I remember when I was growing up in HK. I was bullied in school, so was super happy that schools closed. I wished SARS continued forever. I know that this sounds bad, but to a bullied kid, it was a savior without capes.
The virus originated from a lab! However, the last lab is gone now. Let's see how fast the virus can "evolve" without the lab. It will probably be around until a working vaccine is created.
I remember that my family abstain from eating chicken that whole time. Also watching how first time seeing camera that can check body temperature, so high tech
SARS and Covid19 have common symptoms. It seems to me that the SARS of 2003 evolved to the 2019 outbreak. Luckily Most of the disease didnt reach black Africa,😊
Hong Kong was only able to construct and staff such large isolation camps so quickly with the sheer manpower mobilised by the mainland. Like it or not, China really helped control the fatality rate in Hong Kong--the scale and speed of Covid's spread would have been far too much for Hong Kong to handle alone. SARS, while having a higher fatality rate, spread far slower and burnt itself out even without the aid of vaccines. Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, I had a bad feeling that SARS never really went away in the sixteen years between itself and Covid-19; it could have just gradually evolved. Turns out I was wrong as genetic sequencing showed that it likely came from a different breed of viruses.
"Preemptively"? Are you kidding? Thousands of Hong Kong's doctors and nurses went on strike in January/February 2020 to protest Carrie Lam's refusal/inability to close the HK-mainland border.
@@Cosmo1093 you’re right China was the one refusing to reopen borders, but they were later to shut the Shenzhen border two days after Hong Kong began shutting theirs. I’ve amended my comment, thanks.
Correction: only China took it this seriously. If it's in US, the government would just do nothing, and of course you don't get such serious media coverage. 300 death is like a sneeze to Americans.

bullies get sars instead of our loved ones
Proof
just how many places you've been to
Sorry to hear of your experiences and glad you got through with the unexpected help. Bullying is a problem in most countries.
This is the reason why HK is so cautious the last 3 years
One of most saddest year as well, Leslie and Anita passed away the same year
Sorry for your loss
the darkest days of Hong Kong
@@PaganMin-1966it was a very big news and headline when they died
It can happen again. Let's enjoy the time while we can!
2003 was a terrible year for Hong Kong due to 3 terrible events: SARS, death of Leslie Cheung on 1st April, death of Anita Mui on 30th December :(
Even in 2003, I feel strong and well. SARS can't ruin my life.
Try again when you're 80
And then they say SARS didn’t originate from the mainland !
It definitely from china, come on we need to educate them again and again, when will china ever learn
Why always china?
Most populated country on the planet next to India.
if lab mutation/modification theory is false then Its scary that this virus is evolving and learning itself to get stronger.

Sir, this is a race for galactic dominace. If we can't spread beyond this planet something else will once it wipe out humanity
So was the beginning of them testing biological warfare
I remember sar's

We shall overcome~
The motherland that keeps giving 😅
David-17 was way worse
