Protest VS Coronavirus Outbreak
“This is a long, forwarded message I just received; The writer of this is truly admirable that one has the patience to do one’s best to persuade these "creatures" (to the side of the truth), just like a living buddha.
As for me, a layman, I have already given up (on these people), and flown to Japan to buy surgical masks and relax on cruises.”
// To the ones who previously supported the government and stayed silent:
Finally, there are no more “protestors” in sight. However, does this comfort you? Or does it leave you in fears worse than last year?
These past six months you once labelled those wearing masks as rioters; ironically, (masks) are the things you desperately need right now.
In these six months, you have hated those democratic advocates for disturbing the traffic; yet when the coast is clear now, you become afraid of going out as the virus scares you even more.
It is much more dangerous than the “cockroaches” you screamed and shouted at;
it disturbs every single inch of your life, leaves supermarkets without rice, food cans and disinfectants, and stirs you with fear of being infected every time you step out of your home.
You once hated politics, and your only concern is the cakes and ale.
Six months ago you blamed the Black Bloc wearers for the queues you have to endure before entering the airport; yet now you can no longer travel as you wish, as you will likely be denied entry by other countries. You no longer need to go to the airport, nor can you eat Haidilao (hotpot) in the mainland.
Six months ago you cursed the advocates of democracy for affecting your daily life, yet politics will eventually find those who do not care about them. What exactly is politics, you ask? The government leaving the mainland borders wide open and allowing the virus to spread without restraints, that is what politics is.
Remember, it is the government you once defended and supported that drives you and your family to the life-threatening coronavirus.
On 16 June, when 2 million people stepped out (and spoke up),
If you have cared more about our society,
If you have stepped up for Hong Kong,
If you have voiced out for justice,
If you have stopped blindly supporting this government,
Perhaps the overwhelming (criticisms towards the government) could force them to close the mainland borders in advance.
Maybe closing up the borders is not enough to stop the deadly virus,
but perhaps, a friend with the same view would give you a surgical mask,
and fight the unseen threat together with you.
To all the ones chose to be blind,
Please remember who are the ones that become your saving grace:
Shops under the yellow-economy circle, which Edward Yau heavily criticized;
AbouThai, founded because whistleblowers snitched on its CEO;
Li Ka-shing, who was condemned by Ng Chau-pei;
HKTV Mall, which CY Leung has given up on.
If you have the wits to do so, why not embrace the glorious blue-economy circle you once sang praises to?
Where is Mat Yeung?
Where is Kobe Dining (“Stewardess beef rice”)?
Where is Wah Kee?
Where is Ngan Lung?
Where is CY Leung?
Where is Lau Cha-kei (“Bald-headed officer”)?
Where are they in your times of need? //

Chinese Hotpot Chain Remains Open for Business Under the Risk of Spreding Coronavirus
HaiDiLao Hotpot, the well-known hotpot chain in China, remains open for business at its two-storey Yau Ma Tei branch. One of the two floors is open despite the recent news on hot pot being the “super-spreader”.
A family of 19 members was sharing a hotpot meal and 13 of them were infected with the coronavirus. On Feburary 10th, Yoshinoya, Café de Coral and Fairwood have announced that they would suspend their hot pot menu.
[Editor's note: HaiDiLao was, according to the police broadcast made to Hong Kong protesters, a place where the police like to go after work, especially their branches in Shenzhen, China]
