Agreed. Singapore has world class healthcare and are very likely to be transparent with the data.

8 critical / 50 cases with “no discernible pattern” who was critical and “some likely not to survive” was very sobering yesterday.
7 critical / 58 cases today.

reading behind the lines, it seems they are expecting some non-survivors even with plenty of ICU capacity.

If the numbers increase significantly and the system gets overwhelmed, then it could be like Wuhan.


I am struck that China is critical of international quarantine measures, while China internally has employed extreme measures not seen for 500 years (and even with Black Plague, the quarantining of cities was obviously on a much smaller scale).
