What South Korea did is remarkable. I hope Mr. Orange and his team learn from their experience.
They did contact tracing with existing electronic records, which are more effective than the wasteful manual recording of contract tracing details adopted under his Orange protocol.
And where are the 60 testing centers in Singapore (in proportion to the 600 testing centers in South Korea?
From New York Time:
How South Korea flattened the curve
South Korea reported its lowest number of cases since last month on Sunday — a remarkable turnaround from the several thousand cases that exploded there in late February and early March.
Its strategy was not the full lockdown that China employed, or even the widespread restrictions that the U.S. and Europe have implemented. Instead, it focused on swift, widespread testing and contact tracing, our Interpreter columnist writes.
In the week after its first reported case, South Korea moved rapidly, eventually opening 600 testing centers and keeping health workers safe by minimizing contact.
Once someone tested positive, officials meticulously traced their movements using security camera footage, credit card records, even GPS data from their cars and cellphones.

Just got this from our IT guy!!! If you know anyone using WhatsApp you might pass on this. An IT colleague has advised that a video comes out tomorrow from WhatsApp called martinelli do not open it , it hacks your phone and nothing will fix it. Spread the word.
If you receive a message to update the Whatsapp to Whatsapp Gold, do not click !!!!!
Please inform all contacts from your list not to open a video called the "Dance of the Pope". It is a virus that formats your mobile. Beware it is very dangerous. Fake news?
Why some are enjoying the 19 season?
Families are seeing more of each other.
Less spending other than food and medical. Able to save from salary.
With the closure of entertainment no drunks about. Safe for all around. Health hazards from alcohol are minimal.
People are prioritising things in life.
The government is showing a different side other than upgrade, money, good grades and materialist.
Change to a slower pace of life. Crowding and people always in a rush suddenly disappear.
Easier to find car-parks.
Home cook meals.
Lives are simpler and no kiasu mentality.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Got money= kawan.
No money = lawan.
