This is a terrible article. I sympathize with the message but the idea that Hong Kong has false sense of security against airborne transmission because of their emphasis on disinfection is nonsense. They had striking cases of airborne transmission during SARS and are guarded.

Agree that Hong Kong is not a good example but it's not clear that Fennelley had Hong Kong in mind when he said this. But the article's author does suggest it in the rest of the article.pic.twitter.com/EN5F9L10ql

The whole article is a disservice to the topic which is otherwise important. We don't need to make up examples when people can just look at New York itself where the MTA and schools kept closing for deep cleaning, but no open windows in many places.

agree that it would have been a lot better if it had focused on New York instead of Hong Kong. unclear why they chose Hong Kong in the first place. Kinda feels like: OK, we need an article about hygiene theater and also an article about Hong Kong. Hey, why not just combine the 2?

Yeah but cannot think of a place more aware of airborne transmission, especially among the citizenry, than Hong Kong. WTH? Like you can actually find complicated arguments about about aerosol plumes in toilets—and what do to about it—in regular social media chats in HK.
