Singapore, the tiny, wealthy, efficient Southeast Asian nation with world-class medical care, has always been known for its objective readings of facts and practical, proportionate responses.
So, in concluding that COVID probably isn't ever going to go away entirely, the island state has decided to put the virus into the same category as other infectious diseases, such as malaria and the flu. They'll remain vigilant against such diseases and on the top with treatment, but they will not shut down the entire country in a disproportionate response to the problem.
According to the Sun:
SINGAPORE could become one of the first countries to stop recording daily Covid case numbers in a bid to get life back to normal by treating the virus "like the flu".
The south-east Asian country has recorded just 36 deaths since the start of the pandemic by implementing draconian rules to curb the infection rate, and officials now want to ditch measures such as counting infection numbers each day.
This is pretty refreshing, given that COVID is now accounting for very few deaths worldwide, and vaccines and treatments are widely available. Seems there's no Dr. Fauci on hand over there to politicize the matter in a bid to get the sitting president out of office, or else to keep another one in. There's just medicine, tempered with a careful balancing of costs and benefits.
It all would make sense because Singapore is a nation that has been dealing with tropical infectious diseases for decades. Having lived there, I know there's malaria, dengue fever, conjunctivitis, river blindness, and a scary array of vertigo-like illnesses such as neuritis and Meniere's disease among many others. These diseases need attention if you get them.

Interesting tidbit right there. It's almost as if previously they had been counting people who died with COVID as dying from COVID.
Singapore, one of colonialist Britannias successes.

So was Hong Kong until the Commies took over....
COVID was a lie from the beginning. FU to the COVID sycophants who say I am saying it’s not real. If one can’t say that if we had to go through this all again, we should do it differently,then they are brainwashed. Watching America die in front of our eyes by the liberal and global political virus is the real threat.
Very decent, sane, rational, down to earth people...and they cane the living shit out of obnoxious miscreants!😀
