Are you worried about H1N1?


Well don't be. A billion Chinese are already. Signs are posted all over the
place telling when different parts of town have been last disinfected and will be again. The average is about every 2.5 hours. There are "pollution experts" (their uniform says so) that go around disinfecting high-traffic areas of human touching. While this is very reassuring, the signs warning you about coughing aren't exactly. I'm not saying that anything bad will happen or that they're implying something will, but there was a threat to quarantine anybody who's suspiciously ill at the HK airport. There was a line through the line "the government of China will hold you" but the message was clear. You can get into trouble for being sick and not wearing a mask. Needless to say the allergy medicine is in full effect. And people are worried about too much government in our health care.

Here are some pictures of different dwellings in HK. Some are for animals. Some are for people. Some are for money-making animals. - Andrew
