Maybe Singapore doesn't care anymore? Or they have enough IC capacity.
Dude, are you serious with this kind of questioning right now? The situation in Hong Kong is being treated as a more serious situation because it is getting serious since the number of cases has increased ten fold compared to how and where it was months prior. Considering that there's a strong geopolitical component with anything and everything that happens in Hong Kong whatever sort of issue arising there would be spun and smeared by the western presstitutes negatively because it must. You couple that with a still disgruntled sizable factions that HATE CHINA, HATE THE CURRENT HK GOVERNMENT and are more than willing to literally destroy the city to gain their unicorns and show the world how HK is being MISMANAGED by HK authority and by extension the CPC.
More importantly, if you have been following the news in HK, there were a bunch of patients that were literally parked outside the hospitals due to the hospitals being overwhelmed with Covid-19 cases a scene I am pretty sure that's not being seen or ever happened in Singapore. Plus, Singapore believe it or not has a far stricter media environment/landscape lest we forget. Singapore is seen as authoritarian democracy which is a misnomer. But you and I must understand wether the cases in Hong Kong is under 1000 or 500 cases per day that's still too high for the Central government to accept because the way it sees Hong Kong people is no different than how it sees the people in the mainland they are part of the Chinese family.
>95% of people of every age group above 12 years old have taken 2 vaccine shots in Singapore.
Hong Kong?
<75% of 60-69
<60% of 70-79
<30% of 80+
Assuming the same amount of people get infected in SG and HK...
We're talking about easily 5x the deaths in just the last 3 age groups alone.
And that's only the unvaccinated. Not the people who die from only 1 dose or before the 2nd dose gives better protection.
Adding to this, vaccines also reduce hospitalization rates by something like 80%.
A 95% vs 75% vaccination rate would mean 50% less people needing hospital care.
That's assuming equal vaccine coverage between age groups. It's true for Singapore, but not for Hong Kong.
Then you add the fact death rates from covid go up drastically when hospitals run out of capacity like we saw in Europe and America.
So that's why you're going to see masses of elderly people dying in beds outside Hong Kong hospitals every day until the Omicron wave subsides.

This guy does not know that China's Zero-COVID policy works well as the Winter Olympic demonstrates and the Pfizer vaccine is not very effective against Omicron? No wonder so many people died in the US as he served as a member of Biden's COVID transition team. Anyway, Omicron will probably only cause mild disease because about 90% of the population in China has already been fully vaccinated. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong for the Chinese policy makers to prepare for the worst. This is rabid China-bashing.
