Hong Kong had every reason to have an exponential epidemic (lots of travel from Wuhan/China) and yet has dramatically slowed the spread. Two deaths total. Probably: with memory of SARS, they responded quickly with closures, universal mask wearing, social distancing and hygiene. https://twitter.com/lwcalex/status/1235091542219448321 …

Having 11 deaths to only 89 known local cases is actually terrible news, because it means that there is already a widespread outbreak that we don't see because we aren't testing—we are only noticing the deaths, and probably missing those too. This is what happened in Iran.pic.twitter.com/rXuxEEzWcn

Having so few known cases to many deaths is a terrible sign. If this were all there was, it would imply a case fatality ratio of 5%—higher than any place. In fact, we simply don't know where the cases are and how many and we are likely missing deaths, too.https://twitter.com/ByMikeBaker/status/1236383802420686848 …

Malaysia is another country with significant success in containing Covid-19, despite extensive links with China. Malaysia did not engage in stupid stunts, simply stuck rigorously to WHO recommendations

Culture matters. SE Asia has experience with this. We have a strong libertarian culture and an ignorant bravado that makes ppl feel powerful by telling others there’s no reason to worry. A bad recipe for complacency.

Taiwan was exceptional w.r.t. containment of this virus, 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen, president of Taiwan leadership was (is) fantastic. Fingers crossed & hoping that Presidents, PM’s & Leaders reach out to her for guidance. https://www.sankei.com/world/news/200226/wor2002260026-n1.html …pic.twitter.com/ZpPmEpaxOo
