    Outside Walter Reed where the sidewalk is packed with Trump supporters and media awaiting Trump’s departure. Marine One just landed at the hospital’s helipad, easy viewing from across the street.

    Reminds me of Hong Kong where cannons and tear gas weren't effective deterrents for long either. After months, you even saw countermeasures like interlocking umbrellas and brick roadblocks.

    Footage of protesters in Belarus fighting back a water cannon and tearing at its side panels. Deploy this stuff repeatedly, you're likely to see people grow accustomed to it and stand their ground.

    So the “source familiar with the president’s health” turns out to be Meadows undercutting nine of Trump’s physicians in a bungled attempt to go off record, if it weren’t for the wire feed. Man, this whole thread is a trip.

    Another sign of how police are on alert today. No sign of protesters gathering in Lo Tak Ct of Tsuen Wan yet, where people have called for a demonstration online, but riot police officers are out in force, patrolling the area and searching anyone that looks suspicious.

    Top: Pro-Beijing events today. Bottom: A 4-man pro-democracy demo today. I asked police earlier if there were any double standards when it came to enforcing social distancing rules today. They told that "enforcement actions are not based on any political stance."

    A moment I'll never forget on the impact of tear gas in an urban center: A receptionist donning a gas mask casually watches the frontline fight past his building. Outside, bystanders scramble for fresh air.
