Singapore’s always been quick to apply the stick over the carrot. Let’s see how far it carries them this time.
Another celebriot running for office.
If only we could harness the power of stupidity somehow, there’d never be an energy crisis.

Follow up…it looks like infected folks are spreading it to Mexico.
Just as we feared, but not surprising. Lots of places viewed as vacation or resort destinations have been invaded by covidiots who want to ignore the pandemic and “have fun.”
A tough job, in Tuskegee Alabama.
Michigan is going through the roof. Probably because our local Facebook pages and freinds and family are putting a football player above doctors.
When we got our booster yesterday I asked the pharmacist about kids, he said the rest of the day’s appointments were filled with kids every 10 minutes. That’s encouraging.
Can we say that, at this point, OANN and NewsMax have shown themselves to be enemy agents and a threat to the national well being?
If I understand the article it’s still the unvaccinated driving the high hospitalizations.
I wish they would be clear about that in the first paragraph.
And to stop talking about building up natural immunity with earlier infections. It’s in every article about some place that did well earlier in the pandemic and is spiking later. Like… If only there was a way to build immunity across a large population very quickly.
80% vaccination coverage among 12-and-overs
The Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) announced on Wednesday that Finland has finally achieved 80 percent double-dose vaccination coverage for those aged 12 years and over. The figure had remained at 79.9 percent since Sunday.
In total, more than eight million doses of Covid vaccine have been administered in Finland since December 2020. More than 85 percent of those aged 12 and over have received at least their first dose.
All age groups over 45 in have more than 80 percent vaccination coverage for the second dose.
“Recently we have seen that vaccination coverage of young people has risen encouragingly. Indeed, those aged 16-24 have exceeded 80 percent vaccination coverage for the first dose,” said Mia Kontio, a chief specialist at THL.
A third booster vaccine is currently being offered to those in risk groups, with 2.3 percent of the population aged 12 and over have received three jabs.
And more to thank covid-19 for, damn it:
And again, nearly completely preventable.
