> Singapore's resurgence is pretty unavoidable, there's simply nowhere else for these foreign workers to go. Despite the case numbers deaths are remarkably low, basically all of these dorms are getting tested leading to resurgence in case numbers, it's tens of thousands of people. > So despite all the socio-political criticisms in your post how about addressing the quoted comment? > They are far lower death rates, it's undeniable. Singapore has had 11 deaths. Malaysia 90. South Korea and Japan ~230. The deaths lag behind the newly-identified infections. Singapore's resurgence now won't translate into more deaths for a 5-15 days. Japan's probably in the same situation - aging population and all. The article I linked to, warning of a "collapse" in Japan's healthcare system, doesn't inspire a lot of hope for the immediate future. I didn't say anything about South Korea or Malaysia, seems like they've done a good job so far. I'm not saying all his examples are wrong, just that he's cherry-picking. Anyway the article has nothing really to do with South Korea or Singapore or Malaysia - Malaysia is not even mentioned! He could have mentioned them, if they're doing well and the article was actually about Asian leadership in the crisis and it's after effects, and not just more speculation about China's possible political intentions.
