Viral insanity

RTHK has just reported thusly:

A staff working at the government’s Information Services Department has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The employee visited New Zealand and Britain when he went on vacation between March 7 and 18.

After returning to Hong Kong, he’s been working from home, without returning to the office or getting into contact with his colleagues.

He works at the department’s office in Harbour Building in Sheung Wan. As a precaution, authorities have arranged the office and other public areas in the building to be disinfected.

So time and effort will be spent on disinfecting a building that has not been visited by the infected person or by anyone who has been in contact with them.

That is certifiable behaviour! Whoever ordered it needs to be put under psychiatric care – they certainly aren’t currently fit for work.
