Things to think about in Singapore.
They have had the gold standard response.
The Singapore contact tracing has been outstanding.
Singapore has been doing “sentinel” testing, which is testing everyone at every medical contact. This has allowed them to catch “clusters” before the virus pops up on any screening.
When you are told to quarantine in Singapore, the penalty is severe and imposed.
Those things are on top of a higher outside temp.
Singapore is a small, modern, and compliant country. They are ahead of the virus. They have been since the start.
The US is none of those things.
Yep, you might as well try herding cats, than to do that in the US.
In Singapore, you also have 5 million people crammed into an island less than 300 square miles with lots of high rises and congestion. I’d say this would be a breeding ground for the virus if not for the climate.
