Whether the lethality of the new crown virus has been "downgraded" like the flu, and whether the crude death rate of the new crown is 0.6% or 0.1%, triggers officials, experts and former high-level hospital authorities to exchange fire.
Leung Pak-yin, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority, posted on social media this morning (16th) that international customs clearance has become the general trend and the will of the people.
Leung Pak-hsien did not specify who was holding back, and the day before yesterday (14th), he retorted that the average death rate of the new crown is about 0.6%, which is an iron-clad fact. "Only if medical treatment returns to normal, Hong Kong can get out of the epidemic first, and can really return to normal first." It seems that he intends to respond to Leung's statement that "returning to normal is a hindrance".

Leung Pak-hsien, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority, recently posted on social platforms, citing data from the Center for Health Protection and pointed out that from 2022 to September 4 this year, the crude death rate of new coronary pneumonia is 0.6%, but since May, the epidemic has mixed BA.2.2 and BA2 Variant viruses such as .12.1, BA.4 and BA.5, all types of viruses are calculated together, and the mortality rate has dropped to a level similar to that of influenza, that is, about 0.1%.
The director of the Medical and Health Bureau, Lu Chongmao, refuted Leung Pak-hsien's remarks on his blog, pointing out that his speech was seriously selective, ignoring the misfortune of thousands of new crown deaths, and misleading the public to despise the new crown epidemic.
Liang Baixian wrote another article on Facebook this morning (16th), in which he mentioned that "some people are still dragging their feet to return to normal. If it is not a misjudgment of the epidemic, it is unknown whether there are other purposes."
The Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital is celebrating its 100th anniversary and will hold the "100-year History of Sanatorium and Hospital Exhibition" at the Hong Kong Medical Museum. The opening ceremony of the exhibition will be held today (16th).
In his officiating speech, Lu Chongmao not only talked about the history of the Sanatorium and Hospital, but also mentioned the public-private cooperation under the epidemic at the end, saying: "Only if medical treatment returns to normal, Hong Kong can get out of the epidemic first, and then it can really return to normal." It is unknown whether it is true or not. In response to the statement that "some people are still dragging their feet back to normal".
Leung Pak-yin, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority, refuted on social media the day before yesterday (13th) that Chief Executive Li Jiachao said that the death rate of the new coronavirus is six times that of the flu.
