  COVID-19 and gender-specific difference: Analysis of public surveillance data in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China, from January 10 to February 15, 2020

summary:
  The serial interval of male primary cases was 3.5 days (95% CI, 1.2−5.7) shorter than that of female primary cases, or 49.7% (95% CI, 15.3−70.1%) lower in percentage. To explore the temporal patterns and the gender-specific difference of serial intervals, we adopted two regression models.

Whereas uncontrolled studies of treated cohorts in Asia have suggested that using moderate doses of corticosteroids, 1 to 2 mg/kg of a prednisone-equivalent daily, at the first evidence of severe SARS, specifically hypoxemia, may improve survival, 59,61,62 corticosteroid therapy for SARS has had serious adverse effects, 63 and a single randomized trial of preemptive pulse corticosteroid therapy did not show benefit.

Leave no one behind is the overarching principle of the United Nations' It is important to consider whether the entering approach is indeed more effective than the leaving approach in reducing the number of CSSA recipients in Hong Kong.

However, given the high need for intensive care of patients, the case fatality rate, and public alarm worldwide, use of stringent measures to limit the effective infectious period of probable SARS cases would seem prudent.

summary:
  According to Hong Kong authorities, in the first 6 months of 2014 the number of people arrested who are younger than 22 has risen by 67% compared to the same period in 2013. In the intermittent period between the 1950s and the early 1980s, Hong Kong was labeled a sweat-shop for the world's light manufactured goods, but with the open-door policy introduced by Communist China in 1978, Hong Kong industrialization came to an abrupt end in the early 1980s.

  Obviously, the lack of opportunity for Hong Kong young people to have upward mobility is a serious threat to individual well-being and societal quality of life. Although Hong Kong physically returned to China on July 1, 1997, it has been difficult for Hong Kong people to develop a high level of trust in the Beijing Government for two reasons.

  Air ventilation assessment under unstable atmospheric stratification — A comparative study for Hong Kong

summary:
  In general, the neutral assumption, which does not consider thermal stratification in air dynamics, is a simple but widely accepted assumption for urban wind studies. However, the neutral assumption does not adequately represent the actual situation, as the daytime atmospheric boundary is likely to be unstably stratified, particularly under clear sky and low wind conditions [7] .

  Effects of general and sexual minority-specific COVID-19-related stressors on the mental health of lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Hong Kong

summary:
  Minority stress theory proposes that sexual minority health disparities can be explained in large part by stressors induced by a hostile, homophobic social environment, in which LGB people have to live with harassment, maltreatment, discrimination and victimization (Frost et al., 2015; Meyer, 2013) . Nevertheless, due to the implementation of social distancing restrictions, sexual minority people may have fewer access to LGBT+ community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
