Singapore's 'forever pandemic' is more toxic than covid itself

submitted by OutsideFollowing from self.Singapore

I've been travelling abroad (Switzerland) recently and not a single person's wearing a mask in airports, flights, lifts, malls, anything indoor or outdoor. As soon as the plane takes off from SG all staffs drop off their masks as well as travelers. Even elderly people don't bother.

If you wear a mask in Europe people are just looking at you weirdly like you're some sort of caveman or survivalist not connected to the news or the world lol.. so you just stop thinking about wearing one very quickly.

We're clearly living in a parallel world in SG with our masks under the sun or in MRT. It's like living in middle age without any connection to science. Just pure obscurantism. The contrast is staggering with other cities. I guess tourists want to relax in holidays and SG just provides you with anxious vibes with these masks all over the city. You just get a negative value coming here.

Also, I've read this today: 'as of 1 August 2022 all entry requirements related to covid travel to Malaysia have now been removed regardless of vaccination status (still have to use MySejahtera app but it's no longer required to fill in the travel pass to verify your vaccine status)'

I understand SG knows better science than Malaysia, Australia, South Korea, Thailand or Europe which have dropped these mandates, but isn't it time to align ourselves with international standards?

It's like officials want to be in a forever pandemic with all these outdated policies and communication. It brings a toxic atmosphere to SG and I'm quite worried that these stuff are just destroying the SG brand and its attractiveness. I believe officials should take a break to travel a little bit over the world to see what's happening elsewhere and bring back a fresh new way of thinking.

There is no science behind the masks. The real science says that they are useless against covid and similar viruses. The one that is promoted by the totalitarian governments is about a test where there the difference of one person (Bangladesh). Other tests showed a slight increase in Covid cases when using masks.

The masks also restrict some oxygen. The increase the CO2 levels that can become toxic. Children have died due to this (reported in Germany).
They are full with bacteria and fungi, which is actually dangerous and responsible to killing a lot of people during the Spanish flu. And mistaken for the flu and covid too.

The natural immune system of the lungs and bronchia is hindered by the masks, as they can not do the cleaning. Additionally the virus trapping system in the bronchia is worse due to the higher moisture levels in the breath.

I can make a full analysis, but you can check with most of the OSHA experts that state the same as me. (if they are brave enough to tell how it is).

Note: In some countries you can get in trouble for stating what I am writing. So just don't bluntly tell this to everyone.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Europe, it has certainly become more relaxed throughout this year. There is a constant concern that restrictions might come back but there is also reluctance to return to those times. Hopefully measures such as masks will ease off in time worldwide.
