mass COVID testing

HONG KONG, March 1 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam called for
calm on Tuesday after residents emptied supermarkets, stocking up on
produce ahead of reports of compulsory mass COVID-19 testing and rumours
of a city-wide lockdown.
Local media reported compulsory COVID testing would start after March
17, sparking concerns many people will be forced to isolate and families
with members testing positive would be separated.
Lam appealed to the public "not to fall prey to rumours to avoid
unnecessary fears being stirred," with the supply of food and goods
remaining normal, according to a statement on Tuesday.

"There is no need for members of the public to worry, they should stay
vigilant and pay attention to the information disseminated by the
government so as to avoid being misled by rumours."
Officials are planning to test the city's 7.4 million people three times
over nine days, with the government recommending that people stay home
during the period, Sing Tao newspaper reported, citing unidentified sources.

Exemptions would be made for those who buy food, seek medical treatment
and maintain societal operations. Hong Kong's stock market would
continue to operate, the paper said.

Lam had previously said she was not considering a city-wide lockdown.
The Chinese ruled city has seen coronavirus infections surge some 34
times to over 34,000 on Monday from just over 100 at the start of
February. Deaths are also climbing, with facilities for storing dead
bodies at hospitals and public mortuaries at maximum capacity. read more

Hong Kong continues to stick to a COVID policy of "dynamic zero", the
same as mainland China, which seeks to curb all outbreaks at any cost.
The Chinese ruled territory has implemented its most draconian measures
since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
The rules have exacerbated separation fears among many families, with
many fleeing ahead of the mass testing scheme and the build out of tens
of thousands of isolation centres. read more

Lam, who inspected a mainland Chinese built isolation centre on Monday,
said the team had raced against the clock to "create a miracle" in the
city's construction industry.
The Tsing Yi facility, located in the northwest of the city, would
provide around 3,900 rooms for infected people with mild or no symptoms
and others who need to isolate, she said.

H.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids that render current COVID
vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
