The first thing they did was put up barriers in front of the check ins at police stations

A side note, here's a well written and easy to understand infographic on the mask situation. Share with your friends and family if they are going nuts spending hundreds on N95 masks, or wearing those cool looking pollen masks

Some old asian guy (who was really nice and friendly) just got back from China 3 days ago and coughed RIGHT in my face.

It's getting a bit crazy out there. In the first presser, Carrie Lam said the government will work with Chinese manufacturers after new years to obtain mask supplies in HK. People took that to mean they were doing what they did in Macau, providing everyone with masks to prevent an outbreak.

Today they came out and said that was just a rumor. They won't be providing anyone with anything at this point. This led to even more panic buying


It's one of those weird situations, where people are doing the right thing (everyone wearing masks) for the wrong reason (they think it stops them from getting sick). You don't want to tell them that, because you want everyone in a mask in case they get sick (this is where masks ARE effective). But at the same time, you feel bad that people are going crazy trying to get masks.

That is correct, it is more important to prevent spread of virus than to try protect oneself.

A reminder that the virus is transmitted through the mouth nose eye, you don’t even have to have someone cough in your face, as long as your hands are contaminated and you touch your face, you could potentially be infected.

Below is a link to the precautions that healthcare professionals should take:
http://www.bccdc.ca/resource-gallery..._25_2020v3.pdf

Note even a healthcare professional is only required to use N95 in aerosol generating procédure, and during normal care, only droplet and contact precaution is required. Unless you in close proximity to a patient for extended period of time, a mask is not required as part of prevention.

VCH droplet and contact precautions signs:

If it hasn’t been sad, surgical mask are only one time use, and needs to be changed after it’s wet

Lastly a hand washing guide

Have u guys ever wonder if this whole thing was just a conspiracy just so mask companies get ppl to buy mask since they market for mask has been down over the past years? The companies created this virus just to get ppl in fear just to buy masks?

2 things about Joshua's post. 1) Proper newcast will say the Corona Virus... douchbags who don't give a fuck, always labels this as WuHan virus. 2) Hong Kong is now under the "severe" hit of Coronavirus, and unfortunately, our earloop masks here now face tremendous supply shortage. Fuck you!!! Please define what you consider "severe".... 10? 100000 confirmed? 3) Lastly, if Hong Kong gov't is withholding medication which is actually preventive or curing... sure... it's only a fucking mask and not even considered 100% effective.

Even beef / chicken / pork are regulate and outbreak still happens, esp. in china & even HK.

Being Asian, I do get this a lot when i came here in the 80s, from shark fin soup, to pigeons/quail with the head deep fried, to snake soup, snack gall bladder, i got made fun of all the time. Saying why we are so gross and uncivilized. I HONESTLY cannot tell you what the obsession is in our culture, but I can say, some do taste really good.

Don't westerns go over to thailand and eat the crazy shit like scorpions, bugs, crickets????

My dad once asked some red necks neighbours on why they feel like they need to eat bison + deer + bear (they bought us a dozen of bear sausage to share)..... and the guys in the interiors said it's just things they do when they go hunt and eat.

No different than when i go up and volunteer on a native researve and they hunt and eat seal meat (fuck it was gross).

only difference is certain twisted groups in Asia find the most inhumane way to do it claiming it tastes better, which makes clubbing seals look tame

smoldering a puppy alive, eating ape brain while it's still alive, eating a snapper while it's alive, chop dorsal fin off and toss the shark back into the water, list goes on

The correct name is "2019 Novel Coronavirus" or "2019-nCoV" changed from de facto name "Wuhan Coronavirus" for political reasons. "Coronavirus" itself is just a type of virus - many common colds are a coronavirus. SARS was a coronavirus.

Obviously a lot of people are going to stick to the original name though, I wouldn't call them "douchebags" for it. Don't complain about the name because it's named after a place in China - MERS is even more deadly and nobody bothered to change its name LUL (Edit: They actually changed naming conventions after MERS)

There's no medication to help, but a vaccine is being developed and is already in animal testing phase. Should be around 1 year for it to be ready for the public use.

Guess you haven't been to China. Most washroom don't provide soap for you to use. In some places in China they don't even provide sink for you to wash your hands in(this happens even in Beijing so you can image in a 2nd 3rd tire city like WuHan there are even less sinks and soap for people to use). When I use to go back I bring my own wet wipes the antibacterial ones coz I rather no risk it.

Also in China most washroom are not sanitizer you can see shit and poo most of the time and stains. So I can see washing hand might not be so common in China.

twitchyzero 01-30-2020 10:04 AM

hospitals/clinics can change mask suppliers/batch

russia closed the border with China

apparently the wechat psa was from a burnaby city councilor who reached out to the infected, if its even remotely accurate and not exaggerated...horey shet our system is ill-prepared if we did turn her away several times AND let her get on a plane for 12 hours with other people

we're lucky everyone involved in BC so far has been self-reporting/vigilant
