HONG KONG—With the U.S. government recommending Americans wear facial coverings to curb the new coronavirus, this mask-obsessed city directly in the path of the pandemic’s first wave is an example of a community that started early—and remains convinced that masks helped slow the contagion.
Hong Kong should have been slammed by Covid-19. The city of 7.5 million is among the world’s most densely populated and has the world’s busiest overland border crossings with mainland China. Hong Kong was seeded in January with the new...
F*** that! Last time I CHECKED this was STILL the United States of America NOT United States of COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST AMERICA!! This is their PLAN to CONTROL US under the guise of HEALTH SERVICES!
Not much social distancing from this pic.
we have to wear pants?
New York City has a population of 26,000 per sq mi. Hong Kong about 18,500 per sq mi. Where I live 96 per sq mi. South Dakota? 11. So we should all deal with this plague in exactly the same way?
Wearing a mask to combat a respiratory related virus is just common sense!
Look at what's happen around the world. Think twice. We should protect our people and healthcare professionals. mask4all
Last year HK people suffered a lot in democratic movements but the world turned a blind eye because of economic benefits earned from China! We learned to save ourselves.
HKers learned from SARS a decade ago. The claim that wearing masks wrongly could not help is an absolutely strange argument like doing exercise wrongly could hurt yourself.
Good, that’s a better way to deal with this situation. Rather than killing the economy.
It will be hard not to wear masks after all this is over. Chinese citizens were wearing masks way before Covid-19 due to high levels of pollution, and now it’s even more prevalent.
I want a mask.
By the Grace of God, all Americans get masks.
Doesn't the government want to ban masks hiding the identities of protesters?
Obviously in Hong Kong gloves and masks are readily available.
Wearing masks outside is a temporary measure until the virus subsides. It’s infinitely better than being on house arrest with no income, no human contact, stores shutdown, etc.
Or maybe stop eating bats. - Earth
This what every country needs to abduct. We can't shutdown forever. Continuous testing, practice hygiene, social distancing and wear facemask.
Masks don't work. 🎭
No thanks!!
May be honkong people have no panic about corona virus
Many of them offer their spare mask, instead of call the cops to drag people out of the bus.
They wear masks in the shower, it’s nothing new.
we have learnt from 2003 SARS, we knew that this is the most easy way that we can protect ourselves! i hope all of the countries can be aware of the preventive method as well! try not to discriminate whoever wearing a mask, those ppl tried to protect u and themselves
I believe in international experts, the wuhan virus is just a normal coronavirus. Washing hands is more important in preventing the infection, and people can recover with our immute system. But the hk govt, media and doctors exaggerated the fact and cause hkers over panic.
What the fuck you expect? We have experience in combat SARS since 2003, we know what the masks capable of. We wore mask to avoid inhale the gems exhaled by any irresponsible person, we dont expect contaminated personel are capable to behave themselves and as long as
And Carrie Lam was telling us that we ought not to wear one.
Hongkongers use mask to protect themselves. But the Hong Kong government carry mask ban by emergency regulations to kill hongkongers.
Wearing mask is not culture. It is straightly science. Hope western countries see this.
for a disease of mortality rate as low as 1% ? haha never heard that before
Save yourself. Wear masks. Never trust China CCP COVID19Pandemic SanctionChinaCCP StandWithHongKong
Mask works But Masks from CCPChina do not
CCP & Hong Kong Gov't officials often lie, so no HKers trust them. HKers demand to shut down the border & ppl coming back from China be quarantined at home for 2 weeks which they refuse to do, so we protect ourselves by wearing masks & avoid gatherings & dining at restaurants.
ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied HongKong and Taiwan as the two countires who put no faith on China. That’s why we put on the masks to protect ourselves against the CommunistVirus
The irony is that Hong Kong people are wearing face masks to protect against Wuhanvirus pandemic, while HKGov is appealing the court ruling that the anti masks law that it introduced by bypassing the Legislature is unconstitutional
Since January, public efforts to curb the virus way surpassed the slow gov response HongKongers COVIDー19
Well, it is far worse than not wearing pants, you would be treated as a WALKING VIRUS if you don’t wear a mask in Hong Kong. Masks are “passes” to access to shops, offices, buses, trains and many other places.
