Last updated: 2020-01-29 07:00The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, announced a series of epidemic prevention measures on the 28th, including the temporary closure of the West Rail Station and the Hung Hom Expressway from the 30th of this month, and the decision to withdraw Fanling Huiming Village as a quarantine center. It is still unknown whether the public will feel relieved. , But the establishment faction may be relieved for the time being. It turned out that the constitutional faction who had just lost the entire district council election in the anti-revision tsunami. The Hong Kong government has been slow to push for the epidemic to fight the epidemic, and is more anxious than the citizens who are afraid of the epidemic, especially when camp supporters participate in Fanling. Blocking the road and blocking Huiming Village as an "isolation camp", the formation faction has smelled something of anxiety, and worries that it will affect the September Legislative Council election.
Zhong Jianli, Director of Quality and Safety of the Hospital Authority, was asked whether non-residents are free to receive new pneumonia treatment in public hospitals. He said that if the illness meets the reporting mechanism, an isolation order is required, and according to the policy, it is necessary to waive patient charges. (Photo by Zhang Haowei)
Blue camp people also block the road and the storm is gradually being channeled
Encountering a major disaster or epidemic crisis is, to a local government, a huge challenge to test the ability and will of the administration team, but if handled properly, it is also an opportunity to build prestige and increase popularity, which can be described as a double-edged sword. After suffering from the storm of legislative amendments in the past eight months, the Lin Zheng government has to face a turbulent epidemic that is full of unknowns. The political "immunity" itself is insufficient. Whether it is political prestige, mutual trust between officials and the people, and self-confidence in governance, They all feel a little "physical". For example, the "fall-off" of Hubei residents was a step slower than that of Macao. Civil criticism was quickly reflected on the Internet.
Intercepting foreign patients is half a beat slower than the neighbouring areas, accompanied by domestic measures causing a rebound. Last Saturday (25th), the Hong Kong government announced that it would renovate the unused Fanling public housing Huiming Village for isolation, causing dissatisfaction among residents of many HOS and public housing estates such as Yongsheng Court, and more people were drinking water on Sunday evening. Ma and other debris blocked the road, including supporters of the establishment and volunteers from the DAB. Some constitutionalists have told the author that night that if the incident continues to worsen, it will gradually evolve into another huge storm after the anti-revision storm. Because the public is indifferent to the disease before the epidemic, as long as the Hong Kong government fails to respond, This will provoke public grievances, and even supporters of the Blue Battalion will be defeated, and the formation of the establishment faction in the September Legislative Council election will be even worse.
As soon as the news of the free doctors and patients came out, the DAB met Lin Zheng at night
The anxieties of the formationists seemed to be "opening their mouths", and the noise of the people has escalated. On the 27th, the news that Mainland patients with lung and lung diseases could receive free treatment in Hong Kong came out, and the public's suspicion spread rapidly in the community like a virus. That night, the DAB informed the media that they would meet with Lin Zhengyue the next day. After the meeting on the morning of the 28th, the chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) Li Huiqiong publicly stated that customs clearance was a "must-consider" measure, and the party's attitude has been changed along with the government's previous battle in the war of resistance. In the afternoon, Lin Zheng led a group of senior officials to meet with reporters and announced a series of measures, including the decision to withdraw Huiming Village as a quarantine center, and the need to pay for medical expenses for patients with non-Hong Kong people ’s disease. Anxious to fight fire?
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) Ge Yanfan believes that the Hong Kong government ’s response to the lung cancer epidemic is not “too slow” but also “slow”. For example, she was the first member to ask an urgent question about the epidemic in the Legislative Council. It is not aware of the seriousness of the problem, nor has it been fully deployed.
Zheng Yongshun, a member of the Kowloon West Legislative Council, also pointed out that when the government announced the provision of free medical care for non-locals, the constitutionalists also felt ashamed. He heard the opinions of many residents in the district, saying that the practice would attract mainlanders to Hong Kong for medical treatment, and worried about Hong Kong medical treatment. Whether the system can load.
The Hong Kong People ’s Federation ’s Liang Meifen also issued a post on FB criticizing the Hong Kong government ’s “slow response (bluntness), and the hard line must be kicked before the gloom and depression”, asking the Hong Kong government to ban entry to all non-Hong Kong people in confirmed cases.
