Hong Kong is denser than NYC, relies on crowded mass transit, is not fully shut down, and had much more travel from Wuhan early on—and has had four known COVID deaths TOTAL in all these months. Four total. Don't let anyone say NYC tragedy was inevitable.https://twitter.com/RossBarkan/status/1251280238614654978 …
Compared with NYC? Anyway, not much more to say. It's clear. I'll repeat: four deaths in many months under much much much much less favorable conditions than NYC.

it's easier for a Wuhan resident to get a foreign visa than a Hong Kong travel permit. Far easier. Hong Kong has always had a pretty hard border with the mainland. The Beijing government doesn't want its population to flee there.

https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/message_from_us/stat2.html … This is the traffic flow of Hong Kong immigration control points in January. It's mainland, not just Wuhan, but the figure is still huge. Annually, take 2018 as an example, we got 65 million visiting HK, of which 51 million from mainland China.
