Create a crisis, solve a crisis
#然後話自己好叻
#明報| 英文 | 毛孟靜
//所謂危機管理（crisis management）中，有一項手段，叫create a crisis, solve a crisis（製造危機，然後解決危機）。
重點就是聲東擊西、轉移視線，是一種 diversion tactic：因無法處理危機而試圖轉移公衆視線，即聲東擊西之策。
不幸地，林鄭月娥往北望，一直拒絕全面封關，就令人有類似聯想。
• Some would accuse the government of helping to create a new crisis — by refusing to conduct a total border closure with mainland China — in an attempt to make the crisis of continuous pro-democracy protests go away. 有人會指控政府，不全面封閉中港邊境是為了製造新危機，並企圖藉此擊退延續中的民主抗爭。
• Carrie Lam says Hong Kong cannot conduct a total border closure with China and "target" mainland travellers as that could amount to discrimination, but she shuts the city’s door on Korean travellers almost immediately. 林鄭稱把中港關口全部封閉會構成歧視（discrimination)，但當韓國同樣有疫情爆發，港府就忙不迭向韓國旅客落閘了。武漢是發病源頭，韓國疫情顯然是支流，不堵截源頭卻先去阻截支流，邏輯上也說不通，that defies logic too。
• The Korean ban happened on the day when that country's number of infected cases was more than 800, while that in China was just short of 80,000. 對韓措施實施當天，韓國確診個案超過800宗，中國大陸的人數就接近8萬。
這一場公眾健康驚恐（ A public health scare）持續不足一季，已經令我們的日常生活起了大變化：
• 停課不停學（From class suspension to online learning）
• 在家工作（Home office）
• 恐慌式排隊買口罩（Panic buying of facemasks）A run on toilet paper, etc，搶購廁紙，等等。
記得嗎，a run on a bank、a bankrun，就是銀行擠提。市面種種有關現象， 都可統稱為 the health panic（健康恐慌），the virus scare（病毒驚恐）。
• Hong Kong has been enveloped in the health and public health panic. 香港籠罩在健康及公共衛生的驚恐中。
• Many businesses have shut down temporarily amidst the virus scare. 礙於病毒驚恐，許多行業都已暫停運作。//
