一星期的罷工如此結束，眼巴巴的看著，卻無能為力。無力感自去年起就沒有止息過。
醫護的擔心固然合理，醫護的處境亦不難理解。不過，封關與否其實是政治事件，醫護不應盲目去承擔。政治的事要用政治解決，醫護其實不宜在這種關鍵時期以犧牲專業操守來作威脅。
威脅政府封關不應由醫護來做，應由其他人代勞。最合適的、最應份去做的，其實是那二十多位泛民立法會議員，他們理應走出來以死去威脅政府封關。Over my dead body! Ain't it right?
醫護界一眾專業人士，應該有投票給這批議員吧？我們投票選出代議士，作用正在於此！泛民政黨有數十年當福利黨的經驗，醫護人員應該去民主黨總部、公民黨總部示威，要求他們想辦法迫令政府封關，而不是由他們帶領你們，去犧牲自己專業操守，去做政治操作。
搞政治的不去做政治，反而誘騙醫護去搞政治，這就是荒謬之處。
經一事，長一智。共勉。
A week-long work strike has ended. Nothing feels more helpless than this, witnessing how it evolves but not able to do anything to help. Words are not enough to describe that kind of agony.
What the healthcare professionals demand comes with sound reasons of course, and their burning danger is of course critical. Yet, to close the border or not to close it is a political decision - one that should never be taken up by healthcare professionals. Political decisions rest with political means. Critical periods in the fight against the coronavirus are never the right time for healthcare professionals to hold their professionalism against the government, much less an unscrupulous one, for a political decision.
In fact, someone else in the society is more appropriate to stand up for our healthcare professionals, and they have indeed every reason to do so. That someone else is the group of pan-democratic law-makers. They have the responsibility to demand the government with the strongest and deadliest terms to take action to protect the territory and the live-saving professionals. "Over my dead body!" Doesn't it ring a bell?
I believe most healthcare professionals must have voted for this group of pan-dem law-makers in the last election. Now is exactly the time we should put our votes to work! The pan-democratic parties have decades of experience in being welfare parties. Who else can do a better job than these people? What healthcare professionals should have done is to take the protest to the headquarters of the Democratic Party and the Civic Party and press these law-making professionals to kick the government into action, instead of being led by them into some political maneuvering at the expense of your own professionalism.
Those supposedly good at political maneuvering chose not to get their hands dirty but to drag some other professionals in a different field into their turf to get the job done for them. That's how ridiculous life is in Hong Kong.
We all live and learn. May we all be wiser in the days to come.
