April 11, 2022: Zero Omicron = Mission Impossible
Over the past few weeks, as part of my work for MercyHK, I have had discussions with a number of local doctors and they have all said the same thing about Omicron:
Unlike Delta, Omicron is impossible to contain ... it can't be stopped. Trying to achieve zero Omicron is a disaster for society, especially for the economy.
Sadly, for unvaccinated elderly people Omicron is dangerous, but for the vast majority of fully-vaccinated people Omicron is not a matter for paranoia.
Fully-vaccinated people need to stop living in fear, and get on with their lives. Hong Kong needs to go all out for effective full-vaccination, and open up to other places.
Some experts claim that Sinovac and Sinopharm are not so effective against Omicron.
