Yesterday if was doubling down. Now it’s tripling down. Beaches closed! Where there exists exactly zero evidence that the virus is transmitted. The comments running 100% critical. People have had enough. It’s back to two years ago, while I listen to BBC that Australia and New Zealand are dropping all restrictions. As the UK and US have done already.
Note in the pic above: the “medical professionals” from the mainland. A few years ago mainland officials coming in such numbers would have led to furore.
ADDED: A commenter reckons *Many* commenters reckon this is because of social media in China, where next-door Shenzhen's 17 million are fully locked down and sharing snarky photos of Hongkongers gambolling on beaches. Having fun! Can’t have that! Lock down! And so Carrie goes down. On her knee, I mean.
ADDED: Seems to be the case. It’s mainlanders’ jealousy wot closed our beaches! [Odd thing, tho, is that the online article for the print version, above, seems to have disappeared. Too much criticism?)
ADDED v2: commenters are asking the same question -- where is the original article? And Google doesn’t refer to any SCMP article on beaches. Why? When they ran it front page print version today? Puzzle. Yet another Thing I don’t get.
ADDED v3: The way mainlanders are crapping out on social media about Hong Kong, makes it rooooly, rooooly, rooooly hard to like them. Really, really hard to sympathise with their rising case numbers. Does this make me, does it make us here in Hong Kong -- Awful People?
