Last updated: 2020-02-01 23:02The number of confirmed cases of new coronaviruses has continued to rise, and there has been a surge in mask purchases in Hong Kong, making the market "hard to find." The owner of a skewer shop in Tai Po saw that the port mask was in short supply. During the outbound tour, he decided to return to the Hong Kong-style neighborhood with four "pop masks". The 2,000 masks were distributed within 20 minutes. The boss said that buying masks under the tide is so expensive that it is difficult for the grassroots to afford it. "You have to look like this, even a face mask is affordable, and you have to find a government to get it." Help Hong Kong people.
The "Rainbow Snack Skewers Specialty Shop" in Yuntoutang, Tai Po, held a mask distribution event today. It hopes to help residents in shortage of masks. A total of 2,000 masks will be distributed within 20 minutes, and nearly 500 people will be queued for them. The boss said that when he traveled to Okinawa, Japan, he had planned to buy a mask for personal use, but I saw from the news the situation in Hong Kong, "It's better to buy a nearby neighborhood". Later, he found that masks in many Japanese shops had also been snapped up, and there was a significant increase in prices. The fourth brother drove around to find "the first thing to go to a good mountain". As a result, he spent tens of thousands of yuan and used his peers. The baggage allowances of relatives and friends brought multiple boxes of masks bought to Hong Kong.

Elderly mask mask paper towel sees sadness
"How much is done, how can I rely on this government?" The skewer shop opened for 11 years. Sige pointed to many neighborhoods in the district, "Live me, support me." There are also many elderly homes nearby. Many elders pass by. Brother Si said that the recent surge in mask purchases was prohibitively expensive. "Everyone has a few cents, a box of ten mosquitoes and eight mosquitoes, and IKEA stirs up a lot of old water in Guizhou." It is really difficult for the grassroots. The fourth brother also pointed out that the pictures he saw made him more sad. "A lot of father-in-laws, first of all know how to wear, and secondly, they wear a very thin one, and they want to take a paper towel to tie in their face. Even a face mask ca n’t be afforded (affordable), and a government can help you? ”So the fourth brother said that Hong Kong people should help Hong Kong people now, hoping that they can help others when they have the ability,“ I will collect money, some people think Donate money well, and the Bible says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Hope to do another distribution event
The mask distribution operation this time, the number of recipients in the queue is limited to five per person. The fourth brother pointed out that yesterday had been given priority to long-term patients, pregnant women, children and so on. Today, it has been publicly distributed. Yes, it does n’t matter what you do. Brother Si said that he would not mind even if he sent more, he would continue to search for different ways to purchase masks, hoping to hold the next distribution event. He also believes that on the bright side, he hopes that the shortage of masks can be resolved in the short term.
