The hype over this is ridiculous!
Sucks if you get it but it sucks to be hit by lightning too!
The lesson from Hong Kong is that it if your take it seriously (it literally says citizens were “hyper-reactive”), then you mitigate the damage. But handwaving it, ignoring it, and denying it is literally the antithesis of that response. It is ignoring the lesson learned from the failure in Wuhan, and the success in Hong Kong. Overreact and declare victory.
