Infected police remains in ICU even with improved condition, Health Authority openly speaks about other patients but the police

A 46-year-old police from PTU has contracted COVID-19 earlier. He was once in critical condition and was transferred to the ICU. With an improved condition, he was reportedly still staying in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

The media repeatedly asked about the condition of the officer during the press conference held by the Department of Health and the Hospital Authority on April 10. Ho Yuen Ha, chief administration manager of the Health Authority, refused to release any information due to privacy reasons; even though she has openly spoken about other patients' health condition multiple times in the past. The Hospital Authority then replied that it has always respected their patients' privacy, and never intended to make any patient's public.

Mocking Trump's Medical Privilege, Chinese Officials Humiliated Themselves when their Superior Privilege Exposed

U.S. President Trump was hospitalized for the treatment of COVID-19 infection, and the Chinese officials took advantage of the opportunity, viciously attacking Trump. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Hua Chunying, said that Trump received medical treatment with privilege. The Chinese netizens, however, mocked that the Official-privilege feature is the most common in China, in which senior officials seized 80% of the medical resources in the country when the citizens could only fend for themselves.

After President Trump was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying posted on Twitter on Sunday (October 4) that "Yesterday, the U.S. reported 47,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 600 deaths. The suffering faced by these patients is heartbreaking. I sincerely hope that all American patients will receive 'first-class' treatment, like the president."

But the post immediately caused bombardment by Chinese netizens. They satirized Chinese officials for occupying medical resources.

Mr. Zhou, a legal profession, said Hua's remarks triggered a backlash from netizens, who were the most upset about the privileges of the Communist Party's bureaucracy. Mr. Zhou pointed out that the privileges of Communist Party officials actually covered all areas, including birth, old age, sickness, and death. Each province had jails just for the officials at the bureau level, and their treatment was far beyond the ordinary jails. Senior officials could even enjoy special care in prison. Including the privilege of medical resources, the feature of privilege began early since CCP's Yan'an times, and the state apparatus maintained the unjust system. The authority could suppress any criticism of this privilege.
