    Yes Covid is still around, but so what? If one is at risk of serious complications, hide. We’ve been through this, lock downs etc don’t work (except to regulate hospital capacity).

    I am still upset that teachers mask up. I can barely make out what they say to me sometimes, let alone the kids.

    For any newbies info, masks were not introduced to Hong Kong during Covid. It was SARS in 2003. However people wearing them as an everyday accessory for no reason is certainly new.

    So my idea of opening a paranoia store is still alive and well.

    Air purifier necklaces, state-of the art tissues for pressing elevator buttons, stylish virus blocking goggles, and extra strong tape for uselessly applying to your windows before a typhoon!

    And cash only... it's the Hong Kong way!

    They're simply taking random samples from inbound travellers. This is not new either. They've been doing random sampling ever since they stopped taking samples from every inbound passenger.
