Why Singapore might be having it easier to contain the virus than just about any place else.

Singapore is an island of about 280 sq.miles with relatively easy to contril boundaries. with a population just under 6 million.

Compare this to the city of Los Angeles, with an area 470 sq miles and population of about 4 million. This doesn't include the entire L.A. Metro area.

Thanks that’s a cool map. Yeah there’s obviously no way to replicate their ability to clamp it down, but they put the 4.5 billion right off the bat - whereas we put a lot less, tonight Trump announced 50 billion for small businesses which is great - but was needed 6 weeks ago for testing, which is still flailing with reports of problems with even the latest batch. I would have to chase down the articles but maybe other folks have already covered it today.
