We Do Not Expect Numbers To Come Down At All (Singapore Back In Lockdown Despite 80+% Vaccinated)

Singapore — The Multi-ministry Task Force (MTF) assigned to tackle the pandemic held a press conference on Friday afternoon (Sept 24) to announce that restrictions will be imposed afresh amid the surge in new infections.

The uptick may be expected to last for a while, said Finance Minister Lawrence Wong.

Singapore saw on Thursday the largest number of new cases to date, with 1,504 people testing positive for Covid. 

The Ministry of Health (MOH) warned that if the current trajectory of cases continues, a new daily count of 3,200 cases may be expected by next week.

“WE DO NOT EXPECT NUMBERS TO COME DOWN AT ALL. IN FACT, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO RISE. BUT HOPEFULLY AT A SLOWER RATE THAN BEFORE, SO THAT WE CAN RIDE THROUGH THIS WAVE WITHOUT OVERWHELMING OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.”

Mr Wong also warned that Singapore will likely not be a return to low infection numbers.

“In other words, we are not going back to a scenario of low daily cases anymore” he said. “It’s not going to be possible because we are moving forward, to learn to live with the virus, and we are continuing with our reopening plans.”

The ministers, however, said that the new restrictions do not mean a return to a heightened alert, but rather, “a stabilisation phase.”

According to Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong, a return to tighter measures, though disappointing to many, was made in order to prevent the healthcare system from becoming overstretched, and to allow for more time to polish home recovery and home care services.

The new restrictions that the MTF announced will stay in place for one month, until Oct 25. They will be reviewed every fortnight and adjusted as the situation warrants.

“I want to assure you that Singapore remains committed to reopening. The journey may take longer so that we can do so safely. We seek your patience and support while we adjust our response to ride this wave and future waves of infections,” added Mr Gan.

Starting from Monday (Sept 27), only two people will be allowed to gather in groups. Additionally, in Food and Beverage Establishments, only two fully vaccinated people can sit together, except in hawker centres and coffee shops.

People will be on Work From Home basis for the coming month, from Sept 27 to Oct 24. Those who cannot do so will be tested weekly. Additionally, Home-Based Learning (HBL) will be extended till Oct 7 for all primary and special education schools.

As for the frustration people have felt regarding the Home Recovery programme, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said that the MOH is now receiving help from the Singapore Armed Forces to answer people’s questions.

He added that around 1,200 beds will be added at the new community treatment facilities for Covid patients who have underlying conditions but are not gravely ill. This would address the backlog in cases, he added.

However, MOH is also expanding booster shots, with people aged between 50 and 59 who were fully vaccinated at least six months ago will be invited to get a third mRNA shot.

The Finance Minister also said that a $650 million support package made up of Jobs Support Scheme subsidies, rental waivers, and relief for taxi and private hire car drivers will be distributed in aid of companies that will bear the brunt of the new restrictions, but added that past reserves will not be drawn on. /TISG

Singapore is one of the highest vaxxed countries in the world (using Pfizer) and yet just like Israel they have seen MORE cases now than prior to the vax.
They have just announced fresh lockdown measures....only 2 people allowed to 'group', people must work and school from home among other measures.

Singapore is a small country of under 6 million, borders have remained tight for 18 months (14 day hotel quarantine on arrival), no tourists and yet they, just like Israel are proof that the vax does nothing to curb cases and hospitalisations.
They are moving ahead with boosters from next week. More of the same MUST equal a different outcome....Right?...

Normally when a vaccine rolls out. The virus goes away.

How come it is getting worse?

Answer: Because the “vaccine” is the virus.

[ransomnote]

I started trying to nail down which fake 'vaccines' Singapore is using.  It seems to have changed, they have been using, at various times, many damagining, useless 'vaccines'.

However, the 'vaccine' from China, Sinovac, is not part of Sinapores official programm so they will recognize it as a 'vaccine' but the patient will not be eligible for the worthless little amount of money given to compensate those harmed by the vax, if only you can prove to the government its was the vax...

Quotes below from this website:

MOH | COVID-19 Vaccination

Full 'narrative' in Singapore. 'Safe for breastfeeding women' because everyone's doing it (internationally) blah blah blah..."

Pfizer 'only' for children 12-17

"Falsehood on COVID-19 Vaccination Links with Stroke and Heart Attack
MOH is aware of falsehoods circulating that the COVID-19 vaccination has clear and causal links with stroke and heart attack. "

"Vaccine Booster Programme 
To maintain the high level of vaccine protection, we will be rolling out the vaccine booster programme from 14 Sep onwards for Seniors, Residents of Aged Care Facilities and Immunocompromised Persons.  Find out more here. "

That’s why I was suspicious when TPTB said we would reach heard immunity by getting vaccinated.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

By the old definition of “vaccine” we would say that the “vaccine” is not working, but luckily we have changed the definition of “vaccine” twice and the COVID “vaccines” are performing exactly as they should.

This is all insanity that seems to have no end in sight.

[hardspunned]

The masquerade is ending, “forget about Covid, forget about vaccines, we just like the idea of being able to lock you down whenever and for whatever reason we want”.

[metmom]

Exactly….

[BuffaloJack]

Why get vaccinated if it doesn’t work?

[Political Junkie Too]

So, Singapore's deaths begin shortly after Harris visits the country.

Hmmmm... 😷

Does it appear the vaccine does not work?

[chopperk]

Count will never come down when common cold cases are recorded as Covid.

[Nextrush]

Singapore has made it simple one political party with elections.

The rest of the world pretends they have multiple political parties with elections.

Singapore is more honest about how the system really works.

[StAnDeliver]

This is on Singapore for having 'locked down' right away in early 2020, preventing not just people from coming in but people from leaving.

Now that we know that EVERYONE is going to be INFECTED with COVID sooner or later, Singapore is paying a stiff price for their kleptocracy. Schadenaporefreude.

[Theoria]

Singapore has always been that way. pap forever there. No dissent.

[EEGator]

How dare you question your leaders, peasant!...

This is the proper course to take. Props to Singapore for NOT PANICKING.

[Yaelle]

Singapore: vaccines and lockdowns aren’t working. Let’s lock down tighter (groups of 2 only can meet) and give boosters.

My life using logic up to this point doesn’t allow me to understand this.

[StAnDeliver]

"Props to Singapore for NOT PANICKING."

They panicked early. And they are paying for it NOW.

“Why get vaccinated if it doesn’t work?”
You do as you are told and you will like it.
Democrat party resolution.
