First Patient of Tear Gas-caused Lung Damage Signs DNR and Supports Teaching of Medical Students by Signing up to be "Silent Mentor"
Dr Kenneth Kwong Si-san, former lecturer at CUHK, stated today (Feb 17) on Facebook that possibly the first patient in Hong Kong to be diagnosed with tear gas-caused lung damage had signed DNR, and hoped to be treated by Professor David SC HUI of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics in CUHK.
Kwong stated that the patient signed up to be a "silent mentor", a body donation scheme for anatomical examination in relation to teaching and research. As patients suffered from tear gas-related diseases had always been treated by Professor Hui, he wishes Hui and his team at Prince Wales Hospital would tend to the patient who now currently resides in Tuen Mun Hospital.
Kwong also quoted the patient, who expressed his wish to receive palliative care with dignity, become a "slient mentor", and be treated post mortem by Pasu Ng Kwai-lun, embalmer of "slient mentors" at CUHK.

Government Issues No Masks to Cleaners, Many Forced to Wash and Reuse Old Masks
The ongoing epidemic has caused a continuous shortage of mask supplies, and outsourced cleaners are among the first to be affected. A survey conducted in February showed that 30% of cleaning companies have not provided their employees with masks. Among those who were provided masks, around 40% of them received less than one mask a day.
A cleaner mentioned that “we were given one during Chinese New Year, then (the company) asked us to wash it and re-use”. Many cleaners were forced to wash and re-use them, causing the masks to wear out and some were even damaged. Unions urges government to increase masks supply.

Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai denied another bid for bail in national security case
Hong Kong’s High Court denied another bail application on Feb 18 to media tycoon and Beijing critic Jimmy Lai, the most high-profile person to be charged under the Chinese-ruled city’s national security law.
The Court of Final Appeal ruled early Feb that a lower court’s decision last year to grant him bail applied “an erroneous line of reasoning,” but allowed Lai’s team to make a new application for bail to the High Court.
Lai has been in custody since Dec. 3, except for when he was released for about a week last year before his bail was appealed by the prosecutors and subsequently overturned.
