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.

'Housewife' Protestor Dies of Breathing Problem, Family Suspects Tear Gas Plays a Role
During the Anti-extradition law protests in 2019, Hong Kong police had fired over 10,000 shots of tear gas, causing unprecedented harm to those who breathed in the gas.
A “peaceful, rational non- violent” female protestor in her fifties participated in multiple protests since last October, hoping to protect younger protestors as a “housewife”. She breathed in tear gas in Shatin Lucky Plaza, the Chinese University and the Polytechnic University, and was once hospitalised for breathing difficulty. On 2nd December 2019, she passed away at home due to expiratory dyspnea.
Her daughter suspected that the tear gas contained toxic matters which cause her mother’s death, and thus appealed for public attention to the consequences of tear gas. She demanded the police reveal the constituent of the gas, "If there’s no problem with the gas, why don’t they be open about it?”

New Sponge Grenades Contain Chemicals Found in Tear Gas
The Police Tactical Unit (PTU) fired sponge grenades at protesters earlier on at Times Square in Causeway Bay.
Afterwards, a new model of sponge grenades, as seen on the expended cartridge, with the model number "NT-901/CS" was left on the ground.
This particular ammunition was found to have been made in Brazil. The bullet had also been discovered to be fired from a 40mm grenade launcher, the exact same launcher they use to deploy teargas canisters. The new round in the arsenal was found to be loaded with the chemical, 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, commonly referred to as CS gas, or more commonly known as teargas.

When Phone Screen Protectors in Hong Kong Have to Withstand Tear Gas and Beanbag Rounds
A sign post by a shop selling mobile phone accessories in Hong Kong reads:
"Tear gas-proof, beanbag round-proof, tempered glass screen protectors.
Protectors with a conscience:
Discount when you show your student ID"
========
Reflection from Photographer Kevin Cheng:
"I used to think that being a student is one of the happiest times of your life.
Why, when people buy phone screen protectors in this city, do they need to think about it surviving tear gas or beanbag rounds? And the store offers a student discount ...
How mad has this city become?"
