The number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Hong Kong has repeatedly hit new highs. Liang Zichao said in Hong Kong and Taiwan’s "Millenniums" that although the average number of confirmed cases in the past three days is still rising, everyone does not need to be too pessimistic for the time being. For the city, it is better to focus on this extreme method to avoid it. In the end, the extreme method is a no return, regardless of the economy or the epidemic.” Because the government’s "closing the city" means that Hong Kong's medical system has collapsed and the epidemic is difficult to control.

Before going out, think about whether it is necessary to reduce the fire in the community

He said that if the people continue to "running, dancing, and jumping," the epidemic will continue, and civil servants work from home in the hope that private companies can follow suit. It has caused a lot of fire in the community." He urged citizens to think about whether it is necessary to go out before going out. If they are asymptomatic, they should not go to high-risk places such as hospitals to increase the chance of infection.

In addition, Liang Zichao also believes that the public should not be swarmed for testing, and that testing should be done as long as there is a need for concentrated epidemiology.
