While I'll keep covering them, the CHP press conferences at this point are almost worthless for accurate information.

Dr Chuang: there's 122, no 121 local cases, 91 linked, 31 unknown source (yes, i know that doesn't add up)

Actual: 121 local cases, 88 linked, 33 unknown
And earlier I said there were 20 imported cases, but there are 21. I said there were 20 imported cases, because there were 20 imported cases on the sheet they handed out!

Case #14590 miraculously went from "nil" travel history, to being onboard Finnair AY101.

🤷‍♂️
Anyway, rant over. Do it all again at 4.30pm today.
Addendum to rant: It's not like these cases are testing positive at 4.29pm before the press conference. Everyone on Feb 3rd's list tested positive on Feb 1st. The cut off time for reporting is midnight. CHP has 16.5hrs to get this right before the presser.

Anyway....

Chief Executive Carrie Lam:

• Epidemic is getting worse. Outbreak worst we've seen throughout the pandemic

• Omicron has high transmissibility

• Seen many vertical/horizontal transmission. Doesn't involve the structural issues of buildings this time Image
• Delta cases are dropping. Hoping we have that outbreak under control

• More and more alerts sent out via the sewage monitoring system. They are all over the territory.

• Our strategy is still dynamic zero infection. Hope to cut the transmission as soon as possible.
• Many ways to test. There's lockdowns. Most vigorous way of testing. Then there's CTNs. People are allowed to leave their premises, but need to get tested. Then there's testing on a voluntary testing. If you're concerned, you can get tested. Similar to what was done Sept 2020

I have bowed to public pressure and added a PayMe option (Ko-fi is still there too).

The link is in my bio.

And thanks to these legends for the lucky money! 💪 ImageImage
Sorry everyone, apparently I need to verify my account. Hold on!
And now I'm stuck in a HSBC endless loop of useless.

Chief Manager (Quality and Standards) of the Hospital Authority, Dr Lau Ka-hin:

• 'When the Ct value of the sample is higher than 30, we cannot detect the virus. So home quarantine post-discharge is safe for families.'

Then why was the cut-off so high before?
I cannot accept that @hkumed "only just" realised that the virus couldn't be detected at Ct 30+ TWO YEARS INTO THE PANDEMIC.
@hkumed Not blaming HKUMed here. It sounds like Dept Health is using them as a scapegoat to change the discharge criteria because the hospital system is being overloaded.
