SARS was actually 17yrs ago, so for that muscle memory to still be in place is damn impressive.
I agree, the optics are better there. But their society is more uniform than ours overall. To respond like HK did, we'd have to be a different society. As for SARS, my point is that HK gov't already had pandemic protocols in place.
