Why does Hong Kong still have a 21 day quarantine policy?
Not mine. Saw this on the HK quarantine Facebook group. Thought-provoking 👍 what do you think?
" Why does Hong Kong still have a 21 day quarantine policy?
Why does the WHO and every other government on the planet believe that the virus has a maximum incubation period of 14 days? This policy continues without even the slightest hint at any scientific evidence to back it up.
Oh, how about the positive cases on the day 19 test?
Here's the problem,people are tested upon arrival and 12 days later and then again on day 19, the answer for those positive cases is right there and very apparent. If there were other cases worldwide found after 14 days of quarantine then the answer could be doubtful,but there isn't,so Hong Kong remains the only place on the planet that people 'apparently' become positive after 14 days,but in reality that seems impossible.
Firstly there is no test on day 13, 14 or 15, and those who test positive on day 19 were almost certainly positive on one of those days, or Hong Kong has its very own variant which is different from everywhere else in the world. Or, the day 12 test was administered incorrectly in some form,and mistakes have been made with testing on repeated occasions in Hong Kong.
Another possibility is contamination and infection in quarantine, are more of these cases found in particular hotels?
I think there were only 2 cases found in Hong Kong before the 21 day policy came into effect,and it was reported that there may have been a problem with the testing of those cases,but even so,these new world record setting cases have only really appeared after the policy was implemented.
The release of CT values of those found positive on the day 19 cases would be useful and give an indication of how long they have been positive,but this is not released,this would also help scientists in Hong Kong and the world understand why the incubation period is longer in Hong Kong.
To be silent on this issue gives approval to a policy without rhyme or reason.The new 'concessions' will not help many people that are ensnared in this madness,and pressure must be maintained to end this inhumane policy."
