Of vaccinated people in Singapore who caught the virus from May 1 to Sept. 16, only 0.09% of them had to go into intensive care or died. Of infected unvaccinated people aged 80 or older, 15% of them had to be treated in intensive care or died. Only 1.79% of the vaccinated in that age group needed intensive care or died. The number of patients requiring oxygen support or intensive care jumped more than five-fold this month to 146, including 18 in ICU. Singapore has about 100 ICU beds for COVID-19 patients, and it can increase that to nearly 300 at short notice.
