Interesting data. It tells me that it is too early to get a handle on rates. looks like the increased % per day is not stable at all.

Yes. It is still at the stage where a flash cluster can significantly skew the numbers. But despite the instability of the increase %, we do see that it has consistantly remained above 10% increase per day for a week now.

Of course, at this stage we have no idea of how long that pattern might hold, but if it continues for long, I'd expect panic flight from Hong Kong within a short time. Any rumors on the possible coming shutdown of outbound flights will accelerate such panic.

I note that an editorial in today's Wall Street Journal calls for a shutdown of all flights from China, including Hong Kong, to the USA.
