Map shows surge in sulphur dioxide levels in Wuhan after coronavirus outbreak? FALSE
(20 Feb) A map has been shared tens of thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube which claim it shows elevated sulphur dioxide levels in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the epicentre of the novel coronavirus epidemic. The posts, published in multiple languages, claim the high levels of the gas could be evidence of mass cremation in and around the city. The claim is false; NASA, whose data was used to create the map, told AFP the imagery was created based on forecast figures of man-made sulphur dioxide emissions and volcano gas, not real-time satellite recordings.

MTR Admits Staff as Suspected Case of Wuhan Pneumonia after Disclosed by "MTR Secrets"; Government: No information on hand
According to a "whistleblower" Facebook page "MTR Secrets" on February 23, a station manager working at Mong Kok East Station showed symptoms like fever and has been on leave since February 21. His father was a confirmed patient of Wuhan pneumonia. This is the reason why Mong Kok East Station was disinfected with bleach earlier.
After the post was released, MTR confirmed in the evening that the family of a staff member of Mong Kok East Station was diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia, and the staff member was undergoing compulsory quarantine with his family.
Despite this, the Director of the Infectious Diseases of the Hong Kong government's Center for Health Protection, said in a press conference on February 23 that she did not have the information for the time being: "it seems that there is no such case on hand."

24-year-old Hongkonger Combating Against Rare Disease: "This disease is painful, but I don't want to die!"
24-year-old Sheryl Ng is in dire need for a lung transplant to save her life; her doctors say that this is "Sheryl's only hope". Her family is appealing to the public with type O blood to donate both their lungs after death.
Sheryl is afflicted with aplastic anaemia, a disease which caused her body to produce insufficient blood cells. Ever since developing the condition in her teenage years, Sheryl has needed frequent blood transfusions to replenish her blood cells and platelets. After receiving a bone marrow transplant late last year, however, she suffered a complication known as pulmonary vein occlusion, blocking her blood circulation. She is now in ICU where her life is sustained by heart-lung machine.
Sheryl's mother describes her as a brave and strong woman, enduring years of frequent hospital visits without complaint.
One time, Sheryl phoned her from her hospital bed saying, "this disease is painful, but I don't want to die"; Sheryl still has a lot of fight left in her. Her father said that she went through difficult emotional struggles, at one point saying that she "wanted to die", but ultimately she wanted to fight for her life to the very end. Even now, he says, she continues to research online for new information on her disease.
Sheryl's parents are hoping for a kind-hearted donor to come forward, to "extend life with life". Ever since developing the disease, they said, Sheryl's daily life is filled with restrictions: she could not go on field trips with her high school class, and she would have breathing difficulties when riding planes, roller coasters, or even simply walking up stairs.
Sheryl's wish is simply "live a normal life, and perhaps go travelling".

Residents of subdivided flats: sewage system breeding ground for virus
Editor’s note: The squalid living conditions of subdivided flats, a characteristic of many poor districts in Hong Kong, is a hotbed for many diseases and ripe for infectious outbreaks due to poor sewer and drainage design, often without U-traps, which catalysed the spread of the SARS virus within residential blocks back in 2003.
Many of Hong Kong’s impoverished live in subdivided flats, or “butchered rooms”, so called because of the intense division of residential units into multiple subleased units. These tiny units often have faulty designs in terms of waste and sewage piping, and as such pose considerable risk of spreading disease as they allow the easy transmission of bacteria and viruses.

Hong Kong Police Use Professional Cameras to Capture the Faces of Protesting Civilians
On Sunday February 23, citizens protested in Tuen Mun Park" for the second day in a row.
A large team of armed riot police, geared by photographic equipment, were deployed at the scene. Among them, a police officer was sighted holding a Canon 5D Mark IV camera with a 70-200mm lens, probably for taking close-up photos of civilians.
Although the police was equipped with very professional photographic equipment, they were found not knowing well about the equipment. When a reporter was taking photos with a wide-angle lens, frontline police stopped and questioned him for taking close-up headshots of police officers. The reporter had to present a photo to prove that the wide-angle lens were for ambiance shots instead of close-ups. It seems that police officers were very concerned about their close-ups being captured by the press.
