first of all i'm going to be upfront and tell you that i'm not some chinese local trying to sneak in canada. i still have my CAD passport and id with me just like everyone here do.
i moved back to hk for around a year and a half now because my grandparents were ill and they wanted to see me. my uncle has relocated them back to the mainlands, however i cannot go with them because i don't have a chinese visa.
alas, i'm the last person left stuck in hong kong.
i've failed to secure a much more desirable delivery of potassium iodide from ebay due to troublesome USA seller whose intellect borderlines to downright stupidity; they don't know or don't want to use UPS which is just as fast as JEMS, despite my insistence of overpaying them for their troubles. so right now, my iodide, with USPS priority won't get here for another 10 days. and i bought it 2 days ago before reactor 3 went to ****.
this is insane.
having lived here for awhile now, i can certainly say there never were any, nor will ever be, iodide stocks readily available, as there are no water purification tablets, no radiation counters and no nothing here.
i've been an avid reader of cold war fictions since my last years of high school, i know my chance of survival in a concrete high rise full of windows left and right during a nuclear fallout is zero.
i know every well that the hk govt is downplaying the seriousness of the meltdown threat just as much as the japanese did. i'd knew the reactor would eventually go into meltdown and i found myself baffled by the false assurances from the Japanese, a plant whose structural integrity with coolant rods is compromised would be an exact replica of Chernobyl meltdown on an even larger scale due to higher output of modern plants.
i also know that it can take exactly 2 days to reach hk by wind current.
canada? 6-8 days.
hospitals will be catastrophically overwhelmed, medicine won't last more than 1 day. the lucky bastards will die either full of painkillers or morphine, while 99.3% of the population will have to suffer a fate worse than death.
it'd be just like black plague. ppl die and rot like cattles, the rich and the poor.
what's hk's radiation prepareness & protocols like for the water resovoirs like? its likely there aren't even any.
in mere 2 days trains to mainland won't do any good, less than 0.7% of the entire population masses will make it to the mainlands only for fallout to reach them as well.
by then it would make no difference. the PLA's notoriety for covering up their incompetency in the rescue effort of the mountain quake in the 60 that killed a million chinese speaks volume of their credibility and efficiency.
the mainlander's strong disdain for hk folks isn't reassuring either. it is questionable if hk will even be receiving humanitarian aid from the PLA fleet at all, i find it unlikely they will ever have any valiance to venture in an irradiated zone to rescue their pro-british and freedom loving "comrades".
the water shortage and contamination will kill us, even if we somehow magically survives a mushroom cloud from japan...with 99%of the population without iodide.
sure underground canals are secure, but how many are there here in hk? they're not clean, even in such desperate times as drink or die, how long will THOSE last with so many people and no water purification tablets?
there will be a complete collaspe of social order, hong kong will be nothing but a footnote in history of mankind. just as japan will be. they didn't want to admit it until now. as it's been said before, the worst case senario will see the majority population of japan wiped out by gamma radiation and toxic dust, those evacuated to the south will suffer the merciless onslaught of cancer and birth defect in the next 100 years to come.
operation tomotachi continues on as the us navy pulls its fleet away, so much for commitment as per the security treaties of sino american post cold war, the USA has no doubt already evacuated or will evac people of significant cultural and heritage importance to preserve what's left of the Japanese people.
but what will the deceitful PRC do, for former british colonist who hated them so?
i'm a faily realistic person, i visited hk during sars epidemic and was trapped, to this day no one had realized the gravity of the situation as i did, when the 2 PRC battleships sailed towards hk i was the only one not overjoyed to see them. i knew they had a full compliment of serviceman and live rounds in their ship cannons to establish a blockade and commence a full quarantine of the entire city. the evidently present and strongfelt panic and fear is something that not very many of you can comprehend beyond the snippets that is broadcasted by fairchild TV or depicted in rthk's short dramas. i was a volunteer in the local community centre to distribute packs and packs of masks for seniors door-to-door in the wanchai district.
i've made up my mind, the moment the reactor transitioned from partial to full meltdown, i'll do my best to secure a ticket and get out before everything goes to hell.
wish me luck.
and kids, don't cause your parents anymore grief by running over to hk, and you can cuss me as much as you want when this blows over. |
