     @loke Escalating. We are not peaking where Singapore peaked, we have passed it and still going.
     
     Supermarket closes at 8 pm, but it doesn't matter as the meat, fruit and vegetables are gone from the shelves anyway.

     @loke The government is still aiming at "dynamic covid zero strategy". I haven't looked up what that means, but in practice I guess it means adapt measures according to situation with the aim to get back to zero.
     
     Not sure if that's possible with over 200 k known cases currently active.

     I will never understand the way Hongkongers use medical services. They look at me strange when I say "it's just a fever, let him rest and drink water and we'll see tomorrow if it's still there" rather than rushing the kid to a clinic at the slightest discomfort.

     @clacke It does seem we have hit the peak here, even though numbers are still big.

     I checked recent news reports on this from HK and it seems people are calling for ambulances when they have no symptoms? Are they still aiming for covid zero? It wasn't clear from the article I read.

     @loke We're currently coming up on 35000 cases per day. There was a jump last week as they changed from having a double-check latency to treating all RAT positives as positive right away. That explains the artifact of cases going up then down, that was the backlog going away.

     @clacke sounds to me me like it means accepting it to be endemic while both admitting it's endemic. Here they're doing the opposite, saying it's endemic but keeping measures in place that only made sense when they're going for covid zero.

     In fact, even during the height of the pandemic they kept claiming they weren't going for covid zero, when in practice actually doing it.
