The third person found to have the virus in the UK had recently been in Singapore, and not China. Very unlucky, or tip of a potential iceberg?

Conferences in Singapore are being impacted.

A friend was told by her company their trip there was cancelled. She has invited some of her family (4 others) to meet there the following week for a family vacation. They all cancelled because Singapore has 28 cases of the new virus according to the WHO Feb 6 status report.

Singapore has the most cases outside China. HKG has 21, Macau 10.

Crazy people who are bad at math. China is one thing, but Singapore? Really? Last time I traveled there, the Asian connection was NRT, so nearly zero risks. Japan and Thailand both report 25 cases, BTW.
