My close friend contribution :-
(1) Covid19 is teaching the world many lessons. One of which is mathematics. Please see attached 6 day forecast for singapore from 12 apr to 19 apr. Given yesterday's new cases we are already heading towards the worser scenario (source : http://rocs.hu-berlin.de/corona/docs/forecast/results_by_country/). Moving forward, we heading in the direction of 4000+ to 5000+ cases by Sun, 19 apr.

(2) Note :- we are now at 3,699 - my close friend mathematical projection of 4000+ to 5000+ cases by Sun, 19 apr --- is not too far off.

PUBLISHED APR 15, 2020, 10:42 PM SGT
Record 447 new coronavirus cases in S'pore, of which 404 are linked to dormitories
"However, it added that the number of new cases among work permit holders has increased significantly from 48 cases per day in the week before this to 260 cases per day in the past week. This is in part because of efforts to undertake more active testing of the workers."

My close friend contribution :-

5 c. Aggressive interventions is key here. It may already be a forgone conclusion that there are large numbers of asymptomatic cases waiting to be discovered. Everyday that these cases are not identified, then the numbers may double. Aggressive testings is key. Devise a systematic way to segregate the infected and healthy within each block eg designate specific levels for the infected and move the healthy ones to green zone. When numbers grow bigger, designate specific blocks for the infected and move healthy ones to green zone blocks. And keep sanitizing the entire area. In effect, we are systematically converting the dorms into covid isolation and recovery centres. Should the cases develop into serious cases, then transfer them to hospitals. The idea is to minimise contact with the SC/PR group as we have good chance of seeing zero growth in that group.

My close friend: So we are really heading for 5000 this sunday.

My comment : I think you are right due to aggressive testing, we are seeing more cases coming out from dorm.
This may seem bad, but good to weed out those mild asymptomatic cases.
When all the test in dorm is over, we should see a dip in the numbers.
But hospitals will be over strain.

Good thing that community spreading is tapering down now to 43.

[2:46 pm, 16/04/2020] ☸️  Danny 心: 43 community spreading means the circuit breaker measures are working.
