The new coronary virus epidemic continued, and the number of diagnosis of the country exceeded 30,000, and the number of diagnosis in Hong Kong also increased. Last week, the first death case appeared, and three other patients were in danger.Many people have criticized the government for poor response and slow response, which is beyond doubt.However, it is not only the government who is in the face of chaos. Many citizens are not only scrambled to buy masks and grain, but they even buy toilet paper crazy because of rumors.Looking at our society, this Hong Kong, who once defeated SARS several times, was chaotic before the war. It was really frightening.
Last Monday (February 3), Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e announced that it temporarily stopped the operation of Luohu, Luomazhou Branch, Luimazhou Huanggang, and Hong Kong and Macao Terminal to reduce the flow of people entering Hong Kong from the Mainland.As the Shenzhen Bay Port and the Hong Kong -Zhuhai -Macao Bridge are still open, social doubts cannot be lifted. When panic is filled, the rebound of people's conditions is not surprising.The government changed two days later, announcing that all people who had arrived in the Mainland for 14 days before arriving in Hong Kong were separated.From the various exemptions, such as the exemption of cross -border freight drivers in order to maintain the supply of daily life or service of Hong Kong people, as well as those necessary for ensuring the safety of Hong Kong people and the necessary people in health, etc.Practical.
What is the effect of the latest measures? To ensure that all general transit people accept isolation, it should play a better role in hindering the deterioration of the epidemic.Serious impact, if this is only caused by panic, the cost will be huge.Gradually upgrading the epidemic prevention measures instead of one -size -fits -all, not completely wrong. The government's hesitation may be understood.However, the measures repeatedly reflected that the officials were not sure, and the lack of judgment and effective communication required when responding to the epidemic.
The impact of the disease is unpredictable. The occasional negligence is not unimaginable, but the reason why Hong Kong society is disappointed in the government is because everyone is full of expectations.Unlike highly political anti -repair routines, fighting new pneumonia is a public health incident. Hong Kong itself is unique. In addition to having an international medical system, there is also the experience of fighting bird flu, SARS, and pig flu.Don't be at a loss.Furthermore, Lin Zheng served as the director of the Social Welfare Department in 2003 and participated in the first epidemic of SARS.According to the reason, the government can have a beautiful battle through the prevention of epidemic prevention and restore the people's hope. The reality is disappointing.
Anyone who has an experience system does not know how to play
As a veteran of the sand field, Lin Zheng will not know that there is a third -level response mechanism in Hong Kong.The serious level is led by the director of the Food and Health Bureau, but when the epidemic is severe, the government can be promoted to an emergency level and presided over the overall situation by the chief executive.Many citizens still don't understand why she did not shorten the schedule to return from Switzerland to Hong Kong in advance at the beginning of the outbreak of the epidemic.Even after she returned to Hong Kong on the first day of the lunar calendar and promoted the upgrade, society still could not see her due leadership ability.
Take the quarantine center as an example. In the early days of the epidemic, the government transformed Mrs. McLeako's resort and the Liyumen Park Resort.isolation.However, even if there are these two camps, coupled with the Beitan Chung Holiday Camp provided by the Baoliang Bureau, the beds used for isolation are still insufficient, and the government must collect more.In this regard, the government has successively collected Fanling Huiming Village and Mobil Cuiya Mountain House, but they have encountered great resistance.Although the resistance has populist components, this kind of neighboring effect is already the veterans of public policies. The decision makers cannot be expected.It has reached a safe distance in science and teaches the society to understand the required needs through listing and selection standards.Our civil servant team has always been known as professional, scientific, and established standards and mechanisms. In this kind of thing, we can definitely do a good job of explaining, rationalize people, and lead public opinion, rather than letting the panic to distort the epidemic management.need.
When there is an epidemic in the Mainland, the population of Hong Kong and the Mainland is frequent, and there are almost no cases of input.According to several epidemics experience since SARS, the government should expect a large number of masks to be expected to be in the morning.Take Macau, which is also a special administrative region under the same country, two systems, as an example. Like Hong Kong, it is the first place to be affected by the epidemic except the Mainland. The local government knows how to intervene early, including providing masks to residents in real -name quotas, and actively search for purchases in various places.Ensure the supply and successfully settle the people's hearts.In contrast, when the Hong Kong Government was aware of the wave of buying a wave of buying and a serious out of stock in society, Lin Zheng still claimed that the mask of the Correctional Services Department should not launch the market to avoid competition;As a guideline, the mask supplier invited the bidding, and the extent of the deserted board was staggering.
