      Singaporeans generally have NOT been wearing masks. There isn't a mask-wearing culture here. The slowing was largely due to contact tracing. Now contact tracing has failed, and we are in a soft shutdown. Yesterday, half the people out shopping weren't wearing masks.

      I'm just going to put it here: when their tracing policy failed (as it eventually was going to) they did a U-turn. You need everything for most effective policy. Cheers!https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-03/singapore-u-turns-on-wearing-masks-as-local-virus-cases-climb …

          Yeah, they put a lot of stock in tracing. But it was clear throughout March that the numbers were going in the wrong direction, implying that R0 > 1. Additional tweaks (closing bars and nightclubs) didn't turn that tide.

          Singaporeans are really proud that they recommended no masks for a few weeks. Not sure why it’s such a big deal. They’ll have recommended and given out masks for way longer. The fact that they didn’t for a few weeks early on will be a footnote.

          They advised against masks from Jan until last week, so around 10-12 weeks. Cloth masks were handed out since Saturday, four days so far.
