Even a prisoner undergoing the 'cruel and unusual punishment' of solitary confinement, gets some daily time outside to exercise!
The fact that these crew are keeping Hong Kong supplied and we can still go to Wellcome and buy fruits and vegetables and other things? That people aren't panicking about empty grocery shelves and apples costing $300 each because these pilots keep the cargo flowing in and out of Hong Kong? The fact that 5 positive flight crew cases out of hundreds of thousands of covid tests in the past two years is proof that Cathay flight crew are actually very low risk and that the draconian measures on them should be relaxed instead of tightened? The fact that due to these quarantine measures, many crew haven't seen their families in 2 years and the harsh policies actually led to an increase in divorce, social disharmony and families breaking up? The fact that many people's livelihoods, and consequently their physical, financial, emotional and psychological health depend on their jobs in the aviation sector? Why not focus on increasing the vaccination rate instead of advocating increasing torture of flight crew and further strangulation and suffocation of Hong Kong?"
