This week, the internet has finally arrived in our tiny new headquarters. These past few days have reminded me of the slower pace of the real world. New daily routines lead me to reflect on the status of the world's oldest startup. It seems a perfect opportunity to choose a new starting point and it can happen now. Circumstances call for a new approach to meet this moment of transition in our village. We take this moment to honor the wisdom and contribution of our remarkable elders. Those who built our Hong Kong with their bare hands are passing in great numbers. It is a chance to reflect on our own mortality and how we live and love each other. We have time for learning from this local tragedy on the scale of a world record. The lessons from ground zero have the greatest potential for a serious impact. What will we take from this to remember them well? Naturally,

HK Pharmacists are taking your calls.To alleviate crowds at physical shops and serve people isolating at home, HK Pharmacists have set up a free WhatsApp hotline offering advice for prompt treatment of symptoms with online dispensary and delivery services when isolating at home; all messages are assessed for urgency and care is provided on priority basis. Unable to find anything online, I prepared this for sharing. The Association is in touch with the HKSAR government to secure funding and cover the delivery costs (HK$100 average) for those who need help.