Social difficulty enemy panic medical care must be eliminated
Of course, there are more than just government officials.Hong Kong has been re -created by SARS, and most people in the society dare not forget their lessons. In the early days of the new type of pneumonia, they had put on masks to strengthen personal hygiene.However, I do n’t know if the birds who are shocked. Some citizens buy a large number of basic materials such as masks and exacerbate the shortage of stocks in the market.Last week, an uncle in Limu Village, Tsuen Wan was in front of the media's tears because he couldn't buy a mask, making the society unwilling.Perhaps we are in a sense of panic in front of the epidemic. We only care about the masks that have accumulated for a few weeks or even months, and forgot that unnecessary accumulation will make the supplies nervous, and the citizens who do not have the news or the movement of the movement are not enough.Afterwards, many people care about the situation of the uncle, and some district councilors come to present masks, which just shows that the same is the spirit of Hong Kong society. Even if the epidemic is currently, it is what Hong Kong people can do and take it.
The epidemic is invisible, the virus is ruthless, and the fear of fear can be described as human nature.Suddenly, people without masks on the street seem to be threatened; every cough is the alarm number driving us away.Especially people who enter from the Mainland, even if we should know that the chance of new patients with pneumonia is very low, we unconsciously believe that all immigrants are dangerous.The sense of crisis has a good side. The Hong Kong people are alert due to the sense of crisis and the rapid improvement of health awareness, which can be called a model; but the sense of crisis also has a bad side, which can cause us to be taken away by emotions and even chaos.The strike of the medical staff, which is regarded as the only effective epidemic prevention measures, is affected by emotions and failed to calmly and professional discussions about the feasibility of comprehensive closure.Under the dual challenges of influenza and new pneumonia in winter, he insists on launching medical strikes, which is even more harmful to the rights and interests of patients.
Don't have to do anything about things.The employees of the Hospital Management Bureau, which initiated strikes, proposed to ensure the supply of masks and provide sufficient isolation ward. No one is opposed at all.As the new type of pneumonia is entered into Hong Kong, the trade union is entirely reasonable to worry that the Hong Kong medical system is overload.However, they should help the Health Management Bureau solve the problem together in a reasonable way, rather than entangled the comprehensive closure, and take this as necessary conditions.This is undoubtedly the political resistance of an event that belongs to the public health category, which will not only cause the epidemic prevention discussion to lose focus, but also cause the society to stir.
Last Friday (February 7), more than 7,000 members of the Hospital Management Bureau voted again, of which more than 4,000 were supported by the end of the strike, and the union leadership was forced to announce the return of medical care.Most members of the union have changed their minds, and the overall situation is worthy of recognition. At the same time, it shows that medical staff has a professional spirit and understands the truth.In fact, Hong Kong's medical care has always been respected by the society. Not only is the medical level leading in the world, but also shows noble sentiments during the period of SARS and has won applause.The new type of pneumonia is aggressive, which is the time that the society needs them.Regardless of whether the government's epidemic prevention decision is fast or slow or strict or wide, medical staff should adhere to the professional spirit and do their best to ensure patient health.
In the past two weeks, Hong Kong is full of bumps.From the spread of the epidemic to the government, from society's panic to medical strikes, but as Professor Yuan Guoyong, who is assisting the resistance, pointed out that it is not time to pilot each other.The epidemic has not ended, and the worse situation may even have not yet come.A society with strong strain and strong adaptability is just like a strong football team that has been in a hundred battles. After rectification of the midfield, you can get rid of the slump after rectification, defeat in the second half, and play a game.Beautiful victory.We believe that Hong Kong is such a society.As the medical staff ended the strike and the mainland immigrants must be separated by 14 days of measures to take effect, there is only one thing in Hong Kong society to do: to prevent the epidemic from spreading or even outbreaks in the community.
