Have the western media heard about the joke of the COVID-19 is actually engineered by the Chinese gov and it’s got some of to same ‘Ingredients’ as HIV... it’s so fake that it’s also so believable. (I read the news from both the west and from HK, so sometimes I lose track of where have a I read what... )

What is actual news on the other hand, certain parts of China have now had a law imposed on them - the state can confiscate your money, sell your house, your car, your asserts to cash in to fight the epidemic.

Maybe this 1 person was infected in a controlled environment as a cover story.

They have 1!

I’d have to lick it and well as cough then... still want it? 🤣

Want a slice? 😬

Yes, but it could also be the fact that I had cheesecake and was offering to the people I was talking to. So maybe they were jealous? Should have walked toward them and offer them a piece too while coughing... 🙄

I got some weird look from a mother + school kid pair the other day, but there were at least a good 5-6 meters away from me.

So nothing bad yet but I am, understandably, a bit worried. I don’t mind the dirty look but I do mind very much the crazies.

Guys, in all seriousness, if a Chinese people cough (covering their mouth with tissue / flexed elbow properly) in front of you, what would your reaction be?

I have very bad asthma and it’s the cough type so I cough a lot and I have been increasingly self aware of when coughing in public. If I can hold I would but it’s not easy.

People hoard toilet rolls as well as condoms... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Don’t shoot the messenger, shoot the message.

Jokes like these don’t help at all... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes, it has been, but there have always been 2 troops, folks like my uncle for example, not the same one asking for masks, who is through and through Chinese Chinese and he wasn't even born in China. He would be one of those who would thank the motherbland for allowing them to do X, Y and Z etc. During the umbrella movements and the recent protests, he would have also been one of those who would curse those who fight for their freedoms and rights.

Bascially, if you are blue, you are for the Chinese gov and if you are yellow, then you are a true HK freedom fighter. Blue = colour of the police.

My (family's) masks have been shipped from Germany vis DHL, so we should find out on Firday if I have been scammed.

They are expensive, but if this means my family will feel safer, psychologically at least, then it's a price worth paying...

Luckily, I took on 3 extra days work this week that are doube pay... :-)

Ask anyone from Taiwan, but be sure you have an least a good couple of hours to spare. You know Taiwan is not actually recognised as a country in many respects, right?

Almost every Taiwanese friends I have / have had will tell you they are Chinese, but they are from Taiwan.

Increasingly, a lot of people from HK will tell you we are Chinese, but we are from Hong Kong.

Anyway, that doesn't have a lot to do with this thread.

Please! But if you got lucky, don't buy anything yet and please check in with me as there are loads of scams and assholes selling masks like gold at the moment.

I see, you going to go out of custom or are you staying in the controlled area inside the airport?

Sorry to be a pain.

If you were going to go pass HK, would you stay at a hotel for the night or sth?

My uncle is a bit under the weather at the moment and apparently the whole family is all too afraid to go to the airport, so I was thinking in the best case scenario, that is you are in HK and have masks, could they meet you at your hotel or something.

I would make sure they pay for your transportation to and from the airport and treat you something nice. I know you won’t ask for it, but it is a very Chinese thing.

He’s been sourcing masks with his buddies also. So the latest joke is that if your blue (gov supporter), don’t go begging for masks from these folks. The first guy is the richest man in HK, everyone in the queue is yellow (the people supported) or as the gov has labelled them as rioters.

@Rich_G. This is so sad that it is so funny.

The woman being slapped is the chief executive for HK who cannot or will no source masks for people HK, who has done precisely nothing to help them and suck up to China all day long, every day.

The folks who are slapping her with masks are businessmen, TV personalities, figures that represents local SME who have managed to get masks from other countries and are either selling them at the normal price or giving them away.

It is sad.

So they can stay here temporarily? But it’s not as simple as up and go, even just for a fixed period.

If my mum were still alive, that’s what I would force her to do...

Thank you. I really appreciate it. If you could keep a look out, it would be amazing.

I have ordered some and it says delivery is 2-3 days so hopefully my order will get here on Friday. If it did, would you also be happy to take a few boxes for me? My uncle has a car and I am sure he would be happy to pick you up from the airport and drop you off where you nee to be. He loves to drive... 🤷🏻‍♀️

On my HK folks in the UK forum, there are reports of parcels with masks going missing.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it, just ordered some from the link sohi provided, so if they all arrive, I will make sure you get some too.

Thank you. I have just ordered the only type they have left available, which if I am honest, it doesn't sound right, but since it's Paypal, it should be OK. If for any magical reasons they all arrive and as described then my family and I thank you. :-)

Sorry again for being angry, I don't think I could remain sane if I lost another family member.

Keep them for rainy days. Supplies won’t be stable for weeks yet... apparently.

It was in the HK news today a cancer patient had to rearrange his appointment because he couldn’t get a mask to go out and hospitals in HK right now is the last place someone like him would want to be.

There is also a 100 year old woman with disability who cannot get any masks because shops are sold out and she obviously doesn’t know how to use the Internet.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, som many prowl who can’t get masks for various reasons. Some are disabled, some are poor, some are ill, some are old.

In the UK, food bank is now a fucking normal thing. Well, in HK, people who have a iota of conscience who also have connections to masks are now donating masks to certain ‘collection points’, so vulnerable people can queue up for hours to get a hand full. Mask bank is now a fucking thing in HK and is trending.

HK prisons actually produce surgical masks in the millions every year, in the last few weeks, they have been working 24 hours to increase their production, but instead of selling these masks to HK people at cost or near cost price, they ship them all to China to save the fucking motherland. Motherland, my ass. And guess where these actual quality masks end up? On fucking eBay 30 times the normal price, where are the sellers from? Our fucking motherland.

It is a fucking disgrace and I am beyond anger.

Taiwanese on the other hand, also technically Chinese, have long imposed boarder control, ban face masks from being exported and ban them from being sold as ridiculously inflated price. Now this is proper good government looking after their own.

HK gov, my fucking ass.

Ask @RichG, he is English but been living in HK for the last few years can he’ll tell you where all my angers have come from.

Sorry about the outburst of anger, but I am really beyond pissed.

Fake masks is now a thing. Recycled masks as brand new is also a thing now. Selling empty boxes is also a real thing now.

Every single legitimate outlet has sold out, if you can get hold of some that can actually be protective, then I will stand corrected.

Wearing a mark that isn’t certain types can put you at greater risks than not wearing one.

I can’t tell from your reply what sort of tone you were having, if you were asking genuine questions, then I appreciate it. But if you were being sarcastic then please stop, it is a very sore point for a lot of people.

Don’t know where to say this, so here goes: I am from Hong Kong but have lived in the UK for years.

For the first time yesterday since this shit storm has kicked off, my family finally asked me if I could find some face masks to send them from the UK. They have never asked me to do anything for them, but they have done a lot for me in the last few years.* I would if I could, money is no object (to a point) here, as I am fortunate enough to have a well paid job, but proper PPE is now something money cannot buy. Even if they had all the PPE in the world, that still wouldn’t guarantee their safety as the HK gov is well and truly fucking useless.

I can’t stop thinking about them, but there doesn’t seem to be anything I could do. I haven’t felt this hopeless in a very long time.

*Both my parents have passed on, so these are my uncle and aunt who have really helped me when my mum passed few years ago.

Sorry...
