PERSONS ABOVE 50 Y.O CAN GET 2ND BOOSTER SHOT @ VAX CENTRES

0

The Ministry of Health announced yesterday that those above 50-years-old can get their 2nd Covid-19 booster shot from 10 June onwards at any vaccination centre offering mRNA jabs.

Here is what they said

Updates on COVID-19 Vaccination

Our vaccination coverage continues to be high. 95.9% and 91.7% of our eligible population have completed their primary series and first booster vaccinations respectively. As for the second booster dose, as of 8 June 2022, 49.3% of persons aged 80 and above who are eligible have either booked an appointment or already received them. As we take further strides towards normalcy and ease our community SMMs, vaccinations and boosters become even more critical to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

We strongly urge the remaining eligible individuals, particularly our seniors who are more vulnerable to severe disease if they were to become infected by COVID-19, to come forth for their vaccination and boosters, as soon as possible. The Ministry of Health (MOH) will be mounting further efforts to increase our booster rates, and details will be announced shortly.

Facilitating Second Boosters for Medically Vulnerable persons aged 18 and above

Medically vulnerable persons are one of the groups of persons recommended by the Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination (EC19V) to receive a second booster dose.

From 1 July 2022, medically vulnerable persons with specific health conditions[1], may self-declare their health conditions to receive their second booster by walking into any Vaccination Centre, Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) and polyclinics that offer vaccinations. To facilitate their vaccination, they will no longer require a doctor’s referral to receive their second booster. Other medically vulnerable persons will continue to be able to receive the second booster by providing a referral memo from their treating doctors. More details on the template of the self-declaration form will be announced in the coming weeks via MOH’s website.

Allowing persons aged 50 to 59 to receive Second Booster

We previously announced on 22 April 2022 that persons aged 60 to 79 years will be allowed to take their second booster about five months after receiving their first booster, if they wish to. Since then, EC19V has assessed that persons aged 50 to 59 years who wish to take their second booster may also do so at about five months after their first booster. This is in view of data indicating that the risk of severe COVID-19 increases in the age group of 50 to 59 as well. This is also around the age when chronic diseases start to set in. Hence from 10 June 2022, persons aged 50 years and above who wish to receive their second booster may do so by walking into any Vaccination Centre offering mRNA vaccines.

Recommended interval between primary series vaccination doses

The current minimum interval between the first two doses will continue to be 21 days for the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Novavax/Nuvaxovid vaccines and 28 days for Moderna/Spikevax and Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccines. This helped to expedite early protection against COVID-19 during the acute phase of the pandemic. Recent international data has shown that a wider gap of eight weeks between the initial two doses of COVID-19 primary series vaccinations may provide better vaccine protection for individuals. We encourage individuals who are taking their primary series to book their first two doses eight weeks apart. But those who need to complete their primary series sooner, particularly those who are at risk of exposure to COVID-19 or more susceptible to severe disease, may opt for a shorter interval between the two doses as long as it is not below the minimum interval.

Private Vaccination Programme Extended to All

We previously announced that Short-Term Visitors to Singapore aged 18 years and above could receive paid Moderna/Spikevax vaccinations and boosters under the Private Vaccination Programme (PVP). We will now extend the PVP to all individuals in Singapore who are aged 18 and above, including local residents. This will allow individuals who wish to take additional vaccine doses, but who do not qualify under the National Vaccination Programme, to do so based on a doctor’s assessment. Please refer to vaccine.gov.sg for the updated list of PVP providers. As this is a private arrangement, the vaccinations under the PVP will be at the individual’s own cost.

S’PORE NIGHTCLUBS NO LONGER REQUIRE NEGATIVE ART TESTS FROM 14 JUNE

0

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a press release that negative ART tests will no longer be required to enter nightclubs, and capacity limits at nightlife establishments will be lifted, among others.

Here is MOH’s statement

Our local epidemic situation has been stable over the past month, despite having stood down most of our Safe Management Measures (SMMs) and the opening up of our borders. The daily average local case count is around 3,000 per day, the average number of COVID-19 related hospitalisation has stayed lower than 300 (compared to a peak of around 1,700 during the Omicron wave), and COVID-19 related Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients are in the single digits.

