「曾華德醫生（曾華倩哥哥）一個在香港非常有名的呼吸系統專科醫生
Letter from Kenneth Tsang, Specialist in Respiratory Medicine and Honorary Clinical Professor, University of Hong Kong
2/2/2020 Dear all.
There has been a lot of panic for this Wuhan Pneumonia (WP) in HK.
…Hence there is no need to panic. There is clearly a lot of political panics and a lot of Western manipulation of this process. Let me tell you that influenza causes 40,000 deaths in America every year! Wuhan Pneumonia so far has a death rate of 2% only, God keep it like that please…”
我睇完即刻回覆他，指出曾医生的…
“Thank for the info xx,
How to distinguish panic and caution?
Washing hands after going back home for 2 times is cautious.
But washing hands for 5 times is panic.
Washing hands the whole night is Phobia.
If it prevails for years, that’s a kind of obsession and people enjoy it very much.
So measure yourself which category you belong to.
I don’t know what is the context as a “Political Panic” meant to be, the term “political panic” itself is very very political.
Is this a Western manipulation?
The central government put Wuhan in a virtual lockdown, sealing off the city and banning citizen to get out and stop transportation and private cars from roaming its streets, it is the first time since 1949.
A lockdown of a city populating over 10 million
and the government elevate the situation into wartime level to
contain the outbreak.
Western manipulation?
Fact check:
Northern Korea: the comradeship and brotherhood country shut the border totally down then comes the other cadres: Vietnam and Iran and Mongolia.
As a medical professional, Dr. Tsang shouldn’t compare the mortality rate between influenza and coronavirus.
As of 2017-18, the mortality rate of influenza is 0.13%
(Over 40 million infected and 61,000 deaths) but the death rate now adjusted by Western scientists of coronavirus is about 6-8% or above), if you believe in 祖國 scientists then it is above 2% but then this is a very very serious number, influenza has vaccines to inject and patients could recover fully afterward.
Influenza makes you scare but coronavirus left behind scar.
Finally, coronavirus is a brand new virus and we don’t have handy information about it, if this is a Western manipulation then the Virus must be part of it, then this is out of my capacity to comment.
At this critical moment, I pray for God that all of us especially our youngs and aged be dwell under His arms and got through this predicament.
Ting.
少出街，同朋友討論下，醒醒腦袋。
