SPEAKING OF SEEMINGLY UNSCALABLE

mountains, the Hong Kong government is currently scratching its head and trying to work out how to convince more people to get the Covid-19 jab, as only 17 per cent of the population was fully vaccinated as of June.

It seems to be having an effect: when developers Chinese Estates Holdings and Sino Group’s philanthropic arm Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation announced they were giving a brand-new HK$10.8 million apartment to a resident who have been vaccinated, appointment applications surged to their highest levels in three weeks. Are we allowed to get the shots more than once?
