There is an article on it

243 comments many of which are 'whatabout...' in style. Most articles on the SCMP attract a dozen or so comments.

Twitter thread reads like a petty something or other rather than a journalist. Perhaps I didn't read enough tweets but the ones I did all seemed very similar. I'll let someone else correct me if they are prepared to read more than I did.

Quite the epitome of the new 'Why you can trust SCMP'. Plucked some young chap likely from a pro-establishment/anti-democracy family background who very patriotically studied abroad, bonus points for the internship with Broomhead. Pinned Tweet is most telling to be honest.

Hkgov usually ignore the experts too.. :x

Communications scholars at Chinese University, who conducted the research....

..There’s been no improvement for the past two years, why tell me the number..

..outcome of the study...officials and public institutions should avoid delivering an information overload and unclear policy messages..

..no newer solutions, like this info is supposed to be helpful to the public when it's only gd for winding up the anxiety level. Health orgs and govts.. forgotten their public role

..Public/govt roles cannot think out loud.. esp specific functions like health...The public does not need to know details of ongoing guesswork - just the conclusive verified statements when ready la

..if any scholar lurking here, pls pm me..
