"warm weather may have an effect on transmission" and "a warm city is dealing with infections" are not mutually exclusive statements.

And for the record, as of a little over a week ago, there were only a dozen cases in Singapore according to the WHO. Even if they were mutually exclusive, Singapore isn't exactly the best example.

22 of these were traveling straight from Wuhan.

Hm, increasing 47/12 in 7 days is the same as doubling every 3.55 days.

Some involve evacuated individuals from Wuhan so its actually a slower growth rate
