    Hong Kong sticks to strict quarantine regime even as region starts to open

    The mainland is more important

    Businesses and residents look elsewhere

    Asia’s World City banner now looks pretty sad at an empty airport.

    The HK government has no say when it can re-open. It depends on Beijing, which right now is focused on ensuring the 20th party congress and Winter Olympics goes off without a hitch. That means Beijing will not order any relaxation of quarantine on HK until after both events.

    Singapore is getting nearly 4,000 daily cases after opening. This cost is too high for us.

    There is … stay closed forever.

    Even is 90% is fully vaccinated (which will never happen) you will get the same as Singapore once you open up.

    Which means the elderly vaccination rate in HK must dramatically improve and also children vaccination must be made available...which I don't know when that is.

    I'm more interested in the death rate. The vaccine does not stop you from getting it, but it highly likely stops you from dying from it - which is its job. So what is the death rate amongst the vaccinated there? I could not give 2 shits about the unvaccinated.

    There are 2 or 3 daily deaths of vaccinated people, almost all older people with underlying conditions.

    I really despair at how many people are seeing Singapore's experience as a validation for keeping HK locked down for another year.
