Police Makes Illogical Demands, Disperses "Illegal" Crowds in Private Area
2114 - 2124 | Mei Foo Sun Chuen
After violent assaults on civilians by the police just 30 minutes ago, which stirred outrage among civilians present, riot police could be seen on standby with tear gas equipment.
A Media Liaison from the police asked repeatedly for reporters on-site to clear a path for them, as they claimed that "they could not see clearly whether residents directly above them were "shouting profanities [at them] or throwing stuff [on them]."
Riot police kept recording the on-goings with their video cameras, and accused the residents above for "incentivizing the people". They then advanced and dispersed crowds on the platform of the residence, which is considered part of a private area. This caused further outrage among residents, who called for the police to leave.

Riot Police Violently Assault Young Civilian in Mei Foo
The new coronavirus continues to spread, as the Hong Kong government refuses to close Hong Kong-China border. Instead of curbing the source of the coronavirus (i.e. from China) as medical experts had suggested, the government set up isolation camps in densely populated districts in Hong Kong.
Mei Foo residents opposed the government's unconsulted plan to transform a heritage site into a quarantine camp. In the evening of Feb 2, police violently subdued civilians, as the video captured.

Virus detected in stool of patients with novel coronavirus
According to Dr Ho Pak Leung, the Director of The Hong Kong University Infection and Infectious Centre, the stool samples of the first eight patients infected with the novel coronavirus in Macau were all tested positive for the virus. This shows that the virus could be transmitted through the stool, which was similar to the case of SARS in 2003. The SARS virus could survive in stool for 14 days.
Dr. Ho reminds citizens to close the toilet lid when flushing and make sure there is water in the U-shaped sewage pipe in the household.

Protest VS Coronavirus Outbreak
“This is a long, forwarded message I just received; The writer of this is truly admirable that one has the patience to do one’s best to persuade these "creatures" (to the side of the truth), just like a living buddha.
As for me, a layman, I have already given up (on these people), and flown to Japan to buy surgical masks and relax on cruises.”
// To the ones who previously supported the government and stayed silent:
Finally, there are no more “protestors” in sight. However, does this comfort you? Or does it leave you in fears worse than last year?
These past six months you once labelled those wearing masks as rioters; ironically, (masks) are the things you desperately need right now.
In these six months, you have hated those democratic advocates for disturbing the traffic; yet when the coast is clear now, you become afraid of going out as the virus scares you even more.
It is much more dangerous than the “cockroaches” you screamed and shouted at;
it disturbs every single inch of your life, leaves supermarkets without rice, food cans and disinfectants, and stirs you with fear of being infected every time you step out of your home.
You once hated politics, and your only concern is the cakes and ale.
Six months ago you blamed the Black Bloc wearers for the queues you have to endure before entering the airport; yet now you can no longer travel as you wish, as you will likely be denied entry by other countries. You no longer need to go to the airport, nor can you eat Haidilao (hotpot) in the mainland.
Six months ago you cursed the advocates of democracy for affecting your daily life, yet politics will eventually find those who do not care about them. What exactly is politics, you ask? The government leaving the mainland borders wide open and allowing the virus to spread without restraints, that is what politics is.
Remember, it is the government you once defended and supported that drives you and your family to the life-threatening coronavirus.
On 16 June, when 2 million people stepped out (and spoke up),
If you have cared more about our society,
If you have stepped up for Hong Kong,
If you have voiced out for justice,
If you have stopped blindly supporting this government,
Perhaps the overwhelming (criticisms towards the government) could force them to close the mainland borders in advance.
Maybe closing up the borders is not enough to stop the deadly virus,
but perhaps, a friend with the same view would give you a surgical mask,
and fight the unseen threat together with you.
To all the ones chose to be blind,
Please remember who are the ones that become your saving grace:
Shops under the yellow-economy circle, which Edward Yau heavily criticized;
AbouThai, founded because whistleblowers snitched on its CEO;
Li Ka-shing, who was condemned by Ng Chau-pei;
HKTV Mall, which CY Leung has given up on.
If you have the wits to do so, why not embrace the glorious blue-economy circle you once sang praises to?
Where is Mat Yeung?
Where is Kobe Dining (“Stewardess beef rice”)?
Where is Wah Kee?
Where is Ngan Lung?
Where is CY Leung?
Where is Lau Cha-kei (“Bald-headed officer”)?
Where are they in your times of need? //

Dictatorship leading to the epidemic out of control
(23 Jan) Revisiting an old article dated 7 Jan, the author had already reminded that if the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic hit during the Spring Festival peak travelling season, the consequences would be disastrous. The author did not have the gift of prophecy, but only predicted with common sense. Isolation is of utmost importance in combating an epidemic outbreak, and when travellers are squeezed together during the peak of traffic, there could be no isolation at all; thus, the Spring Festival peak travelling season will exacerbate the outspread of virus. This is not rocket science. But why is there no one individual cadre in the gigantic bureaucracy of the CCP who dares to stand up and call out to the central government and remind it to plan ahead?
Because there is no freedom of speech; the administration is a dictatorship and commenting on the government is not allowed.
If Xi Jinping had not spoken on this subject, no one, not Li Keqiang, not Sun Chunlan, nor the rest of secretaries of provincial party committee in Hubei and Wuhan (from top to bottom) dares to speak. Further down the hierarchy to the Wuhan Health Department and the hospital that took in the first reported case, no one dared to speak out nor to report.
During the time of SARS, Dr. Jiang Yanyong, the military doctor, were punished for disclosing “top secret”. Dr. Jiang Yanyong served as an example, who would still dare to voice out or take action?
