BREAKING:

PM says Govt seeking to do away with border closure in next 4-6 weeks with controls.

[elec2020]

[K74T]

Controlled not a free for all

[elec2020]

? open back up borders? Risky move. It seems like the move is just to bail out caribbean airlines.

could be to mask the SEA spread

[Mmoney607]

Congratulations to T&t we open back the borders after 16 months!

[Country_Bookie]

When do these J&J vaccines expire? 800k is a lot for us to administer. We will need time to give those out.

give permission for pharmacies to do it, and private healthcare.

yup, follow the American model or maybe even just allow GPs to distribute it.

Agreed. Also get all the chambers of commerce on board to have vaccines given out at workplaces.

The Coast Guard is a glorified Boys Scout group that claims to do 1000 hours of patrolling in a week. How do you expect the borders to be secured?

On a serious note, if a Coast Guard doesn't go with the flow in terms of orders to let certain vessels pass, they stand the risk of being permanently silenced by their colleagues.

walk-in first come/first served

NO MORE APPOINTMENT SYSTEM!

Supposedly the NCD criteria is going to be enforced

[pugboy]

sound like the vaccines already en route

[De Dragon]

Did they announce any other vaccines?

[paid_influencer]

Did they announce any other vaccines?

just
-sinopharm en route. at least 100,000 doses (50,000 vaccines) arrive next thursday
-j&j 800,000 doses (800,000 vaccines) in August, hopefully
-no details on the US donation, but don't expect too much because it has to be shared with LATAM.

[pugboy]

wonder if folks will wait until august for a non chinese jab

[sMASH]

Congratulations to T&t we open back the borders after 16 months!

u does congratulate someone for finishing a prison sentence for murder?

[hover11]

From the approach it seems like if you want to operate you need to vaccinate, employers gonna harshly persuade employees to take the jab so it may not be a choice in the matter

wonder if folks will wait until august for a non chinese jab

[paid_influencer]

wonder if folks will wait until august for a non chinese jab

might not have a choice. current criteria is 60+ or with a NCD. supposedly it will be enforced, so a portion of the population waiting until august in any case

J&J vaccine has also been linked to blood clotting and had been temporarily suspended in the US by the CDC. It is not recommended for women under 50 because of the blood clotting risk. I am all for the vaccines but people need to do their own research as well to know which one is acceptable to take...

Ban has been lifted

[MaxPower]
