HK is one of the most Covid free places in the world so by that metric the government is doing extremely well, most of the population don’t travel anyway and seem quite happy with the situation.
Many pilots haven’t flown for well over a year so hanging around here in the hope of eventually getting current again may be the best option for now. Longer term, when you consider the cost of education and housing here CX and HK are not a viable expat option.
