What? You have not been following the news. Singapore has had a huge bounce back infection rate. The 'rose is off the bloom' for the Singapore solution. It turns out, controlling an epidemic is easy when you kick the entire working class out of your country.

"Chan said officials could have moved people out of the housing earlier, but he doesn't think it would have made a difference in transmission. He pointed out that Singapore, with a population of 5.7 million people, is an extremely dense city, "and dense cities have a problem dealing with epidemics, with pandemics."

Chan Heng Chee, Singapore's ambassador-at-large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told CNBC on Friday that the country "knew that the foreign workers would be a stress point" in its fight against the global pandemic.

Singapore reported about 1,000 cases of COVID-19 at the start of the month, but that number has skyrocketed. Health officials now report more than 12,075 cases of the virus and 12 deaths. While Friday's new case count is high, it is the first time Singapore has reported fewer than 1,000 new daily cases in about a week.

Be careful taking old talking points and recycling them into your weird densification arguments.[/quote]
