What's wrong with your team on putting an irrelevant photo of protests way back before the outbreak? Are you buying Beijing's narrative that it is caused by protests? Your whole article said NOTHING about leaky borders (exempted quarantine from seafarers and aircrew).

Did you know the HK government are charging ridiculous amounts of money just to get tested. I reckon their numbers are 300% higher judging by the fact many people can't afford a test.
and tell us the protests had nothing to do with that.
HK outlawed wearing masks as they wanted to ID protestors
No doubt she can find space in the Uighurs concentration camps sorry 'vocational skills training centres' for any protesters
