Looks like past the point of no return....even though is "only the milder omicron"
Not expecting the healthcare system to take it as well, ie even more deaths.
edit - wtf, 150k peak forecasted? :s14: That means several hundreds RIP daily.

Just gotta hang on for the ride.

HK and SG are proving the vaccine doubters and the real experts right. After high rate of vaccination, the new variants will clean sweep in vaccine breakthrough.

Flu season, cold weather, hospital capacity, vax rate. All play a part.

The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (February 26) announced the latest epidemic situation of COVID-19. As of 0.00am, February 26, the CHP was investigating 5 500 additional confirmed cases, 2 268 additional asymptomatic cases and 9 295 cases with pending case status in the past 24 hours (i.e. there were 17 063 additional cases that tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in those 24 hours).

Why is their death rate so high? Singapore death per day is only single digits despite reporting 20k infection. There was once it hit 12 and it literally became headlines.

Because this is their first wave.. up to before this wave.. they had about 200 death... Now total death shoot up to 500+ where as SG already had 900+ death.. another reason could be they got more people with underlying conditions..
