    This was addressed very specifically - they can go to restaurants and eat on tables of 4. Just have to leave before 10PM so the elder crowd can rave till midnight. Simple....

    But then why would she state that they can just go watch movies instead... incomprehensible.

    They should start making PowerPoint slides to sum up their rules and regulations. The current regulations PDFs are getting very wordy.

    Vaccinations is not "essential" - only if the restaurant wants to let the elderly rave past 10pm.

    If you want to party hard like the > 30 crowd can, go to a mid night showing of that disney film and show everyone how hard core you are.

    I know what your stance is - the govt cannot do anything right. Unfortunately this convoluted press conference is not going to help. Go enjoy a cinq-a-sept and forget it happend.

    Not mentioned in her response...

    I see a very clear niche for a website summing up COVID rules with infographics!

    Why should a second tier subversive province be included in such schemes?

    In an effort to please the population yet another ill thought through delivery. The intent is good, the planning and execution and utter fustercluck.

    It could quite simply have been presented as: We are strongly minded to consider further easing of Covid controls and would like to target rolling these in from the end of this month. This will give us time to plan properly and consult where necessary. In return we are ask the citizens of HK to play their part in getting vaccinated.

    To facilitate their reintegration with the motherland . No but more seriously they are currently exempt from hotel quarantine like the rest of China (or rather as they are part of China) so perhaps they’ll be included?
