We should really applaud Singapore Govt. here. I don't think any other place has handled the situation so well and so transparent. P.S I live in Singapore. Ask me anything
Is there anything similar for South Korea? I found something interesting about South Korea. According to Worldometers South Korea have tested a lot more people than anyone else - see https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/ Then if you look at the Country breakdown here https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ (scroll down a bit) South Korea has 5,186 confirmed cases but only 27 are listed as Ser…
If you're unrelated to the cult but want to get tested anyway, you can just show up at a drive-thru testing center (yes, that's a thing) and it will take less than 10 minutes. On-demand testing costs around $150, but it's free if you turn out to be infected or have recently been to any place where you might have picked up the virus, such as Daegu.
This system obviously picks up a lot of mild cases.
I haven't seen the 27 "Serious or Critical" figure published anywhere domestically. It might be based on an arbitrary criterion (e.g. "patient is being given oxygen") that is only used for reporting to international organizations. Meanwhile, the government has begun to move mild cases from hospitals to other facilities (where they will be quarantined) in order to make room for more severe cases that they're clearly anticipating. There have been over 30 deaths already, so it's unlikely that there are only 27 severe cases.

It was 34C in Singapore today (About 93F). No doubt the government response has been proactive, but you'd think the weather might be a factor in successful containment of the infection?
The ONLY dashboard in the world showing Age, Gender & Nationality Distribution.
https://wuhanvirus.kr/#location-card has age, sex, and location statistics for South Korea, but it's not in English.
It's a good time to show how important web accessibility is. The wording inside the HTML Canvas can't be translated.
Stay strong & safe @kijin!

I disagree. If viruses are forever associated with the locations in which they first spread, perhaps authorities might be a little sharper in controlling the spread.
You mean like the Spanish Flu? (My comment is sarcastic...)

South Korean here. We're testing literally everyone who has had any sort of contact with the cult that is at the center of the recent explosion of cases. Like, if you've been attending an art class run by members of the cult, you'll get a call. If you're unrelated to the cult but want to get tested anyway, you can just show up at a drive-thru testing center (yes, that's a thing) and it will take less than 10 minutes.…

Thanks. I found a source for the SK stats: http://ncov.mohw.go.kr/tcmBoardView.do?brdId=&brdGubun=&data... Does 격리해제 mean something like 'Serious cases?'. Google translates it as 'isolate'
격리해제 means they are no longer quarantined, i.e. they are considered to be cured.

Japan for instance has 20 times more people than Singapore, but only 3 times more cases. Epidemic started at the same time in both countries. Not saying that Singapore isn't doing a good job, but are they really doing much better than other countries?
Because of their mis-management a lot of people contracted the Virus.
It should be noted that all schools in Singapore are open along with all work places

I wonder how accurate this Wappalyzer [1] is?
I'm really curious how the weather plays an aspect here. Singapore being on the equator
The clusters that did develop expanded rapidly.
I'm gonna go with the excellent government response and tracing on this one
