      Hong Kong is dense with a crowded subway. It has a lot of travel from China. And yet, no local cases for weeks now. No Lombardy-style lock down either. And, no, it's not the competent government. I wrote about how the people of Hong Kong saved themselves. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/05/how-hong-kong-beating-coronavirus/611524/ …pic.twitter.com/ia5VHV6Ycb

      This is the answer people. We have now had enough time to take stock of the situation. It's *us* who will lead a return to anything approaching normalcy - by being smart and adapting to new lifestyle realities - not our government or a knight in shining armor.

          great article. Inspiring. But in place of a mobilized unified localized citizen network facing a limited outbreak, ea US State (w Fed support!) needs to shelter and isolate until a regime of test-trace-isolate can occur. we simply can't hope to emulate HK at the is time.

          Too many deniers and too much greed for this to work here apparently

          Agreed, americans have become too self centered to make it work like HK. A lot of the success that Asian countries have been having with combating the virus is a respect for others and the science

          It's People doing all they can to take care of their fellow man. Take all precautions, from wearing masks to social distancing. Not fall for wealthy people who work at home, wanting us to rush out & sacrifice our lives for their profits! Freedom to infect others isn't freedom!

          Hong Kong understood what action they needed to take to keep themselves and their families safe. it didn't take orders from govt. they did it because it is smart.https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2020/03/19/asian-countries …
