Here in the Hong Kong SAR of China, our government officials are so “proud” of their work in controlling the SARS - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - the killer Pneumonia virus, one high ranking officers self-claimed to have not been wearing medical masks deliberately - in order to “protect” the image” of the region, and the government put out TV announcement telling local citizens that they have the right not to wear medical masks; when in fact, the toll of daily cases here have been increased from averaging 20 some odd cases early last week to 58 cases on the 28th, with the first sign of decrease yesterday to 45 new cases.
Whereas in Vietnam, the first WHO officer, Dr Carlo Urbani, who had identified the outbreak of this new disease and treated the earliest cases in Hanoi died yesterday; but as of yesterday, Vietnam’s new cases tally remained at 58 for the sixth day in a row. A job well done, Vietnam! Keep up the good work.
WhaUSay?!
