Leung Cheuk-wai calls for the choice of the anti-epidemic path, which is expected to eventually lead to endemic diseases

The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong released the latest research on the epidemic estimation model yesterday. Dean Leung Cheuk-wai suggested that the society should choose one between "going towards endemic diseases" and "dynamic clearing" as soon as possible. The latter is only a "transit station". In response to the current situation of the Hong Kong government, including how to make choices, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said in response to the anti-epidemic press conference today (23rd) that she has paid attention to relevant research results, "but research is research after all, academic evaluation is academic evaluation after all, and reality is complicated. "There is much more", emphasizing that the current anti-epidemic work is not a battle between two lines. The Hong Kong government's anti-epidemic goals are the same as those of the country. They hope to protect the citizens, curb the epidemic as soon as possible, and return the society to normal as soon as possible, with the goal of customs clearance. The results still have reference value.

She also said that the Hong Kong government's anti-epidemic measures are firm confidence, not "laying down" or taking chances, "not thinking about being 'booming'", and the primary consideration is to optimize anti-epidemic measures according to the epidemic situation.

In response, Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that she knew that the public health team of the University of Hong Kong had been engaged in research and speculation in the past two years, and she herself would follow up the research development every week, "But research is research after all, academic evaluation is academic evaluation after all, and reality is much more complicated. ”, so the model cannot be used alone, but the research results still have reference value.

She emphasized that the current anti-epidemic work is not a battle between two lines. Hong Kong's anti-epidemic goals are clear and consistent with the country. They hope to protect the public, curb the epidemic as soon as possible, and restore normalcy to society as soon as possible. It also includes achieving maximum benefits at the least cost. Minimize the impact on Hong Kong's economic and social development.

She pointed out that customs clearance is the impact of economic and social development, so customs clearance must be the goal to connect the mainland and overseas. "Hong Kong is a platform that connects domestic and overseas."

She said that the Hong Kong government's anti-epidemic measures are firm confidence, not "laying down" or taking chances, "I don't think about 'fighting', but the anti-epidemic measures have to change, so what I said two weeks ago was based on the epidemic situation. If there is a big change in two weeks, I will be very stubborn, and this is not an anti-epidemic method." She also used the nucleic acid test, the new rapid test, and the four-layer treatment as an example, "This kind of mi It is an anti-epidemic measure that has been continuously optimized." Lin Zhengyue continued that the principles of anti-epidemic have remained unchanged, including the three principles of rapidity, preparedness, and openness and transparency, and anti-epidemic resources "will never be considered". The question is not the subject of a dispute between the two lines.”

The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong announced yesterday the results of the latest research analyzing the two options of "dynamic clearing" and "going towards endemic diseases".

Leung Cheuk-wai, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, pointed out that factors such as the economy and people’s livelihood must be taken into consideration when choosing the path to fight the epidemic. He also described that even choosing “dynamic clearing” is only a “halfway station”. In the end, it is necessary to prepare for the arrival of the sixth wave, and it is more likely to be a new variant virus with stronger transmission.

Therefore, society must choose between the two options early. He believes that from a scientific point of view, it is better to enter the endemic stage earlier than to enter later.
