Thread: a snapshot of how civically-minded Hong Kong protesters are, as seen from how they organise materials & supplies. Below, makeshift signs say "Water for free. Help yourself." 
These two are holding up signs listing out items that are in "severe short supply": saline, gauze, surgical gloves, cotton, disinfectant, helmets, cling wrap, face masks—and "yourself."
This is the "central supplies station," where supplies are collected, sorted, then distributed to satellite supply stations throughout the protest site. Protesters were even asked to remove the packaging to make sorting easier.
Supplies are brought in to set up one such satellite supply station. Note that the "stretcher" on which the suppliers are carried is creatively fashioned out of a plastic traffic/construction fence!
And the process of sorting and categorising the supplies begins.
This is just one little slice of what the scene is like on the ground. Everyone is pitching in and trying to make things work.
