  Chinese KMT also inoculated Taiwan's people against any China government behavior.

  Taiwan knows the CCP like no other. They closed of wuhan flights the moment that human to human transmission was admitted.

  Yes. Taiwans response has been phenomenal, and other Asian countries are not doing too bad either because they've dealt with this before.

  Same for Hong Kong. The horror of SARS is still fresh for most even after 17 years. Everyone automatically started wearing masks, did social distancing and #CancelEverything.

  We will learn eventually (if we must) and come out stronger. The response of Switzerland has been disappointing so far. I‘m sure there will be an aftermath to that. We can be lucky this is no SARS or MERS.

  Yes and also the public health culture here is remarkable, everyone wears masks literally 80% right now, sick or not. On the subway, almost 100% ratepic.twitter.com/QXdJFa9PDv

  It is true to an extent of all counties exposed to SARS. In HK they publish the schedule of disinfecting in lifts / toilets / trains. And it is done very frequently. Have not seen this anywhere not impacted by SARS.
