The government demanded that the government close and shut down the high-speed rail, and the government asserted its refusal. A former lawyer for SARS patients, Lin Zhihuan, president of the Hong Kong SARS Mutual Aid Society, said in the "City Forum" that he was angry at the government's proposal for a new measure yesterday, saying that it would not help to reduce the number of people who came to Hong Kong with the virus. Regarding the government's request for passengers to fill in a health declaration form, Lin questioned that "when you want to enter, you will not be honest." According to SARS ’experience in 2003, the virus has an incubation period of 4 days on average. It is not enough to simply take the temperature and fill out the health declaration form. "

Hope that Lin Zheng will not underestimate the epidemic

Lin Zhihuan said that as a person who came over from SARS, he did not want Lin Zhenghui to despise the epidemic situation. He also said that the past SARS battle was solely due to the contributions of medical staff. When talking about the proposal of "seal customs", Lin Zhihua emphasized that it is not a requirement to completely block the barriers, "it is only to reduce the number of people and make immigration control." He is worried that if the situation continues, Hong Kong will face risks that cannot be assessed. "Controlling the flow of people allows our risks to an acceptable level."

The chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Public Medical Doctors, Ma Zhongyi, also warned that the greatest risks in Hong Kong come from Guangdong Province and Shenzhen. The future airport or high-speed rail may not be the highest risk. It is suggested that the government can reduce the number of direct buses and reduce the frequency. She mentioned that Macao and Zhuhai both implement fever to prevent entry and exit, while Hainan Island is home to all Wuhan residents who have symptoms for 14 days. They question why it cannot be imitated. If the government continues to adopt a passive approach, "epidemic prevention is destined to fail ".

Risk comes from Guangdong Province and Shenzhen

Will healthcare strike in the future? The vice president of the Frontline Doctors Union, Xian Xian, responded that the strike was merely a means of hoping that the government would face up to the epidemic prevention work. "You are doing well, and someone will want to go on strike." It is their responsibility to take care of patients.
