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 great unwashed here haven’t heard of that variant. And frankly they don’t care. I know which system I’d rather have.

If you look at the SCMP chart which tracks the dosage by number and type, you’ll see that the Sinovac uptake is significantly higher than the Pfizer one.

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.

The useless old people in HK have finally started to get vaccinated hence the uptake of sinovac is higher

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?

Penny bay doesn't seem so bad now...

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?

as of midday today no delivery allowed to PB unless it is medicine delivered by a family member
no more food and home comforts
can it get any worse?

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

You ask can it get worse.. in the past 2 years since COVID started has it ever gotten better ?

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

Leave it to Calamity Lickspittle - she could make cancer worse.

they banking on assumption it's a mild condition. Just like Lion city.
Remember Dr. Campbell says try not to get infected too late as our immunity wanes from earlier vax.

What would happen, if you've resigned, and your visa expires while you're in mandatory quarantine/isolation?... asking for a friend

First it was the hamsters, now they’re coming for our kids!!

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 :}

So if your kid gets sick, make sure you get sick too, got it..

won’t help

you still get separated

and your small child will be tied to the bed
chest, ankles and one wrist
