Latest SARS Rumour in China

It was rumoured that a department of Baoding No. 252 Hospital of PLA in Hubei province was isolated because of mutated SARS.

From the Weibo of 糖鍋子

讀80後: There is a rumour in Baoding that 252 Hospital had isolated a SARS patient. I wish that it was just a rumour. Everyone should treat it rationally and the rumour stops. Go China! Go Baoding! Go 80′s

糖鍋子: I really wish that it was just a rumour. However, a floor of Baoding 252 Hospital is isolated, and there is even armed police guarding. Just go there and see. Whether it is serious or not, I hope that related department would make annoucement

From the Weibo of 米朵麻麻,

Today I wanted to have vaccine injection. However, a doctor said 252 Hospital is closed because of a mutated SARS virus. That is really frightening.

From Weibo User 卡哥

There is a case of mutated SARS in Baoding. The patient was a soldier in Baoding Hospital and he is dead. And the hospital has stopped receiving patients.

From Baidu

1. I heard the rumour half a month ago. It is not SARS. It is stronger than SARS.
2. I heard that Baoding 252 Hospital didn’t accept patients anymore. It was said that there were soldiers and the contagiousness was very great. However, it wasn’t SARS. The fever could be brought down but was uncontrollable. The fever could be brought down in the morning and it would come back on the afternoon or evening. That’s what I heard. Please confirm. Thank you.
3. It wasn’t happened in 252 hospital. It was happened in the school of PLA. A group of soldier ate bad things and their fevers couldn’t be brought down. 252 Hospital suspects that it is SARS. Those solders have already been isolated. The hospital has blocked info exchange. Everybody please don’t go there. I have relatives in there. They told me today.

A conversation was posted on Baidu

XXOO:Hubei Baoding No. 252 Hospital of PLA. Now they have received more than 100 patients.
■■■■■: There is rumour about Baoding No.252 Hospital. However, it is not very detailed.
XXOO: Mutated SARS. The first patient is from the PLA school in Qingyuan, Baoding. Most of the patients in the hospital are young soldiers. Because this is a PLA hospital.
■■■■■: What about the symptons? Are they same as SARS? Fever?
XXOO: It was said that Baidu News and Baoding News would release info. However, I don’t know the reason for not releasing news. It was transmitted through upper respiratory tract

Not only did the sunset Chief Executive Donald Tsang have fun on the yacht and private jet of tycoons, but he also received “care” that allows him to move to Shenzhen Donghai Huayuan after his retirement. The duplex Tsang rents is built by East Pacific Group, which is owned by Huang Chu-biao, a member of the national committee of The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a supporter of Henry Tang. Tsang was allowed to rent by exception and the rent is much lower than the rate of return. Huang Chu-biao is also the major shareholder of Digital Broadcasting Corporation Hong Kong Limited. Tsang gave out license to DBC HK and exercised discretionary power to approve Arthur Li Kwok-cheung (former Secretary for Education and Manpower) to be the chairman of it. It is obvious that there is a conflict of interest

Oriental Daily disclosed photos of “Big House of the Tsangs”.

Apple Daily created a relationship map “The Blessing Foundation of the Tsang’s Circle”. The man on top is Huang Chu-biao, who leases his luxury duplex to Tsang. The man on the left is Cheung Chung Kiu, who has 50% stake of Western Harbour Tunnel and 39.5% stake of Tate’s Cairn Tunnel, and he picked up Tsang to Bangkok with his private jet. Thomas Lau Luen-hung, on the lower left-hand corner, the boss of Sogo Hong Kong, provided Tsang his private yacht for enjoyment in Macao. Lau also nominates Tang to be the Chief Executive.

Notorious Speeches by Hong Kong Chief Executive Candidate Henry Tang

It’s about time to review his notorious speeches.

Clip 1: On Nov 18th 2009, Henry Tang, who was the Chief Executive for Administration, attended Legco’s discussion on political reform and answered yes disrespectfully to the question whether the new proposal of election system would strengthen the worsening social problems like widening gap between rich and poor in Hong Kong

“A Mainlander Hating Hongkonger”

Weibo user yk_chan from Shenzhen snapped a picture of a Hongkonger who was said to be Mainlander-hating in a clinic in Hong Kong, and a Hong Kong netizen posted her Weibo back to Hong Kong.

A Mainlander-Hating Hongkonger
I want to express my feeling before I sleep. Today, I was in a Hong Kong clinic, I saw a woman telling nurses repeatedly that she hates Mainlander with half of her mouth covered. What I want to say is that the so called “Hongkonger”, who maybe from Mainland China, can say this sentence because you are jealous of us, entered your life as we are rich, living better than you.

Psyche: If they are f***ing great, they should stay inside Mainland China, drink tainted milk and get their anus stitched. (*A midwife in a Shenzhen hospital stitched her patient anus for not getting enough “red pocket money“.)

Henry Tang is Officialy the Candidate of Hong Kong Cheif Executive Election

Despite the “underground palace” scandal, Henry Tang refuses to quit the race and has just submitted nomination form with 379 signatures from the election committee to become the official candidate of Hong Kong Cheif Executive at 4 pm.
“Mr Tang, you still have the face to join the election?”

Replacements: Tsang Yok-Sing and Regina Ip

According to Apple Daily (1 & 2),

After the revelation of “underground palace”, Henry Tang, who was set to be the Chief Executive, bankrupted his credibility and disrupted the plan of Beijing. It was said that Beijing has sent many secret envoys to collect information in Hong Kong and determine the response of Hongkonger if Tang becomes CE. Beijing may decide the fate of Henry Tang within 72 hours.

Jasper Tsang Yok-sing had never thought that he would become the most popular choice. His DAB background makes him a “honey” for the business circle instantly.  Some heavyweights in the business circle persuaded him to join the battle after Henry Tang’s “underground palace” scandal. He also prepared himself as the “super reserve” after Beijing’s decision on the political fate of Tang. Tsang has high probability of becoming the new CE under the support of Tang camp.
