Many thanks to i-Cable TV for their interview. The Body Donation Programme at HKUMed enables students to learn about dissection. I am honoured to be one of the first near-peer tutors of the programme!

Read my most recent commentary on the medico-legal discussion on some COVID-19 prevention measure, written with Mr Trevor Wan from the Faculty of Law, the University of Hong Kong.

In this week's @NEJM, @Davilandre and I share a remarkable case of a man who had arrhythmias anytime he talked! See it for yourself:

9 hours after 1st dose of #BioNTech#COVID#vaccine. Just some soreness over the injection site, no low grade fever and generalised fatigue, as well as other symptoms.
Get vaccined. Protect yourself. Protect others. We can do this!!
Here's a head-to-head comparison table of Sinovac's CoronaVac and Pfizer/BIoNTech's Comirnaty vaccines.
Choose wisely based on your risk of exposure to COVID-19, medical history and tolerance of side effects. Talk to a medical professional if in doubt.
Summary of #COVID19#vaccine efficacy data from phase III RCTs to date. Incredible achievement to have these many successful candidates in less than an year!
An engaging read, a paper by Dr. Lam and Dr. Li from the University of Hong Kong and Dr. Laher and Dr. Wong from the University of British Columbia

The uphold of research quality does not mean implying the so-called “Western standard” to the whole world. This reviewer should be well-aware of this, based on his/her “Western training”.
Submitted a paper to a @SpringerNature journal and was shocked with one of the reviewers' comments. Apparently, scientists outside the West are incapable of conducting competitive research on their own— we need Western scientists to hold our hand @AcademicChatter#AcademicTwitter
The election is manageable if everyone wears face masks at polling stations and is made to disinfect hands at entry and exit from the station. ID cards should not be physically handled by employees. Keep windows wide open and queues physically distanced. Not impossible!
Important study in @TheLancet. First major meta-analysis to find in favour of #mask usage for prevention of #Covid_19 transmission. Cloth masks with > 10 layers also likely better than nothing. Game changer for pandemic management and preparedness.
Now more than ever, we must reflect on what makes #HongKong punch above its weight and press on with the pursuit of excellence in all that we do. This gives us reason for being and hope for the future. Summary of pioneering #COVID19 research @hkumed@CityUHongKong@CityUHongKong
The Chinese CDC today published the largest case series to date of #COVID19 in mainland China (72 314 cases through 2/11/20). Here are some of the data:
Case-fatality rate
• 2.3% Overall
• 14.8% age >= 80
• 8.0% age 70-79
• 49.0% in critical cases

Indeed the number as well as the rise in number of cases are both extremely alarming - more rigorous and effective policies targeting at the root cause of the spread should be implemented NOW by the government!
The Dean of @hkumed , Prof @gmleunghku , said his team has estimated that as of Saturday, some 44,000 people in #Wuhan alone were likely to have been infected by the new virus. #coronarvirus#WuhanCoronavirus
