Thanks for sharing! I have been building a collection of useful statistics links for Covid-19. This singaporean one takes the cake for detail - a case by case breakdown and network graph, amazing!

Here are some nice resources I've come across: Obligatory global john hopkins/arcgis: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

Another global map, but with different stats: https://thewuhanvirus.com/

A detailed frequency table with sources: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus...

A japan dashboard: https://covid19japan.com/

Nextstrain has a bioinformatics overview here: https://nextstrain.org/ncov

We should really applaud Singapore Govt. here. I don't think any other place has handled the situation so well and so transparent.

P.S I live in Singapore. Ask me anything

nicolas_t 6 years ago | |

Taiwan also has been rather efficient and transparent in how they handled the situation. And the results speak for themselves for a country with so many economic ties to China...

mytailorisrich 6 years ago | | |

It so happens that, because of the recent political situation, mainland China suspended individual trips (not groups) to Taiwan last year.

Probably quite a silver lining there.

Edit: Got it the wrong way round: individuals, not groups.

It was 34C in Singapore today (About 93F). No doubt the government response has been proactive, but you'd think the weather might be a factor in successful containment of the infection?

namanaggarwal 6 years ago | | |

Yes weather could be a factor, but given the high population density of Singapore, I would attribute the success to the Govt.

Note that there have been more than 100 cases now with no deaths.

Some of the less known measures that Govt. took

* Encouraging companies to plan Business continuity plans

* Govt. Whatsapp group provides accurate information, preventing spread of fake news

* Govt gave each household masks just to stop the panic

* Free healthcare for all suffering from coronavirus

Being one city helps too. Harder to have underserviced areas.

darklajid 6 years ago | |

Another one from Singapore. I agree that the official reaction seems well handled!

(Not that there wasn't a slight panic and crazy hoarding stories and there certainly are flaws in company/building management policies, but .. that's not to blame on the government)

lightyoruichi 6 years ago | |

Agreed. A lot of SEA countries been handling it pretty well(with the exception of Indonesia). I'm from Malaysia and even though there's been a huge political storm recently, we still have the highest recovery rate among all fo the countries that are suffering.

I gotta say Singapore is killing it with all his tech when it comes to corona. Majulah!

What are the main take aways for your countries actions that help its success? I believe Vietnam has also been doing a lot of effective action sofar.

aneeshnl 6 years ago | | |

Transparency is the key take away. Official government whatsapp notifications helped curb fake news. The information was readily available. Ministers and other senior health officials was on the news, providing accurate information.

The contact tracing and isolation was near perfect. Strict measures were taken for people who disobeyed orders and put people in danger.

lazylizard 6 years ago | | |

Curious..what has vietnam been doing?

Japan for instance has 20 times more people than Singapore, but only 3 times more cases. Epidemic started at the same time in both countries. Not saying that Singapore isn't doing a good job, but are they really doing much better than other countries?

namanaggarwal 6 years ago | | |

Again not to undermine the efforts by Japan, but the way they handled the Diamond Princess was not up to the mark.

Because of their mis-management a lot of people contracted the Virus.

It should be noted that all schools in Singapore are open along with all work places

paulmooreparks 6 years ago | |

I live there, too. I concur.

mytailorisrich 6 years ago | |

> I don't think any other place has handled the situation so well

Can't really fault the extensive and sweeping measures China has taken, and the compliance and efforts of the Chinese people.

Singapore is somewhat similar with strict measures and people complying for the greater good.

Looking at the URL here. Wasn't the whole point of naming it COVID-19 to not have it relate to / blamed on a geographic location.

Calling it the Wuhan Virus is not great.

manigandham 6 years ago | |

Domain was registered about 11 days before it was named COVID-19, and is also irrelevant to people looking for info about the virus.

epanchin 6 years ago | |

I disagree. If viruses are forever associated with the locations in which they first spread, perhaps authorities might be a little sharper in controlling the spread.

nobrains 6 years ago | | |

You mean like the Spanish Flu? (My comment is sarcastic...)

Thanks for focusing on the real issue at hand and keeping justice alive

This site likely started before it was officially named.

Is there anything similar for South Korea?

I found something interesting about South Korea. According to Worldometers South Korea have tested a lot more people than anyone else - see https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/

Then if you look at the Country breakdown here https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ (scroll down a bit) South Korea has 5,186 confirmed cases but only 27 are listed as Serious or Critical. This seems to go against the '20% need hospital treatment' narrative and would support the theory that there are a lot of mild cases going undetected (as SK has tested more widely than any other country).

But ... I can't find a source for that '27' Serious or Critical number.

nicolas_t 6 years ago |

A good dashboard in HK https://wars.vote4.hk/en/

Wish they listed the total number of people tested so far though. Since I think that's a statistic that is important to properly interpret the number of cases.

robjan 6 years ago | |

You can always suggest it on their GitHub issues. They also accept PRs. https://github.com/nandiheath/warsinhk

I really like the network graph showing relationships between clusters and patients

kodisha 6 years ago |

Interesting tech stack.

Erlang + Ruby?

I wonder how accurate this Wappalyzer [1] is?

zp-uca 6 years ago | |

Correct, I used ruby, specifically on rails. No erlang though. Python to scrape the data for the backend.

I'm really curious how the weather plays an aspect here. Singapore being on the equator

hatenberg 6 years ago | |

Not so sure. While outside in Singapore is hot and humid, indoor environments where most people spend most of their time are aircon cooled, UV shielded and dry, ideal conditions for the virus

The clusters that did develop expanded rapidly.

I'm gonna go with the excellent government response and tracing on this one

The ONLY dashboard in the world showing Age, Gender & Nationality Distribution.

kijin 6 years ago | |

https://wuhanvirus.kr/#location-card has age, sex, and location statistics for South Korea, but it's not in English.

KayL 6 years ago | | |

Great! I can guess which is age & sex.

It's a good time to show how important web accessibility is. The wording inside the HTML Canvas can't be translated.

Stay strong & safe @kijin!

Surprisingly, Singapore has lots of Indians but I don't see Indians in Singapore who got this virus. And no report of India being affected either. What gives?

aneeshnl 6 years ago | |

Note the the ones marked Singaporeans can include people of Indian origin. The data only indicates that Indian citizens in Singapore haven't been confirmed with COVID-19.

Also, the clusters identified have more Chinese origin people.

9nGQluzmnq3M 6 years ago | | |

That's mostly because Chinese are a numerical majority, and there also was a major cluster in a mainly Chinese church.

aneeshnl 6 years ago | |

There are Indian citizens who are affected. Local transmission didn't happen as India made prompt effort to cancel chineese visas and health screening in airports who come from affected countries.

Also, quarantine efforts for rescued citizens from Wuhan was efficiently done.

crearterandom23 6 years ago | |

India has reported 5 cases officially out of which 3 people have fully recovered. There were 2 new cases yesterday. A third case is also suspected from a foreign national.