However, we must continue to stay vigilant against the risk of a new wave of cases, as immunity in our population wanes in the coming months and new variants may emerge. As such, we will keep the requirement for indoor masking. We also strongly urge eligible individuals who have not received their primary series and booster vaccinations to do so quickly, so as to protect themselves from the risk of severe illness should a new infection wave emerge in the next couple of months. As we progressively return to normalcy and learn to live with COVID-19, we will also begin to scale back the pandemic subsidy provisions for COVID-19-related treatments.

Updates on Community SMMs

Mask-Wearing

Since 26 April 2022, we have removed most of the SMMs 1-5, except for the indoor masking requirement which will be retained as a key line of defence against community transmission. (Refer to Annex A for overview of SMMs 1-5.)

Nightlife Establishments

From 14 June 2022, nightlife establishments with dancing among patrons will no longer be subjected to a capacity limit, and patrons will not need to obtain a negative Antigen Rapid Test (ART) result to enter the venue. This will rationalise the rules for night spots with other social settings. However, Vaccination-Differentiated SMMs (VDS) will continue to apply, and operators will still be required to conduct VDS checks to ensure that only fully-vaccinated persons enter these settings. Random checks may be conducted by enforcement officers to ensure that operators comply with the requirement for VDS checks.

Transition from Exit Pass Requirement to New Popular Places Pass for Migrant Workers Residing in Dormitories

From 24 June 2022, migrant workers (MWs) residing in dormitories will no longer need an exit pass to visit community areas. To manage crowding at popular places, we will introduce a new mechanism to manage the high footfall at four locations – Chinatown, Geylang Serai, Jurong East and Little India. If an MW wishes to visit one of these popular locations during Sundays and public holidays, he will have to apply for a visit pass. Up to 80,000 such passes will be made available in total per Sunday or public holiday. For a start there will be 30,000 passes for Little India, 20,000 for Jurong East, and 15,000 for each of the remaining two locations. No passes will be needed if MWs are visiting community areas including popular places on weekdays, Saturdays or non-public holidays, or if they are visiting other locations in Singapore on Sundays and public holidays.

GIRL LIKED GUY FOR 5 YEARS & DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, NOW TOO LATE

0

I wasted five years of my life not making move on the person I like. Damn me.

Today was my last day of school. I will see them for the final exam and probably some party sometimes, but later on, I will never see them on a daily basis. Ever.

They were the first one to talk to me on the first day and the last one I said bye today. It feels like it’s been a month, but it was five years.

Five years of me trying to find the courage to go and talk to them. They have been right there for five years, everyday.

Damn me, damn my anxiety and my insecurities, I swear on God that next time I will go for it the very first second. I am so angry at myself right now.

How many hours did we spend in the SAME ROOM everyday? Why didn’t I do more?

Guys, if there’s a person you like, go for it. Screw what you think might happen. They’re not gonna kill you for it.

She added that her table, shelf and wooden floor were all burnt in the incident, where she put out the fire herself.

Red Massage Gun product bought from online Lazada platform caught fire and burnt after charging – including my table, shelf and Wood floor (See picture).

It could have burnt the whole house, luckily I was there to put out the fire fast. This is a serious matter and totally unacceptable. See pictures for aftermath of the incident.

This is really dangerous and I hope everyone takes note and be very careful when it comes to buying electronic items.

There is even danger signs of fire danger. This product really seems dangerous. Do not use.

Bought from Lazada but it seems my review was taken down (?) I can’t find my review as it says review has expired.

Asked Lazada Support for help on compensation for the damage but they ignored my question and just asked me to ask for.refund.

Note:

– Seller did process a refund for the item however the damage was already done.

CHEATING MUM BRINGS GUY HOME WHEN SON & HUSBAND NOT HOME

0

I’m (18M) about to blow my mom’s whole affair wide open tomorrow

Ive known about it for almost a week getting all the evidence I need to show it all to my dad. All because she thought she was slick going online to talk about her secret life.

When she was letting me use her phone I saw her tabs and got curious. It’s not right to snoop but now I’m glad I did. She’s been posting on an adultery page for like 2 years.

Took a pic of her phone with the tab open showing her account. Including the messages she was sending. And then went back later to look thru the rest of her posts.

Whole thing made me sick. Talking about the days neither me or my dad are home so she met up with “him.” Freely talking to other cheaters like their affair is some fairytale romance shit

It’s OVER. I’ve got everything I need. You going on about how locked down your “OPSEC” is yet telling on yourself all over the internet.

