Babies separated from mothers due to Hong Kong’s Covid-19 restrictions
Families in Asia’s financial hub of Hong Kong are suffering isolation and trauma after strict coronavirus rules have led to babies being separated from parents and those with newborns herded into tiny quarantine quarters for up to 14 days.
Hong Kong authorities have ordered that anyone testing positive for the virus must go to hospital, including babies, while all their close contacts, even those who test negative, are sent to makeshift quarantine camps.
“It’s crazy,” said one mother, who said she had to abruptly stop breastfeeding following separation from her seven-month-old son last week after she was diagnosed with COVID-19.
“I got fever last night because I have gone from breastfeeding to 100% pumping,” said the woman, who asked not to be identified.
“So instead of dealing with COVID, I’m dealing with blocked sore breasts.”
The separation of families over the virus is not common in other developed cities, say legal experts.
Good afternoon to everyone at the Giza family.

As a side note, I read the Pied Piper yesterday. I’d forgotten that when the Mayor of the village refused to pay the agreed upon price for the rat riddance, the Piper led the village children through a ‘portal’ in the mountainside. The children were never seen again.
If it wasn’t bad enough that i feel physically ill today, i came across this on a Greek translated site by their mainstream media online popping up on google, with parent comments in a complete terror haze. It was the last thing i needed to see, suddenly i feel like the current macabre king, not that wish that title in the least. I always seriously disliked the Pied Piper, thought it was very disturbing borderline evil.
Thank you for the heartfelt offer, it would be most healing.
