Good for them! You've got to milk this cow for all it's worth.

It'll be game over for Cathay in the next few months. Those who hesitate.... (rhymes with hesitate).

don’t be irresponsible and let your kid end up with COVID then. CHP said they are only restraining kids with their parents consent and its for their own safety. Much better then having the kid fall off the bed or wander off and get injured. Let’s not forget we are in the middle of a pandemic. Hospitals are struggling to cope around the world and conditions are not much better (if at all) in the western world.

Things are fine and dandy where I am. My state (in the US) hasn't been locked down since last summer and in deaths per 1M population we rank 27th out of 50. Most of the "lockdown" states are in the top 15 in terms of death per 1M. In the US serious and critical cases currently account for a whopping .13% of total active cases. Even during the winter peak before vaccinations that was only .5% of cases. So hospitals here aren't struggling to cope, and not in the UK either. Europe, having managed to stuff up vaccinations with EU politics, is apparently suffering another wave. But even there the highest number I could find was .61% serious or critical in Italy. They will eventually get the vaccines sorted and that number will plummet. The world will move on as HKG sits in quarantine.

Your kid catching covid is not necessarily caused by any irresponsible behaviour, many have been caught out by pure bad luck.

It’s even easier to be considered a “close contact”: all it takes is for anyone (teacher, other student, cleaner) to test positive in your kid’s class and bingo! Close contact. Off to quarantine your child goes, whatever the age, no questions asked.

More Cathay bashing by the Gov.
 

Absolutely disgusting what is going on in HK!

Quite right Maindog. Best mate in Cyprus tells me of schools opening. Quick upsurge in + tests ( have a look at the testing, I say,) but classes closed the very next day. More inept handling causing absolute mayhem and very annoyed parents. All part of the agenda I am afraid. Control, isolate, confuse, anger. All working just fine eh ?

More tighter rules for Hkg aircrew..
 

May as well close shop, last one out turn off the aircon!

And the usual suspects will even be volunteering for that!

Ha ha ha ha. Imagine being this pathetic, making excuses for this deplorable treatment. Get some dignity man.

Well said. Perhaps we should chain up this individual ( purely for his own safety of course) and provide him with a set of incontinence pants. Changed every 5 days whether it’s required or not. Just so that he doesn’t irresponsibly catch Covid.
Lets not dress this up in any other way than it is. A CHP running unchecked and unbridled over every last vestige of civil Liberty. And decency.

As long as his family has been made aware, it’s totally ok right?!

how about have some dignity and leave if you hate it here so much?
