The fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong is severe, and the government has always taken dynamic clearing as the anti-epidemic policy. Liang Wannian, head of the Central China Assistance and Prevention and Control Expert Team, mentioned in an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post that the goal of dynamic clearing is not to zero diagnoses, but to Save lives and prevent proliferation as the goal.
He said that the preparations for the national testing should not be sloppy, and the preparations should be carefully considered, not changing overnight, including the need to consider the impact on society, describing the short-term inconvenience in exchange for long-term convenience.
Liang Wannian also said that it can be initially judged that Hong Kong is at or gradually approaching the peak of the epidemic. If the epidemic prevention measures are quickly put in place, the peak period is expected to quickly turn down and enter the decline period.

Liang Wannian mentioned that China's ultimate goal of fighting the epidemic is to save lives, and "lying flat" or coexisting with the virus is not a feasible solution.

Liang Wannian talks about national testing: you can't step on the watermelon skin and slide it anywhere
Regarding the nationwide testing, Liang Wannian pointed out that the measures involved 7 million people and would take time to prepare. He hoped that the outside world could understand the difficulties of the government, describing it as "you can't step on a watermelon rind and slide it wherever you go." He pointed out that the entire national testing preparation process is quite complicated. Before the implementation of universal testing, a series of problems must be solved, including how to solve the large number of confirmed cases found after testing. Universal testing must be implemented after all problems have been solved.
Liang Wannian also pointed out that in addition to technical problems, the impact on society is the first consideration, such as how to test the elderly with limited mobility.
He emphasized that universal testing does not increase inconvenience and burden. He described the short-term inconvenience in exchange for long-term convenience. Even if the testing plan is constantly changing, it is based on a scientific basis. Considering the progress of the epidemic, it cannot be called a daily change. .
