Corpse Discovery Cases Increased by 300 Cases Compared with the Previous Year
Since the start of the anti-extradition bill movement in June 2019, the Hong Kong Police have repeatedly classified body discovery cases as "not suspicious", raising the alarm of the public.
In response to the inquiry made by the Legislative Council's Finance Committee, the police revealed that although the number of missing persons reported last year was slightly lower than in 2018, the number of corpses discovered has increased.
Police said that there were 2,643 missing persons reported last year, which is about 400 fewer than the 3,046 cases in 2018, compared to 3,113 in 2017 and 3,519 in 2016.
However, the number of corpses discovered last year has increased. Among them, there were 8,148 "deaths before hospitalization, deaths during transport, and corpse discovery", an increase of more than 300 cases from 2018. There were also 713 cases of "falling from a height", an increase of about 40 cases compared to 2018.
The police also pointed out that the case may be reclassified after the investigation is completed, including as a suicide case. As for many Members who asked the police to provide the number of cases classified as "undoubted", the police only stated that the relevant sub-items were not kept.

Pro-Bejing Lawmaker urges retribution for striking doctors and nurses, CE Carrie Lam Refuses to Say No
Shorter version:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/19418
The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council held special meetings for four consecutive days to discuss the "Budget" and the government's fiscal expenditure for the next year. At the meeting on 8 Mar 2020, Regina Ip, a former security chief who now heads the pro-Beijing New People's Party, proposed to settle accounts with the strikers: She advised the Hospital Authority (HA) not to issue specialist qualifications to doctors who had participated in the strike.
The remarks drew the ire of pro democracy legislators, who criticized Ip for using "Cultural Revolution-style denunciation" by advocating retribution and smearing of medical staff. They emphasized that the medical workers’ strike was called to request for a comprehensive border closure so as to avoid a collapse of the medical system.
On the same day, Carrie Lam announced relief measures including the waiver of licence and registration fees for medical workers for three years. A reporter pointed out that medical workers are not asking for a waiver of registration fees.
