New variants : We should be concerned...govt should reconsider VTL
#1

SYDNEY, Nov 26 (Reuters) – Stocks fell and headed for their largest weekly drop in nearly two months on Friday, while safe haven assets such as bonds and the yen rallied as a new virus variant added to swirling concerns about future growth and higher U.S. interest rates.
The variant, detected by scientists in South Africa, may be able to evade immune responses and has prompted Britain to hurriedly introduce travel restrictions on South Africa. ...
South Africa's rand fell 1% in early trade, as did U.S. crude futures . S&P 500 futures fell 0.4%, while the risk-sensitive Australian and New Zealand dollars dropped to three-month lows.
"The trigger was news of this COVID variant...and the uncertainty as to what this means," said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at National Australia Bank in Sydney. "You shoot first and ask questions later when this sort of news erupts."

There is real.risk of this spreading variant evading vaccines.

Hope govt does not ease restrictions too quickly.
..and consider the risks.

Stock indices have plunged....

Ths disease is not static.

We cannot just plan and follow.

We need to adapt as situation changes.

New variants might be here or on the way already since many foreigners can come here without quarantine.

To live with covid, we have to live with any variant.

There is no way to choose the type of variant to live with because African variant can come from any country.

the trick is to monitor when PAP will resume physical meet people session (MPS)

as long as PAP suspends physical MPS, it means it is not safe to live with covid.

if it is not safe for PAP, it will also be not safe for me.

Forget VTL....things have changed completely.

Focus now is to stop S.Afican variant.

Let's not make same mistake as we did on Delat and resulted in so many deaths in Singapore.

Lives matter.

You should ask OYK. He is paid millions to answer this question.

1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..
