Pneumonia is Happening

Concerning some claims saying that the coronavirus did not come from China, Yuen said it is obviouly a problem to sell wild animals in densely populated urban area.
Yuen said, "If you do not respect the life of wild animals: you sell them, you eat them, and their viruses enter human body. 17 years has psssed [since 2003 SARS outbreak from China] but o
people did not learn any lesson."

Hong Kong Police Accuse Civilians Queueing Up to Enter Courtroom of Breaching the Gathering Ban
1411 | High Court
The hearing of the 47 arrested pro-democracy activists began on Mar 1, 2021 in Hong Kong. On Mar 6, the bail appeal of 11 activists is reviewed.
Citizens queued up outside the court, hoping to get a seat in the court room to show support for the pro-democracy activists who were charged with "conspiracy to subverting state powers" for participating in the primary elections in July 2020.
Over a loudspeaker, the Hong Kong Police, however, accused the citizens of violating the gathering ban (#599G).
The police requested all civilians holding a ticket to line up and have their personal information recorded before entering the court.
In fact, under the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance, people in a queue should be exempted.
Journalists challenged the "standard" police in executing gathering restriction.

Danish politician admits fear of personal safety, alleging threats from CCP
Ted Hui, a prominent pro-democracy lawmaker in Hong Kong, who was heavily involved in the anti-ELAB movement went into an exile in the UK in December 2020. Several Danish politicians reportedly offered Hui their assistance. Among them was Anders Storgaard, ex-chairman of the Danish Conservative Youth Committee.
On March 6, Storgaard wrote on his Facebook, stating that a month ago, he received a phone call from local police in Denmark. The officer reminded him that if he is going to leave Denmark in the future, he should first coordinate with Danish intelligence agencies.
Storgaard admitted that he was startled to learn that his personal safety is in danger and he felt his body tremble when hearing the news.
Storgaard expressed that he enjoys international political affairs which brought to him unique experiences like involvement in Turkish hegemonism. However, owing to safety concern, he has to withdraw from most of these involvement.
Although Storgaard did not mention that the threat was coming from the CCP in China, he did pointed out that threats are means commonly deployed to silence dissidents in China. Storgaard stressed that it is wrong to think that he would be silenced.
He further elaborated that his sacrifice is insignificant compared to the young protesters in Hong Kong who risked their lives for democracy. He felt no regrets.
