0+0︱It is rumored that the government has sealed the mouth of an expert Liang Baixian: If it is true, then the government is determined to return to normal?

After the entry quarantine was relaxed to "0+3", the voice of "0+0" and even the exemption of testing on arrival in Hong Kong has become more and more popular, and there are many government experts and consultants in the good voice.

According to the investigation report, in addition to Liu Yulong and Liang Zhuowei, the other four of the six government expert consultants have recently spoken out on the relaxation of entry quarantine, but the government intends to cool social expectations.

A column quoted news reports that the Hong Kong government convened an expert meeting yesterday (6th) and suggested to the experts not to promote "0+0" from the perspective of the business sector, but from the perspective of controlling the epidemic.

Leung Pak-yin, the former chief executive of the Hospital Authority, wrote an article today (7th), saying that if the report is true, it will cast doubt on the government's determination and intention to return to normal, and expert advisors may have lost their proper functions and roles.

He pointed out that it is normal for experts to have different academic and professional backgrounds, and it is normal for independent opinions to differ.

As for the relaxation to "0+0", most experts agree, but the government has not given a specific timetable. It is really difficult to understand, and I believe many people will be disappointed.

Xu Shuchang advocates 0+0 within a month, Kong Fanyi: no different from 0+3

Our vaccination rate is so high, and few people are diagnosed and then injected. The community has mixed immunity protection. After the "0+3", there is no rebound for two weeks. The government should consider "0+0" as soon as possible, preferably before November. .

Xu Shuchang

There are six government expert advisors. Among them, Xu Shuchang was interviewed on Wednesday (5th) and believed that if the community epidemic remained stable after the implementation of "0+3" for two weeks, it could be relaxed to "0+0" within this month. .

Kong Fanyi said at the end of September, before the implementation of "0+3", that immigrants generally have mixed immunity, and it is believed that imported cases will not exceed local cases, and that "0+0" is no different from "0+3".

In mid-September, the government had not yet announced the "0+3" plan. When asked about the possibility of relaxing entry quarantine, Liu Zexing, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, stressed the need to return people's lives to normal as soon as possible. In addition, there were few imported cases at that time. The actual situation and data are relaxed.

Yuan Guoyong, a chair professor of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, wrote an article with his team saying that "the new coronavirus has become an endemic disease", and believes that Hong Kong should gradually return to normal, and that there are conditions to further achieve "0+7", or even a more aggressive plan.

Outside Hong Kong, many of them have been vaccinated or have been infected before, so they all have mixed immunity, so the rate of confirmed cases in the country will not be higher than that in the local area.

There are absolutely conditions to relax the "0+0", observe for two weeks, if there is no rebound, you can do it. Basically, there will be no difference from "0+3".

Liang Baixian: Experts disagree but agree on 0+0

Liang Baixian, who has been giving advice on epidemic prevention policies on his social page, believes that if the report is true, expert consultants may have lost their proper functions and roles.

He said that although experts sometimes have different opinions and mixed messages, the government is able to make decisions and clearly explain to the public the reasons for accepting or rejecting expert opinions, and never asking for the unification of expert opinions and the government.

He believes that it is normal for experts to have differences in their independent professional opinions. Moreover, most experts have reached a consensus on "0+0". It is difficult to understand why the government has not relaxed the timetable.

When asked in the Legislative Council today (September 7) whether he would relax the measures to "0+0" within a month, the Secretary for Medical and Health, Lu Chongmao, simply reiterated that it would "depend on the epidemic data".

The restaurant relaxes 12 people for one table on Thursday, Leung Pak-hsien points out that the gathering limit order remains unreasonable for 4 people Leung Pak-hsien again "picks up opportunities" and advocates 0+0, refuting Lu Chongmao's triple risk theory: the burden of imported diseases is limited 0+3｜Leung Pak-hsien It is expected that the retaliatory outbound catering industry assessment may cause 800,000 people to leave Hong Kong and lose 10% of their business. Lu Chongmao secretly criticized Liang Baixian for misleading the public to despise the epidemic.

Liang Baixian: International customs clearance is what the people want. Some people are still delaying the return to normal.

Chen Maobo: We are working hard to return to normal. The policy address will have talent attraction measures Policy address︱ Li Huiqiong explained that 0+0 time attracting talents should be admitted to the official school, and buying a property is exempt from spicy tax. Xu Shuchang pointed out that the epidemic situation is declining: 0.1% in many places The death rate is expected to remain at 4 digits. Xu Shuchang expects the epidemic to have a chance to peak this month, calling on the public to avoid gatherings during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