Never trust WHO.
Self-protection and also a protection to others.
HK have learnt from SARS in 2003. So far, we are doing quite well despite being led by a useless HKgov.
The banmask law has not withdrew in HK. But the Governor & HKPoliceTerrorists are always wearing masks. Meantime, there is a penalty of HK$2000 if you don't wear mask before and finished the food in restaurant. How ridiculous they are !
If trying to understand the possible ways the virus may be spread, wearing face masks is absolutely helps.
Our government’s sole focus has been appeasing China. It doesn’t give a darn to its own people. Cornered by a useless and totalitarian regime, we only have ourselves to rely on. We have learnt from what we experieced from SARS (thx to China, again, btw). We paid with blood&tears.
Aerosol transmission is a known mode of COVID19. Wearing the right masks properly can block the coronavirus transmission. The relatively low infection rate in HongKong can be attributed to Hong Kong people's wearing masks. WearMaskSaveLives
we leant from SARS 2013, but our HKGovernment encourage HKERs did not wear mask at the begining of VIRUS Outbreak😡so rediculous
Please understand that we the HKers experienced the SARS tragedy in 2003. We knew that wearing masks with good personal hygiene is the best protection against respiratory viruses. Never listen to the China-centric WHO.

Never trust CCP. Never trust WHO.
Ironically, they wanted to ban wearing a mask in last year for preventing protesters to cover their face and declaims that who wearing a mask are the ”Rioters”. But today they insist to wear a mask every day. CCPVirus
HK is saving by HKers themselves, not by HKGov
Don’t doubt the relatively ‘low’ counts in HK. We jumped right in fighting the shit since Jan without the gov. Social distancing, masks, disinfectants... We’re even educated how to flush the toilet. We survived SARS, we know Chinese viruses & can’t let them wipe us out again
Just take all necessary precautions that you think can protect you and the people around you. Don't listen to China-backed WHO
The most important lesson is don't trust China
What else can we do if the Hong Kong government keep letting the Chinese border open and making us get infected?
Coz HK haa become a failed state and we don’t believe in both HK gov and CCP. We know ChinaLiedPeopleDied. That’s why we are here to save ourselves. World wear mask and wash hands, together we stay strong!
SARS in 2003 killed 299 in Hongkong. The CCP covered it up, we were under-prepared. We can't let the tragedy happen again.
Hongkongers count on themselves to fight against the virus, as well as the tyranny!
No evidence They can rant all they want.
jolingkent I mean, how can it not work? Anything that helps keep a person's saliva on their person, and decreases the amount of times their saliva may get on their hands, will definitely decrease the spread of any germ.
It (wearing mask) is the right thing to do.
Due to Hkgov didn’t fully closure borders + many gaps in🏠quarantine sys. We can only actively wear😷 to protect ourselves. Btw;as our experience,I wld like to appeal everyone wear😷actively.This is the most direct & reliable psl prev measure. Hope everyone will overcome ASAP🙏🏼
A face mask can keep you safe from coronavirus
Hong Kong, and also Taiwan, were the epidemic zone of SARS in 2003. We know clearly how untrustworthy Communist China is, so we get prepared early, even though HK govt acted incompetently in containing WuhanVirus. ChinaLiedPeopleDied MakeChinaPay
The HK government seldom encourage HK residents should wear the mask if they go out, and also it never helps HKGs to find the mask for needs, some masks from HKgovernment were disappeared and never issue to HKGs. See what’s the HK government do today.
Main point is never trust CCP and it’s puppet , WHO ! Both of them don’t care about human life, they covered the truth of COVID19 . Now numberless people are paid for their lies. WHOLiedPeopleDied
This is why civil society where every one participates is so important. China wants Hong Kong to become a city under authoritarian rule, we have to refuse
All we do because we know HK government is not truly serving HK citizens, they just the running dog of CCP, try to help CCP gain as many as benefits from International world via Hong Kong
Wearing mask, protect yourself and your love
We have show the world and WHO that it is useful for everyone wearing a face mask for preventing the WuhanCoronaVirus. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
At times, it may seem over reacting. Yet, when give it a second thought：even 1 person can distroy the other's collective effort. It's understandable why ppl r ensuring cooperation fr one another.
