Year-end flu season back as doctors in Singapore see rise in respiratory infections

SINGAPORE: Flu season is back in Singapore, and doctors are seeing a rise in cases of respiratory infection - some by as much as 20 per cent.

At Fullerton Health, for instance, patient visits have gone up by 10 to 20 per cent over the last few months. Dr Lim added that the demand for medication “is always tight, but we are still getting all the medicine that we need”. “So we have sufficient buffers, in terms of medications and medical supplies to cope with any increase in influenza or COVID-19 cases.”“But we do whatever we can in terms of buffering our stock supplies, so sometimes our purchaser may source other forms or other sources of medications, and that will help to tide over the period, whereby certain brands may be in short supply,” he added.

While the quack doctors were laughing their way to the Bank, the real doctors were shut up by all the mainstream media. Deplorable.

I mean yah if you say the northern parts of the world experiencing winter now are likely to have upsurge in the seasonal flu, I agree. But we don't have winter here. So want to follow other people's advice must also be relevant.

covid or flu ?🤣

What happened to last year's flu season? Did it just disappear or something?
