Nearly half of Hong Kong’s population has likely caught Covid

Researchers say total infections will reach about 4.5 million of Hong Kong's 7.4 million people. Now the city is being forced to move away from key pillars of its strict Covid Zero strategy as its latest outbreak overwhelms the under-prepared health-care system.

“At any point in time, we need to revise, review and adjust our policy measures.”

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam says the government will “critically review” its experience in handling its latest #Covid19 wave to inform how it tackles future virus outbreaks

Looks like we will be getting it here in time for mandatory universal mail in ballots to every resident who has ever lived at an address whether they still live there or not, living or dead

They’re making it up based on extrapolation.

Even if accurate, that’s a good thing.

Gets it over with.

But ChiComs have taken over Hong Kong and nothing they say can be believed.

Although I do believe there’s an epidemic. Hong Kong when they controlled themselves kept it out.

ChiComs I’m sure let their ChiCom comrades come and go freely with no screening etc...

“86% vaccinated.”

Most deaths are unvaccinated older people. Most homes for the elderly are having outbreaks.

Again, whoever told you vaccine can prevent infection by constructing a virus proof filter in nose, lied to you big time.

Did his polio vaccine build a virus proof filter in you nose?
Function of vaccine is hugely mis-understood.

ONLY function of vaccine is to create anti-bodies in your body. Those come into play AFTER infection occurs. Those extra stock of anti-bodies help you fight the virus and reduces chance of serious illness. Many vaccines are so effective, even when infection takes place, the virus is killed off quickly, no symptoms appear, and it gives the (false) impression that the vaccine prevented infection.

What is the last time we tested people for polio or smallpox or influenza? Never! But covid tests are being done incessantly. But testing positive for covid means little if there are no symptoms or very mild symptoms.

See, this is where you get a little Kooky. Noses? Like Cyrano de Bergerac? Karl Malden, Jimmy Durante? You go build nose filters for them and get back to me.

“The missteps are almost too numerous to recount, but the worst ones have to do with Hong Kong’s singular inability to vaccinate its population. The government’s efforts were from the start imbued with politics and marred by poor messaging. It initially rushed through approval of the China-made Sinovac vaccine, and city leaders made a show of being inoculated with it, despite a better option—BioNTech’s mRNA jab—being available. (The large majority of deaths have been among the unvaccinated, but officials refuse to disclose data on which vaccine was administered to those who died after being vaccinated.) Press releases highlighting, with little context, the vaccine’s adverse effects were amplified by the media, leading to intense skepticism”

Thats wierd. I have sat with at least six, very old and very frail ladies who would have been voted most likely to die based on their condition.
They were not vaccinated, got it, went through the same hell i went through as a pretty healthy person.
What was making them frail before covid is still the problem.
And.. they are sick of wearing a mask.
In 2020 i watched it roll through nursing homes locally and the only deaths were those hospitalized. Even my hardest core dem acquaintances had a hard time admitting her 86 yo mother had it abd recovered.
I did have a great mother of 3, die.. but she had been hospitalized on an ecmo. Now she sings in thee heavenly choir.

they can start with vaccinating their elderly first (35% or less vaccination rate) seeing how covid is spreading through their nursing home populations

People in good health such as myself (age 82) do not even need any vaccine. Only people with serious health issues and weak from old age need vaccine. I exercise daily in gym, and strong like bull haha.

Not in China. Severe lockdowns prevent normal exposures.
