HK has not had a local case in 41 days. Not a single case. It has had 2 in cases in 3+mos. Both working in airport lounges dealing with incoming pax.

70,000 cases a day on a population the size of the US is equivalent to 1500-1700 cases a day in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has had 12,000 cases... total. About 7-8 days' worth of the US on a population-equivalent basis.
HK has seen 213 deaths. About 1/80th the US rate per capita.

And I am told the 70k cases/day in the US understates the reality because of weekend/poor reporting. Actual numbers averaging 120k, which means HK's total caseload in 20mos is about 4-5 days of the current US rate on a population-equalised basis.
