SARS
SARS- Those 4 letters are striking fear into most Hong Kong people. SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and it struck Hong Kong in late 2002 and it killed around 700 people in Hong Kong and China. Those who lived through it tells stories of the city shutting down and no one wanted to face anyone or go to the hospital for fears of getting SARS or even dying.
Now, it may be back again. A few weeks ago a, currently, mysterious viral outbreak has reached Hong Kong from China. Several dozen in and around the city of Wuhan, China have been affected by this outbreak and a few cases have been reported in Hong Kong because they also went to the city of Wuhan.
A mad rush is on to go and buy face masks just in case. However, many stores are sold out of masks and it is unclear when they will receive more. The same can be said for hand sanitizers.
Why now? It is unknown what the cause of this outbreak actually comes from. Perhaps, it is a punishment from God or at least a warning from God about the current actions on both sides of the Hong Kong border.
We suppose if things get really bad many people will pray to the false Chinese gods in hopes of protection and recovery.
We hope that many will turn to God and His mother for hope in protection and recovery.
