In the mean time watch what you say online because they can deny you the use of planes and trains if you’ve been non communist compliant. Social credit system doesn’t allow freedom of speech.
You might have to drive across the border. Go to a third country and reroute to the US. Plan ahead.
Good luck.
They don’t have the social credit system in HK, or Macau.
Once the CCP takes over those “regions”, social credit system would be the order of the day.
Things could happen real fast, overnight. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Surely you are saying this in jest. There will be a flight before that happens and my exit will already be planned. Getting my son out is my TOP priority right now.
I admire Hong Kongers, they have shown more courage than Americans right now. Of course not all Americans, but they are more united in their fight right now.

I would hope there would be better protections for American citizens.
Please forgive me if this is unrelated to the OP. I have always wanted to visit HK. I may still go because, I love to see Victoria Harbor, as well as downtown itself. Of course, with the pandemic…it will be awhile before anyone can even leave the US. I am going to try to book a two-week trip for next Spring (2021).
‘‘With evidence increasingly suggesting the virus spreads far less readily in the open air, the once-a-day limit on outdoor exercise will be dropped.’’
Have they only just discovered that earth-shattering fact or did they know before they placed everyone under house arrest.

I would hazard a guess that self isolation for queenie is not quite the same as it is for the rest of us - I am really struggling atm bc I had to send my butler/cleaner and maid home FFS
I’m sure it’s not the same to “self-isolate” in a palace with large gardens where you can always walk around in the sun than to be stuck in a small apartment with no yard or garden.
And if you’re married, there’s always the same conversation partner (with or without screaming neurotic kids).
And people wonder why shithole NYC was a super-spreader…
Actual Cuomo quote: “We have never disinfected a bus before. We have never disinfected a train before. We have never contemplated disinfecting the public transportation system before. Now we have to do it.”

Spraying chemicals on public places probably won’t help much.
The team of Dr Streeck checked the homes of heavily infected persons, by taking samples from doorknobs and other surfaces the patients had newly touched. They found nothing contagious.
We still don’t know how contagion occurs. Wearing masks doesn’t help. Lockdowns don’t help.
Contagion occurs if you dance with an infected person in a closed space like discos with little ventilation.
Human immune system is the cure.
Don’t mess with it with vaccines and other drugs.

Lyme was downwind from the island where a military bio lab was located.
It’s also hushed up.
Wearing a mask is more harmful than good.

So, while face masks might help those already carrying the virus from passing it to others, can they also protect the uninfected from breathing it in?
Certainly the ability of specialised, disposable masks like the N95 respirator and the equivalent FFP-2 respirator mask in Europe to filter out particles from the air is high. They are designed to passively filter out 95% and 94% of airborne particles respectively – down to the size of 0.3 micrometres across – as the wearer breathes.
Their performance with blocking viruses from entering, however, is more mixed. Some viruses can be as small as 0.01 micrometres, while researchers have reported the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 is 0.07-0.09 micrometres in size. Respiratory viruses, however, tend to be suspended in aerosol droplets, which can range in size from 0.1-900 micrometres, so blocking these is often more important.
Some older studies have suggested that smaller viruses than might be expected can slip through the N95 filter, but they have been found to be effective at blocking the influenza virus.
And there is some research to suggest these respirator masks are effective when it comes to protecting people against Covid-19. One analysis of health workers in China showed that those who wore N95 respirators did not become infected with the virus, despite caring for highly-contagious patients. This is one of the reasons why these masks have been deemed so important for frontline healthcare workers.
The concern is that, if the general public buy up all of the already short supplies of these masks, it will leave these crucial workers, who are the most likely to be exposed, unprotected and vulnerable. The World Health Organization has urged the general public not to wear these masks in order to secure supplies for health workers, and this has also been the rationale behind the reluctance of many governments to encourage the public to wear masks.
I was happy to see that people here in HK are waking up to this fact as well. Everyday, more and more people are leaving their masks home! Except when they go out to protest of course!
