The OKTs are nearly going bankrupt as they can`t afford to pay the high rents, some as high as $9k at places Lor 20. In a couple of months, they`d incurred at least $200k. GL is not likely to open until early 2023. Forget about this year and next year. Until major countries such as China, India, UK, etc. fix the COVID strains that have evolved, GL won`t open. Anti-vice won`t open until these countries have resolved all their third and fourth waves.

Peace out.

Lol as much as we would it happen. I doubt the government would go to such length just to reopen Geylang.

It has been a year and 1 month since our CB on Apr 2020.. and GL was closed even before the CB. And now hope for GL reopen become diminish as days go by.. or maybe become impossible. how many GL house still survive till now? Or those WL still or can survive their living till now?

With this new variant that can transmit seem via air (airborne), u still dare to go for Cheong. sometime the problem may not just due to infection.. your cheonging visit will be "exposed" to at least ur wife (if u r married) or ur family members..

Re: Anyone knows when will be the exact time that GL will be open again?
 

Actually i think it still all depends on the science data outcomes...

Prelimin findings suggest the vaccine has a very good chance of preventing infection failing which it has an excellent chance of preventing serious illness/death if infected...the latter positive outcome seems to apply to even the sinovac vaccine...

Also vaccine research is moving at a rapid pace and hence the next batch of vaccines shall probably be even bettter and so it goes on...same applies to medical therapy treatments for the virus...also in relation to testing of the virus...

Eg...look at say the latest cluster at the MINDS home...91% of residents and all staff had already been fully vaccinated by Mar/Apr...out of the 27 plus(so far) infected 24(i think) were asymptomatic and none are seriously ill...

So what can we take from the abv...the key is to vaccinate the whole population(save those not eligible due to medical reasons, this group needs to be ring fenced for protection) and keep on giving booster jabs as and when necessary as this is a fluid dynamic situation...once that is done and there is in effect a kinda herd immunity, we should be able to get back to normal...

Bottom line we need to manage and control covid like any other disease before and after...no fear it can be done...unfortunately it is taking longer than expected but we are heading in the right direction...one thing though, for those who are eligible to take the vaccine but decline for whatever reasons, this group needs to stay at home until a reasonable practical solution can be found for them or alternatively they change their minds and get vaccinated as this group cannot be allowed to be an unnecessary burden to our healthcare system...

As for GL...i wonder if there are any remaining okts left still in biz considering the huge rental loss over the last 15 months and counting save for houseowners like say Ah Hua?..

That said, the fundamental question still remains, once the dust finally settles and life returns to normal, will the Govt continue with its legalised commercial sex policy?...if so, the okts or new okts shall return like in any biz cycle...i suspect the venue may change though...

Done my second shot of moderna and the side effect really like many say siong. Advice for those going for moderna, standby paracetamol & lots of ice cold water.

Yet to go for FFI... :D

Re: Anyone knows when will be the exact time that GL will be open again?
 

I too took the Morderna vaccine buddy...wanted the earliest appointment and the Moderna centre closest to my home fit the bill..

For me, both doses also not too good side effects...nothing serious...but still very uncomfortable and unpleasant - mild fever, body aches, fatigue, restlessness, nausea...but i don't mind because now i have a certain sense of peace of mind...


Infection and transmission does not matter so long as it does not lead to serious illness and/or death...akin to say the flu...

Thank you for the rational, logical and sensible post.

It is often darkest before dawn. We might just be at the inflexion point.

There will be some OKT who survive, some who have saved in the boom boom years and some who will want to give it another shot.

The biggest variable is government policy. As long as it doesn't change there is still hope.

For our part, we can help our own cause by getting vaccinated ASAP. With the big majority of the population vaccinated we have a human bullwark against this nasty virus.

Other countries will eventually get vaccinated. Where the leadership is sensible the suffering will be less. Where the quality of leadership is less there will be more suffering.

Got the 2nd jab. Needed 2 Panadol. Not a biggie. Feels good that I have in me the best protection arising out the advancements of human science and progress.

Still need to sanitise and keep the mask on till all of us/majority are vaccinated.


Lastly,

When It was called China Virus
Did the Indian stand up and say this is not correct
Now it is the India virus
It doesn't feel so nice
There is a lesson in this for all
Stand up as humans
For humanity
