Are imported coronavirus cases not a big deal?

[A Singaporean]

There is a misconception that we are OK because most of the cases are imported. Many seem to forget it is through imported cases first before you can get local transmissions. Local transmissions do not start on their own without first having someone to import the virus here. By not adequately control the border, the imported cases will obviously start local transmissions. So do you still thing imported virus is not a big deal? The PAP obviously want you to think this way so as to hide their incompetence. Do we truly ever have a good standard?

just waiting for a few to slip through the net, become the patients zero of a couple of super clusters, by then the PAP would have gotten the man-date, then they can lockdown.

Watch Vivian explain.

Excellent performance from the Foreign Minister. The fact he is a doctor helps him in his role perfectly.

You thought he went in the interview unprepared? Questions are vetted and protocols are to be followed in events like these.

keeping the eyes on the numbers... KNN... eye power ah?
Arrest the issue by sending all returning Sinkies to the Loyang Chalet, quarantine them like domestic pets before releasing them back to their homes.
What the fuck is an LOA/SHN? Ringfence and herd them up like sheep the way they already are. KNN...

Some Singaporean they also call imported case. As long as resident, they will mingle with the natives jalan jalan eat hawker restaurant sneeze achoo here there risk become magnified.

Unless of course, they the first to bail out when covid hit SG, and are only returning to seek treatment after getting infected abroad. Lower risk of local transmission but well another interesting topic for discussion.

The coronavirus is no big deal so it makes no difference where the virus came from. The vast majority of people will be fine so don't worry so much about it.
