      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 reality. We are where we are. Along with everything else, in the middle of all this, we have to work on the long-term work of fixing our governance and society.https://twitter.com/LogTechEric/status/1260210112184168453 …

      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.

      How the people of Hong Kong saved themselves. A long hard earned respect for public health from the Plague of 1894 to SARS and the Avian flu, Hong Kongers have learned to incorporate public health into their lifestyles @zeynep https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/05/how-hong-kong-beating-coronavirus/611524/ …

      I’m going to guess that Hong Kong lacks America’s deep cultural divisions where a not insignificant portion of the population revels in not conforming to public health (masks and social distancing) and its fringe even commits violence in service of autonomy (pretext for racism)

      Hong Kongers seem more rebellious than Americans. They’ve been literally fighting their govt for a while now.
