Singapore Covid-19 Cases DashBoard
- namanaggarwal 7y agoWe 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
- paulmooreparks 7y agoI live there, too. I concur.
- prox 7y agoWhat 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 7y agoTransparency 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 7y agoCurious..what has vietnam been doing?
- prox 7y agoBasically sameish strategy as Singapore , including lockdowns of area’s / schools when necessary. They’ve been vigilant since the initial outbreak.
- nicolas_t 7y agoTaiwan 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 7y agoIt 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.
- barry-cotter 7y agoThe PRC didn’t suspend tourist groups. They stopped allowing PRC passport holders to get individual tourist visas to go on holiday in Taiwan. A family I know were in Taiwan as part of a tour group when news of the virus broke.
- darklajid 7y agoAnother 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)
- sxsde 7y agoI gotta say Singapore is killing it with all his tech when it comes to corona. Majulah!
- mytailorisrich 7y 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.
- farseer 7y agoIt 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 7y agoYes 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
- rolltiide 7y agoBeing one city helps too. Harder to have underserviced areas.
- taneq 7y agoGot any spare toilet paper, mate? :P (Context: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-03/loo-roll-limit-costco-cracks-down-on-coronavirus-panic-buying/12022204 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-03/loo-roll-limit-costco...)
- yodsanklai 7y agoJapan 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 7y agoAgain 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
- lightyoruichi 7y agoAgreed. 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.
- ImaCake 7y agoThanks 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.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h... Another global map, but with different stats: https://thewuhanvirus.com/ https://thewuhanvirus.com/ A detailed frequency table with sources: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus... A japan dashboard: https://covid19japan.com/ https://covid19japan.com/ Nextstrain has a bioinformatics overview here: https://nextstrain.org/ncov https://nextstrain.org/ncov
- prox 7y agohttps://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID This is also a good source, daily updates
- econcon 7y agoSurprisingly, 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 7y agoNote 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 7y agoThat's mostly because Chinese are a numerical majority, and there also was a major cluster in a mainly Chinese church.
- aneeshnl 7y agoThere 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 7y agoIndia 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.
- nicolas_t 7y agoA good dashboard in HK https://wars.vote4.hk/en/ 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 7y agoYou can always suggest it on their GitHub issues. They also accept PRs. https://github.com/nandiheath/warsinhk https://github.com/nandiheath/warsinhk
- chippy 7y agoI really like the network graph showing relationships between clusters and patients
- deleted 7y ago[deleted]
- quelltext 7y agoLooking 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.
- robjan 7y agoThis site likely started before it was officially named.
- manigandham 7y agoDomain was registered about 11 days before it was named COVID-19, and is also irrelevant to people looking for info about the virus.
- epanchin 7y agoI 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 7y agoYou mean like the Spanish Flu? (My comment is sarcastic...)
- scarmig 7y agoIt reminds of syphilis. Back in the day, syphilis was known as the French disease by the Germans, the Italian disease by the French, the Polish disease by the Russians, the Spanish disease by the Dutch, and the Christian disease by the Turks.
- animalnewbie 7y agoThanks for focusing on the real issue at hand and keeping justice alive
- codeulike 7y agoIs 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/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/ Then if you look at the Country breakdown here https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ 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.
- cheschire 7y agoJust googling for 코로나 19 맵 will give you several. The first one I saw was: http://livecorona.co.kr/ http://livecorona.co.kr/
- codeulike 7y agoThanks. I found a source for the SK stats: http://ncov.mohw.go.kr/tcmBoardView.do?brdId=&brdGubun=&dataGubun=&ncvContSeq=353300&contSeq=353300&board_id=&gubun=ALL http://ncov.mohw.go.kr/tcmBoardView.do?brdId=&brdGubun=&data... Does 격리해제 mean something like 'Serious cases?'. Google translates it as 'isolate'
- lazylizard 7y agoIs it because they haven't had time to become serious yet? Its still early days in s.korea compared to china? Will the proportion go up in 2-3 weeks?
- haunter 7y agoI'm really curious how the weather plays an aspect here. Singapore being on the equator
- hatenberg 7y agoNot 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
- KayL 7y agoThe ONLY dashboard in the world showing Age, Gender & Nationality Distribution.
- kijin 7y agohttps://wuhanvirus.kr/#location-card https://wuhanvirus.kr/#location-card has age, sex, and location statistics for South Korea, but it's not in English.
- KayL 7y agoGreat! 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!
- kodisha 7y agoInteresting tech stack. Erlang + Ruby? https://i.imgur.com/BZWiC0p.png https://i.imgur.com/BZWiC0p.png I wonder how accurate this Wappalyzer [1] is? [1] https://www.wappalyzer.com/ https://www.wappalyzer.com/
- zp-uca 7y agoCorrect, I used ruby, specifically on rails. No erlang though. Python to scrape the data for the backend.
