The other key thing may be that they gave out masks and sanitizer to local residents, but not foreigners. The virus doesn't give a shit whether you're visiting a country or were born there, but the government does, so they got fucked. It eventually got to the dorms, where people literally can't socially isolate.. and boom
So few people outside SG know about the horrible living conditions of their low income foreigner work force. They seem to be practically slaves. Those who did know warned about the conditions, but their voices were stifled.
Unfortunately that's behind a paywall; I think it would be a good read.
There are so many news sources that offer good content, but each one costs money to go to. I already sub to so many things, so I feel like I am missing out
