A netizen wrote in to us about his day to day life working as a swabber in an undisclosed location.
“Ever since Covid-19 came into my life, I lost my job. I thought to myself pandemic ma, hard to find job. Goverment sure need people in healthcare one. So I went to learn how to swab ppl and became a swabber.
But then ah, life inside the center also not easy.
You need to wear full protective equipment and tahan the hot weather and also need to stand at least a good 7-8 hours a day.
All this still ok la to be honest, work ma no choice, its part of the job.
But got one thing I really cannot tahan already.
I don’t know why people all don’t like to clean their gold mine one. Dig only ma, don’t clear not uncomfortable meh. The most if you paiseh to dig in public then dig at home or in the toilet lor.
Knn I everyday so dulan already I put in the swab stick and korek come out sure got gold one leh. No wonder they call it gold mine la.
Then end up keep on need to redo if not the specimen not accurate.
If later the result not accurate we tell you negative then you got virus go out spread how?
So please la share with your friends and family next time before come swab test hor ownself dig the gold first la.
You all want give me gold then give me the gold chain you wearing la don’t give me this type.”

Olympic champion Joseph Schooling will be kissing his men’s 100m butterfly title goodbye after failing to qualify for the semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday, 29 July 2021.
Schooling came in last in his heats at the Tokyo Aquatic Centre, clocking a time of 53.12s.
The 100m Butterfly race is also his pet event.
Only the top 16 finishers in the heats will qualify for the semi-finals.
Previously, Schooling was the World record holder with a timing of 50.39s. He achieved this in the Rio 2016 Olympics which won him the Gold and Singapore’s first.
Schooling also lost to compatriot Quah Zheng Wen in the heats as the latter clocked 52.39s.
The latter also missed out on the semi-finals as the timing was not good enough to qualify him as well.

Minster of Health Ong Ye Kung said on 28 July that preventing Singapore’s healthcare from being overwhelmed was the reason for the return to Phase 2 (HA).
He addressed how easily our hospital system could reach its capacity because of a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases.
All it takes is five weeks for Singapore’s ICU capacity to reach it’s limit.
Hospital beds could fill up in 1 week, and the ICU in 5 weeks.
A scenario where Singapore could potentially face a collapse of our healthcare system was highlighted by Ong:
“The odds of a large surge in cases are stacked against us: We knew that when a cluster grows uncontrollably, infection numbers would double every seven to 10 days, which meant that hospital beds could fill up in a week. Beyond that, we could be overwhelmed.”
He shared how hospitals overseas were overwhelmed and their healthcare systems collapsing; and they (the overseas hospitals) had to turn away sick patients, and doctors had to decide who lives and dies.
Ong reiterated that such a human tragedy like this cannot be allowed to happen in Singapore.
He shared that authorities have opened 70 ICU beds, double from a couple of weeks ago.
There are also plans to open more beds, as hospitals have added 1,000 isolation beds, of which 80% are occupied at the moment by suspected and confirmed cases.
The government is also monitoring the ICU numbers.
At the moment, there are 2 individuals warded in ICUs in critical condition.
