Biter to chew on 14.5 years in prison

Crime

Warning: Graphic image depicting a failed attempt to reattach an ear below.

A 52-year-old man has gotten a 14 year and six-month prison sentence for biting off the left ear of Andrew Chiu, a former district councillor, stabbing another man with a knife, and injuring two others during anti-government protests in November 2019.

An attempt to reattach Chiu’s ear failed, as shown in the below image.

Coronavirus in Hong Kong

  • New cases: 600

    • 11 imported

    • 320 detected by PCR tests, 280 by RATs

  • Testing is required for people who were present at 40 specified locations.

  • Lockdown update: Seven positive cases were found in Sheung Shui’s Ching Chak House overnight.

  • The government launched a new QR code for people who have recovered from the virus, making them exempt from the vaccine bubble for six months once they’ve recovered.

  • Bookings are now open for Hong Kong’s at-home vaccination services for people who are elderly and disabled.

  • Three cinema companies in Hong Kong will not be serving food or beverages once they reopen tomorrow (personally, I sneak in all my cinema snacks).

  • Three people have been arrested for allegedly faking positive rapid COVID-19 tests to the government’s online platform to get some sick time off work.

  • City University researchers have designed a special shield that can be used over a bed to reduce cross-infection, with the intention to use them in elderly care homes.

Kinder chocolates hold dangerous surprise

Kinder Salmonella Moments mini mix. This meme’s on me.

Kinder has made a massive recall on a chocolate product that was imported into Hong Kong due to a possibility of salmonella contamination. The chocolate batch in question is the Happy Moments mini mix with best-before dates of 7 and 8 July. This is the fifth product by the Belgian company to be recalled.
