Or, perhaps, knowing that is the way of Singapore, learn to deal with it stoically like "most" Singaporeans do, OR, head for Changi.

Yeah, having lived here for 30 years now, and the last 14 of them in my own HDB flat, I'm pretty sure I know how it's normally done here. I think the increase in cases in recent years are probably the same percentage wise, if one considers the increase in the resident population here.
