It seems, if you can believe what you're told, that China and more importantly S. Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong seem to be keeping a lid on Covid, at least for the moment. We've gone back to serious self-isolation as there is a spike due to infected folks coming back to Hong Kong.

Hi Neil,

I was talking to a work colleague today about how countries who were significantly exposed to SARS back in 2003'ish are much better prepared than us in fielding COVID-19. We mentioned Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea... these are doing an excellent job!

These COVID success-stories provide good beginning models for other countries to work with for the next time we see a pandemic. (I'm pretty sure it will arise again.)

Regards,
Noel
