No option you have to live with this and face boldly but with utmost care

To be expected with more people vaccinated and things opening up. No need to panic. As long as death and hospitalizations are under control, covid is something we gotta live with jn the long run. How many people have the flu or cold everyday?

Adopting status quo, govt way of telling people to get vaccinated if they can. Die your business

Common sense tells me that many places is getting dangerous and commuting by bus should be avoided for the time being.

doesn't look good ... you would think of all places in the world ... SG would be able to get it under control ... now ... it won't go back to zero or single figure again

Circuit Breaker... Let's go.

SG chooses to follow American style, nice...

What the?!!!!

Would be nice to get a mitigation update out of CNA for parents of kids under 12, not just MOH data

It's Upsurging...may go above 300..
