"No More China Flight, No More Virus Spreading": Assembly Held by Hong Kong Dragon Airline Flight Attendants Association
#FirstHand #Instant #Feb9
14:16 | Tung Chung
The Hong Kong Dragon Airline Flight Attendants Association organized an assembly requesting the Airline to stop flights flying over mainland China.
FAA chairwoman Rebecca Sy On-na spoke on stage, reflecting that there has been lack of masks and hand cloves offered to cabin crew, despite the fact that they contact with mainland travellers directly. What's more, the airline even requests cabin crew to take no-pay leave in such a harsh moment.
462 members of the Association voted for a strike so as to force the airline to stop flights flying over China that could potentially spread virus to Hong Kong. Sy also pointed that Cathay Dragon issued memo to cabin crew to stress that those participated in the strike will be fired.

Elderly man passed out after 3 hours in queue for mask
Carrie LAM’s 70-yo supporter: government failed people’s basic needs badly
(7 Feb) Surgical masks keep running out! Government keeps refusing to help! A convenient store announced today to give out 100,000 masks (5 per person) to Hong Kong residents aged 65 and above at 20 designated locations. An elderly man came alone and passed out after staying in line for 3 hours. Store staff gave 5 pieces to him before he was sent away by ambulance. This shows how desperate Hong Kongers have become as they see masks more important than everything else.
A 70-year-old woman criticized the government for failing to handle even basic works properly. “I used to trust Carrie LAM very much and understood her hardship as a female Chief Executive. However, I am extremely disappointed at her and her administration,” said the old lady. She called out the shortage of mask and rice in Hong Kong, and wished the government would distribute masks and close the entire borders.
A housewife Mrs. LIU thought former Chief Executive Donald TSANG would have done a better job on epidemic control than Carrie LAM, who just absurdly instructed people to not wear masks for prevention. Mrs. LIU’s family members each needed to wear the same mask for 3 to 4 days, padded with a piece of tissue for replacement every day.
Mrs. LEE, a resident of Ma On Shan, said she had only few masks for herself and 4 other family members. “I won’t keep any mask for myself, and will reserve for those who go to work,” said Mrs. LEE.
In Tsing Yi, an elderly man in wheelchair lined up with his wife. As they had only 2 masks left, they avoided going out in order to minimise the usage. Fortunately, each of them got 5 pieces from the convenient store, even though enough to last a few days only.
Another 81-year-old Ms. CHOW had biscuits for breakfast while in queue. She had no time to eat because she just came back from a regular check-up at a hospital, and had to get some masks now because she had none at home.
A 64-year-old Mrs. LAI said her husband might need to stop going to work if she couldn’t get any today. “We need to apply for social welfare assistance from the government afterwards,” said Mrs. LAI.
Despite having sufficient masks for her family, a 73-year-old elderly kept searching for more in the market every day. She stayed at home on the previous 3 days to cut back. The old lady said angrily that the government was totally unacceptable and not working for the Hong Kong people.

Compulsory Quarantine in Hong Kong Takes Effect with Weak Enforcement
The Compulsory Quarantine imposed on mainland visitors entering Hong Kong came into effect on February 9. However, the first flight from mainland China was from Beijing at 1 am and arriving passengers were not required to check in at any isolation facility. They were asked to stay in their own residence for 14 days, where the government could conduct surprise inspections or make phone calls to ensure they didn’t go out. All passengers were allowed to leave on their own when no symptoms of illness was detected.
A notice was found at the airport reminding people who have been to China in the past 14 days to voluntarily declare their travel history. Immigration officers also randomly asked passengers on non-mainland flights whether if they have been to China. If the passenger answered “no”, they were allowed to pass through.
