Journalist: Why Hong Kong Medical Staff are In Inferior Protective Gown Compared to the Police?
A building in Tsing Yi housing estate had to be evacuated after 2 residents had contracted the novel coronavirus.
The frontline medical staff at the scene were wearing the half transparent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suit while the police were donning the more secured Tyek coverall.
In a press conference held by the Department of Food and Hygiene and the Hospital Authority (#HA) journalist asked why medical staff, who have to be in close proximity with the potential infected, were in inferior gear compared to the police officers who only had to stand guard at the building.
The representative from HA claimed “there were different procedures with different departments. I am sure not what their risk assessment is. I only know that our procedure is up to standard”.

Stinky Sewage Liquid, Dust and Stains: Poor Sanitary Condition in Tuen Mun Hospital Dormintory
Hong Kong's Tuen Mun Hospital is notorious in the medical sector for being “hellish”, especially for their nurse’s dormitories. During the coronavirus outbreak, many medical workers decided to move into the hosoital dormitory provided by the hospital, in order to avoid infecting their family members after coming into close contact with coronavirus patients. However, the living condition of the dormitories provided by the hospital is far below standard.
According to medical staff, stinky sewage liquid in black came out from the water faucet in the washroom for at least 10 minutes. The stained-filled mattresses, countertops, floor tiles and rugs were covered in dust. The poor sanitary conditions in these dormitories showed a lack of maintenance and cleanliness over a long period of time.

Hospital Authorities Launch Political Revenge on Staff On Strike, Hong Kong Medical Doctors Fear to Become the Next Li Wenliang
A number of labor unions including the Hospital Authorities Employment Association (HAEA) have plans to go on strike in protest of the national security law in Hong Kong.
Fan Hung-Ling, chairman of the Hospital Authorities (HA) called the plan to strike "political", violating the neutrality of the HA, and that would not succeed.
The Hospital Authorities even hired a team of lawyers to study the legal issues related to the strike back in February.
Fan said that the human resource department would be responsible for following up on the previous strike, but he did not disclose the costs associated with hiring the lawyers.
According to Law Cheuk-Yiu, the vice-chairman of HAEA, many are concerned that after the implementation of the national security law, medical personnel will not be able to speak freely. The situation might get worse like what happened to the late Dr. Li Wen Liang in Wuhan China. Dr. Li was a whistleblower warning of the Covid-19 outbreak in China. He was accused by the Communist government for disseminating fake news and eventually died of the disease.
Similarly, Hong Kong microbiologist and SARS expert Professor Yuen Kwok-yung has been heavily criticized in China, after he criticized China’s handling of the pandemic in a paper. With the implementation of the national security law, Law said, no one can guarantee if medical staff can tell the truth in the future.
Law also criticized Fan, the chairman of the HA, for having a double standard when Fan claimed that medical staff should not talk about politics nor have a political stance. Law pointed out that how Fan hastily characterized potential strikes as "political strikes" is precisely being political and suppressive. Law reiterated that if medical staff are afraid to tell the truth because of the national security law in the future, it will ultimately affect the treatment of the patients.

(3 Aug) From ancient China's Four Great Inventions to the Four Great New Inventions in modern times, from combating financial "predators" to building a mobile cabin hospital in the Asia Expo for Hong Kong, perhaps free-ride is actually the greatest invention in China. If the U.S. is angered by China's theft of intellectual property rights again, perhaps Hongkongers should say "First Time?".
#IfItWasntForChina
-- Voluntary Post: clarification on behalf of others --
In the past few days, I have seen the following photos in many group chats. Many have expressed their gratitude to the Chinese National Team for the establishment of the mobile cabin hospital in Hong Kong.
However, I would like to clarify on behalf of my friends who are involved in this project that this temporary hospital at the Asia Expo was "built by the staff of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority (HA), with their own efforts".
The National Team came to do the testing and assisted with the subsequent modifications, but was not involved in the "establishment" of the temporary hospital. They were probably not in Hong Kong during the establishment.
I know there are many things that the HA has not done as well as expected, and many of my friends have also said that there is much room for improvement in this temporary hospital. But where they have done well, we should encourage them, and we should not pass the successes and mistakes of their efforts to others.

