key take aways<p>Default is to wear a mask in public<p>Body temperature is is often checked when you enter a building<p>Frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer.<p>Frequent cleaning of door handles&#x2F;knobs and other common shared contact services.<p>Many events, large and small cancelled.<p>Schools, parks, museums all closed.<p>Closing paragraph:<p>&quot;what I learned in Hong Kong is that the small acts add up. Fatality rates are higher in countries that don’t take as many measures to contain the virus. The closures of large events aren’t a sign of doom. They shift our lives but show we’re doing something to contain this. As strange as things are right now, life adjusts and finds a new normal — and it’s the least we can do for those around us.&quot;

Sanction and fine the Chinese communist party and their officers for the catastrophe they inflicted on the world. Never again.
