Dear Editor,

It has been more than two years since this demon virus invaded our lives. I never imagined two years of my life would be lost in limbo. I’m sick and tired of it, as I’m sure countless others are too.

The hot topic now is excess deaths: If one looks at the statistics, a strong case could be made that this spike happened at the time of the vaccine drive. Of course, more analysis needs to be done. But you can’t dismiss this possibility.

It also seems to me that whatever we do, this virus simply will not go away. Eventually, it will become just like the common flu. So it is time to move on.

Many forward-thinking countries have already opened up fully and removed all restrictions, including face masks. It is high time that Singapore does the same. It’s time to take back our lives and not live under the shadow of Covid anymore, not even a day longer.

Cheers,
Lawrence Seow
