Anyway, even if 2,000, that would be a catastrophic number. August passenger traffic was 0.8% of usual.
With the current policy of keeping borders tightly shut and aiming for zero covid cases, Hong Kong and CX are slowly dying.
That can work for China which is a huge country and partly self-sustained. But for Hongkong?
I will say the third wave of COVID-19 in Hong Kong exactly illustrates the necessity of strict border control. 100+ daily-new-cases has already made public hospital system overwhelmed. The elderly in the nursing home and their families were suffering. Also if you look at the second wave in Australia and New Zealand, it also caused by imported cases.
APAC countries are adopting strict border control methods. Problems of Hong Kong and Cathay Pacific are quite common. Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and even Japan......they are all waiting for vaccines.