Hongkongers did not believe in the CCP puppet scam of not wearing a mask, this saving ourselves
We can only save by ourselves when the HK GOV’T is totally useless and trustless
WHO eventually admitted face mask wearing can protect people from infected with WuhanCoronaVirus
LoveHongKongXD This is how a prominent epidemiologist educated us: Hongkongers, whether local or abroad, shouldn't be afraid of others laughing at us. Just watch & c who can laugh till the end - v gd advice for those feeling ashamed wearing masks.
HK ppl don’t trust China, that’s why they put the mask on face at very beginning. The Gov of China & hk are lier, we do it by ourself.
Afrer SARS in 2003, public health awareness in HK people has risen a lot. We wash our hands and wear masks. However, it is the government who is still living in the past: slow reactions, poor decision making and low transparency.
Tats the experience we learned from SARS 2003 which was also inducted by 🇨🇳.
With the experience of 2003 SARS outbreak, we know wearing masks is one of the best ways to stop the coronavirus outbreak. Sometimes I forget to remove the masks before eating the meals because wearing masks has become part of the daily life. HongKong
The first thing to do in effective fight against WuhanCoronaVirus is not to trust CCP China, which is crystal clear a hostile country to all others, and send virus to the whole world.
WuhanVirus ChineseVirus
We have learnt a lot from SARS. 1. China hid the outbreak 2. HK govt. is not reliable 3. Wear mask can protect us and prevent other ppl be infected. chinavirus ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Survival 101: never trust CCP and its puppets.

We HongKongers learned the hard lessons of SARS. So, trust me. Universal masking is effective in preventing the spread of coronavirus. COVID19 ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied WHOLiedPeopleDied
Wear Mask Save Life And Don’t trust CCP
WHO recommended incorrect measures, so what makes you think that these paid officials know best?! Protect yourself and don’t trust a government that tries to silence their healthcare workers.
Ironically, untrustworthy gov gives us alertness towards community outbreak. Outbreak is minimized by social norm, not by slow gov response CCPVirus WuhanCoronavirus
Because of the useless Hong Kong Government, only Hongkongers can save ourselves. CCPVirus WuhanVirus
CCP concealed the Chinese Virus outbreak but now the world pays the price !!
HK locusts, 给爷 爪巴！
All Credit goes to all HongKongers, never Carrie Lam.
Because Hongkongers know that we can’t trust CCP ‘s information. AntiChinazi CCPLiedPeopleDied CCPVirus China_is_terrorist HongKongIsNotChina HongKongProtests HongKong
The government did nothing in this battle. Except asking hongkong ppl not to wear masks. CarrieLam even once said she would take off her fellows’ masks if they wear it. Rubbish !
It’s the HKer saving each other by wearing mask and staying high alert but not because of the measures introduced by the puppet Carrie Lam
Because SARS was every Hongkonger’s nightmare.
Don’t believe China. Wearing mask. Then, you can prevent the WuhanCoronaVirus
We should be patient and help those who cannot afford the daily mask. The HKGOV fail to secure and distribute masks to the needed. Hongkongers help one another.
Under CoronavirusPandemic, Hongkongers completely save ourselves from CCPVirus by our own effort, and without any help from incapable Hong Kong government!😠💪💛 SOSHK
Hong Kong people are protecting on their own, it has nothing to do with the shitty government
Masks in East Asian cultures are just as much for collective protection as for self-protection. With a social history of virus epidemics, understanding health as an interdependent dynamic works.
Tell your fellow gweilos to mask up while in Hong Kong or expect a lambasting. When in HongKong, do as the Hongkongers do.
I don't want to look like an Asian country where everyone wears a mask. The air in China is horribly polluted and their cities are much more densely populated than even the most crowded US cities. Social shaming is a horrible idea. Horrible.
Stand with Hong Kong, fight for freedom and against disease, hope Hong Kong doctors and people safe,never give up and add oil 💪💪💪
Because we don't trust the WHO
fktws If you agree that a sick person should wear a mask, you should wear one as there are many asymptomatic confirmed cases already. If you can't buy one, make one. And please rmb who should be held accountable for the global outbreak. ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
Keep calm and carry on masks. It helps to protect you and your love ones
No one in Hong Kong trusts WHO, CCP and the Hong Kong regime. We had experienced a very hard time in 2003 and we cannot make the same mistakes again. Masks are not only used to protect ourselves, but also protecting our medical workers.
