Want to try something new and see if it works out this week. An all in one thread about HK news and people's opinions.
As it seems, Covid-19 seems to be under control - no clue if the new local infection over the weekend will create a new cluster or not. Let's hope it does not.

Also in the news locally, a lot of arrests. Will this spark and another series of protests provoked by foreign influence and will the local authorities wonder why HKers are so ... whatever.The patient's daily work is to direct passengers coming in from the UK through baggage claim and immigration. The Centre for Health Protection's Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan said she might have come into "indirect contact" with some confirmed patients at the airport.

They were charged with leading and/or participating in unlawful assemblies during the protest movement last year, in particular protests on 18 August, 1 October and 20 October.
