I hope that we in Europe and the west adopt a lot of what Asia is already doing as part of normal life - it's not that disruptive:
- Cleaning & disinfecting of surfaces every hour (for example elevator buttons, door handles on buildings etc)
- Everyone wears face masks in enclosed spaces or when traveling or when you are sick
- Temperature checks at airports and monitored quarantine when you are sick (with a wrist band that alerts authorities if you go beyond a certain distance from your home)
- Improved public awareness of hygiene (which took hold of Hong Kong after SARS and is now one of the reasons why the public in Hong Kong behaved so well during this outbreak)
