How are we doing, here in Hong Kong?

Backyard pano: lush in rain and heat
Like Bluebottle, Eccles we’re “fine, fine, fine…” [“What time is it, Eccles?”]
HK: The whole place is now shut down, though the dining shut down is causing blow back. Pools and beaches closed which also makes no sense. Both our Piazzas sealed off with police tape.
So we sit and gaze at green.

While we’re fine, we know we’re lucky, safely retired and we feel for the many who are not. Especially the mom and pop stores and mid-sized businesses. Much heartache, agony, angst, bankruptcies and depression. HK Economic growth latest quarter Minus 9% and unemployment jumped. FedEx employees demanding that flights to HK stop because of the new measures — will put more strain on the supply chain, which has been just okay so far.
