For months, epidemiologists have been warning that outbreaks in poor and densely populated areas pose the greatest risk. Brazil, South Africa and urban India are seeing a mass rise in cases. The cities in Southeast Asia are just as overcrowded and underserved. Yet, somehow, mysteriously, contagion has been kept in check.

But there are three factors that could help the region persevere, starting with social cohesion. We&#x2019;ve witnessed first-hand the willingness of Asia&#x2019;s communities from Tokyo to Hanoi to take the threat of contagion seriously.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Social Cohesion </span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Governments in this part of the world - and in gross contrast to Western nations - acted quickly to lock down and enforce the rules of social distancing. With rare exception, hundreds of millions of people did as they were told. Why? Maybe because most feel it&#x2019;s their social obligation. For others, contagious disease isn&#x2019;t a novelty, it&#x2019;s a reality. Proximity to death &#x2013; go figure - makes people wiser and more cautious. Oddly, these are real life lessons lost on those in the West who live in a state of relative wealth and privilege.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Economic Determination</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Beyond social cohesion, there&#x2019;s a level of economic determination and resiliency endemic to this part of the world. There&#x2019;s a reason why Asia has experienced a meteoric economic rise in recent decades, thanks in large part to its virtuous workforce. In good times and bad, the Asian work ethic knows no bounds. Covid-19 might pose a set-back, but it won&#x2019;t crush the resiliency of its people.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Trust in Government </span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The third of three factors is trust in government. To be frank, this has come as a bit of a surprise. The last decade has seen its share of political volatility among countries in the region. Nothing extreme, but enough in places like the Philippines, Malaysia, and Myanmar to elicit new levels of mistrust. Unlike the US, where the Covid crises has amplified political rivalries and further divided a nation, the Coronavirus appears to have unified nations in Asia that &#x2013; for at least the time being &#x2013; have shelved political differences in defense of the common good.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">So how will this story end? Hard to say. Some say the pandemic will come in waves and that markets spared to date may find themselves griped in crises a few months hence. Others believe that come what may, emerging Asia is braced, positively prepared, and entrusted by an unspoken pact between governments and its people. The world needs some good examples of how to behave in a crises.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I say, look to Asia.&#xa0;</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class=" editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="100%" align="" valign="top"> <div class="gl-contains-image"> <table class="editor-image editor-image editor-image-vspace-on editor-image-hspace-on" style="min-width: 100%;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" style="padding: 10px 20px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block;

Adam and his firm have made it their business to understand the economic and geopolitical complexities that inhabit this part of the world. In this conversation, we unpack some of the challenges the region faces from the Coronavirus outbreak to the rising influence of its neighbor to the north &#x2013; China. As my conversation with Adam reveals, investors are swarming, supply-chains are shifting, and confidence is mounting. The sub-region&#x2019;s ability to weather and managed the Covid-19 crises will either make or break the rate of that ascendance. Much is yet to be seen.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Politically, the US has distanced itself from the region for all the wrong reasons and at precisely the wrong time. US investors and multinationals operating in this part of the world aren&#x2019;t happy about that. Layer in China&#x2019;s ambitions and the fact that it is now the region&#x2019;s largest trading partner and the possibility for one of two scenarios emerges.</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 10px; line-height: 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0;" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img style="display: block; width: 5px; height: 10px;" alt="" width="5" height="10" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 5px; line-height: 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0;" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img style="display: block; width: 5px; height: 5px;" alt="" width="5" height="5" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></td> <td class="split feature editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="50%" align="left" valign="top" style="background-color: #F4F4F4;" bgcolor="#F4F4F4"> <div class="gl-contains-image"> <table class="editor-image content-image" style="min-width: 100%;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <a href="http://www.insideasiapodcast.com/risky-business/"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="285" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="https://files.constantcontact.com/41ca3c44701/727b19f6-a91d-4b62-81b4-cfe757d1246a.jpg"> </a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div><div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Click photo to link and listen</span></div></div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text " align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Dane Chamorro:</span></div> <div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Risky Business</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">| March 15, 2020&#xa0;|</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="gl-contains-text"> <table width="100%" style="min-width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="editor-text feature-text" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #6F6E6E; text-align: left; display: block; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.2; padding: 10px 20px;"> <div></div> <div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div> <div><span style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">This week I&#x2019;m in conversation with Dane Chamorro, senior partner at Control Risks.

In the first half of our discussion, we celebrated his organization&#x2019;s efforts to combat and largely eradicate malaria in the region. But we also discussed the inevitable rise of other infectious and contagious diseases. It&#x2019;s a spooky harbinger of the dawning of Covid-19. We spoke again in February. This time from an isolation chamber at the Singapore Center for Infectious Diseases. Ben reached out while in confinement telling me how he had returned from a trip to Thailand, and not feeling well, presented himself to the authorities. From his hospital bed, he shares with us his front-line experience and the Singapore response to the outbreak. A week later, he was released. Hundreds of others haven&#x2019;t been so lucky. That was a month ago. Since then Coronavirus has run rampant and just days ago, the World Health Organization declared the virus a global pandemic. </span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> <td class="mobile-hidden layout-container" width="5" style="height: 10px;
