A traveller from Mexico checked into a Wanchai hotel bringing with him Hong Kong’s first case of Swine Flu according to last nights evening news. With memories of the 2003 SARS epidemic still fresh the authorities sealed in all 300 guests and Chief Executive Donald Tsang urged everyone to stay calm.
So this morning surgical masks were de rigueur, hastily dragged out of a six-year sojourn in the moth balls. One fetching young lass at the shop where I have breakfast had slipped hers under her chin so she could chopstick some noodles into her mouth.
I can’t imagine it will affect business in The Wanch much, not until people start dying from it at least. But when they do I shall be ready to ramp up production of my leather and lace surgical masks.
