    "One of them is a teacher who lives in Tseung Kwan O, and works at Greenfield English International Kindergarten in Lohas Park. Around 30 children she taught have been sent into quarantine.."

    "Another local case is a 19-year-old man, who lives in San Wai Yuen in Tuen Mun, and works at the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals. People who had worked with him were ordered to get tested."

    So you send 30 kids who were wearing masks into quarantine but you order only testing for close contact workers from container terminal who highly shared meals, shared restrooms and others common spaces without wearing mask and lack of hygiene.

    What is wrong with this health department ?

    Again a crazy example where you send 30 kids into quarantine
    I am hoping that is 1 guardian per kid?

    If it weren't, I'd feel very sorry for that one guardian.

    I'd say, of course it is, but these days...

    So they are still seriously fixated on the hotel door hook then? You really could not make this shit up

    It is easier to be fixated on the S hook than on the ventilation , and cheaper,too.

    So the hook is the the object that contaminates ? Let's think rationally.

    Staff put food on hook. Person in quarantine is positive, opens the door, and uses his hands to remove the food from the hook. The hook now has the virus. Since the hook is metal (and the virus survives on metal for days), then are any staff who put the food on the hooks testing positive ?

    Or do people in quarantine have a hook fetish and in the middle of the night open the door to touch another hook ????

    But a more important question is this, why aren't the hooks sanitized and sprayed with alcohol ?
    (There is a product that you can spray on that lasts 30 days and contact killing of covid -19 ...used on buses and some schools in HK)

    Why is there not a demand for people to wear the mask when opening the door to get their food?

    Is there a person on each floor who monitors no midnight rendezvous with the hooker? sorry, I mean hook.


    Why could they not have cardboard boxes in front of each door, and just place the food in the cardboard box since covid can't last more than 4 hours on cardboard.

    Yep, you can't make this up.

    The first UK flight should be used as a guide for future quarantine arrangements.

    With the first UK flight arriving and all passengers testing negative pre flight and on arrival, could we assume that all passengers obtained legitimate test certificates (yes, you could catch it in the time before boarding).

    So lets see how these test in quarantine:
    0-7 days possible still contagious period, just not picked up on pre flight and arrival test (caught en route)
    0-14 days possible infection pre flight, but not picked up pre flight or arrival - also could be caught in quarantine
    +14 day most likely caught in hotel quarantine (given WHO evidence on incubation)

    So wouldn't the departure country be a better assessment of risk?

    It would cast doubt on some of the pre boarding testing certificates from a number of countries. Do the airlines really care to get banned for 14 days if they are only flying once a week, I doubt they GIVE A F@#K as they have a full plane of paying passengers in challenging financial times. Besides, the plane that doesn't fly this week will be full in 21 days or whenever granted permission into HK. Besides, what are the consequences for passengers that obtain them fraudulently? a decent healthcare system on arrival?

    Based on that assessment 0.2 % of passengers tested positive from the *North pole - low risk, genuine pre boarding certificates - different quarantine arrangement

    10% of passengers tested positive from the *South pole . higher risk, stricter quarantine arrangements.

    I sincerely hope the UK return flights work out well, mainly as facilitate international travel to and from HK.

    Or just allow fully vaccinate passengers... that cuts the risk 70/80% right there

    Or just allow everyone. Why should HK residents in the UK suffer from Hong Kongers not getting vaccinated? Open it all up, everyone who doesn't get vaccinated can get fucked. It's not like you don't get a choice.

    Whenever I see a little kindy aged kid, their mask is always put on properly. Among the most diligent mask wearers in the city IMO...
