@BeckyParkes5 @qatarairways@British_Airways Having been on every flight with her, I can confirm this. Of the 3 delayed flights only 1 was announced to the passengers - just not good enough
Q: Suicide rates for those under 15 are at record highs. Experts have said HK Govt COVID protocols have contributed. What is the government doing to address this?
CHP's Dr Chang Shuk-kwan: I won't comment on expert opinions.
So vax rates by age are better understood like this, with bars sized according to each age group’s baseline mortality risk.
That is a helluva lot of red, unvaxxed people. And in Zero Covid countries there are no prior infections, so these people are completely immuno-naive.
Exc: Ministers have raised concerns about Ireland’s open-door policy to Ukrainian refugees, arguing it creates UK security risk.
Dublin joined EU-wide scheme welcoming refugees for 3 years, via which Ukrainians can travel to UK (Common Travel Area) without biometric checks

Hong Kong reported a record 172 Covid deaths today, which would be the equivalent of 7701 deaths if it had the population of the United States.
Most deaths in a single day, United States:
4442, Jan 20 2021 (1% fully vaccinated)
4204, Feb 4 2022 (64% fully vaccinated)

What even is the point, due to their mishandling every one will be either vaccinated, recovered or dead - going back into hiding is needless self sabotage
Q: Are you still going to continue with "Dynamic-zero Covid" strategy?
Dr Au: Yes. And once we get the cases under control, we're going to bring back all the things we used to do, like aggressive contact tracing and compulsory testing.
Based on the latest HKU projection, 2.5mn people will be put into quarantine in early March under the current zero Covid measures, while HK government are readying more than "50,000" quarantine units. More from @ThomasHHChan and me https://t.co/cqvK9bdwGg
