The epidemic situation in Western countries has slowed slightly and eager to return to daily voices. The new cases in Hong Kong have fallen to individual digits recently. In the basic operation of society such as re -classes, when it is suitable for gradually recovering, I believe it will soon become the focus of discussion.The epidemic is popular, and it will not suddenly go like SARS. Everyone has to face reality. In the next year and a half, it will live under the haze of the virus at any time.Cases are zero.The European and American epidemic has not really eased, and the Hong Kong epidemic situation may still be repeated in the short term. When the engraving is still non -loosening, but all parties always think about how to coexist with the epidemic before the vaccine.EssenceThe prerequisite for the government's considering loosening should be to deepen the deployment of resistance. It is better to do three aspects: early discovery, early isolation, and early treatment.

Cases 28 days to test the normalized long -term response to the normalization of the anti -immunity

Global confirmed cases are close to 2 million, and Europe and the United States have become the focus.Recently, the epidemic conditions such as Yi, Germany and France seem to have a sign of slowing down. Some countries that have adopted community epidemic prevention measures such as clustering orders and business stops earlier, such as Denmark and the Czech Republic, have decreased significantly compared with earlier.Loose tie, including relaxation of home orders and re -classes.On the United States, Governor of New York claimed that the worst time of the local epidemic had passed. President Trump announced the establishment of a committee to plan when to restore domestic economic activities.In the Hong Kong side, it has been promulgated for two weeks to be promulgated by the clustering order and the suspension order. The newly -added diagnosis cases have been reduced to individual digits for several days. The authorities said that the local epidemic still failed to rest assured.At the time, as for the middle school diploma test (DSE) at the end of this month, I believe that there is a great opportunity to be held as scheduled.The DSE exam affects the future of tens of thousands of students, and it is also an important part of the operation of normal society. If it is not held as usual, the effect of bone card effects has a great impact.In the late March, the epidemic in Hong Kong was severe. Many people paid attention to whether the DSE could start the exam smoothly. Fortunately, the epidemic was relieved in time, creating favorable conditions for the start of the examination.

Very means in a very period.Once the plague encountered in a century, in the face of the peak of the epidemic, of course, it is necessary to use life as the first to curb the spread of the virus in the community, but the impact of the epidemic on the economy and people's livelihood cannot be ignored.The latest prediction of the International Monetary Fund can experience the worst recession since the Great Depression in the 1930s. It is estimated that the global economy will shrink by 3%this year.As an export -oriented economy in Hong Kong, international exchanges have a great blow to Hong Kong. As for the suspension of classes, suspension, and clustering orders, such as epidemic prevention, it has an impact on the normal operation of society. Even if these epidemic prevention measures are strong, it is impossibleOtherwise, it will kill the people's livelihood, and it is difficult for the general public to be in a highly tight state like the past few weeks.

This epidemic is different from SARS, and it is unlikely to disappear naturally after a few months. It is more likely to attack like waves.It is also possible that due to the explosion of the outside world, the return of Hong Kong people's infection and input cases have caused community transmission.In the past, experts generally returned to zero for 28 consecutive days with confirmed cases. It was judged whether the epidemic was over and the epidemic prevention measures could be withdrawn. However, if the epidemic was like waves, it was difficult to return to zero for 28 consecutive days before the vaccine was launched next year.It does not mean that the local epidemic is really end.Since they will coexist with COVID-19 in the next year and a half, all parties need to think about the long-term countermeasures that resist the normalization of the disease.Authorities need to consider how to deal with epidemic prevention measures and find balance between adherence to epidemic prevention and social operations.

Early discovering isolation to increase confidence in resistance to epidemic, private doctors help each other

Epidemic prevention measures must be accurate with the grasp.Many experts point out that the European epidemic is just a slight ease, and the trend of the state of the United States in different states in the United States is different. It is too early to loosen the epidemic situation and even bring a new wave of shocks to other regions.If Hong Kong wants to relax the community's epidemic prevention measures, in addition to paying close attention to the number of new cases and community transmission, it is necessary to pay close attention to whether the epidemic in Europe, America and the Mainland is not urgent.The prerequisite for the Hong Kong Government to relax the epidemic prevention measures should be to deepen the resistance of epidemic, and more work under early discovery, early isolation, and early treatment, so that the public has greater confidence in loosening.The government strengthens the virus testing and intends to use more units of Junyang Village as a quarantine facilities. Of course, it is the correct practice. However, there are many places that can be further strengthened.

Hong Kong ranks among the top in Asia in the number of virus testing, but the current testing is mainly borne by public hospitals. Private doctors and clinics can play a greater role.When the citizens have a cold, they are used to going to the private clinic to see a doctor. The private clinic can help collect the respiratory samples and send it to the authorities for testing in order to detect the infected person as soon as possible.At the beginning of last month, the government expanded and strengthened the laboratory monitoring plan to all private clinics and hospitals. However, the private doctors who responded were very limited. Some private clinics even refused the enthusiasts outside the door, and only pushed patients to see the emergency.Some people in the industry claim that doctors are unwilling to participate in the plan because they lack protective equipment and insufficient government support, and Yunyun.If the industry has the intention to assist in resistance, it can discuss with the government, how can they support each other; the shortage of epidemic prevention supplies such as masks in the early stages of the epidemic, and the private clinic is also affected.Support resistance, should not be viewed on the wall.

The peripheral epidemic situation is high, and the enrollment measures in Hong Kong cannot be rashly relaxed. Even if Hong Kong is an export -oriented economy and cannot be locked for a long time, any adjustment in the future must be carefully considered.Some countries or regions that some Hong Kong people love tourism seem to have few cases of confirmed cases, because the virus testing they have done so far is very limited, and the real epidemic may be far more serious than imagination.For areas where the virus testing is not strict, the Hong Kong Government should insist on strictness in terms of entry quarantine restrictions.
