Commentary: Are Singaporeans Underestimating the Threat of COVID-19?
Channel News Asia ^ | 12 May 2023 | Ong Kian Chung

With COVID-19 becoming endemic, people need to exercise practical reason when deciding how best to live with the lurking presence of the virus, just like they do with dengue and influenza, says respiratory specialist Dr Ong Kian Chung.

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday (May 5) declared that COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency. For three years, Singapore, along with the rest of the world, battled a disease that has killed 6.9 million people globally. That is more than the total population of Singapore.

WHO’s lifting of the emergency alert is a sign of the progress that nations have made in containing COVID-19. Some countries, including Singapore in February, had earlier stood down their own COVID-19 measures.

However, with every fresh wave of cases - which is expected in endemic living - and fewer people keeping up to date with their COVID-19 shots, the question beckons: Are Singaporeans developing a false sense of security on COVID-19?

“that has killed 6.9 people globally”

*Perscribed Medical Missadventure

*Vehicle crashes while qualifying for being “positivity” (Term made up by cnn).-

*Any death while being positive or qualifying for “positivity”.

It is who that does the counting that counts.

--- "...fewer people keeping up to date with their COVID-19 shots...."

First "vaccine" in history that is so "effective" that one has to "keep up to date" with their shots. For some true believers of my limited acquaintance, they are on their fifth, and think this not unusual.

This is MARKETING at the minimum. om the order of Lay's potato chips' "bet you can eat but one," or Nike's "just do it."

With FIVE shots and "keeping up" as advice, this is NO VACCINE, is not effective and the whole "event" a scam of truly historic proportions. Note the article cites "a recent survey by Moderna Biotech Singapore and the Asia Pacific Immunization Coalition (APIC)...."

A "a disease that has killed 6.9 million people globally" is nothing special.

( 6,900,000 deaths in more than three years globally / 7,922,312,800 population of world ) x 100 = 0.087 percent mortality rate over 41 months, or less than one-tenth of one percent.

Re: "killed 6.9 million people globally"

Works out to 1 death per 1,160 people - or - 0.086% of Earth's 8 billion population.

And, at least half the deaths involved other serious co-morbidities.
