    As the city struggles to contain the risk of mushrooming local transmissions, the government continues to bring back home residents stranded in Hubei province in mainland China, where the first infections were recorded. About 500 Hongkongers have flown back aboard chartered flights since Wednesday, and the latest returnees are only required to quarantine at home and not a government-run facility.

    They were not given tracking wristbands
    and not all were required to undergo testing for the virus, as precautionary steps had been taken during the evacuation to minimise the risk of infection, said Dr Chui Tak-yi, the undersecretary for food and health. Only one returnee had so far tested positive, he said.

    Somebody please tell me they are kidding...

    Still doesn't indicate she had symptoms, which would put her in breach, might see legal challenge. Here are the current rules (an infographic wouldn't hurt).
    And another one.

    So if you've got money or know someone in legco, no quarantine for you? Brilliant.

    Spineless govenment, party on all...

    Narrative change?

    Also any false negatives from test kits?

    Learning topic for the two kids yesterday was "exponential growth". No shortage of material available at the moment. Also useful for showing the benefit and need to "stay at home".

    Did you know on the current track humanity is extinct before the end of the year? Provided another learning lesson on the need to avoid just extrapolating data.
