Quote:It is absolutely true that prior to the availability of vaccines, UK’s government handled Covid poorly and many died.
But one aspect of the British people that I admire is their resilience and self-sufficiency.
Just like now in Singapore, the British were told to stay at home if their symptoms were mild, and only go to the hospital when very sick.
But with their stiff-upper lip, their interpretation of “very sick’” sometimes meant they took themselves to the hospital too late. They would endure and endure, and felt embarrassed about bothering the doctors with ‘just a bit of cold’.
On the other hand in Singapore, there is this video going viral of Tan Tock Seng Hospital A&E being overwhelmed.
The person taking the video obviously isn’t in need of emergency help. A lot of young men lying on makeshift beds looking relaxed.
If we don’t change this mindset , our health services will be overwhelmed regardless of vaccination rates.
The hospital is meant for serious cases, mostly seniors who are unvaccinated, and some who are vaccinated but with co- morbidities.
Don’t be a bloody gu niang.
Don’t see how we are going to fight a real war like this.
