Numbers weave a story. Please exercise due diligence before picking and choosing. You cant just look at one parameter without the context.
During last few days, Singapore has steadily inched up bit by bit to become the most infectious nation in the world, measured by number of infections per million people.
The rankings are:
1. Singapore 5026 per million
2. Spain 4928 per million
3. Ireland 4916 per million
4. Belgium 4823 per million
5. USA 4619 per million
6. Italy 3734 per million
7. UK 3656 per million
8. Switzerland 3569 per million
Neighbouring counries
Malaysia 690 per million
S Korea 214 per million
Hong Kong 141 per million
Taiwan 18 per million
Other small nations
Sweden 2946 per million
Denmark 1882 per million
Latvia 525 per million
Allbania 332 per million
Numbers derived by dividing number of total infections (wiki below) as at 18 May divided by population.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country_and_territory
Please also compare the testing per million - given it's populations size, we have a high number of testing per million. Active testing is being done - mild and asymptomatic ones are being picked up hence a greater number of positives. The migrant workers living in dorms form a very high portion of those tested positive , as they are being tested extensively.
Compare deaths per million - out of the 5026 per million we only have a fatality rate of less than 0.08% , it is around 6% for the world right now .
Compare those in ICU , for the 28K+ positive, 18K+ active cases , but right now we have only 12 in ICU . again 0.06% vs the 2% worldwide.
That should give you a better picture, that probably the testing in other countries is lacking so the positive cases are under represented. It is not like we have exceptional immune system compared to people in other countries.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ -- gives a lot more columns which makes comparison a little more reasonable. -

I think those students can go back like before sch holidays ,y kid sch , abt 10 or less go back to sch to hbl daily coz no Home support -
I am sorry to hear that there will be no Hari Raya visits allowed during CB period. But I think it is a good move.
Since the authorities have decided to stop all visits for Hari Raya Puasa, then please enforce to ensure what is decided is being carried out. Don’t just say say and no action !! -

DS finds the free reusable mask too thick and suffocating. I will stock up on the disposable kind. Probably need to prepare 3 per day: change after eating recess & change after PE or when sweaty.

Kiddos haven't been wearing mask/for more than 1 hour, need to slowly adapt when school reopen.[/quote]zac's mum\" post_id=\"1976733\" time=\"1589872667\" user_id=\"53606:[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1976733 time=1589872667 user_id=53606]“Primary 6 Students Return To Schools On 19 May, Masks, Temp-Taking & ID Check-Ins Are Required”

We are in a very good mood now after hearing the MOE press release news. Especially my extrovert boy is ultra happy at the thought of finally going back to school to see all his friends in person. -

Not sure if our kids need to remove the masks during PE lessons -
Can’t wait to jump into the pool for a dip to combat the hot weather

Can use face shield as alternative to mask, I suppose if child has asthma or eczema skin allergy to prolonged direct face covering.

swimming pool not allowed to be open, even after CB lifted
Can't wait to jump into the pool for a dip to combat the hot weather
anything that involve mass people to gather around at the pool, not allowed
not even your own condo pool
