Two weeks ago, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un solemnly announced that North Korea has “zeroed out” the new crown, defeated the virus, and “has achieved a major victory” in the fight against the epidemic. Unexpectedly, the words were still in my ears, and another person had a fever, and the virus came back.
This shows that fighting the epidemic is a scientific matter, not something that can be done by human will alone. Just like when Shanghai was closed for the past two months, some officials declared that they “issued a military order” and insisted on “clearing the society” on a certain day, otherwise they would be shattered. As a result, the deadline is getting closer and closer, and the citizens of Shanghai are waiting patiently. Some enthusiasts still reminded the official online: “It will be shattered in two hours!” In the end, the virus didn’t listen to people’s orders and didn’t care about your fans. Not smashed to pieces, not broken bones, still elusive, did not disappear. The matter was over, and the so-called “military order” became a joke.
When the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong hit, the former health secretary had no idea, but he still said nonsense without logic at the press conference, calling it “more strict than strict defense”. As soon as I heard this, I knew that she was even “strict”. I don’t know what it means, so what else can I “wait for”? Later, epidemic prevention in Hong Kong became a matter of the “Civil Service Bureau”. However, the then Chief Executive Carrie Lam insisted on coming out in person to preside over the press conference on the epidemic every day, saying that it would be held until the epidemic was over, and her attitude was very firm. This is also another gesture of demanding victory. As a result, the epidemic has not ended, her “daily anti-epidemic press conference” has ended, and later, she herself has ended.
Now, the epidemic in Hong Kong is still developing, but the hearts of Hong Kong people are still stable. First of all, I know that most people have been vaccinated, and they will do all the protection that should be done. Second, everything is transparent about epidemic prevention. There are fewer political officials to come out and talk nonsense. There is an epidemic report meeting of the Center for Health Protection every day, so that the public can clearly know the latest development of the epidemic. Everyone can understand what Dr. Zhang Zhujun said. Be open-minded, take precautions while taking precautions, and believe in science—science just discovers the cause and solves the problem, and won’t fire empty cannons for “major victories”—this is the best state to overcome difficulties safely.
