I was trying to do the exact same thing without git and coding (so that people could just view the bookmarks, maybe react to them as a voting mechanism). Ironically I ended up coding a solution for that - https://www.axomark.xyz .

The previous version was a free service without the need to sign up - just create a bookmark collection page with an optional password, then anyone with the password can use it right away. The link to the collection could be totally anonymous because the app tracked nothing at all. But I got 0 users, apart from myself. So I rewrote it from scratch to make the collections more organizable. The sharing is still anonymous because there's no way for another user to know who created them. There has to be a way, however to track your own bookmarks, so I guess it's not truly "anonymous" as in "impossible to track" (the database contains the bookmark owner). But it seemed this time around people are more interested. I guess there has to be a balance.

The related news I could find were all in Chinese I'm afraid. You'll need to translate it.

[2] Official amendment of the numbers in Hubei Province. The day before, the newly confirmed cases reported in the Hubei Province was 349, while that of Wuhan city was 615 (Wuhan is a city in Hubei).

Given the incubation period is > 14 days, and more than just a few of the patients don't show symptoms at all, you'd be spreading the virus before you know it without a face mask.

Well said. I don't get why people are so optimistic and keep trusting the WHO, given they have downplayed the situation multiple times, and that China was doing a brilliant job to contain the Wuhan Corona Virus.

Look at the spread of the corona virus in South Korea and Italy now. Then look at Hong Kong and Taiwan, whose people don't trust China for even a bit.

The first thing China did was to detain whistle blowers. One of them died from this virus. What they did was to conceal the outbreak, not tackling it.

Perhaps a more important concern is that to get this, you have to allow the police who have been committing all sorts of crimes to get a 2.6 billion hkd budget to buy even more weapons against civilians. This is nothing but a scam.
