When a police officer and a coronavirus control team checked an apartment in a high-rise building they found a couple who had died at home. The police looked upset and told the team that this case must not be reported as a coronavirus death. - Man in red: Let’s open the door together. Officer in yellow: Yes, open it. Man in red (pries the door open and knocks again): Teacher Tang? Man in red: Come here, take a picture. Woman: Any problems over there? Man in red: Teacher Tang? Officer in yellow: Two people inside. Group: Aiyah! Woman: Photograph each of them. Man 1: Too bad. This is a big problem, and a headache. Man 2: Two people (dead). Man 3: Call 110 (the emergency line). Man in red: We cannot report this case. Officer in yellow: No, we cannot. Man (to a by passer): Stay away. Which floor do you live on? Man: Let’s get a forehead thermometer so we can try to do it ourselves, as we cannot report this case. Man (yelling at the by passer): This is none of your business! Go away! -
