Of those three, Singapore looked to have a solid grasp on it for a good month or so, but a recent unexpected spike in cases has triggered a nationwide lockdown starting yesterday for 30 days. Heat and humidity probably doesn't help as much as some would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we all shelter in AC from June to mid Sept, wonder what will happen to transmission rates here. I foresee wearing a mask to shop at least until fall.

Im still hoping to head home the first of May. I have all my storage plans lined out for all the crap Ive accumulated these last 3 years. April has been incredible here so far. Mid to low 80’s every day and 60 at night. It doesn't get much better than this. Looks like we may hit 90 one day next week some time. Its still getting down into the low 40’s just 60 miles from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
