(Bloomberg) — A global travel divide is deepening as some countries ditch Covid-19 restrictions including quarantines, isolation and even mandatory testing for good, while others cling to years-old curbs.

Lingering barriers to travel in Asia in particular are isolating the region and its tourism-reliant economies, just as the recovery in Europe and the US accelerates. In the UK., authorities are dumping unpopular pre-flight tests and now only require proof of vaccination as they strive to normalise international air traffic.

Other countries have roadmaps and their leaders have foresight

Yankees, European go skiing and Oz go to the beach, while Singaporeans locked @  home playing Snakes and ladders with their kids.

Who's fault?

Health  Minister Ong Ye Kung frightened everyone with his proposal of possible yearly vaccinations.

He’s wrong, these Angmoh countries have no foresight at all, Australia copies everything from Spore such as TraceTogether and 3 doses of vaccines. Now they can’t stand the lockdowns and restrictions, throw away masks and go out drinking and partying….let them get infected and die lor, let TS follow them and die together lah.

Are you wearing a mask when you go out? Have you travelled overseas in the past 2 years? When are you coming back Spore?

Invitation is to Spore, so PM Lee sent her to Beijing to attend opening ceremony.
