[Wuhan citizen visited severely affected hospitals and witnessed a funeral home removing 8 body bags]
[Taken into police station at night after publicly releasing footage]
(2 Feb) A Wuhan citizen, Fang Bin, visited several severely affected hospitals in Wuhan. At Wuhan No. 5 Hospital, he filmed 8 body bags being removed from the hospital in 5 minutes. He also recorded a devastating scene where a man had just stopped breathing and his son was mourning hysterically by his side.
Shortly after the footage was released online, Fang was taken away by the authorities for suspicion of “possible infection from visiting the hospital”.
Upon his release, we were able to contact Fang. He stated: “They brought me to the police station, accusing me of detonating a nuclear bomb for shooting negative material and dead bodies. [They said] I should have shown the positive side, like how to fight the epidemic. They claimed I had caused distress.”
He speculated that the news of his confinement had spread widely online. The authorities feared his arrest could backfire and subsequently decided to release him.
According to non-governmental statistics, more than 300 individuals were arrested, warned or fined for spreading rumours relating to the recent epidemic throughout the country.

HA Employees Alliance: Over 2400 Employees Participate in Strike, Will Meet With Hospital Authority
The Hospital Authority Employees Alliance had started the first stage of its strike campaign today. Ivan Law, the vice-chairperson of the Alliance, stated that over 2400 employees have joined the strike as of then. He stated that the Hospital Authority wished to speak with the Alliance between six and seven in the evening, with Chief Executive of the Hospital Authority Tony Ko Pat-sing, and Head of Human Resources at the HA Head Office Pang Fei-chau. He expressed his dissatisfaction with Chief Executive Lam's absence for the upcoming meeting.
He emphasized that they do not want the public to have the view that the Alliance is not trying it's best to communicate with the government, and because of this, agreed to the meeting. He reiterated that the meeting should be publicized, stating that having a private session is completely meaningless, as the demands of the Alliance are clear.
Law stated that the strike would be forced to enter into its next stage if Chief Executive Carrie Lam refuses to answer the demands, "Whoever started the trouble should end it. If the government refuses to close its borders [against China], other problems such as the shortage of medical supplies will not be resolved."

Medical staff goes on strike to demand lockdown on border with China, worried resource constraints would put medical staff in unnecessary danger
In Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the anger was immense as witnessed on the first day of strike, which was initiated by medical staff to urge for lockdown on HK-China border to curb the widespread of the Coronavirus.
The strike showed medical staff's clear resentment that Carrie Lam administration refused to block the HK-China border, while doctors and nurses are fighting against the epidemic in the front line. With extremely limited resources, it is equivalent to exposing the lives of doctors and nurses to unnecessary risks, which is no different from pushing them to death.
Hong Kong people, in general, are supportive of the strike and their objectives are well aligned : Seal the Hong Kong-China border, halt the spread of Coronavirus.

SARS Frontliners Demanded Border Closure; Taiwan Observing Organisation Called for Opposition to Show their Stance
A nurse, who was one of the frontline staff against SARS, joined the strike. When interviewed, she humbly explained that medical staff genuinely wanted to assist patients. However, resource constraint is a real issue that needs to be effectively dealt with, so that medical staff can deliver their work. She believed that locking down the border between Hong Kong and China is a practical solution. Although she worried about the undesired consequences for participating the strike, she believed that she ought to pursue the right thing.
Representatives of the Taiwan Medical Association came to Hong Kong to observe the ongoing strike. The Association expressed respect to medical staff in Hong Kong and they asked those objecting the strike, likely a minority, to come forth to the public and show their stance.

Hong Kong medical workers kick off a strike today; flight attendants are planning to follow suit
When the government was reluctant to seal the HK-China border to curb the Wuhan pneumonia from spreading into Hong Kong, medical staff went on strike today (February 2) after their latest demand for a rational dialogue was bluntly refutef by Carrie Lam administration yesterday.
Employees of the aviation industry are often exposed and vulneravle to the risk of Coronavirus. Hence, labour unions are initiating possible actions to protect their members by organizing a strike. The Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Flight Attendants Association called for an emergency meeting on February 8 to solicit members’ support for a strike.
Some staff members of Cathay Pacific have called in sick today through February 8, said the Association Chief Executive, Sienna Miller in a radio interview this morning.
Miller criticized management of Cathay Pacific for delaying their decision to stop flights to and from China, which was described as an open flood gate for mainlanders to leave China, disregarding health of flight attendants. It was reported that at least 6 crew members of Cathay Pacific and Dragonair were considered to have had close contacts with potential Wuhan pneumonia victims, and they were ordered to be sent to an isolation camp by the Department of Health.

District Councilor Shops 4 Bags of Face Masks from Japan for Hong Kongers In-need
When the HKSAR government refused to shutdown borders connecting China, allowing potential Coronavirus carriers to flood into Hong Kong, local citizens have been left scrambling for food stuff, masks and disinfection items.
Sourcing for face mask has probably been one of the biggest and toughest tasks of every family in Hong Kong since last week.
Jocelyn Chau, District Councilor of North Point went all the way to Japan and purchased 4 large bags of face masks for the people in need of it in Hong Kong.
She is not irrational. This would not have been necessary if the government is one that listens and cares about its citizens.

Government: Building Isolation Camps Without Bidding; Refuses to Answer the Origins of the Materials
Apple Daily quoted various sources and revealed that the government is expanding the Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village for a temporary isolation camp. At the moment, around 11 white container houses have been placed at the basketball court and the cycling area, each installed with windows and doors with an estimated size of about 100 square feet. The newspaper learned that the contractor of the project was China State Construction International Holdings Limited (CSCI), a Chinese-funded corporation. While the expansion would be rounded up within 1-2 months, the camp would be functional during the construction. Sources doubted that the containers were second-hand containers manufactured in China, and were worried that they were sent to Hong Kong without standardized disinfection treatment.
The Apple Daily has received several photos taken when CSCI staff and workers began construction, who also held a banner that said “Activation of the Hong Kong Emergent Epidemic Prevention Isolation Centre Project”. A CSCI employee revealed to the reporter, that this project still remains in the dark. Staff members of the company’s Hong Kong headquarters knew little about it, and he had no clue how many in the photos were from mainland China. “On the one hand you are building isolation camps; on the other hand, you are attracting mainlanders to come to Hong Kong. The inconsistencies!”

Civilian arrested for going against Government's unconsulted plans for Mei Foo quarantine camp
Riot police arrested a man in Mei Foo Sun Chuen on Sunday, February 2 during a rally organised by residents to refute the government's plan to convert a heritage site into a quarantine camp nearby one of the top 5 most densely populated residential community in Hong Kong.
The man was sighted at the scene, chanting slogans. In the course of arrest, riot police deloyed pepper spray and aggressively shoved reporters aside.
Editor Note: While the appeal to revoke a court ruling which uplifted the Government's mask law is still ongoing, it has become necessary for citizens to wear face masks to protect themselves from the deadly coronavirus. Police officers have also been wearing surgical masks instead of the regular black ones while on duty.
