Hong Kong shutting down...because hey, it just works

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/06/hong...ing-jan-7.html

Quote:
From bars and pubs to sports premises and karaoke rooms, Hong Kong will be banning most public activities from Friday.

The Asian financial hub will be re-imposing strict Covid-19 measures for two weeks — starting Friday to Jan. 20 — as the city braces for the spread of the highly infectious omicron variant. They will be reviewed in one week.

“We are facing a very dire situation of a major community outbreak any time, and that’s why we have to take very decisive measures,” Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Wednesday when she announced a slew of stringent measures in a bid to contain the outbreak as early as possible.

Pretty silly. For a disease that's 1000 times less lethal, although there are more infections.

What's 2 weeks going to do?

Clearly, the Olympics must be cancelled.

Maybe they're bracing up for the really Big Monster. It's called Double Trouble, a/k/a FLURONA.

What is 'flurona?' Coronavirus and influenza co-infections reported as omicron surges.

This stuff is right out of a grade B sci-fi movie.

It works better in China where everyone is locked in their apartments ... 30 days later they open the doors and haul away the dead.
