[Joshua Wong interview at @timesuk: Xi won’t win this battle]
Beijing believes punitive prison sentences will put an end to pro-democracy protests. It couldn’t be more wrong, the 23-year-old says.

Der Ausbruch des tödlichen Coronavirus erinnert an die Lungenkrankheit Sars im Jahr 2003, die sich auch in Hongkong ausbreitete. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass die chinesischen Behörden wie damals das Ausmaß der Virusinfektion vertuschen. welt.de/politik/auslan…

14/ To protect yourself and your community from this epidemic, please wear a mask in public. The last thing I’d like to see is another similar outbreak of disease like SARS in anywhere in the world.

13/ It worries me to see this highly contagious Wuhan-virus have infected people in Europe, and I fear there will be more cases after Lunar New Year as many Chi students will travel back to Europe from Chi after holidays, increasing the risk of the virus being transmitted.

@joshuawongcf
11/ There are cases of Wuhan-virus infection reported in HK, Taiwan, Singapore, US & France, scientists suspected that there may be 1000 to 2300 actual infections since Dec 2019, which are significantly higher than those 550 confirmed cases released by Chinese government so far.

12/ It’s very likely that Chi gov attempts to cover up Wuhan-virus, which is most irresponsible thing gov can do to its people & other states. Lives of citizens & medical personnel are at stake because of gov attempt to cover up the severity of virus, instead of protecting them.

9/ However, Chinese were being arrested by authorities and were accused of spreading rumours about the Wuhan-virus, despite it was officially acknowledged. More worryingly, the Chinese authorities have decided to shut down outbound transportation from Wuhan on Thursday morning.

@joshuawongcf
10/ Ctizens of Wuhan were rushing to leave the city by trains or airplanes to go to other cities or countries despite having fever or other symptoms of pneumonia, suggesting a massive outbreak is imminent.

@joshuawongcf
7/ Similar to SARS, the Huanan Seafood Market, which sells meat is sold alongside live animals like dogs, hares, and civets, in Wuhan is thought to be the starting point for the virus outbreak.

8/ A week earlier, Chinese government claimed the outbreak of Wuhan-virus was “preventable and controllable” and this week it was forced to admit that virus was able to spread person-to-person and there are cases of infection were reported by people who never set foot in Wuhan.
2061
@joshuawongcf
5/ During the initial stages of the outbreak, the Chinese government concealed information from the public, limiting mitigation efforts and exacerbating the spread of SARS. Chinese government did not notified WHO of SARS until Feb 2003, allowing it to flourish and spread to HK.

@joshuawongcf
6/ It infected 1,755 people and took away 299 lives. I was just a kid at the time, I remember school was cancelled and I was staring at the news everyday for updates on infection and death numbers, I can still recall how desperate we were.
2063
@joshuawongcf
4/ In 2003, the outbreak of SARS was traced to the selling of wild animal, like snakes, civet cats and bats in wet markets in China’s Southern Guangdong province, and the first patient was infected after preparing for a meal of chicken, cat and snake, and later infected others.
2064
@joshuawongcf
3/ We are all terrified because this new virus reminds us of how the Chinese government covered up the severity of SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) which infected 8,098 people and took away 774 lives across 30 countries in 2003.
2065
@joshuawongcf
2/The deadly new coronavirus outbreak remind us of SARS in 2003, started in the Chinese city of Wuhan, and has entered the stage of transmission among families and hospital, it is a full-blown community epidemic.

@joshuawongcf
A few months ago, Hong Kong-ers are talking about which mask best guards us from teargas.......
1/ After 7 months, we are still discussing about mask, but now about which one can guard us against a new pneumonia originating from Wuhan, China.

This is our city right now... I wonder if the angry pro-Beijing folks who have been so hostile to masked men and women will themselves finally wear masks?

@joshuawongcf
Last year I asked you all to add a 😷 emoji to your Twitter name in support of the #HongKong protests after the government outlawed masks. This ban has since been reversed by the court but we now wear them for a different reason: the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak 😷😷😷😷😷😷

Gov rejected by-election despite vacating 2 lawmakers' seats, same day CS hinted on the legislation of Art23. It doesn't merely just depriving voting rights, but also dangerous signal to HK's already frail constitutional order. HKers face daunting war in remaining LegCo sitting.
