香港比大多数地方更好地抵御了covid-19大流行,这要归功于较早采取的社会隔离措施、严格的检测,以及仍在2003年非典疫情创伤中保持警惕的市民。每天新增病例数已降至个位数,恢复正常可能指日可待。然而,在当地的设计领袖中,有一种感觉,那就是情况已经发生了变化,前方的道路将需要新的方法和哲学。
Hong Kong has weathered the covid-19 pandemic better than most places, thanks to an early embrace of social distancing measures, rigorous testing, and a vigilant citizenry that still bears scars from the 2003 SARS outbreak. The number of new cases per day has fallen to single digits, and a return to normalcy may be in sight. Still, among local design leaders, there is a sense that the ground has shifted, and the road ahead will call for new approaches and philosophies.
