Bloomberg: Hong Kong Government is not ready for the third wave of outbreak
The third wave outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia happened in Hong Kong in a sudden. New confirmed cases have increased by 560 cases in 2 weeks and half of them cannot be traced to the source.
Bloomberg analysed that Hong Kong government is not ready for an unexpected third wave of the pandemic outbreak. Current anti-pandemic measures are too relaxed with many loopholes. Also, the government softened the social distancing regulation too early to give an illusion to civilians and foster the growth of disease.

HK government does not deny Carrie Lam asking for help from Chinese medical staff
Pro-CCP media Hong Kong Commercial Daily quoted from a source that Chief Executive Carrie Lam asked the central government for help. It was suggested that if the pandemic in Hong Kong continues to get worse, she hopes the Chinese government can deploy Chinese medical staff for emergency support. It was also pointed out that medical staffs in Shanghai and other cities were ready to help. ”Just one command! Experienced and well- equipped medical staff can set off to support Hong Kong.”
Apple Daily inquired of the Hong Kong government, the spokesman did not deny the accusation, but said ”we won't comment on any conjecture.”
Chan Siu-chee did not respond directly at the press conference. She merely pointed out that the Hong Kong government and the Guangdong health authorities will communicate closely on the pandemic, and the Chinese government was concerned with the situation in Hong Kong.

HAEA Urges HK Govt. to not Let Politics Take Precedence Above Everything
The Hospital Authority Employees Alliance responded to rumours of plans for Chinese medical personnel coming to "aid" Hong Kong on 22 July, stating that the Hong Kong government shouldn't damage the morale of the medical staff during the severe Wuhan Pneumonia outbreak. Also, they recommended that the pro-Beijing Hong Kong government not divert attention to hide their mistakes made in anti-epidemic measurements, stating that if politics are to take precedence above everything, Hong Kong civilians will bear all consequences.
The alliance stated that to maintain high proficiency of Hong Kong medical system, non-locally trained medical practitioners, and nurses are required to pass the licensing examination before practising in Hong Kong. Being "experienced medical staffs in anti-epidemic" doesn't mean that they are capable of practising in Hong Kong in any forms. Besides that, different culture and languages are obstacles in communication. Not only does it wastes medical staff time to communicate with so-called experience teams, it also delays the time for therapy and may cause more mistake due to miscommunication.

Sources revealed government intention to postpone September LegCo election
The third wave of Wuhan pneumonia has recently hit Hong Kong. Tam Yiu-chung, a current member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, pointed out that the epidemic may inhibit Hongkongers living in mainland China from being able to vote. Therefore, he suggested postponing the Legislative Council elections in September. The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau stated that they will continuously assess the impact of the outbreak on the election.
"Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily" quoted sources saying that the government has considered postponing the election for several reasons, including: the concerns of campaigning for votes, and the risk of disease transmission when people gather on voting day. The final decision will be made in early August. The report mentioned that the election is expected to defer for one year if the final decision is postponement. They consider one year deferment as reasonable timing.

Comic Artist Ah To: "This is the horror of the white terror"
The following was written by the artist of this comic, Ah To:
"After submitting this comic strip, I was notified by Ming Pao Weekly that my column will be terminated.
After July 1st, I received a warm reminder from the journal that the serialized content should be careful to not violate the national security law. Today, my column was to stop because of an "editorial revision." Under the current political gloom, I inevitably had all kinds of speculation... This is the horror of the white terror.
Looking back at the content of the last published comic, I couldn't help but show a bitter smile. Haha."

Villa Becomes TV Protagonists’ Home?
Property Owner Demands TV Show Takedown and Compensation
Watching the television is about relaxation, but for Ms Lam who lives in Hangzhou, it was a cause for mounting anger. She found out, while binging a television show, that her villa had become the home of the protagonists. Her own bed was slept on by the female protagonist and the wine cellar in her basement became the setting for the protagonists’ rendezvous.
Ms Lam had called the police for help, but public security said the incident did not constitute a criminal offence. In her anger, she sued all 8 of the related companies, including the property management company and the television production company. She said, “We have not even lived in the house yet, and they have already exposed it all for me. That is to say, it is only under such intolerable circumstances that I am using the law as a weapon.”
However, it wasn't until being in the courtroom that Ms Lam learned that other television shows had been filmed in the house previously, in addition to the show she watched. Then who let the television crews in? Ms Lam suspected the property management company, as she handed them the villa's keys she bought it in 2015, out of consideration that she would not reside in it over long periods. They did, however, sign a confidential agreement that the keys would only be used in emergency situations.
Twice there was a change of property management companies, and both companies claimed to have no part in the incident. The television crew also clarified that they had communicated with the developer before filming and thought the villa was a show house, and did not constitute an intrusion. Mainland Chinese media have reported that the developer in question was a dishonest company that previously had not been able to be contacted, and is included in a list of corporations with questionable operations.
Ms Lam said that much of the furniture and equipment in the villa has been damaged, including the broken elevator in the house and the entrance door fingerprint lock, as well as tainted carpets and damaged walls because of camera set-ups. She demanded that either the television series be taken down or the scenes showing the villa be removed, along with an apology and compensation of CNY$3 million, to cover losses in property and invasion of privacy.
