Sources said Chinese from Wuhan with Pneumonial Symptoms Rushed to Hong Kong Hospitals for Treatment
Based on stories circulated in the internet and information provided by frontline medical staff, it was said that on January 23 several dozen Chinese mainlanders requested medical attention at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong.
Many are visitors from Wuhan with symptoms of Wuhan pneumonia, including fever and coughs. It has been suspected that Chinese visitors from Wuhan had penetrated the border screening between Hong Kong and China, in order to rush to Hong Kong hospitals for treatment.
Some medical staff stated that when a couple from China with high risk of having the new coronavirus were requested to stay in the quarantine ward for further observation, the couple refused and ran out of the hospital. They were only to be intercepted and brought back into the hospital.

Aggressive patient suspected Wuhan Pneumonia virus carrier attempted to strangle a medical staff and spread the virus
Editor’s Note: There is another rumour saying that patient did not travel from Hubei, possibly not Wuhan Pneumonia carrier but cannot be confirmed so far.
(25 Jan) Lawmaker Cheng Chung-tai put on his facebook page today an anonymous complaint he received from a healthcare professional.
The complainant pointed out that he was suddenly assaulted by a patient he was assisting who was suspected infected by Wuhan pneumonia, using an oxygen hose to strangle him. When another nurse came to help and subdue the patient, he grabbed the nurse's mask and pulled it off his face, threatening to spread the virus, and attempted to escape from the isolation ward.
Relevant photos and videos have gone viral on internet today. Cheng said he has in his possession, a hand-written note from respective hospital staff as an evidence. A complaint has also been officially lodged to Prince Wales Hospital and Hospital Authority, requesting a full disclosure of the incident to the public. In addition, the complainant also asked the authority to take the incident seriously and use every means to protect medical staff.
The complainant stressed in his complaint that, pneumonia has been raging in Wuhan, and decisive measures have been taken in many countries and neighboring areas of Hong Kong to prevent the epidemic. If the HKSAR Government delays closing the border and in the event of an outbreak in community, Hong Kong will be forced to go through the SARS tragedy again. He urged the authorities to block the border in a bid to protect Hong Kong from WARS outbreak.

#HSBC chief defends freezing accounts of democrats as “legally obliged”
Following thr Chinese Authorities’ imposition of National Security Law in Hong Kong, the HSBC, the city’s leading bank has been criticized for assisting the National Security Police and freezing the bank accounts of pro-democracy activists’, such as #TedHui and his family and the Good Neighbor North District Church.
In a meeting scheduled on January 26, 2021, the Bank’s CEO Noel Quinn told the Foreign Affairs Committee in the UK that the bank was "legally obliged to take action" on accounts after being notified by Hong Kong police.
In a Facebook post on January 24, 2021, former lawmaker Ted Hui Chi-fung, now in exile, said that he has provided the Committee with detailed information on the cases where his and his families accounts were frozen.
Ted Hui added that any bank, business or institution that assists in repressing the freedom of Hong Kong people would have to pay a heavy international price and that he would do everything possible to make them face the consequences.
In a letter to Hui in early January, Quinn explained that the bank was "forced" to freeze the accounts at the request of the police. Hui, however, rejected Quinn’s explanation, saying he “failed to provide the legal basis” for the account lockdown.

Chinese Netizens Slam Keanu Reeves for Plan to Attend Concert by Tibet House, Call for Boycott of Matrix 4
Chinese netizens have slammed the Canadian actor #KeanuReeves for his plan to attend an online charity concert hosted by the #TibetHouse on #Mar03 US time, calling for a boycott of his new film.
Hosted annually since 1989, the concert has featured a roll call of prominent musicians including David Bowie. Proceeds from the concert go to the Tibet House, formally known as the Culture Centre of H. H. the Dalai Lama, an international nonprofit organisation dedicated to preserving, displaying and protecting traditional Tibetan culture.
Reeves is himself a musician, having been the bassist of the band Dogstar in the 90s. He is reportedly areligious but interested in Buddhism. Years ago, he starred as Prince Siddhartha in Little Buddha, a biopic about the Gautama Buddha.
Chinese netizens are upset by Reeves’ plan to attend the concert. Some denounced it as an “insult to China”, while others consider it a show of “support for breaking up Chinese territory” and called for a boycott of #TheMatrixResurrections, his latest film.
A netizen claimed that while they have been a diehard Matrix fans, they “will not contribute a penny to its box office numbers”. Others said they are happy they can “now save a few bucks”, with some telling Reeves to “stay away from politics if [he] know[s] nothing about it”.
Reeves has not responded to the criticism.
