Living in Hong Kong for long enough, you would have tears in your eyes when you hear a government official from the Ministry of Health in a great country like New Zealand ending his address to the media with a reminder like this:
In Hong Kong, we don't seem to have the human factor in our mind anymore.
聽久了港共政府官員在記者會的官腔，忽然聽到紐西蘭官員匯報完最新疫情後，仍不忘加上最重要的人文關懷。寥寥數句，已教人莫名的感動︰
反觀香港，早已沒有「人」這個元素……
Finally a reminder that self-isolation does not mean social isolation, physical distancing does not mean social distancing.
It's really important for mental well-being that we stay connected with each other more so than ever.
There are many ways to reach out to people, through phone, social media, online contact, even if you can't visit them in person.
Talking to people and checking in on others keeps us all connected.
This is more important than ever.
The smallest and largest question you can ask someone is: Are you okay?
In Hong Kong, we don't seem to have the human factor in our mind anymore.
聽久了港共政府官員在記者會的官腔，忽然聽到紐西蘭官員匯報完最新疫情後，仍不忘加上最重要的人文關懷。寥寥數句，已教人莫名的感動︰
最後，想提一句，自我隔離並不等於社交隔離，減少身體接觸並不等於減少心靈接觸。若要身心康泰，最重要的是保持聯絡，現在更需如此。保持聯絡有很多方法，即使不能親身見面，也可以打個電話、在社交媒體或上網發個訊息。保持聯絡、噓寒問暖，大家彼此照應，此時此刻，尤為重要。一句最簡單而又最重要的問候，大家都可以多點向身邊的人問一句︰「你還好嗎？」
反觀香港，早已沒有「人」這個元素……