Hospital Authotity: Staff took part in strike will face possible legal consequence
Many medical staff took part in the strike in February 2020 in a bid to pressure the government to lockdown the city’s boarders and to curb the rapid spreading of the coronavirus and safeguad public health.
Not only thst the Hospital Authority (#HA) challenged cause of the strike, Chairman of HA, Henry Fan Hung-ling also intimidated medical staff who partook in the strike with possible legal consequence in early June.
On September 24, Fan claimed that the Authority has received detailed legal opinion from external lawyers. The Human Resource department will soon issue letters to those absent from work coinciding the period when the strike was staged. They will be asked to state reasons for their absence and based on the stated reason, follow-up actions will be carried out.
An estimation of several thousands of medical staff would be involved.
When being asked whether dismissal could be one of the possible consequences, Fan refused to reply. He also declined to address whether salary deduction is possible, saying, “I do not want to comment on any penalty measures today.”

Hospital Authority Retaliates on Medical Workers Indiscriminately
Hong Kong Hospital Authority Employees' Association (#HAEA) initiated a 5-day strike in early 2020, calling on the Hong Kong Government to close all the borders to stop the spread of the Coronavirus from China to Hong Kong. Thousands of medical workers had joined the strike.
Since then, the Hospital Authority (#HA) had threatened its employees multiple times with regard to the strike. In February 2020, the authorities issued letters to medical workers and demanded an explanation on their "absence" during the days of the strike.
In the Radiology Department of Princess Margaret Hospital, several medical workers had joined the strike. The management demanded the department head Dr Ma Ka-fai to hand in a name list of the relevant employees. Dr Ma refused.
According to Stand News, the Human Resources Department recently sent an email to all doctors in the Radiology Department, claiming they had all joined the strike. Vice chair of the union HAEA Law Cheuk-yiu condemned the HR Department for pressuring the Radiology Department.

The Fall of Hong Kong
On Jan 22, 2020, Hong Kong recorded its first "highly suspected" coronavirus case, to cite from Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan.
The case was a 39-year-old man of Chinese nationality who had travelled to Wuhan and arrived in Hong Kong from China via the high speed train.
One year has passed. The total number of #COVID19 cases in Hong Kong hit nearly 10,000 and cost the life of 168 people.
On Jan 22, 2021, the Hong Kong's Hospital Authorities (#HA) even issued a letter to its employees, demanding them to return their salary during the strike.
In 2020, medical workers went on strike for the first time in history, demanding nothing but the shutdown of the border with China, in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
In response to the authorities, the Hospital Authorities Employees Association (#HAEA) chairperson Yu Wai-ming said "then why didn't you close the border back then?"

Hong Kong's #COVID Hospital Switches Computer to Chinese for Mainland Medics, but Needs Local Staff to Retype in English
The first batch of Chinese mainland medical staff arrived in Hong Kong in March 14, 2022, and are assigned to work at the temporary #AsiaWorldExpo isolation facility.
In preparation, the computer system for clinical management at the facility has been changed to display Chinese.
The President of Hong Kong Public Doctors' Association, #LingSiuChiTony, revealed in a radio interview that after discharging a patient from the makeshift hospital, Hong Kong medical staff have to retype the documents by mainland medics before submitting them to the #HospitalAuthority (#HA) network, as Hong Kong's medical records system is in English. He was also concerned about the diagnosis process; although most of the mainland staff were from Guangdong -- where Cantonese is spoken -- their medical as well as conversational language both have differences from those used by Hongkongers.
The mainland medical staff serving in the COVID hospital are exempt from registration. Although the HA claimed to take responsibility for them, if a medical incident were to occur, it would be difficult to hold them responsible.
"Since they (mainland staff) are not locally registered, we cannot hold a disciplinary hearing on them or revoke their license. By the time of the hearing, they may have left Hong Kong already."
