Covid-19 vaccines: stop the scaremongering and let Hong Kong get on with life People queue up to get Covid-19 shots at a community vaccination centre at Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park Sports Centre in Sai Ying Pun on June 16. Photo: Sam Tsang
I would like to compliment the Hong Kong government for its handling of the pandemic. The reluctance of many in Hong Kong to be vaccinated is no fault of the government but more because of the scaremongering by the media.
I believe it would be timely for Hong Kong follow the example of Singapore, which has come to the realisation that Covid-19 is a flu-like virus which might not be eradicated for a very long time, if ever. Therefore, the sensible approach is to accept it and learn to live with it. That means getting back into a normal routine with citizens taking responsibility for their health, wearing masks in crowded areas, trying some social distancing where convenient to do so and accepting that vaccines are much safer than infections.

Hong Kong exodus: think carefully before making that leap A family of Hong Kong immigrants walks along Jericho Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia, on January 26.

As a middle-aged citizen who studied in the United Kingdom for three years and with family and friends scattered across the world, from Australia and New Zealand to Canada and Singapore, I wish to say a few words on this issue.
Racial discrimination is not a factor that should be disregarded. Would you mind if locals spit on you or assault you in the streets, ignore you in the shops, bully you in the workplace or school and so on just because you are of a different colour?
