    Surge of mycoplasma pneumoniae / Disposable tableware survey

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we're talking about the recent surge in pneumonia and respiratory illness in parts of the world.

    The World Health Organisation requested more information on these cases on the mainland last week, and this had attracted global attention.
    But the WHO said health authorities there have not detected any unusual or novel pathogens.
    A surge in these illnesses have also been recorded in parts of Europe and the United States.
    How concerned should we be? Is this just a part of the winter flu season? Does it show that immunity among the population remains low after Covid lockdowns?
    After 9:45am, we look at a new survey on the use of plastic cutlery in Hong Kong.
    Let us know what you think. You can leave a message on our Facebook page, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or call us on 23388266.

    Hong Kong's rising income gap / Use of Metaverse at university

    主持人:Janice Wong and Philip Wong

    On Friday’s Backchat, we look at Hong Kong’s wealth gap, after a new Oxfam report suggested that economic inequality here is at its worst in a decade. 

    It found the richest 10 percent make almost 60 times more than the poorest; a fifth of the population were below the poverty line as of the first quarter of the year; and economically inactive households – mostly elderly people and homemakers – make up a large proportion of the bottom 10 percent.
    The charity says the government can help by creating more jobs for the underprivileged, and by reviewing Hong Kong’s minimum wage every year to make sure it keeps up with inflation.
    Do you think the wealth gap is at its widest in a decade? Is inequality getting worse? What’s the best way to address the problem?
    After 9:45am we dive into the Metaverse and see how two universities are using the virtual space to educate their students.
