What is the only thing that is better than a biochemical weapon that you have genetically modified and designed yourself in your own military laboratory? Well, it's a biochemical weapon that do not leave "a smoking gun" behind because it has an origin in Mother Nature itself. 1/
If you kill someone with an icecube, you want the icecube to melt away and disappear.
That is not a noble kill. But it is the noble art of killing.
It is suspicious, if a country has low kill numbers.

Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung said he called #CarrieLam earlier today to keep her updated about Hong Kong's situation in face of #WuhanPneumonia
#BREAKING All passengers coming to Hong Kong via high-speed rail link will have to fill out health declaration form, and MTR will send staff to disinfect trains operated by its mainland counterpart, said Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung.
#JUSTIN Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung urged the public not to go to Wuhan unless necessary and if they must go, they should wear masks until 14 days after return to Hong Kong.
Education Bureau urges schools to postpone all learning trips to mainland China.

Leading communicable diseases expert of HK Medical Association Dr Leung Chi-chiu warned that effects of current containment strategy might be undermined as it's yet to figure out the infection chain of #WuhanPneumonia, which Leung called a major blind point and serious problem.
Leung said HK gov should seriously consider issuing travel warning to Wuhan if there are more cases in HK but he remained cautious on closing the mainland-HK border. "As an international city, we need to observe International Health Regulations and always remember...
...such measure is equivalent. It means that when it's Hong Kong's turn to be a source of outbreak, other places might do the same to us," Leung said.
These following three video clips were filmed by a source of mine near the Hankou high-speed rail station this morning after a city-wide quarantine was put in place.

The city of Wuhan has been closed down since 10 am on January 23 because of the #WuhanOutbreak. Train stations and airport have been shut down while highways have also been barred to prevent people from fleeing.
This place appears to be a canteen, and this man is still reluctant to put down the N95 surgical mask he is wearing although he is having a meal. #WuFlu #WuhanPneumonia
Finally, with a second preliminary positive #WuhanPneumonia case reported in Hong Kong, the city's health authority is "actively considering" to extend compulsory health declaration to cover high speed rail pax from Wuhan.
MTR: sales of tix for high speed trains to and from Wuhan have been halted.

A roundup on the first suspicious #WuFlu infection in HK: The 39yo man, who lives in Wuhan, arrived in Hong Kong via the high-speed rail in Shenzhen North on Jan 21. He was stopped by the HK Immigration at the checkpoint at the West Kowloon Station due to fever. #WuhanPneumonia
According to HK health minister Sophia Chan, he has never visited medical facilities and wet markets and has not been in contact with wild animals and livestock, nor people with pneumonia and upper respiratory disease. #WuhanCoronavirus #WuhanPneumonia
In his travel to Hong Kong, he was accompanied by four family members. But as the four didn’t show symptoms of the #WuhanPneumonia, they continued their journey to Manila, Philippines, whereas he sought medical assistance in a Hong Kong public hospital himself. #WuhanCoronavirus
While the health officials are still speaking about the first preliminary positive case of #WuhanPneumonia, Cable News reported per source that another patient in Prince Wales Hospital, who had been to Wuhan, was also positive to preliminary test.

#BREAKING Macau got its first imported case of #WuhanPneumonia from a 52yo female visitor from the mainland city.

Lei Chin Lon, Macau's health bureau chief said the woman was tested positive to coronavirus and showed pneumonia symptoms. Lei said #WuahnPneumonia patients might not show symptom of fever and the woman just began to have fever.
Lei Chin Lon, Macau's health chief said the woman is kept in the isolation ward of Conde S. Januário Hospital and her two close contacts under isolated monitor in a public health centre at St. Augustine's Square.
Buses and gambling tables the woman used would be disclosed too.

Cases of #WuhanPneumonia have reached 440 and deaths 9, and the virus, which can be transmitted human to human, has gone into communities and can mutate for further spreading, said Li Bin, deputy head of China's national health watchdog.
Gao Fu, director of China's disease control centre, said the study and forecast by Imperial College London "must be based on scientific methods", but the results, which estimated thousands of infection in Wuhan, "are not what we are seeing in reality".
Jiao Yahui, medical administration head of NHC, did not tell how many medical staff have got infected by #WuhanPneumonia when asked. She extended respect for the medics who stood fast on the front line, and admitted weakness in prevention and control of hospital infection.
Just in: Wuhan forbids social assemblies and livestock and wild animals import, says China’s National Health Commission minister Li Bin. 440 cases of the new #WuhanCoronavirus has been confirmed in China and the #coronavirus results in 9 deaths so far. 13 provinces are affected.
It has been confirmed by @WHO th at the novel #coronavirus can be transmitted amongst humans. Meanwhile, Mr Li warns that the virus might have penetrated into various neighbourhoods. Mutation could take place for further propagation, he adds. #wuhanvirus #WuhanPneumonia
In order to convene on control measures regarding the novel #WuhanPneumonia, @WHO will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday (January 22) in Geneva. tass.com/emergencies/11…
Acting CE Matthew Cheung said Hong Kong is on top alert in face of outbreak of #WuhanPneumonia
However when asked why health declaration form is only requested from pax flying in from Wuhan, Matthew Cheung repeated the health dept's lines that there is already body temp checking for pax on high speed rail and requiring more to declare may create crowd at the airport.
Matthew Cheung said Moody's downgrade of HK's rating was "unfair" "inappropriate" and he "regret" the decision.
He said Moody's should not view HK solely from political angle, and the livelihood initiatives demonstrate "will to administrate".

Patients who have been to Hubei Province and hospitals on the mainland will be covered by the expanded scope of monitoring, and all pax on flights from Wuhan would be required to fill out a health declaration form, health minister secretary Sophia Chan said. #WuhanPneumonia
Dr Tony Ko, chief executive of Hospital Authority, said each of the 7 public hospital clusters would open a special clinic within 48 hours when the authority found the city at risk of having its first local case of #WuhanPneumonia.
Health secretary Sophia Chan insisted that the notification system between HK and mainland was "effective" and the health dept has been in "uninterrupted contact" with its national level counterpart. Chan said if HK would have more cases doesn't depend solely on notification.
