AS A CODA to our observations on the surge in Covid infections in Hong Kong, we note the suggestion of Tam Yiu-chung, Hong Kong’s sole deputy on the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, that the all-hands-on-deck fight against the outbreak in the city would be a reason for postponing the election of Hong Kong’s chief executive due to be held on March 27.
As it is a thankless job that no one appears to want — there are no announced serious candidatures, not even that of the incumbent Carrie Lam (above) — that could prove convenient all around.
Update: Lam says she will postpone the election to May 8.
