And so it begins...
A HK taxi driver today of mature years (65-70?) said he had at last got a first vaccination, because he was afraid of it before. "I hope it wasn't Sinovac, it is almost ineffective against Omicron" said my medical spouse in her inimical sensitive bedside manner. "Oh yes" replied the baba, "They said that only Sinovac is used on older people, the Biontech is bad for older people."
Well I suppose if you have a warehouse full of Sinovac that no-one wants you may as well flog it off to people who don't understand the science. Poor guy thinks he is immune now.

The next variant on Omicron (BA2) is showing signs it could be more severe than plain Omicron. The govt here would do better getting as many people fully vaccinated (with BioNTech) and those that don't want to should be offered a quarantine space or a hotel room until the Omicron/BA2 strain passes - the rest of us should be allowed to restart our lives.
The great unwashed here haven’t heard of that variant. And frankly they don’t care. I know which system I’d rather have.

The mind boggles.
Much of the ME and other recipients of China’s debt
trap/ sorry, wonderful Belt and Road scheme have also used Sinovac.
The mind does indeed boggle.

What on earth is this for in Kowloon Bay? To ensure everyone gets the same strain?
How long do they expect people to stay on the bed? It makes Squid Game look like a holiday camp.
Why would you want to have anything to do with the country?

The government have been busy testing everyone for Covid and have found lots and lots. Covid has been testing the government for signs of an intelligent , competent and coherent plan to deal with it and found nothing. There is no government exit strategy from this, just more restrictions, more restrictions, more restrictions. Two years and this is all looking like Groundhog Day.
Yes, but what on earth are those six people at the desk doing? And why does it need six people to oversee and supervise all those empty beds?

Compulsory mass testing in March. April will bring something worse. May will bring something much worse.

Even when the COVID numbers come down the idiots in charge double down on restrictions because "we cannot let our gaurd down"...

Cury Lamb miss Lamb, pack your bags and leave now. This giant coming wave of madness hasn't even fully begun yet. If you have little kids, pack a bag and leave. If you have a husband at CX, give him a high five and say bye, you can get another one later