1) Hongkongprotest has refrained chinazi from coming; 2) Social movement gives rise to labour union to fight against the tyranny so the 1st medical strike won public support for border closure; 3) HKers become connected to share mask with one another in need for prevention.
Wearing mask become a natural habit for Hong Kongers now.
Hongkongers did learn from the history. Never trust CCP China is the way to survive. StandwithHK
Yeah they can afford that because evil CCP gave them 20mil masks for free.
Wearing mask is super effective to prevent WuhanVirus
Most of HKers know that HK Government always use different dirty works to escape their problems and working with CCP for the virus, so we are wear the mask in January.
Yes, hongkong people need to protect ourselves as we cannot depend on the government! Wish we can defeat the virus soon!
I cannot imagine how the outbreak can be contained if not by wearing masks and keeping social distance. It's hard time but we will get it through together. Stay strong and healthy.
Wearing a mask is not for yourself. You never know are you infected or not, the disease could be asymptomatic yet infectious. It is for the sake of public health, to minimise the transmission as much as possible.
Fight for WuhanCoronavius like HK 1. Stay alert on personal protection & keep clean.; 2. Don't believe China formal info. about outbreak, usually fake; 3. Don't trust pro-Beijing WHO about China situation. 2nd wave has came, hold on 3 rules above & win.
The irony is that the all mighty CarrieLam passes a regulation banning wearing facial mask lasr year. Worse still, the Hong Kong government is still appealing the court decision declaring the said regulation unconstitutional in the midst of the pandemic. WuhanVirus
But China steal a lot of mask from the world Then CCP sell mask now

That is what we learnt from the nightmare of SARS. For you own good as well as for the people of your country, please just put your mask on. Save your precious life for something worth and meaningful but not on COVID19.
As one of the Hongkongers, I here provide you with some advice about wearing masks. Hope they might help 😷💪 Add oil, my fellow friends around the world.
We know that only if we wear the masks can we defeat the CCPVirus
started from mid 2019
From late Jan to now, many HongKongers including me have never relied on or trusted the CCP leaning HongKong govt under this WuhanVirus pandemic. In fact, we can only rely on ourseleves, esp. since the govt intended to place politics over human lives - what CCP's doing now.
Trusting the HKGov is like trusting CCP
Protect yourself and the people who you love, please wear a mask.
People who infected COVID-19 can have no symptoms. So we don’t know if we are infected or not. We protect ourselves and each other by putting on masks. This prevents the coronavirus from spreading easily during daily contact.
Cool. That’s HK not here. No thanks
ThuyMyRFI Yes
Wearing mask is protecting yourself and others; as the COVID2019 could be no obvious symptom. Mask on, please!
not wearing masks mean selfish!
It's amazing how many people are ignorant of the fact that viruses are much smaller than the oxygen molecule.
The sense of togetherness is strong in the Hong Kong community. After all, we all want to play a part to curb the pandemic, and it's not much to wear a mask just to protect each other! No one should wait till the day our gov saves the day.
A woman wearing a mask and no pants. The guy dream.
Hundreds of years ago ,the western countries wore the mask. But they have forgot ! They couldn't learn from the past.
Wear mask is a MUST against CCPVirus. The china gvnt & WHO's behaviour did just help the virus spread
specrtre 'City residents triple down on the opportunity to signal superior holiness and lecture the world about how special they are' They do indeed cc thespandrell Masterwang
Oh that's great. I live in a small town in northern Michigan. Not a store has masks here. NOT ONE. No gloves no nothing.....
Okay but let's not do that. Let's use masks, but not become fucking assholes about it.
The parents of the big group of kids in our neighborhood constantly out playing together could use some shaming!
China broke that protest up
Are there pics of people not wearing pants? Post link.
They got the Pascal's wager (somewhat modified) right.
The useless government in Hong Kong didn’t even have face masks available to their own public hospitals. Because most of supplies gone to China and the main politicians. The citizens sort their own out by buying from independent business and charities org.
They did a good job😊
