I totally got what I wanted. It's better to be in a country actively working with the outbreak than in one where the numbers are suppressed for political and personal reasons. The probability to get infected is low regardless, but probability of getting a good care in the US is unmatched with that in HK. Check, check, check. Will be back to HK sometime in May
We've been avoiding public transport and especially busses for a 2-3 weeks. We found some ways of getting to the countryside without taking public transport, instead by walking etc.
But when we got there, oh my! It seems everyone had the same idea and this was during the week. The peak was absolutely packed. I had to jump in the bush as a group of mainlanders came down 6 abreast at us.
It's a nightmare. Many other places are the same.
re: WHO.
I read a few years ago how the strategy from governments is to deny pandemics at all costs to reduce panic on the basis that panic worsens things greatly. I'm sure that's probably what this is all about.
I remember reading the reasons why they need to lie so much and it made a lot of sense at the time. However... the downsides and consequences were not really discussed. Which I could remember where I read about this. It surprises me that I seem to be the only one who remembers this. I guess I was one of the few people who took an interest in this before Ebola.
Can anyone help me find such an article or reference?
