The number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong has hit a new high for several days. Leung Pak-yin, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority, has spoken many times recently, saying that "clearing" and "containment" are unrealistic.

He warned today (9th) that there will soon be thousands or even more than 10,000 confirmed cases in a single day, saying bluntly, "Every day, there are thousands of confirmed people waiting to be admitted to the hospital, and there are more than 10,000 people waiting for isolation and quarantine, and the operation will be chaotic! He pointed out that the government must adjust policies such as admission and discharge standards, testing and quarantine, and if it does not conform to the actual situation, public grievances will boil.


In an interview with the media, Leung Pak-yin further pointed out that "containment" is useless, and believes that resources should be concentrated on "guzhen needles", and those diagnosed with asymptomatic symptoms should be immediately changed to home isolation to free up medical resources.

He pointed out that at this stage, the fight against the epidemic should no longer focus on the daily number of confirmed cases, and should focus on severe cases.

Regarding the discussion of clearing up or coexisting with the virus, he said that these words are meaningless. We must accept that the virus has become an endemic disease in Hong Kong like a cold, in order to balance people's livelihood and economic development.


Leung Pak-yin believes that the government should concentrate resources on "gut needles", for example, consider washing the building to register the elderly, visiting their homes for injections, and relying on vaccines to reduce the risk of severe illness and death.

Call for concentrated resources and needles: isolation of more than 10,000 people is an anti-epidemic chaos

Liang Baixian said that most of the people infected with Omicron are asymptomatic and have mild illness. Even if these people are diagnosed, they do not need to be admitted to the hospital, and there is no need to wait and see the development of the epidemic. Instead, they should be immediately arranged for "home isolation" to release hospital beds for those who are critically ill or highly ill in need. risk person.

He pointed out that in the new stage, the focus of the fight against the epidemic should be dealing with severe cases, and the daily announcement of confirmed cases will only make people feel alarmed.

He pointed out that the epidemic is raging, and the epidemic control plan must be realistic, professional, decisive and humane, otherwise the public will lose confidence in the government's ability to control the epidemic.
