But the city had impressive success in tackling the disease, all but ending local transmissions by late June.

However, in the last two weeks, infections have spiked once more and doctors fear the new outbreak is now spreading undetected in the densely packed territory of 7.5 million people.

On Sunday chief executive Carrie Lam said more than 500 infections had been confirmed in the last fortnight alone, nearly a third since the outbreak began.[/quote]

Hong Kong is worried about 500 new cases over a 14 day period.   That's an average of 35 new cases per day.   Hong Kong's population is 7 million.   35/7 million = 5/million

So they are FREAKING OUT over this large outbreak ---- FIVE NEW CASES PER MILLION PER DAY.

FIVE.

Maryland is at 125 new cases per million per day and we are still talking about whether we should cloe the bars.

Florida is at something like 500 new cases per million per day and they have Disneyworld open.

Hong Kong knows what the eff they are doing.  YOU DON'T GET TO COMPARE US WITH HONG KONG.

They did everything right, they shit spread down, and now, when they see local outbreaks they work hard to eradicate them.

NO STATE IN THE US IS EVEN CLOSE TO 5 NEW CASES PER MILLION PER DAY.
