SINGAPORE: Singapore reported 741 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on
Thursday (May 7), including two healthcare workers and two quarantine
order officers.
There are now 20,939 COVID-19 cases in the
country. The vast majority of the new cases are work permit holders
residing in foreign worker dormitories, said the Ministry of Health
(MOH) in its daily update of preliminary figures.
Seven of the new cases were cases in the community, of which five are
Singaporeans or permanent residents, and two are work pass holders.
The death rate is still low, though:
Twenty people have died of the disease in Singapore.
It's a very puzzling disease, isn't it?

if death rate is low then the problem dissipates
death rate is low because it's mostly young and healthy migrant workers getting the disease
Not really that puzzling. Viruses are by their nature weak. They cannot make sophisticated poisons. All they can really do is reproduce. But in fighting them off we deplete those nutrients that we use to fight them off. Once you are depleted of one or more of those nutrients then your are susceptible to the virus. If you follow that model then there is no mystery. Where is the mystery? Viruses can only really destroy you if you are thrown into some sort of vicious cycle. Thats partly to do with your circumstances.
Thats viruses in general. But since this virus is a deliberately spread bioweapon things are a little different. This one is so fast it can reinfect even people who already have antibodies. Which makes a vaccine useless and completely idiotic.
Free gift to Steve. In a limited way you could use this for the global warming racket. Since Zach reckons private cars should be taken out of the picture during flu season. His reasoning is a little esoteric. But it does involve carbon in the air. Any good global warming fraudster worth his salt ought to be able to get something out of this.
Quite apart from this there is a lot of interesting perspectives on Covid here.
