• Yes, the Singapore government response to Covid-19 has been effective. They’ve had 11 deaths.

  • I politely disagree- it’s been effective otherwise but we’re now going to be shutdown for two months. I’d say Taiwan, HK and to South Korea (if it wasn’t for some religious morons) are far better examples.

  • The spike in cases detected is also looking ominous given the deaths usually follow 12-18 days behind.

  • Those (with the exception of HK) were the other countries mentioned.

    Singapore managed to introduce some airport filtering of possible cases early in the year. The UK never even managed a poor version of that, so it’s relative.

    I suggest Singapore’s two months lockdown and likely double digit deaths suggest better coping with the virus than months more warning, two months lockdown and five digit deaths.

    That’s looking in from outside though, so I’ll defer to your judgment.
