July 1, 2020, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China: Various banks and shops fortified to protect against vandalism for their links to China. HSBC Causeway Bay has the bank and all access to ATM’s concealed. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day. Twenty-three years after Hong Kong was handed by Britain back to Chinese rule, Beijing is pushing to implement tough new national security laws that will suppress the pro-democracy protests seen in the city. It will shatter the Sino-British Joint Declaration where China agreed to the One country, Two systems government. The banning of traditional marches for the first time, has infuriated the public.

zReportage.com Story of the Week #746: TUESDAY July 21, 2020: THE INVISIBLE MAN by ZUMA Press Photographer Svetlana Bachevanova: extraordinary Bulgarian photojournalist. 2001 emigrated to USA. 2010, launched FotoEvidence, a NGO supporting the role photojournalists play, with a book publishing award. Svetlana gives us, a personal view of her sons life saving isolation under coronavirus. VLADI, 40, was five years old when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Thirty-three when he lost 70% of his vision and 37 when he went through a kidney transplant, requiring him to take immunosuppressant drugs daily for the rest of his life. He takes an additional eight different medications and will remain quarantined until a vaccine is developed. With the arrival of Covid-19 the threat has become lethal and pervasive. His only interactions are with his family, the local pharmacist and his doctors. One in five people around the world could be at risk of developing a severe case of Covid-19, an international team of scientists has estimated. Since the beginning of the outbreak, health authorities around the world have agreed that people with chronic illnesses are most prone to developing severe or fatal symptoms of the coronavirus, meaning 1.7 billion people around the world, or 22% of the global population, are at ‘increased risk.’ Welcome to: THE INVISIBLE MAN
