Date of last update: 2020-04-10 06:00Friday to Monday (April 10 to 13) is a long weekend that many citizens look forward to. However, this year's Easter holiday coincided with the new crown epidemic. Not only did the public not have the opportunity to travel to popular places such as Japan, they also had limited leisure options for staying in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong people work and work, and counting long holidays has always been an annual event. The Easter holiday spans Friday to Monday, and many citizens may have booked air tickets to go to Taiwan, Japan and other places for vacation. In the face of the epidemic, the outbound travel plan will be cancelled, and the public will have to stay in Hong Kong.
While staying in Hong Kong, although karaoke, bars, etc. are closed, many people may still plan to have fun, such as inviting friends to get together, outings, etc. The restrictions on coercive measures are always limited, and citizens always have a way to get together. The question is whether this is appropriate.
Danger of many people
The epidemic case analysis can be described as the most objective reference index. Taking the most recent "Martha Singing K Group" as an example, the 48-year-old Martha employee (case 903) first had a runny nose on March 23. His wife (case 835) later suffered from headache, cough and Sore throat. In addition, he and his colleagues were diagnosed with at least 4 people (cases 923, 925, 932, 954) after singing K on March 25 (one case 923, 925, 932, 954). Sing K's case 932 also implicated the second-generation infections of parents (cases 957 and 958), in other words, one person's infection resulted in up to eight cases. Singing K and getting along with family members did not wear masks, and the only case of wearing masks 944 may be transmitted through shared dressing rooms.
It can be seen that one person's infection can spread to many people, and the public must be vigilant when considering holiday activities. Secondly, if you do n’t wear a mask when meeting your friends, there is a real risk. Furthermore, in the case of second-generation transmission, case 932 only developed symptoms (runny nose) four days after the singing of K (March 29). The parents who lived with them during this period believed that their son had been infected. No travel, etc., but whether they will be infected and lurking from other friends, no one can be sure. Combining the three points, how can the public take it lightly?
Hope to have fun during the four-day long holiday is undoubtedly human nature. As the University of Hong Kong Liang Zhuowei said, long-term tension will inevitably relax. However, if the epidemic continues to spread throughout the world for a year and a half, how to "dance with the epidemic", including controlling the risk of transmission and taking adequate sanitation measures, is what we need to learn and adapt as soon as possible.