If you read this mom I hope you’re shitting yourself. Hope the fear keeps you up all night because tmrw im exposing all your lies to my dad and there won’t be any way you can deny it. He deserves someone better than you.

Hope it was worth blowing your marriage over and losing your only son for life.

MAN ASKS FOR 1 ON 1 @ COFFEESHOP, CHALLENGE MAN TO FIGHT HIM

A video emerged online showing a man going around a coffeeshop and challenging other people to a fight.

The netizen who took the video, said that (he) is the reason why coffeeshops are so rowdy, as the man was seen in the video standing in front of another customer’s table and challenging them to a fight.

The man was also seen with his mask pulled down below his mouth.

He said that the man first approached him for a fight, he then stared at the man and asked him to stand down.

The man purportedly proceeded to become a public nuisance to the other coffeeshop patrons.

The netizen said that the man appeared to be disoriented and that he thinks that he isn’t well, as he saw him taking a bag of medication with him.

The man was seen challenging another man for a “one to one”, with many of the patrons asking him to go away, as a fight almost broke out when the confrontation escalated.

The netizen revealed that the police eventually came.

BF HAS A FRAMED PHOTO OF HIM AND EX-GF DISPLAYED, GIRL JEALOUS & BREAKS UP

0

My boyfriend has a picture frame of him and his ex displayed.

Me (23f) and him (23m) have been together almost 10 months. Im gonna be honest, it has been rocky. At the beginning, he kind of gave off the vibe that he isn’t over his ex. He told me im the second most beautiful girl. First being his ex. Listen, it hurt. We had a whole ass break up. Not over that, really. But i guess because he wouldn’t comunicate with me and whenever i would want to talk about stuff like this he would shut down and start all this “i know im the worst ever, you deserve better, just break up with me”. I told him thats manipulative, he got all offended over me calling him that and broke up with me

He later did some soul searching, we got back together, apologized to one another, things were great. He told me he had realized that im the one for him, he doesn’t care about her anymore. He wants to be with me. I thought, great! Thats all i wanted to hear.

Now we usually hang out and stay over a couple times a week at his place. I live with a roommate, he lives alone, so its just better that way. If we’re staying together when its a work day the next day, the set up is usually that he will leave about 2hrs before me and i will sleep in a bit and leave later as his place is closer to my work. On those kind of mornings i sometimes snoop around. He knows this well, he makes jokes about it, i have asked permission to do this. Idk if its snooping around his place, i will generally just look at stuff thats around his apartments 😀 Not every time, maybe like 3-4 times in the last 10 months. He will sometimes ask me “found anything interesting?”

So i don’t know how i haven’t noticed this before, but by his computer desk there’s this cabinet on the wall with glass doors. Its pretty small. The second cabinet is pretty much empty, theres one picture frame and just some knick knacks. Idk how i didn’t notice, but theres also another picture frame that has a paper towel covering it, so you can’t see whats in the picture. A couple of days ago i finally noticed it and inside it theres a picture of my bf with his ex gf. Its a very coupl-y photo, like i couldn’t even look at it for more then a second. Just made me uncomfortable.

Listen guys, i felt so sad. I thought that girl held no weight anymore in our relationship. He dated her like 2 years before me, only for like 8 months. We have been together longer. I know this was a petty and not mature thing to do, but i wrote “i will not be coming back until this is gone. <3” and signed my name on the tissue.

Anyways, that was 2 days ago. My boyfriend only today noticed it and texted me “i guess you won’t be coming here anymore”. And just, idk what to do. It seems so weird for me to have that. Its like he’s still in love with her. Hell, he told me he will probably never say “i love you” to me because that girl broke his hart that much and this just adds to my heartbreak. I don’t know if he is worth all this trouble. I know i love him. But im just not sure he loves me and it breaks my heart.

What do i do here?

GIRL PRIORITISE MALE FRIEND INSTEAD OF BF, EXPECTS HIM TO NOT BE JEALOUS

0

So me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years and a half. We’ve had our ups and downs but over all it’s been a good relationship.

So I have a spam account where I post memes and just random parts of my day and stuff like that. I’m very selective about who follows my spam account and this is very crucial later in the story.I also have a very close male friend, let’s call him John, whom I know for over 4 years now.

