All of them started late but Germany seems to be on top of the situation. Singapore and Taiwan are much closer to them then the US.

  I don't know, it looks like Singapore has missed a step somewhere. Adjusted for population and looking at the curves logarithmically, they're not doing so well.

    Population adjustment doesnt make much sense imho. Until you have a significant fraction of exposed population the dynamics will be the same.

    The majority of the new cases in Singapore are in foreign labourer dormitories, so maybe the missed step was not putting enough effort into improving conditions in those dormitories? They put a lot of effort into contact tracing and the like, but that doesn't help much when you have a bunch of people who live together in (presumably) crowded quarters, who are unable to isolate themselves.
