Concerns Raised Over Public Health, As The Government do not have Full Knowledge of the Constituency of the Tear Gas Rounds Deployed
Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan Siu-chee admitted that the Hong Kong SAR Government did not know the actual constituency of the tear gas rounds deployed by the Hong Kong Police Force.
A guildeline (https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/healthtopics/content/460/102308.html) issued by the Centre for Health Protection on November 7 is supposed to inform citizens of how to deal with tear gas contamination. The public, however, have doubts on the accuracy of the information as to the type of tear gas grenades used in Hong Kong. Chan replied that the guideline was only based on the general materials available.

Hong Kong Government Resumes Schools amidst Triad Attacks and Toxic Air
After the HKSAR government 'fell' for what Carrie Lam referred to as a protesters’ “trap” and suspended schools for multiple days, the Education Bureau decided to resume classes on November 20, ignoring the chaotic traffic in multiple districts and toxic air which, filled with dioxin residues and tear gas pollution, continue to put the public's health (especially that of Secondary and Kindergarten students) at risk.
[Nov 20] The Education Bureau also continued to ignore how the Hong Kong Police Force has since June 6th violently threatened and intimidated teenagers due to their twisted and deluded sense. As class resumed, thr police stopped and conducted search on students in numerous MTR stations, causing severe service delay to train service.
In Tin Shui Wai, large group of students in school uniform were searched by riot police and while lining up across the MTR station. In the same station, pro-government supporters were filmed beating up a female student at the train carriage for over 30 seconds while yelling 'Beat her mother!'. No police showed up to stop the act.

On the same day, Hong Kong citizens called for another disobedience movement and students joined in to obstruct MTR services. Students from Yuen Long participated as well, but their school then sent teachers to find the five involved students, contact their parents for verbal warnings, and hand out disciplinary actions.
These all happened one day after Beijing announced Chris Tang as the new Police Commissioner of Hong Kong. Tang's previous post was indeed in Yuen Long, where the 721 and 731 Triad attacks and alleged police-triad collusions had occurred. It would seem the Hong Kong Police Force will head to a new direction upon the retirement of the current Commissioner Stephen Lo, but unfortunately the situation seems to be heading for the worse.
On the day Tang received his official appointment, at Shantung Street triads with axes were out on the street to intimate teenagers —astonishingly no arrests were made. There were at least two such incidents within 24 hours.

WHO Appointed Independent Investigations criticizing China for lack of Aggressive Reactions, and the WHO for Slow Reactions
The People's Vaccine Alliance, which was appointed by WHO to investigate the global COVID-19 pandemic, published an interim report. It criticized that China could be more proactive in public health precautions to stop the epidemic in January 2020 while the WHO took too long to announce COVID-19 as an international hygiene emergency.
COVID-19 was firstly found in Wuhan City, China in late 2019 and then spread to outside China which caused over 2 million deaths with a countless economic loss so far.
Alliance criticized that the regional and national hygiene department “obviously” could take more active public health precautions in January 2020. WHO convened an emergency committee meeting until the 22nd. They even were unable to immediately agree to announce the COVID-19 outbreak as a public health emergency for international concern. The verdict confirmed the agreement a week later, which was one month from the first announced case.
The report clearly expressed, “not sure why the committee had the meeting till the third week of January and why they cannot have a consensus at the first meeting”.

#CarrieLam claims "no man-made error" in #Omicron outbreak, resulting in over 7,000 deaths in Hong Kong
The #COVID19 death toll surpasses 7,000 in Hong Kong during the 5th wave of the outbreak. The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, refused to carry out a comprehensive review, saying that she and her administration should not be distracted to deal with a large-scale investigation.
During the COVID-19 briefing on March 27, 2022, Lam was asked who would be held accountable for the loss of lives and whether she would admit there were mistakes in her Covid approach and apologize to affected families.
Without addressing the questions directly, Lam denied that these were man-made mistakes. Lam insisted, “In a public health crisis, it is impossible to completely avoid these sorts of factors”.
