What can do? Peoples masks down in buses and keep talking, peoples in buses and trains keep coughing and sneezing, are they well, I don't think so. If counting ART +ve from clinic, sure 15000+ a day very soon...

Means previously all numbers didn't included the Protocol 2 cases for months

Bozos at MOH playing with numbers.

So the numbers has never be truth since day 1...goal post keep changing? Why?

So to scare people to take booster shots?

Its medical evidence Omicron will only affect more on the 150,000 unvaccinated , as for vaccinated parties , will be just mild , my sister in law got it , 4 days all negative

Whatever it takes so that c*y can carry on.....

Sometimes telling u virus is mild & “live with it”, but when wants u to vaccinate, will 360 flip & start pumping up infected numbers to fearmonger. Contradiction. 🤯

This shows that they can change to suit how they want it to be. Think about it.

The US were right to have classified the number of cases in Singapore as unknown 😅

Really 'unknown '😂😂😂
