OYK: But Delta did not wait for us to be ready and attacked us first - forum456 - 23-09-2021
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/government-monitoring-hospital-capacity-closely-as-covid-19-cases-remain-high-ong
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Tuesday (Sept 21) that the Government is monitoring hospital capacity closely and may have to impose more restrictions if the Covid-19 situation worsens.
Singapore already has a suite of measures in place, and to go further would be a "last resort", he added in Mandarin in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao.
Mr Ong said: "We had planned to have a preparatory period, during which we can gradually open up while handling perhaps 100 to 200 cases a day. But Delta did not wait for us to be ready and attacked us first."
"The fight against Delta is really like a war... and it can spring surprises which you never expected, so you have to be able to adapt and change strategies quickly."
He added that two factors are crucial in deciding if Singapore has reached a critical stage - the number of serious cases and hospital capacity.
And the Government has been keeping a close watch on both indicators to ensure that intensive care units and the healthcare system in general are not overwhelmed.
Asked about his assessment of the current situation, Mr Ong said that as of last week, things were still under control. But he added that the situation changes daily.
He also noted that a new balance had to be struck with the virus, and people would have to learn how to co-exist with Covid-19.
At the current stage of the pandemic, it is no longer possible, and also futile, to go into protracted lockdowns, he said, noting that infection numbers will inevitably go up again once lockdowns are lifted.

Good with words... dial back, carte Blanche, rite of passage, baptism of fire, etc but with no compassion for the old and sick.
More will die in his hands...

OYK everyday predicted we will hit 1,000 and 2,000 infections in September/October weeks ago but do nothing to cater for mass infections and now said Delta did wait for him to be ready. We already warned of hospital overloading once he started his stupid endemic model but he ignored our warnings and now bullshxt delta dun wait for him to get ready. This is the type of useless million dollar minister put in charge of MOH. He shud be sacked......

The covid-19 virus variant, delta waits for no man, it need to be arrested as soon as possible, to bring down the number of infected to a single digit.....

Honestly these bunch of leadership are different from LKY era,

Sadly he was seen as an up and coming leader, but what he said here is just simply claiming to be an oversights.
Such claims is so irresponsible for a person who held the leader position of Singaporeans and everyone’s well being or health.
And it also goes to show that our lives are not as important than having a people to roam about in the public. Why can’t he just announce a circuit breaker already?
Especially when the numbers are continuing climbing…even Taiwan news media are also reporting about our climbing numbers……

Consecutive days of over 1000 cases and he still needs to monitor before taking action?

Looks like this exam he took on has shown his judgement were bad….anyway he will not be held accountable for. Because based on our PM past experiences, he never held anyone accountable. From incidents like the MRT saga, the escape of that Mas Selamat guy from the remand centre, or the losses made by the Town councils…etc.
We just move on…I guess.
