The new coronary virus epidemic is unknown when it is unknown. Facing the threat of the virus, in addition to dealing with the epidemic, the Hong Kong government must straighten the people's conditions. The two are equally important.Whether Hong Kong resistance is successful or not, depending on whether there are large communities outbreaks in the future, final confirmed cases, and death numbers. At this stage, it is difficult to assert that the publicity of the people's conditions is obviously uninstalled.The public's concerns about epidemics may not be the same as everyone. However, the mask accumulates and raises prices and snapped up daily necessities, but it will definitely affect the general public. The citizens do not feel that the government's interruption measures can relieve the problem.The mask problem reflects the energy and thinking of the SAR government. The authorities do not involve the use and demand of masks like governments such as Xingtai. As for ensuring supply, whether the authorities' global procurement strategies are in place.Essence

Solve the distress of citizens

Government officials must be responsible

Last week, Hong Kong people were influenced by social media rumors and rushed to the supermarket to buy toilet paper and rice grain. The hysterical situation in society became an international topic.Although in the past few days, there were probably no chaos in the market, but many citizens were still very worried about no goods.Many of the large and small supermarkets in the housing estate, the shelves that were originally placed in toilet paper and rice. After noon, they were often empty, or they were almost the same.Every day, many neighborhoods have seen that large supermarkets have just been remedied and purchased daily necessities such as toilet paper. Even if large supermarkets indicate that the number of purchases is limited, the result is still sold soon.If the authorities have been relatively calm in the past few days, they think that the state of being timid and nervous has been lifted, and it must be very wrong.

If the society is in a state of hysteria and reflects a collective emotional disease, the government will have the responsibility to heal and prevent the disease from deteriorating.

Taking the mask problem as an example, the news that many citizens are most concerned about recently, I am afraid that it is not what government officials say, but which merchants or politicians have masks.In the past few days, the government said that it is active in global procurement; for the market for a hood and difficult to find, the authorities have a statement of the attitude of the authorities.I also love Mo can help.The citizens here are not distressed enough for the mask, and they are fluttering. The government over there to avoid giving up the name of the market supply and refuse to intervene in the custody to hit the hoarding price.There is no problem.

The essence of the mask problem is supply and demand management.In terms of supply, the government stated that the Logistics Department has contacted more than 400 mask suppliers in nearly 20 countries.Can be used by government departments.The number of 53 million seems to be a lot, but in the current situation, even if you order, you will not guarantee that there is stock in the short term. Only when you receive the spot, it is really available.Not a lot.

The government has repeatedly emphasized that it is currently handling mask procurement, including directly purchasing without the bidding procedure, and no low price is required.In order to find the source of the goods, to go to the Middle East and other places Zhang Luo, at first sight, there is a huge amount of cash in real time in order to get more than one million masks.The government's so -called four -out active procurement. If it only reduces some prosperous festivals and sit in the air -conditioned office to call to send emails to contact, it is inevitable to doubt how much the procurement work can be.

Mask is a special medical material, and global production capacity is limited. It is now used as a large number of people's birthday supplies, and the supply is naturally insufficient.Recently, the Director -General of the WHO Tan Desai pointed out that the severe shortage of protective materials such as the global mask and other protective supplies hindered the international community's resistance.WHO said that the recent demand for masks has risen a hundred times higher than usual. One of the reasons is that in addition to taking care of patients at the front line, there is a wide range of unnecessary use of masks.WHO called for a reasonable use of masks to give priority to meeting medical and patient needs. Do not accumulate masks in areas with small diagnosis cases. At the same time, they also called those mask vendors who decided to supply only to medical professionals.

Since the supply of masks is limited, of course, it is necessary to strengthen demand management, and wearing masks in reality is actually unsustainable.In Taiwan and Singapore, the government has launched measures for purchase restrictions or masks, and constantly reminds the public that people who do not need to wear masks in good health and outdoor sports.If you contact the crowd in a closed space, close distance, and long -term contact, you can consider wearing a mask.

The government lacks political energy

Anti -epidemic still has to be difficult to get up

Of course, some people may say that Star Terrace is not as dense as Hong Kong, but walking on the streets of Taipei and Singapore or taking the subway. It is the same. The real problem is that the current people of Star Hong Kong and Taiwan are very different.There are also people who are worried about epidemic and dissatisfaction with epidemic prevention measures, but at least there is still some trust between officials and people.On the other hand, the people of Hong Kong do not believe in officials. Many people in the society have visited the mask as an indispensable self -rescue tool. The government lacks political energy. It is difficult to make a violation of the people like the Star Terrace government.However, it is difficult to continue to use a mask in Hong Kong. Government and local experts must handle them together.At present, the shortage of global masks is serious, and it is difficult to solve the problem by relying on the so -called free market regulation.Now that Hong Kong is fighting against epidemic warfare. Under the state of war, the authorities must get rid of the rigid thinking of bureaucrats, put aside the ideological burden of free market ideology, and dare to reasonably regulate important anti -epidemic strategic materials such as masks.
