When will the day come, where we are finally able to take our masks off, Carrie Lam?

Part 1 - 2

A few months ago, two young protesters embraced each other and kissed in front of the camera at Prince Edward Station. They wore masks because they did not want to expose their identity.

Today, a young couple kissed each other on the street wearing surgical facemasks. They wore masks because they did not want to expose themselves to the virulent coronavirus which has been rampant around the world.

From protestors to couples embracing in masks, this shows how incompetent the government is in Hong Kong.

If the government was willing to listen to our youths, none of them would not have had to come out of the comfort of their homes to fight and resist.

If the government was willing to close the border, if would have stopped a coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong.

If not for the incompetence of the government, these youths, these citizens would not have had to wear masks, while sharing an intimate moment with each other.

When will the day come, where we are finally able to take out?

Face Mask Shortage: An Acute Problem in Hong Kong that the Government Failed to Handle; Public Demand Border Closure

As Carrie Lam encouraged the public to refer mask manufacturers' contacts to the Hong Kong government to faciliate the procurement of masks, the locals seem to understand the little hope in the government for mask supply, especially when medical workers have to purchase their own protective gears. While the shortage of mask persists, some citizens initiated the distribution of masks to help others.

A protest-friendly restaurant announced distribution of 2,500 face masks in its shops in Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O on February 10 on a first-come-first-serve basis, attracting more than 200 people to wait in line.

Owner of the restaurant, Kelvin expressed that it is imminent to stabilize supply of face mask in the market. He also called on Carrie Lam administration to fully lockdown Chinese borders, and consider regulating mask speculations.

Mr. Chan, a medical staff, came to queue up after work at about 7 am. He pointed out that mask shortage during SARS epidemic in 2003 was not as severe as it is now.

Chan said that the hospital distributes 1 mask a day for staff members to wear through work hours. He needs to purchase more to put on after work. His family is sharing 1 box among 3 members, which has forbidden him from changing the mask more often.
