One strange thing is happening here in Hong Kong. The health clinics, normally at this time of the year, would see a continuous flow of patients with different seasonal ailments, cold, flu, Hand-foot-and-mouth disease, etc. This year, with the CV outbreak, not so much with the virus, but with the fear, people are wearing face masks and very conscious with their personal hygiene, schools are not open, most people choose to stay home. One strange thing happens, people are not getting sick. The clinics are not seeing any CVs, not even the normal infections. Business is down 90%(exaggerated).
