Protect the medical system from affecting non-COVID-19 patients due to the epidemic

Liu Zexing mentioned that although it has been nearly three years since the epidemic, the understanding of the new crown pneumonia is still insufficient: "Many people are not real experts, and I am not an expert." He pointed out that we must slowly observe again, for example a year ago No one knows about the "long-term new crown", so it is impossible to predict the future development, but the only certainty is that the epidemic will seriously affect the lives of Hong Kong people.

The government must accept opinions and observe new data in the fight against the epidemic

Regarding the government's anti-epidemic policy, he believes that "listen to what others have to say", accept other people's opinions, observe new data, and look for credible information to help patients: "The epidemic is still very serious, and you must be careful until now. Don't let it spread too much, especially the elderly and other people with greater influence." Regarding the proposal of "mixed immunization" by some scholars, Liu Zexing pointed out that it is "true" that vaccination against the new crown can reduce the risk of death and other risks, and to a certain extent after recovery It can reduce the risk of infection, these are facts.

For overseas doctors, Liu Zexing believes that the relationship with local doctors is both cooperation and competition, but he emphasizes that only competition can lead to progress.

As for some voices who are worried that mainland doctors will affect their work due to language problems, Liu Zexing pointed out that Hong Kong's medication is in English, so they must have a certain understanding, but the most important thing is that they are comparable to medical students at HKU and CUHK, so they can be competent for the job.
