• I didn't realise it's all fake now. I got a pack 2 years ago for my wife to wear to work when she has a cold. I think we still have most of them.

  • Keep them for rainy days. Supplies won’t be stable for weeks yet... apparently.

    It was in the HK news today a cancer patient had to rearrange his appointment because he couldn’t get a mask to go out and hospitals in HK right now is the last place someone like him would want to be.

    There is also a 100 year old woman with disability who cannot get any masks because shops are sold out and she obviously doesn’t know how to use the Internet.

    These are just the tip of the iceberg, som many prowl who can’t get masks for various reasons. Some are disabled, some are poor, some are ill, some are old.

    In the UK, food bank is now a fucking normal thing. Well, in HK, people who have a iota of conscience who also have connections to masks are now donating masks to certain ‘collection points’, so vulnerable people can queue up for hours to get a hand full. Mask bank is now a fucking thing in HK and is trending.

    HK prisons actually produce surgical masks in the millions every year, in the last few weeks, they have been working 24 hours to increase their production, but instead of selling these masks to HK people at cost or near cost price, they ship them all to China to save the fucking motherland. Motherland, my ass. And guess where these actual quality masks end up? On fucking eBay 30 times the normal price, where are the sellers from? Our fucking motherland.

    It is a fucking disgrace and I am beyond anger.

    Taiwanese on the other hand, also technically Chinese, have long imposed boarder control, ban face masks from being exported and ban them from being sold as ridiculously inflated price. Now this is proper good government looking after their own.

    HK gov, my fucking ass.

    Ask @RichG, he is English but been living in HK for the last few years can he’ll tell you where all my angers have come from.

    Sorry about the outburst of anger, but I am really beyond pissed.
