Aug 27, 2019 at 8:30 comment added Mark Amery "Information" and "advice" are mass nouns. You are of course correct that there are "many, many" such words, but this question was specifically asking for countable singularia tantum. As for "rush", it's countable, and it certainly needs to be used in the singular in the particular idiom that you quote, but nonetheless I don't think it's a singulare tantum. "Rushes" seems to be a perfectly legitimate plural form; if I search Google for "chaotic rushes" I find at least two published books using that phrase (one talking about project management, another about children on a playground).
