I'll pass. They’ve managed to f@ck over arguably one of the best places to live in Asia, famed for its free press and expression, quality of life etc etc ( cage dwellers aside and that is an abomination) in to a dystopian state, with no opposition and no kick back. In the absence of any credible restrictions, they’ve taken it to almost unconscionable levels, policy made up on the hoof, with too much plausibility given to so called SME’s, and a CHC out of control, camps, excessive testing, witch hunts, and expecting the one part of the population that’s actually doing anything for the economy to behave like automatons. The collateral and mental health damage as a result will be measured in years. It’s bad enough in so called democratic countries. Covid has given governments of various hues unbridled powers to lock up their citizens, and apply all sorts of restrictions that, frankly, should not have been tolerated. The CCP have ripped up the Basic Law a couple of decades early, and turned the place in to yet another Chinese 3rd tier city, with a massive brain and talent drain to boot. And they’re welcome to it now. Which, having spent the greater part of my working life there, is lamentable. |
100% agree. HK government is now finishing off what rioters couldn't. The total destruction of HK as a World City. I never had any problems with 1997, et al. But this is different. Much worse, and irreversible I would say

Yup, 100% spot on posts.

STW is correct, Glob is wrong.

Well. The original laconic reply. Wholly appropriate for a Greek stoic perhaps. Which I doubt from the level of rhetoric you are.
That said: given that I’ve managed to avoid the inside of a container for 21 days, have not been subjected to unnecessary incarceration in an hotel for days on end, in the vain hope that I can keep my job, or worse, keep deluding myself that my efforts will keep the shell of a formerly great company going, I know which political system I’d rather be under. And it ain’t the CCP. |

HK is been treated as what it is now, another Chinese province.

They don't like the Canton culture. Too superficial and too much drama |
It's done, the gates are open. 56 new unlinked cases.
There is no stopping that. |
and thats just the ones who were tested, so many others will either be asymptomatic or wont get tested for a cold due to the ramifications of testing positive. Reap what you sow

Yes, you'd have to be crazy to admit you have it. Soon it will start showing up from people randomly showing up in the hospital for unrelated reasons.

Old guy, hope he's vaccinated. Shame they only had one year to do so..

The researchers seem to find it in sewage first. There are several areas of Hong Kong where the virus has been detected in sewage outflows but there are no "reported" cases in the area.
I heard that DB is one, and Tung Chung another, to keep it in an aviation context. I believe it is so true that because catching it was made a crime in Hong Kong attracting a custodial sentence in a secure overcrowded hospital, it has made people hide their infections. In most other countries you do a home test and if positive go home to bed and stay clear of other people for a week. You don't have to be an epidemiologist to work out which is more effective at slowing an epidemic. |
351 cases today, 161 without traceable source.

I can smell a full city lockdown coming like in any other Chinese city and then 2 months later a return to 0 Covid policy.
At least Hongkongese are all going to be able to enjoy a pilot lifestyle. |

Unknown source cases will start to reduce soon. Only so many buildings/workplaces they can't link together. They always will attempt to minimise the unknowns because it would be a loss of face.
