Maybe its cultural. Until all the old people with the old baggage die the population's behaviour doesn't change. I'm in singapore and last night i went to a few supermarkets. Toilet paper, instant noodles, bread, thermometers..are some of the things that are sold out. Singapore has 40 cases and people are reacting like its the zombie apocalypse despite the government saying there will be no "lock down" and supplies will be sufficient.. As many here have pointed out. Singapore is a police state. This is where contact tracing is going to work if ever. And singapore was the first country to deny entry to travellers from china, despite the economy's dependency on china. I mean. Why toilet paper? It comes from Indonesia right?
