The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still not over. The total number of deaths in Hong Kong has reached 105, most of which are elderly.

Ma Zhongyi, the president of the Hong Kong Public Medical Doctors Association, stated in the TV and TV program "Letter to Hong Kong" today that the elderly are the most innocent group in the epidemic. They did not participate in colorful social gatherings, did not travel abroad, and did not benefit from economic activities. Benefit, but most people get sick and even die.

Ma Zhongyi pointed out that the code of practice for residential care homes does not clearly require air quality and infection control measures in residential care homes. Every year, influenza or other infectious diseases break out in residential care homes for the elderly, and the third wave of novel coronavirus pneumonia also occurs in many residential care homes. It is believed that the elderly are the most innocent group in this epidemic. They did not participate in colorful social gatherings, did not travel abroad, did not benefit from economic activities, but the most people contracted the disease and even died.

Ma Zhongyi also said that even if they are not infected, the elderly living in the outbreak institution may be taken from the nursing home to the isolation center in the middle of the night.

For the sake of epidemic prevention, most homes have banned visitors from outsiders. Elderly residents have not had family visits for several months. Many community support and rehabilitation services have also been suspended during the epidemic, which has greatly affected the quality of life of parents who use the services. .

Ma emphasized that the government officials did not apologize, sympathize, nor review the promises of elderly homes and community elderly services.

Ma Zhongyi later mentioned the issue of young people in Hong Kong, saying that the social movement caused by the opposition to the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance has occurred more than a year ago, and young people have suffered great harm, including 12 Hong Kong citizens who were detained in Shenzhen for illegal entry.

In addition, she also pointed out that those in power are dissatisfied with professionals, including medical staff, journalists, social workers, and teachers.

She called on everyone to unite and walk the rough road.
