S’pore Covid-19 Cases Exceed 10,000 For 2 Straight Weeks, Hospitalisation Incidents Also Increase



Doctors have reportedly been seeing more patients in March.

Singapore has long since treated Covid-19 as endemic, ceasing the tracking of cases as religiously as we used to. But that doesn’t mean that the authorities have stopped recording data completely.

Latest reports from the Ministry of Health (MOH) show that the number of new cases has been rising quite significantly in recent weeks.

Most notably, the figures stood at over 10,000 new cases on average each week, for two consecutive weeks.

More than 10,000 new cases per week in mid-March​

Since changing its stance towards the coronavirus, MOH has been tracking average cases per Epi-week rather than daily.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an Epi-week or Epidemological week is simply a complete week. Health ministries around the globe may consider Sunday as the first day of the week while others may recognise it to be Saturday or Monday.

Singapore’s weekly infectious disease bulletin updates by MOH seem to show that our Epi-week starts on a Monday.

By virtue of that, the latest Covid-19 statistics thus indicate that the average number of new cases per week exceeded 10,000 for the two weeks leading up to 18 Mar.

Based on the graph, that’s more than double the numbers in previous weeks.

Number of Covid-19 cases in hospitals also increased​

As if in tandem, the number of hospitalisation cases also increased in the same weeks, exceeding 120 in the most recent update.

A large number appear to be patients aged 60 years old and above.
Among those in hospitals, five were in the intensive care unit (ICU) as of 18 Mar.

Perhaps a form of consolation could be in the fact that the number of Covid-19-related deaths fell between January and February, from 12 to five.

Vaccination status in the population also appears promising, with nearly or more than 90% of people across all age groups having at least the minimum protection.

Doctors seeing more patients​

Doctors interviewed by 8world News claimed that they have been seeing more patients testing positive for Covid-19 in March. These individuals, however, mostly demonstrate mild symptoms.

Among their suspicions for the rise is that people are becoming laxer with measures such as taking antigen rapid tests (ART).

With the Government also eventually ceasing subsidies for Covid-19 testing and treatment, they foresee cases rising further.

Therefore, eligible individuals are advised to keep their vaccinations up-to-date, especially since vaccines are still free for most residents in Singapore.

Stop testing, you morons! Those magical lines on your precious ART test kits mean nothing. :rolleyes:

?? 97% vaccinated leh.

No one is 'fully vaccinated'. It's just like prostitutes, once you have taken your first customer, you are forever tainted and your identity as a prostitute has been established. Many of the 97% have no regrets and will be eager to take more customers. :biggrin:

Why don’t they report that death rates hv also increased exponentially? Inconvenient truth? But from a KPI point of view, ong and his murderers have resounding success

He received instructions. And if you haven't realized it already, Tedros and the WHO are a huge part of the problem. :cool:

The figures are meaningless as doctors are no longer required to test for Covid 19 in upper respiratory tract infection-so nobody knows the actual number of covid cases .
I see so many high risk people (esp elderly) in crowded and aircond places not wearing mask, lulled into complacency by the PAP's declaration that all is well and the pandemic is over.

Yes. Actual numbers of COVID cases are higher.
No. Nobody declared the pandemic over.
Yes. Vaccination is still key to low mortality rates for COVID.

Facts are facts... :biggrin:

Facts are narratives sanctioned by the powers that be. They are but numbers fabricated by those who write the incumbent narrative. Every reading is a misreading, so numbers are technically useless cos another team in charge will give you a different result

Vaccines don’t work, masks don’t work: Everything government told us about COVID-19 was wrong.​

OPINION:
Remember when the federal government told you masks were effective against COVID-19?
Yeah, they’re not.
Remember when the government told you vaccines will keep you from getting the virus?
Yeah, they don’t.
And remember when the federal government told you COVID didn’t come from a lab in Wuhan, China? Well, it did. Who says? The federal government.
The narrative laid out by the administrations of both former President Donald Trump and President Biden has rapidly fallen apart in the past couple of weeks.
The New York Times published a piece last week headlined “The Mask Mandates Did Nothing. Will Any Lessons Be Learned?” It was penned by Bret Stephens, an opinion columnist with the Times who won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 2013.
“The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses — including Covid-19 — was published late last month. Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous.”
“‘There is just no evidence that they’ — masks — ‘make any difference,’ he told the journalist Maryanne Demasi. ‘Full stop.’”
“But, wait, hold on. What about N-95 masks, as opposed to lower-quality surgical or cloth masks? ‘Makes no difference — none of it,’ said Jefferson.”
Hang on. Study after study in the early days of the pandemic asserted that masks worked, which prompted lawmakers at every level of government to enact mask mandates. But Mr. Jefferson says those studies were “non-randomized” and “flawed.”
So that raises the question: What about Mr. Jefferson’s study? Yeah, no. He and 11 colleagues conducted 78 randomized controlled trials with a total of 610,872 participants in numerous countries.
“Mask mandates were a fool’s errand from the start,” Mr. Stephens wrote. “They may have created a false sense of safety — and thus permission to resume semi-normal life. They did almost nothing to advance safety itself. The Cochrane report ought to be the final nail in this particular coffin.”
Also this week, researchers examined the efficacy of local COVID-19 vaccine mandates implemented across the United States in 2021 and found they didn’t work.
“These mandates imposed severe restrictions on the lives of many citizens and business owners,” the researchers said in a study conducted by George Mason University’s Mercatus Center. “Yet, we find no evidence that the mandates were effective in their intended goals of reducing COVID-19 cases and deaths.”
The researchers evaluated the District of Columbia, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.
“We find no evidence that the announcement or implementation of indoor vaccine mandates in the cities listed had any significant effect on vaccine uptake, COVID-19 cases, or COVID-19 deaths, and this is largely consistent for all US cities that implemented the mandate,” the researchers wrote.
When COVID-19 arrived on our shores in early 2020, leaders of big cities — almost invariably Democrats — enacted major lockdowns, forcing businesses to close and shutting down entertainment and sports venues. They also ordered everyone to wear masks. When vaccines were created, those leaders issued mandates requiring millions to take them.
For instance, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, said in August 2021 that science shows mask and vaccine mandates would slow the spread.
But researchers found no evidence to back that up.
“Our findings put into question the efficacy of city-level vaccine mandates,” the researchers found. “Indoor vaccine mandates caused large disruptions for many individuals and businesses. New York City, for example, fired 1,430 city workers for failing to comply with its vaccine mandate. A survey found that over 90% of NYC restaurants reported having customer-related challenges, such as losing customers who objected to the mandate, and 75% having staff-related challenges. Those are just a small fraction of the disruptions caused by the mandates.”
“Most supporters of the mandates claim that the associated increase in vaccination rates, and its implied reduction in the spread of COVID-19, outweigh the cost of the disruptions. However, we find that the effects of the mandates on their intended outcomes are not statistically noticeable in any of the cities they were implemented in all empirical strategies used,” the report said.
Then last week we found out the global COVID-19 pandemic originated from a virology lab in run by the communist regime in China, according to a new U.S. Department of Energy document that was recently provided to key members of Congress and the White House.
Remember when social media squelched any mention of that? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
So now we know that the government didn’t know a thing about COVID-19. They told us things to make us do what they wanted us to do, but none of it was based in science.
And that should scare the hell out of you.
