1/2 Singapore appears to have sustained community transmission of #coronavirus and may be 3-4 weeks ahead of what could unfold in U.S. Both nations should have similar number of imported cases, but Singapore density will make spread manifest more quickly.

Singapore has sustained community transmission despite most capable government on planet, best healthcare system on planet, and warm weather (high 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit this week).

I guess we could place bets on who is correct.
Except, like Hong Kong during the SARS epidemic, Singapore has a LOT of air conditioning. Indoors temps are in the 70’s with low humidity.
So it needs to be warm outside AND inside. Like in the poor countries in SE Asia.

Anhyone else read that the test kits are faulty and samples are now having to go to CDC?
