    I've seen Bentley's and Rolls Royces in the public housing estates, just didn't know they also had drivers. Seriously if they are that well off why live in a public housing estate?

    fake news. In fact the university of Queensland are testing anti-inflammatories as a treatment, and there is evidence of beneficial effect already in treating Bronchitis.

    As I understand it we have two reasons for death. In young people, the cytokine storm due to the inflamatory response. In old people the respiratory failure due to the failure of the immune system to cope. I suspect that anti-inflammatories are bad for the latter group but good for the former group.

    All going to show that self diagnosis and treatment is probably not a good idea.

    We've seen those and apparently many of them are drivers who park their employers cars. We've seen a few at our local estate too.

    No problem at all and apology accepted. Tough times for everyone at the moment. Hope things pick up for you.

    I know one family that owns (maybe mortgaged) and rents around 17 properties in HK, with monthly rentals between HKD70K and HKD30K. They drive three cars including a Porsche 911 Turbo. They don't live in live in public housing estate but their house certainly isn't big. I guess they are simply accumulating wealth.
