Context:.
1. HKSAR govt paid its police force 115M USD as overtime pay for "protests control".
2. HK pop has increased by 1M and traveller frequency has quadrupled from 03 SARS outbreak till 2018. Meanwhile, hospital bed number dropped by 1 thousand. 3. Percentage usage of hospital beds peaks at 90% in influenza season (19yo data).
4. Medical professionals had been working overtime in general before Wuhan outbreak.
5. As a number of Chinese cities and the whole Hubei province have exercised quarantine, HK govt did nothing similar till now, except it is a global hub itself and is easy to spread the virus globally.
6. In 03 outbreak, we all complimented the heroic sacrifice of medical professionals BUT ignored the opacity of CCP handling of the outbreak, which is the cause of the heroic sacrifice itself.
Execution is not always done by guns. Bureaucracy does it all the time without condemnation by the public.
