Singapore yesterday reported 1,939 local infection which is the highest since the pandemic started last year.. I think the more testing is done the rate will spike. Moreover, since the vaccination rate is more than 80%, there will be more cases of infection. Just compare with HK whereby the vaccination rate is 57% and the covid number is in single digit.
The hope of SIA returning to normalcy is now in jeopardy unless something is done!
SIA has used all its $8.8 billion from the 2020 rights issue. Whatever it may be the airlines still has tons of cash to weather the pandemic "storm".....more here
Yesterday the local community Covid infection has risen over 800. Some countries are asking their citizens to avoid visiting Singapore. China has claimed that one of it's citizen who recently returned from Singapore has brought the Delta variant home and infected some people.
It looks like SIA's opportunity to start more flights has been damped by the high number of infection in Singapore. The light is dimmer now at the end of the tunnel not only for SIA but the tourist industries here.
Yes, this is a natural and best way to avoid the dreadful Covid... view here
Twenty years is a long time ago. Two whole decades have passed since 2001, and it’s easy to forget that there exists an entire generation of people who weren’t alive yet during the generation-defining disaster of the September 11 attacks.

It is quite absurd that the number of infection today has reached 349 of which 347 is local transmission. If the number keeps going up, I think the authority will call for a circuit breaker or lockdown. Why is there a spike in number when 81% of the inhabitants are fully vaccinated against Covid?
Lockdowns will cost the economy and businesses untold suffering. SIA will be out of business if this infection rate keep spiking. It's already bad in many countries. I read that UK with the population heavily vaccinated, the infection number has hit 38,000 per day. Japan is also not faring better as it recorded an average of 14,000+ a day. USA is worse at 7 day average of 152,000.
*Sigh* .....keep praying that's all we can do as we are battling an unseen enemy!
