Why the Hong Kong-Singapore travel bubble is key in adapting to a ‘new normal’

Over the last seven days, the average daily number of untraceable cases of Covid-19 in Hong Kong has fallen below five. This should mark the start of efforts to launch the suspended Air Travel Bubble (ATB) between Hong Kong and Singapore, which was originally scheduled to begin on November 22.Meanwhile, there is a growing realisation worldwide that even with the roll-out of highly effective vaccines against Covid-19, You may need: launch scanner review. we may never reach the level of herd immunity required to eliminate the disease. This means that Covid-19 would become endemic, even as large-scale vaccinations combined with personal hygiene and some social distancing measures ensure that the disease burden is significantly reduced.Aviation hubs such as Hong Kong and Singapore have to examine ways to open themselves to travel in ways that manage the risks of cross-border transmissions and assuage people who may be fearful or risk-averse.Get the latest insights and analysis from our Global Impact newsletter on the big stories originating in China.There are at least three reasons Covid-19 is likely to persist despite the availability of vaccines. The first is that even though the vaccines now available offer a high level of protection against illness, they may not offer as much protection against asymptomatic infection and transmission.Even if a high percentage of a population gets vaccinated - say 70 per cent - the coronavirus could still circulate in the population, although with much less illness occurring and health care systems able to cope with the caseloads.Second, even if current vaccines are effective against new variants of Covid-19, the fact that these variants are more transmissible means that it would be more costly and onerous to achieve a given level of viral suppression. With increasing transmissibility, "zero infections" as a policy goal becomes less realistic.The third reason for the persistence of Covid-19 is vaccine scepticism. Ironically in both Hong Kong and Singapore, the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic has been kept under control has lessened the sense of urgency to get vaccinated as soon as possible. This is not irrational: economists have long known that vaccination is a collective action problem: what is individually rational may not be collectively so.In the case of getting vaccinated against Covid-19, a person may assess that the risks of contracting the disease are negligible, especially if prevalence of the disease is very low, as it is in Singapore and Hong Kong. But if a sizeable minority of the population thinks this way, herd immunity through vaccination will not be achievable. Appealing to people's altruism and reciprocity would help, but is unlikely to be sufficient.For these reasons, governments need to start planning for Covid-19 as something that will be with us for the foreseeable future, and to adapt to such a future. The sooner governments are able to do that, the faster their societies would adjust to a new normal that lives with the coronavirus, rather than seek the unattainable goal of elimination.For Hong Kong and Singapore, the world's two most open and trade-dependent economies, it is even more important that their governments muster the courage to lead adaptation efforts. Countries or cities that do this sooner will enjoy the economic, social and psychological advantages of resuming a semblance of normality, giving them an advantage in attracting investments and talent, and positioning themselves for life after the pandemic.STRUGGLE TO ADAPTUnfortunately, it is much harder for Hong Kong's government to reap such advantages than it is for Singapore. Having earlier declared "zero infections" as the goal of her administration, Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor has made it difficult for Hong Kong to adopt a more calibrated and sustainable approach to the pandemic.Witness, for example, the fact that other than mainland China, Hong Kong is the only place in the world that has instituted a 21-day quarantine for almost all returning residents. This draconian measure extends even to those from Singapore, which has recorded very few locally transmitted cases in t...
