If my friend who works in the medical field go on a strike – Pazu
(31 Jan) HK government paid hundred million for police gear, water cannon vehicle, armoured vehicle, long-range acoustic device (LRAD) to support the police force and their brutality, like throwing money into the sea. They were not reluctant to pay hundreds and millions of dollars for their overtime.
What sort of patients are we admitted to our hospital wards? Some were hiding the truth, and some ran away. They have obviously been to Hubei, but they did not tell. They knew they might be infected, but they remained silent. The sick ones are selfish and do not want to be quarantined. They preferred to spread the virus everywhere, spread the virus to doctors, nurses, staff in the hospital and other patients in the same hospital ward. Finally, the virus will be spread to all citizens in Hong Kong. The HK government doesn’t care.

Rewards offered for identification of individuals who “failed to report” their travel history to Wuhan. Rewards up to 2,000 yuan in Shijiazhuang, Hebei
Editor’s note: Real-name whistleblowing is a system where the whistleblower has to disclose his or her own identity at the time of reporting.
(29 Jan) In order to stop the pneumonia outbreak from spreading into the region, the authorities in a number of districts as well as the city government in Shijiazhuang, Hebei decided to offer rewards for identifying those who failed to report their travel history to Wuhan from Monday (Jan 27) until the end of the epidemic. Once the report is deemed successful, one can be rewarded up to RMB 2,000.
According to People's Daily, the Headquarters of Prevention and Control of the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic in Jingxing Mining District, Shijiazhuang made an announcement on Monday with regards to the establishment of “reporting with rewards”, effective immediately until the end of the outbreak. They stated that it was set up with aims to ensure the Wuhan pneumonia outbreak would not spread within the region and to prevent people from "failing to report" their travel history to Wuhan.
Report with rewards up to 2,000 yuan
This real-name whistleblowing scheme is targeted at anyone who returned to Jingxing Mining District from Wuhan and those who have close contact with them since January 14, 2020. Upon verification, the first whistleblower will receive 2,000 yuan for each case.
In addition, Luquan District, which also falls under Shijiazhuang City, has issued the "Rewarding Measures for Reporting Individuals who Failed to Declare Travel History to Luquan from Wuhan". If a real-name whistleblower reports travellers from Wuhan to Luhan, and if these individuals have indeed “slipped through the cracks” upon verification, the first whistleblower will be awarded 1,000 yuan.
The Shijiazhuang Zhengding County Government also implements the scheme of “reporting with awards”. Anyone who reports an individual returning home from Wuhan without registration will receive an immediate reward of 1,000 yuan upon verification.

Daughter and mother in Lam Tin suspected to be infected by father; Facebook posts of the daughter of the 17th Wuhan pneumonia patient criticized HK govt not closing border resulting in outbreak in communities
(05 Feb) The 17th patient confirmed with Wuhan pneumonia is a 60-year old male retiree. He lives in Yue Hong House (Block A) Hong Tin Court in Lam Tin and has not traveled recently. On Jan 22, he started feeling unwell. He visited four different private doctors on Jan 23, 25 and 28. Among them, one worked for Quality HealthCare Medical Services at Telford Gardens.
His daughter and mother are currently staying in isolated wards at the United Christian Hospital while they wait for test results. His daughter posted on Facebook that she did not blame medical personnel for participating in the strike. Rather, she criticized the Hong Kong government for refusing to completely close the border, allowing the outbreak to spread into the community.
She also told a reporter, "Should I not speak now instead of waiting for the government to speak on my behalf?" She refused the reporter's request for a phone interview but will consider it if her father's condition stabilizes.
Facebook post from the 17th patient's daughter (Part 1):
(04 Feb) It is confirmed that my father has #WuhanPneumonia. Our entire family has not been to Mainland China for at least half a year. It was a case of human-to-human transmission. We are unsure if the infection came from the community or from people we came across over the past three days at the hospital. Does it help now for the government to be buried alongside us?

Department of Health may have failed to warn Telford to disinfect
Summary: Once again, the Department of Health may have failed Hongkongers by neglecting to alert the local community of the confirmed case of Wuhan coronavirus infection. As a result, no extra sanitation measures were taken until after the news broke. At Quality Healthcare at Telford Gardens, where the virus carrier had previously visited, patients needed to cancel their appointments on short notice. The virus may have already spread in his residential area at Hong Ting Court, Lam Tin.

Wuhan passenger flight landed in Hangzhou despite lockdown, pilot fears: Novel Coronavirus could have been brought from Hangzhou to Hong Kong
It seems that the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, also known as Wuhan coronavirus) from Wuhan fails to be checked. In order to curb the spread of the virus, on 23 January Wuhan Mayor Zhou Xianwang finally announced a lockdown of the city with immediate effect. All public transport, including high-speed railways and airport, have ceased operation. Except for evacuation flights, ordinary passenger flights should no longer be allowed at Wuhan Airport.
On 28 January, there were two passenger flights departing from Wuhan Airport despite the lockdown. All these raise doubts whether the lockdown is a genuine one.
