Reading between the lines of the article on rthk, I think these lads had been caught/accused of gambling in the past. Hard to prove that though unless you monitor them for ages. A group gamble near where I run. Sometimes as many as 50+
Occasionally the police show up and they just toss the cards in a bush and disperse. This gave police a reasonable excuse to exact a little payback on a nuisance crowd.
Not ‘airborne’ as such. From what I have read it is carried in droplets exhaled through sneezing and coughing. Maybe heavy breathing (jogging for example) or loud talking (quite a common feature from locals and Americans!) The largest droplets will fall, smaller May hang in the air for a longer time.Original Post Deleted
So in the open air it seems to be acceptable that keeping a reasonable distance is acceptable (2 metres being the thing in UK)
yes ‘stay at home’ is the thing in the UK but not in Hong Kong, My wife is required by her employer to go in to work everyday even though she could easily do the same work remotely. The journey to work on a crowded bus and MTR is the dangerous bit.
We are happy to go for a hike in the hills and if I see someone coming my way I make sure I give a much space between us as possible.
The rest of the time wear masks, distance, wash hands after every journey or public place where we might have touched something, be hyper careful.
yes stay at home is probably the safest option but not always possible or desirable.
