Singapore, which had early cases, also dealt with the disease superbly without closing all "nonessential businesses". Solution: face masks, extensive testing / case tracking, smartphone apps / data collection, strict workplace hygeine measures and closing any which can't or won't comply, etc.

Unfortunately, Singapore's measures has failed, and we are now closing all nonessential businesses.
It did hold back the tide of infections for 2 months, but various due to non-compliance and slowness to increase necessary measures, it became too much and the number of cases has started exploding over the past few days.

Comment Android security updates (Score 1) 149

Not sure what's up with all the FUD about Android security patch irregularity. My Sony Xperia and One Plus phones are 3 years old and they are still receiving the monthly security updates from the manufacturer, so lag time is at most 2 months. It shouldn't be much different for Samsung and the other more popular brands and models.

It's true that updates between the major versions of Android are slow or even non-existent, but security updates are different. You can remain on an older version of Android and still receive security updates.
