Quote:Prof Tambyah added: "I think that we will be able to accept around 100 to 200 deaths a year which would be an improvement from the more than 500 deaths a year we used to see with influenza."
I think this is the key implication that many people (esp the unvaccinated) have not realised. One death every other day from Covid if we reopen.

THE ONLY EXIT STRATEGY IS TO HAVE ENOUGH HOSPITAL BEDS AND ICU UNITS TO COPE AND WE ARE ALL SET FOR NORMALCY.
ARE WE CAPABLE OF DOING THIS?
IF WE CANT THEN FOR HEAVENS SAKE COVID IS NOT GOING TO PANG CHANCE JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE VACCINATED.
AND WHO PREDICTED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE DEADLY VARIANT COMING?
SO IF NORMALCY IS WHAT SG MUST HAVE, THEN BE READY.
ELSE DONT EVEN BOTHER!

Exit strategy? Exit out of endemic?
Vaccinated still cannot go overseas... still need to wear masks...need annual booster?
There is no right or wrong decisions.
One only has to bear the consequences that one makes
