5. Risky sampling process: sampling process often induces coughs & sneezes, which pollute the air w/ droplets that can survive for days on surfaces. As all testing centers operate 12 hrs a day w/ limited time to disinfect, it only increases the risk of contact transmitted spread.

4. No scientific proof: WHO experts said board population testing is costly & unrealistic, while health minister of Taiwan also said universal testing is not practical to block sources of infection and stressed the importance of border closures instead.

3. High false-negative rate: #COVID19 studies suggest that false-negative rate of current testers ranges from 20% to 100%. This unreliable testing result will create a misleading virus-free perception, which will further worsen the outbreaks in the community.

It is our greatest fear that 12 HKers being detained now might face...Since their situation is extremely critical, given China's highly controversial system in Blackbox, we hope the world can keep watch on and especially hope that they can be back safe.

Saddened to hear the passing of #ChadwickBoseman. As a true warrior fighting till the very end, he inspired generations that everyone could be superheroes in their stories. Death is not the end. His spirit will live on forever. Rest in power, King #RIPBlackPanther #WakandaForever

3/ Joshua Wong told Reuters he was subjected to demeaning treatment in prison, such as being made to squat naked while being questioned by guards in an area of the prison with no CCTV.

@joshuawongcf
2/ "We sang protest anthem “Glory to HK” in the cell. We were punished the next day.” He said a guard told him to say thank you as he slapped him once. He said the prison guards hit them in ways to avoid bruising and scars and in places in the prison where there was no CCTV.

4/ He made an official complaint to the Correctional Services Department, but an internal investigation by the department concluded last year that his complaint was unfounded on the grounds that there was no evidence.

[Young protester says he was beaten by prison guards]
1/ A 21-year-old man told @Reuters he was beaten and humiliated by guards in prison. Guards routinely slapped him, hit him with rulers, and elbowed his spine at the Pik Uk Correctional Institution.

When #hkpolice attempts to rewrite the history to justify its #PoliceBrutality in #Hongkong under #nationalsecuritylaw, we should insist on telling the truth. Congratulations! twitter.com/sopasia/status…

3/ Asked why he did not attempt to escape abroad following the imposition of the security law, Wong said: “Apart from wishing to fight until the last minute, I believe that keeping the local protest momentum going really matters.”

@joshuawongcf
4/ Joshua Wong says he expects to be arrested at any time and fears disappearing into a secret jail across the border in mainland China. "My arrest seems to be a matter of timing. Time is running out on my personal safety."

2/ “I would say that Hong Kong was not Hong Kong any more after 11pm on June 30,” he said, referring to the time when the national security law was imposed.

1/ “Of course, that is the worse scenario. A lot of people ask me: are you ready for it? And I say, of course nobody will be ready for sentencing in a Beijing black jail for ever.” on.ft.com/31xtQ5X

It’s undignified of Wang to ''interfere'' the Nobel Committee using threatening words as such. His remarks only affirmed that HK is under Beijing’s suppression and the perseverence of HKers in the pursuit of democracy deserves international recognition. news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compon…

[Government must explain if election officers hold foreign passports]

A government that ignores privacy suddenly cares about privacy, which means it is hiding something. Those who take on political missions should not have two nationalities.

4. With a more stringent #nationalsecuritylaw in #China, as well as other draconian criminal laws #HK doesn’t have, it is worrying that they could be sent to #China’s secret courts & black prisons, with restricted access to lawyers & high risk of forced confession under torture.

5. Not to mention that the detention period in China could be indefinite, just like the two Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who have been detained more than 620 days after their arrests.

2. It reportedly includes Andy Li, who was previously arrested under #nationalsecuritylaw, on the same day when pro-democracy media mogul #Jimmylai was arrested.

@joshuawongcf
3. The news broke out after #hkpolice's recent move to rewrite history and arrest pro-democracy lawmakers, visa denials of foreign correspondents, disqualification of young runners, election cancellation and censorship of textbooks in schools.
