Recently, there has been a rush to buy painkillers and antipyretics in Hong Kong, and many brands containing paracetamol are tense, including Beritilone.

Lian Weiqiao, director of the Association of Community Organizations, said this morning (3rd) that recently some neighbors expressed their desire to buy medicines "at the door" but failed, resulting in a "crisis of confidence". It is suggested that the government can refer to the previous method of distributing anti-epidemic materials, and use health centers, elderly centers and regional groups that have contact with vulnerable groups to distribute.

The Elderly Wants to Buy Pain Relief and Fever Relief Drugs "Look at the Door" Social Association: If you can't buy it, you want to buy it more

Lian Weiqiao, director of the Association of Community Organizations, said on a radio program this morning that some neighbors reported that they could not buy medicines recently. Want to buy, he described the recent "maybe a crisis of confidence".

He continued that customs clearance made people feel that Hong Kong's medicines might be insufficient, and they wanted to buy some to keep at home. It is expected that this psychological factor might exacerbate the rush to buy medicines.

It is recommended that the government refer to the method of dispatching anti-epidemic materials and use health centers to distribute medicines to the grassroots

Lian Weiqiao believes that the government's "distribution of medicine" will help the citizens restore their confidence.

However, although he agrees that low-income families should be given medicines, he thinks that it would be a rough approach to divide medicines by income. The regional groups of the community will distribute it. I believe that these centers or groups will have a better understanding of which citizens are in need.

He also mentioned on the program that under the epidemic situation, many outpatient clinics have become designated clinics. Although the elderly can make appointments to designated clinics, it is very difficult to make appointments in general outpatient clinics. It takes an average of 4 days to a week to make an appointment. Don't go to the emergency room, urge the authorities to consider increasing the number of places.

He also pointed out that some elderly people are not good at using mobile phone programs and remote consultations. He hopes that the authorities will consider providing simpler consultation methods, such as telephone consultations and communication application consultations.
