the man who gets things done...and we thought Carry was inept

"When I take office I will discuss with my team the priorities of each policy agenda," Lee said, stressing the importance of getting things done."

My take on the infected statistics is that its clear people catch Covid at the airport and plane. Most likely the plane, so the incubation period is a few days before it shows up in PCR.

Day 1 is the same day as you step off the plane, so its basically just when you caught the virus
Day 2 is your actually first whole day and if you caught Covid the virus would just be taking hold in the body, with very little time so far to replicate
Day 3 is when the first PCR test currently is done and if you caught Covid in the airport that might show at this point. If you caught it on the plane its less likely
Day 4: You would probably feel some symptoms if you are not one of the asymptomatic
Day 5: Second PCR test and this is where most people get caught, so basically 4 full days after being exposed to the virus.

So how HK government is going to implement anything else than 5+2 I don't really know, since you would not catch people who are infected before they are let out otherwise. Imho 5+2 is the absolute shortest you can implement if you really want to catch cases before they can travel from hotel to home etc. Anything shorter than that and you can just scrap the whole quarantine thingy, which of course would make most sense..

hmmm, I dunno man.. think I need more time to look at all the data

[Cheeky Kiwi]

Too much logic, does not compute

Congrats guys, the data must show only scrapping quarantine makes sense. Results-oriented!

[HongKong_Great]

There is a forever in quarantine.

Maybe their data proved to them that quarantine is in fact useless and then their CaNnOt heads exploded.

The only data they were studying was Xi‘s train station bunker speech.

Technical issues...I guess the projector in the meeting room broke?

Fax machine out of paper?

Where is the staunch support....?

[FrancisX]

Why are hotel operators involved in any quarantine decision making? Unless it's to object to ending quarantine as it would hit the money they're making off it?

Follow the science. Or the powerful lobby groups.