We’ve been very close but NEVER in a physical way nor have we ever seen each other as more than friends. He literally talks to me about the girls he’s seeing and asks me for advice AND hits on my girlfriends. I just cannot stress enough that we’re nothing more than best friends.

Now my boyfriend isn’t really fond of him. I’m not sure why but he can’t stand him and he always gets mad at me when I hang out with John.Anyway, so one day I decided to accept John in my spam account. It’s like the third time I do this since all the other times I’ve done it my bf gets mad and demands I remove him.

He’s like that with any guy I accept in my spam actually (the only boys that are following me there are my bf, a cousin of mine and another close friend I’ve had since middle school). So as I said I’m very selective about who follows me and I only have the closest friends follow me there.

Now when my bf saw that I had accepted John again he was furious. He called me and started screaming and wanted me to remove John again. I told him that it’s my account and I understood that maybe he didn’t like John but he needs to realize that he’s my friend and whether he likes it or not I trust him enough to allow him to see what I post privately. He then hung up the phone. Later that day I saw that he had accepted a girl who used to like him on his own spam account.

I didn’t care about that more than I cared about the fact that he did it on purpose to piss me off. In the evening I decided to call him to see if he had calmed down and he brought it up again demanding I remove John from my spam. We started fighting again when I mentioned the girl who used to like him and in the end he said he wanted me to choose between him and John. So I chose John. And now we’re kinda broken up?After that he hung up and didn’t talk to me for like two days. I called him yesterday to wish him luck on an upcoming exam but other than that he hasn’t spoken to me. I removed him from my spam and also unfollowed his. I don’t know if I’m in the wrong because tbh whenever I accepted John he got mad so maybe I shouldn’t have, knowing it would get him mad but then again John is a very close friend of mine who I can talk to about anything and I feel I can trust him enough to see a part of me that not everyone sees. And I hate the fact that my bf never tries to listen to me but just gets mad and demands stuff from me without listening to me first.

So am I the wrong for choosing my friend over my boyfriend? I know the topic we fought over is really dumb and childish but I can’t decide if I’m in the wrong here ://

GIRL CHEATED BY DUCK AT BOYS CLUB, TRYING TO GET HER MONEY BACK

0

i all,
i just wanna share that i’ve been going to boys club,and manage to one of the guy who work there, slowly i realize that i’ve fall in love with him.

and slowly, he start borrowing money and each time the amount raises .

till i’m almost dry, i asked him for the repayment and then i start to see his another side. he will always tell me he hasn’t get his pay yet or not enough to cover this and that.

i just wanna ask ladies out there, have this happen to u? and what are the option i can do to get this money back from him ?

Here are what netizens think:

  • he satisfy your lust for money, he is not in love with you. period
  • Decent guys will not ask money from girls. I am so sorry for your experience. Move on if you can
  • this is like what guys experience in thai disco, treat it as a lesson and move on..
  • Poor meimei, most likely, he will not return you back the money, unless you make him signed an IOU, which I think you didn’t. I seriously hope money’s the only thing you lost, and not anything else.
  • Please be careful next time and do not loan cash to any other guys anymore. Its not only guys that you should be aware of. Even close friends or relatives will betray you and avoid you like the plague after they’ve got your cash.
  • And also do not be a kind soul and act as a guarantor for anyone.
  • Normal lah…I know 1 female celebrity Kenna con of 1 brand new iPhone, then the Thai boy totaly ignore her

DAD TEACHES DAUGHTER SHE’S WORTH NOTHING IF SHE’S NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE

0

A father said to his daughter, “You just graduated, this is a car I bought a while ago… It is a few years old. But before I give it, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it , see how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father and said: “They offered 1000 euros because it looks very old”

The father said: Hold it and take it to the 2nd hand car dealer.

The girl returns to her father and says: “The pawn shop offered 100 euros because it is a very old car and lots of investments are needed to drive it again”

The father asked his daughter to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car.

The girl drove the car to the passionate car club, turned and said to her father: “Some people in the club offered me 100,000 euros because it is a rare car that is in good condition, with great capabilities and super difficult to find.”

Then the father said, “I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place.”

If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. “Don’t stay in a place where no one sees your value.
