I think the total number of cases will hit 60k at least before petering out.

Don't forget to go out and support the cinemas, cafes, Changi Jewel and Founder's bak kut teh.

There is no cure for the disease. You won't get immunity after falling sick once.

The infection is already widespread but of course hardly anyone is actually sick because the virus is very mild in the vast majority of the population.

As result whenever testing is performed a percentage of those that tested will yield positive results. If the number tested was doubled then you'd see double the number of positives.

Instead of counting absolute numbers which is pretty meaningless without stating how many tests were done the daily count should be "percentage that test positive" as this parameter will far better reflect the trend of the infection rates.
