I think we got out of the HKG at just the right time,( 2 years ago this March) even though I don't mind a bit of riotous chaos ( protests ) and also remember what it was like during SARS 1.0 in 2002, which actually didn't faze me when I no longer had to wait for a table at popular restaurants lol But, I didn't have children back then and I must admit, I am a LOT more comfortable these days being 6,892km away on our semi rural piece of unspoilt paradise.
Our kids start back at school on, Wednesday, after their 2 month summer break, refreshed and ready to embark on another year at school, swimming squad, Taekwondo, piano, claranet, guitar and art classes. Which as a parent, has been quite enjoyable ( rewarding ) to have been a part of over the last year..... so, looking forward to this one too.

We started homeschooling our sons last year and I'm so glad we did given what's happened with the protests and now the virus... that said, it's not why we made the decision. Aside from the bliss (mostly) that has been hanging out with my boys more I've even noticed welcome change in me... much less short tempered, much less stressed, no arguing online , much more productive, which was unexpected.
Things settled down after some time. Hong Kong has been more a passing place than a settling place over the last years, she has been loosing friend who moved out of Hong Kong every year, so there's that.
Taipei is quite the opposite, people tend to stay longer, and that would help. With that said, the jump is always a bit hard, but it really worth the effort IMO.
Wow!
Just saw the SCMP alert that schools are now closed till Easter at least.
When I first asked what parents were thinking in January, it seemed quite a few parents thought my concerns were unwarranted.
Curious as to what your thoughts are now, and if keeping your kids in HK with the continued lockdown is still the plan.
If not, how are you managing and what is the ongoing impact?
Above all, my heart goes out to all of us as no matter what choices we make as parenta, the upheaval and disruptions continue for our families.

Young people need time to relax and spend their parents money on holidays abroad please don't look at it as something that could affect your childrens prospects. Thats what I would say anyway if I was a mouthpiece for the CCP.
