面對口罩的短缺
今日，有班熱心的年輕人在村口和村公所派口罩同洗手液給元崗村的居民。因武漢肺炎導致的口罩短缺，從農曆新年至今，仍然很難買到實惠可靠的口罩。住新界的老人或退休人士亦很多無法周圍「撲」口罩和清潔用品。很多藥房一盒40～50片口罩的價錢仍然高企，甚至品質也不一。前陣子還有搶購廁紙、米、甚至即食麵，確實反映人民恐慌和對政府管理失去信心。甚至有醫院也面臨得一個禮拜的儲備，實屬可怕。在這種情勢下，仍然有群年輕人自發地免費派口罩，真的很窩心，多謝晒🥰如果香港有更多像你們這樣的居民，我相信香港一定能挺過來。香港加油💪大家要健康👌
Facing the Face Mask Shortage
In the wake of a severe mask shortage since the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, a group of caring youngsters brought out boxes of face masks and hand sanitizers to hand out for free, to residents of Yuen Kong Tsuen at the archway and the village office today. Although rumors say the most dire shortage may be relieved soon, there are still many elderlies and retirees that have difficulty running around the city in search of affordable face masks. In many pharmacies, the prices are still at least double or triple the regular prices. For more reliable Japanese made face masks, prices can go up to $500-1k HKD a box. Not too long ago, there were also trends of stockpiling toilet paper, rice, and even instant noodles; acts that reflect the fear, anxiety and distrust in the governing system.
In these times, it’s nice to see such caring and thoughtful act. As opposed to the selfishness of those buying out face masks and cleaning solutions, and boosting prices for financial gains, these youngsters are handing free face masks and sanitizers that many people need. With youths like these, I believe Hong Kong may still have a future. Add Oil Hong Kong!! Stay strong, stay healthy!!
