[Logical Question of International Relations] Eight Conspiracies at Carrie Lam’s Epidemic PressCon 1/3
1. “Halt indefinitely of all flights and trains to and from Wuhan until the outbreak is clearly under control.” In fact, Wuhan has been under lockdown since a while ago. No flights or trains can depart from Wuhan, and have been already “halted indefinitely.“ Carrie Lam’s “drastic measure” is no different than “halting indefinitely spaceships from Mars to Hong Kong.” The Hong Kong government should have made the aforementioned decision before the lockdown of Wuhan. When the outbreak is spread to Hong Kong and the origins are all from Wuhan, then it is clearly government’s responsibility. Making such gesture now is clearly making a fool of the general public to evade responsibility.
2. She emphasised that “there is no upper limit to resources.” In particular, medical professionals would earn overtime pay. On the surface, this is done “for the sake of citizens’ health at all costs.” However, this is just a ploy to put pressure on the medical professionals who intended to strike. What the medical professionals are dissatisfied about is that the government let a large number of non-local visitors to overuse medical resources and increase health risks for Hong Kongers. Carrie Lam’s thinking is, however, that, as long as there is no upper limit to resources, money can solve all problems. She even smeared the original intention of medical professionals to protect Hong Kongers as “taking radical actions,” and continued the us-versus-them thinking as in the past 7 months.
3. She said she would “expand health declaration during immigration to all customs” and “measure body temperature of people departing.” But she didn’t explain further on the process, and just paid lip services. Other parts of China already enforced mandatory quarantine for people from Wuhan. Macao also forbids people with fever from departing. Only in Hong Kong, the so-called highest level of defence has no consequences.
