Paradoxically, the strong and spontaneous mobilization observed in Hong Kong was a consequence of the population's devastating memories of the SARS outbreak in 2003 and the social unrest in 2019, as well as of their skepticism of the pandemic figures, assessments and recommendations given by the authorities of HKSAR, mainland China, and the World Health Organization (WHO). In the early stages of the pandemic (January to March), the rate of support for the Chief Executive was also recorded below 20 over 100, and less than 30% of the population trusted the government and were satisfied with the police force (Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, 2020d; Ho, 2020).	./cache/cord-313900-tx3m4gu4.txt	./txt/cord-313900-tx3m4gu4.txt
