Most of those routes, with the exception of Jakarta-Bali, are in countries that have managed the virus well enough to avoid recurring/permanent lockdowns like in the US and Europe.
When Asian countries had to lock down, they were super strict. See Da Nang (Vietnam) in August.

- bobthepanda 6y agoThe strict health response also needs to be fast enough to actually have an effect. NYC had very strict measures in its first lockdown but because of the timing it was closing the barn doors after the horse left. If you get bad, it doesn't seem possible to revert to much lower without an extremely long, extremely strict lockdown (Wuhan was 76 days, for which you couldn't even really leave your home and party cadres were running food for people.)
