COVID-19 Singapore and Related

11 September 2021: 555 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore; 550 locally transmitted cases, 5 imported (MOH reported on 12 September 2021)

From GISAID: Besides other Variants found in Singapore, the most prominent Variant is Delta, which we now have 4407 cases, 1340 of these new cases reported to have appeared in the past 4 weeks with 99.9 %Delta!

Interpretation of MOH’s report:

There are 555 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore today: 5 imported cases + 550 Locally Transmitted cases (they refused to report on the unlinked cases). Total number of cases until today = 71,167, should be (71,167 + 46 = 71,213) + 98,289 positive COVID-19 cases via serology tests not included yet!

When has Singapore started with Massive COVID Vaccination?

Around May 2021...

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/singapore-still-ranks-high-in-vaccination-pace-despite-supply-constraints

Since then, the number of daily cases has jumped from 7 (3 July 2021) to 573 (10 August 2021)! Yes, just over 1 month! The PAP Government has prided themselves for having vaccinated over 81% of the Population now, but see the facts yourself as the figures don’t lie: The more they get the Population  vaccinated, the more gets infected and the numbers are soaring every day! Look at this objectively: Are they vaccinating the People AGAINST the virus or FOR the virus? Now they want to shift the blame on the imported cases? Come on! The whole World knows that the Big Bullies have the FULL control of our Borders and now you see what kind of PLIGHT they have brought to the People! Wicked & unwise Big Bullies, please step aside and let us take over, whatever you do can only bring us tragedy! Looking at your “handsome or beautiful” faces made us SICK!

Dear Unwise Big Bullies, we want to repeat what many smart Singaporeans say: Don’t divert our attention with this, please explain to us why the number of COVID cases on 11 September has soared to 555 and how you are going to solve this!

As we are buddy neighbours, did they ask Malaysia to fly a helicopter into our airspace deliberately in the first place? The World can decide!
