Reporting these as total infections/deaths, rather than on a per capita basis, makes them largely meaningless.
Comparing Singapore to the US is approximately like comparing Minnesota to the US as a whole.
What was interesting in the Singapore study to me is that viral transmission can occur 1 to 3 days prior to the onset of symptoms AND, talking/singing can be a transmission vector.
I told my wife to keep quiet from this point forward. Small blessing.
