摄影：Paul Yeung/ 彭博 香港行政長官李家超對於是否會尋求連任，依舊沒有明確表態，在明年特首選舉前回避有關其政治前途的問題。 在接受《南華早報》採訪被問及是否會尋求連任時，李家超表示在政治領域，一年很長。「我認為現在並非考慮這個問題的時候，」他說道。 李家超的任期將於明年6月底結束。香港行政長官選舉通常在3月舉行，而提名程序大約早一個月啟動。 香港行政長官李家超攝影：Paul Yeung/ 彭博 他強調，即將出台的香港首份五年規劃將體現政策的連續性。為期兩個月的公眾諮詢於周一啟動，旨在收集市民意見，使香港的經濟、科技和社會政策更好地與國家發展相契合。 李家超對香港經濟形勢表示樂觀，承諾將進行「進一步改革」。 儘管伊朗戰爭引發全球能源危機，但香港今年第一季度GDP仍創下近五年來最快增速。與亞洲其他經濟體類似，香港也受益於全球對AI的需求浪潮，同時消費和投資成長也為其帶來動力。 推薦閱讀：香港GDP增速創2021年以來最快 自疫情以來首次跑贏內地...

Abstract The human coronavirus HCoV-OC43 (OC43) is the most widespread of the four common cold-causing seasonal coronaviruses, and tissue culture-adapted strains of it have been used for ~50 years. Nevertheless, clinical isolates of OC43 differ from tissue culture-adapted OC43 in ways that call into question the value of the latter as a model. Among these are differences in their entry mechanisms and the activities of their hemagglutinin-esterases (HE).
