I've never heard the phrase "Hong Kong Island" -- just simply "Hong Kong". But... I'm listening to audio book that calls out the island.... And at the literal same time as I'm listening to this, I'm scrolling through a promotional email, which at the bottom identifies that the company is based out of Hong Kong Island. Weird coincidence?

- "#nonpharmaceutical interventions" work (hand washing, masks, air filtration)

- flu can spread via aerosols

- "long flu" may be a risk

- asymptomatic flu infections may be underappreciated
