自由健康于感恩
这次新冠病毒对人类的侵略让我感概最深的因该是自由，健康与感恩。
自由可说是人类的灵魂。自由不只是体现于行动与活动。自由也是一种思维，情感及意愿的示范。
健康不局限于身体良好的状态，也包括生理、心理及精神上的健全。
这场疫情更让我更深刻的体会感恩的意义。感恩于家人与好友的关爱，感恩于我们的医疗系统及前线医护人员，更要感恩政府在这段时期不断的帮助国人，应对疫情。

Surgery postponed for some, but necessary procedures still done. Dr Lee Hung Ming speaks to Straits time on this.
"Dr Lee Hung Ming, senior consultant from Asia-Pacific Eye Centre at Gleneagles Hospital, has reduced the number of procedures he does a month by around 90 per cent since the tightened circuit breaker measures came into effect.
All Lasik and most cataract procedures have been postponed to after June 1.
The eye surgeon told The Straits Times: "We operate only if both eyes are badly affected or if there might be potential complications if not treated. This is especially since most of our cataract patients are elderly and they should stay at home."
