本地昨日(9日)新增175名确诊患者,其中三起入境病例与一名社区病例。该三起入境包括一名22岁本地男子,在7月25日从印度返新;而另两名则分别为31岁和36岁的印度籍工作证持有者,于7月26日抵达新加坡。 三人在入境后即接受居家通知,当时皆无症状,均在隔离期间被检测出来。 此外,昨日唯一一例社区病例则为57岁本地女子,因持久性急性呼吸道感染而求医,目前仍与其他病例无关。 至于患者曾到访地点,根据卫生部文告指出,并没有任何新增社区病例曾到访地点。 昨日也有332人出院或离开社区隔离措施,康复人数则达到4万8915人,6027人正接受社区隔离设施,135人住院,无人在加护病房,死亡人数则维持在27人。
建国总理李光耀女儿李玮玲分享,她被诊断患有“进行性核上麻痹”( progressive supranuclear palsy)。 这是一种相当麻烦的脑部疾病,类似于帕金森症,会减缓身体的运动、损害眼球活动和平衡、也可能造成常跌倒,再来就是吞食的困难、窒息、肺炎甚至于死亡等。 若病情进一步发展,还可能造成失智和个人行为上的变化,包括无法克制和冲动。 “对这消息,我的反应是“忍”,这字体有一把刀在心上。打从念华校以来我就学习“忍”,意识到生活中有许多不可避免、不如意的事情。” 她期许这或许只是一场噩梦,但如今已经变得越来越真实、她的动作开始变得缓慢、也很难从床垫上起来。至于为何这病找上她,李玮玲形容,她没有问,因为显而易见的答案是“为何不是”? 幼时和管家儿子一视同仁 她叙述,出生在中产家庭、但家长不希望他们的孩子在富裕、特权下成长。自己的父亲是新加坡总理,本可住在总统府地带的大洋楼,但他们仍住在欧思礼路故居,小时候也和男管家的孩子一视同仁,一起分享他们家中的小电视机,且这种密切关系也持续许久。直到现在他们偶遇都会互相以儿时的名称互相问候。 帖文中李玮玲还忆起自己在莱佛士学院的优异表现;但也曾在皇家内科医师学会会员考试面对挫折,这也让他学到韧性的重要。 李玮玲也解释为何选择专攻儿科,原本有意读兽医但父母不同意。不过儿科和兽医两者挑战相似,就是医生面对的病人,都没办法清楚地解释他们的病情、也可能表现得不合作或难搞。 她在马萨诸塞州综合医院培训后归国,不过儿科部没需要她,结果转到了陈笃生医院的神经内科,结果她便是唯一的儿科神经医生。后来她也专研小儿癫痫,从而胜任这方面的工作。 “随后,我又获得了卫生部奖学金,并在多伦多医院待了一年,以及在梅奥诊所和克利夫兰诊所待了数月。” 当然奖学金是要履行合约服务的,为此李玮玲总共回馈服务了15至17年。 “总而言之,我享受我作为神经科医生和癫痫专家服务的日子。”
