I see a strong indication of ignorance from this irrelevant statement.
Let's just assume those numbers are correct, which they probably are not.
A vaccinated person being positive means nothing. If you're vaccinated, testing is an absolute waste of time unless you have symptoms. And then it's only useful of you want to isolate from the unvaccinated to protect them. Which unless their lack of vaccination is due to some real medical reason, they're not entitled to any consideration or protection whatsoever. All the previous viruses human kind has had to deal with were no different than this one. Back then testing wasn't so easily available and unless you had symptoms you or others didn't know you even had the virus. So none of this testing hysteria was present back then.
The real number that means anything is the hospitalization numbers. Positive test numbers mean nothing. The entire number of people needing hospitalization right now due to covid complications are unvaccinated.
If you study how a vaccine works you'll see that it is not intended nor capable of preventing the virus from entering you body. It trains your immune system so when it encounters the virus, it is equipped to fight it effectively, minimizing the virus effectiveness and maximizing your body's chance of beating the vaccine quickly before it causes complications. So of course a vaccinated person can test Positive. The body can't fight the virus using the vaccine effect UNLESS the virus first enters the body.
The testing hysteria is the major problem causing disruption and gross waste of resources which should be used elsewhere. The US CDC is moving in this scientific direction finally eliminating the testing once you're not symptomatic.
In hk they've never had qualified and able scientific people in charge of anything and their response to this and previous similar situations of smaller scale has always been not based on science and logic. It's all based on ignorance and fear caused by their inability to think and act with reason and logic. The way they're acting is nothing new. Need I remind you all the toilet paper hoarding/shortage hysteria they started as a result of the initial outbreak of covid in hk? What toilet paper has to do with covid is something a person with a reasonable and logical thinking brain can't explain or understand. But somehow hk society linked the two together and went crazy hysterical over buying all the toilet paper they could for months, because... covid!
It's just that this time the consequences of their inability to reason and logic has been exponentially negative. And this time with availability of testing the hysteria has been grown to what it is today, In other parts of the world also but it's waning elsewhere gradually and in hk they're getting even more crazy about testing and still in outright denial of the knowledge and understanding developed by science and research since.2 years ago. They still think their ridiculous surgical masks are adequate to prevent infection. They go crazy enforcing mask wearing while outside but walk inside a bar or club, it's jam packed to capacity with people standing literally face to face talking without masks. And as soon as you walk outside... you must wear a mask! The giant loopholes in their system are really too many to list.
The silliness is beyond description, in hk and elsewhere where they still suffer from testing hysteria and denial of science, reason and logic.
