vax.
so no surprise the dorm figures will go up tremendously the next few weeks.

For the dorm workers, the numbers are the least worrying. They are all mostly vaccinated and in a category by themselves as they have been largely contained and mostly cut off from circulating in the general population. Most are also not elderly and frail, so boosters may not be necessary for them.

That's what I mean.

People think that the surgical mask is effective in preventing the Delta virus infection. That explains the high number of infection.

98% of people who are infected exhibit mild symptoms is no consolation to those who catch the virus and become seriously sick. When the trend of infection keeps rising sharply, the absolute number of those who become seriously sick and dying will also rise. No one wants to be in the 2% . The MTF thinks that you are just plain unlucky if you happens to be in the 2%.

These MTF fellas 'd better not catch the virus and get seriously sick.

There is no such thing as 100% showing no serious illness or death in any disease. Even a simple cold can kill if you have underlying illnesses.

Yes, so that we can remember him although not so fondly, together with the idiot tobelightlight.
The other moron is busy calling for an uprising of the unvaxxed while openly asking them to drink the cleaning agent Chlorine Dioxide. He can't seem to make up his mind whether to ask them to take up arms or kill them. What a dick! :roflmao:

Yes he is trying hard to be the top moron in this forum, but he is getting there.
