REPly 1984, I have little disagreement with the points you raised.
I would not to be in the shoes of any government today.
But essential travel must be allowed even if unpopular among many risk-averse HongKongers..
hina is a special arrangement for HK and for obvious reasons. To some extent that is also the case with Malaysia for Singapore. Singapore is working hard to establish green lanes for "essential travel" with China and Brunei and is working hard with 11 other countries. No more quarantine for those business pax, just quite strict surveillance.
I just hope that HK implement quickly such travel links, rather than blabla about it. This is not to save the HK tourism industry, but to save the HK international economic role.
Frankly, I am now quite pessimistic about CX survival with all its widebodies and no traffic for the foreseeable future.
