The Hong Kong government may make use of the pretext of fighting virus to enforce Martial Law, Doctor Alfred WONG Yam Hong: tyranny and virus never relax

[Independent Media Report] Under the second wave of epidemic of Wuhan Coronavirus, professions warned that the Hong Kong medical system may collapse in a week’s time. Spokesman of the Citizens’ Press Conference worries the government will introduce Martial Law to suppress the anti-tyranny movement, by virtue of the justification for fighting virus, and in fact it is a good pretext to be used. Doctor Alfred WONG Yam Hong, physician of Tuen Mun Hospital and member of Médecins Inspirés, appeals Hong Kong people to minimize staying outdoor and uphold personal hygiene to avoid intensifying the epidemic. “Tyranny and virus have never relaxed, not even a single moment”, said Doctor WONG.

//Hong Kong people need to do their best to fight against the epidemic to avoid community outbreak, otherwise the government will make use of this to impose the Martial Law – this will definitely be an endless trouble.”

//“all my hopes are on Hong Kong people, but not any on the government.”

//Under the current trend, the number of confirmed cases would hit 1,000 in 5 days, substantially overloading the negative pressure wards.

Carrie Lam Accuses Hong Kong Medical Experts With a Different Opinion on Universal Coronavirus Testing of "Harbouring Political Motivation" and "Smearing the Chinese Government"

Chief Executive Carrie Lam slammed medical experts and doctors in Hong Kong for "harbouring political motivation" by criticising the government's universal coronavirus testing scheme. Lam also accused the experts who did not support the scheme of "smearing the Chinese Government".

The chairperson of the Public Doctors’ Association Arisina Ma pointed out on a radio program that medical experts were only discussing the effectiveness of the scheme.

Dr. Wong Yam Hong, a specialist in cardiology working for a public hospital in Hong Kong and also a member of the pro-democracy concern group Medical Inspire, wrote on Facebook that he did not know the "medical experts and doctors" Carrie Lam was referring to. Wong said he would not call himself an expert but at least he and his colleagues have all been professional trained and are all licensed doctors. He doubted the qualifications of the medical practitioners hired by the government from China.
