    The MTR was atrocious. Was heading back on the Tung Chung Line after having attended neither of the concerts. Got mixed in with the concert-goers regardless. Trains every 10 minutes despite a concert at both HK and Kowloon stations

    A portion of the unvaccinated might be doomed, we just have to survive the shit show response to this.

    Just need cases to go super nuclear quickly, then there'll be less shit show response.

    Today 5 cases, tomorrow 100, the day after 1000, and the day after that 10,000 and PB/hospitals as a requirement for close contacts and asymptomatic cases will be off the list. Heck maybe even non-serious symptomatic cases.

    Note the anagram of Omicron is Moronic

    THe latest variant spreads 70 times faster than Delta in the bronchii but has significantly less effect on the lungs

    Never underestimate the will of the govt to stick to their guns. Not enough staff- no problem: draft in the PLA. Not enough beds- expand PB.

    Well, yes, that’s my point! It is very much the shit show that is the impending doom!

    Ignore the app, stock up, and stay home. It shouldn't take very long.

    Latest LTN (Ma On Shan) is linked to the diner in the private room at Moon Palace.
