Saw that too.

I didn't think they were seeing another outbreak over there.

It was reported 2 or 3 days ago.

Looks like Mr. Penguin just posted the same thing, but they have had a couple hundred new cases lately after being close to zero for a while.

Yeah. They pretty much had it eradicated. Then shortly after opening, it comes back. Dang virus is tricky.

Overall they never had a large amount of cases, so any uptick like this is probably concerning to them.

They are jumping on this quickly. A couple hundred cases and there closing. Smart for some on this thread, dumb for others I’m going to guess.

Look up the new Hong Kong "Security Law". I think there is more to it than just the virus. In other words, I wouldn't draw any conclusions from the closure (if the closure is even true).

Not at all. Only (i know its a bit morbid) 7 people died from Covid in total, 45 died yesterday in Florida. Florida is ramping up Hong Kong is shutting down.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Not at all. Not after what mainland China went through. They want zero cases. And if a community spread starts that testing and contact tracing can't track and quarantine... shut it down until the wildfire is out.

Love and appreciate your charts and graphs but it’s way to early for my eyes to see something so small!

It's about 5x4" on my desktop screen and not what I would consider small at all.

Are you on a phone?

I kinda compare it to NYC as far as population density. If NYC has cases to zero and then had a surge, there would be an “oh crap” moment. Probably even more so for Hong Kong since they have came through this all pretty well. They know what could happen.

I am. No worries. Just busting on you. Nothing my stronger readers can’t handle.

I think it is wise not to draw too many conclusions about anything taking place in Hong Kong at the moment. To be as vague as possible, there are a lot of complicated things going on there right now, and we have very little reliable information.

 

[Touchdown]

Off topic but holy cow does the new castle in HK look terrible, yikes.

Have you seen anything official on that beside a third party twitter post?

I thought that was the official HK Twitter.. am I wrong Steve?

Here's the chart with the updated record-breaking number from yesterday. Also note the death rate going up. For a while, it was just FL that was the only state that had its death rate go up trailing the second-wave spike that so many other states have been experiencing. But now, about half the states that have had a spike in positive cases, are now are seeing their death rate increase, even though for a while their death rate was plateauing.

So, increasing deaths from increasing cases do happen, trailing by a few weeks.

Just like our medical professionals said would happen.

And all those states combined have caused this to happen to the U.S....

Does anyone remember how the FL Panhandle was doing just fine? No worries?
