Don’t know where to say this, so here goes: I am from Hong Kong but have lived in the UK for years.
For the first time yesterday since this shit storm has kicked off, my family finally asked me if I could find some face masks to send them from the UK. They have never asked me to do anything for them, but they have done a lot for me in the last few years.* I would if I could, money is no object (to a point) here, as I am fortunate enough to have a well paid job, but proper PPE is now something money cannot buy. Even if they had all the PPE in the world, that still wouldn’t guarantee their safety as the HK gov is well and truly fucking useless.
I can’t stop thinking about them, but there doesn’t seem to be anything I could do. I haven’t felt this hopeless in a very long time.
*Both my parents have passed on, so these are my uncle and aunt who have really helped me when my mum passed few years ago.
Sorry...
