Aside from the cruise ship Hong Kong, was that number one with the most cases of Corona virus outside of China? Because of the open border, the mainland Chinese people were flocking to Hong Kong for free medical treatments. The medical facilities in Hong Kong were suddenly overwhelmed, and the people of Hong Kong started panicking. Just watch this video, where people were grabbing the toilet paper like there's no tomorrow. Hannan was in the air. All the masks were immediately sold out. Mercenaries jacked up the prices of the masks to 42 100 times its original price. Someone on Instagram posted that she got her masks for 1000 Hong Kong dollars each. That's around 100 and $30. Who knows if any of this is true? People started waiting from midnight until the opening off the store in the morning to get masks. It was just fear, panic and chaos, so people started becoming creative when it comes to masks. Thes mainland Chinese tourists were water bottles. Others hugged the masks. Certainly New way to wear underwear. No wonder why all the sanitary napkins are gone. So Ren wrapping yourself, I'm not sure what this is. Maybe these extreme measures are working today. According to the scrap, Hong Kong has dropped from first to 13th place with 107 cases of Corona virus. Due to panic and experience from SARS, I'd say around 95 to 98% of the people of Hong Kong wear masks. Even joggers are wearing masks. About a month ago, all the rice, pasta, instant noodles, vegetables were pretty much sold out. Also tissue products. For some reason, sanitary napkins were sold out in one particular supermarkets. Let's find out the current situation in Hong Kong. Plenty of tissues stacks and stacks everywhere in the supermarket. Plenty off instant noodles, endless rolls and rolls of toilet paper more than usual. And they were not overpriced, probably three times more rice than usual. Plenty of sanitizing products, plenty of sanitary napkins. Stores that sell everyday items were also packed with extra disinfectants and toilet rules. Cool pharmacies have restocks all the tissues. It's infect ins, even stores. The self snacks are packed to make rice. Let's check out another supermarket. About two weeks ago, I change here and there was no what rights to be found. Now they're plenty of rice, lenti of tissue, paper stacks and stacks of rice everywhere in the supermarkets and instant noodles, and to shoot paper. All the frozen items are replenished. All the vegetables are a clannish TW. Basically, there's more food in the supermarkets than ever before. Instant noodles everywhere. I think people are going to die of eating too much instant noodles rather than the virus in Hong Kong. Plenty of disinfectants, plenty of pasta. And they're being. We stopped as we're speaking Korean instant noodles and a big pile of toilet paper on the side here, more than enough sanitary napkins. Overall, all the items have been replenished with a big surplus. I think that the people of Hong Kong a feeling a lot more secure in you. I even saw this notice that says five pieces or one pack of surgical mask Purple person. So I guess they're selling masks here, too. Even restaurants are giving out masks after a meal. I think the people of Hong Kong went from over panic to overcautious. 98% of the people of Hong Kong are wearing masks or over wearing masks, and they're also constantly washing their hands. Is it safe to travel to Hong Kong right now? If you haven't booked anything, you should definitely wait a bit longer. But if you already have a business trip coming to Hong Kong that you cannot cancel, we think that it is relatively safe. If you take all the precautions such as wearing masks at all time in Washington, hands constantly. This is the latest Corona virus update from Hong Kong. Stay safe.
