    HK - Running out of coffins

    The last sentence of that link reads

    'On supplies from the mainland, Lam said three batches of coffins are on the way, amid reports Hong Kong is running out.'

    Yes local media says that max 2-3 days of coffins left. Can't find the link right now it's either in ST or HK01 or Mingpao

    For a second I was hoping you'd typed stiff..

    Found a follow up to the shortage:

    Food and Health Bureau immediately reported to the mainland authorities that the coffins were essential supplies for Hong Kong and that they should be given priority. The mainland responded quickly. On Monday and Tuesday (14th and 15th), 180 coffins arrived in Hong Kong by land and sea respectively.

    My sympathies to the administration. There was no way this could have been predicted.

    At current rates, this slightly less than a 1 day supply.

    You realise the amount of bureaucracy paper work you need to fill up to get that infected body? Let's just forget it.....
