S'pore blinked,instead of sticking with its reopening plan, it re-impose restrictions - pinkypanther - 28-07-2021
The point of regret and reversal could come faster than expected, as the most recent spate of infections show how gun-shy the Singapore government can be. A series of linked clusters found at a fishery port and karaoke lounges resulted in local cases reaching a record high.
The outbreaks were an opportunity for Singapore to move beyond its “Covid Zero” approach. A new normal with endemic infections would require the city-state to accept a rising number of daily cases, as long as few people ended up in the hospital and the health care system wasn’t stretched. Though daily cases rose into the triple digits, two unvaccinated patients were in critical condition.
But Singapore blinked. Instead of sticking with its reopening plan, the rising number of cases that had spread into wet markets frequented by locals, particularly the elderly, prompted the government to re-impose restrictions lifted just four days earlier, such as banning dining-in.

Ultimately this boils down to politics, not what PAP wants. They may want to live together with the virus, but if more people are infected and number of deaths go up, they'll have no choice but to eat their words. Votes matter!

These blardy Bloomberg reporters. Talk as if they are expert. The opening plan is supposed to start at 80pct vaccination, not now which is only about 55pct.

Better to blink then to go blindly in wrong direction
