Introduction Spinal muscular atrophy is a congenital condition associated with mutations in the SMN1 gene. Patients have normal intellectual development, but the natural history is progressive respiratory failure resulting in premature death. Case Diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 in early primary school, the wheelchair‐bound girl developed severe pneumonia on one occasion, when she became critically ill and was admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit with multiorgan dysfunction, requiring mechanical ventilation and high inotropic support. Parents and the patient expressed strong desire for full respiratory and intensive care support to be given. Survived the episode, she is wheelchair ambulatory and continues to pursue a creative artistic career. Discussion Children with SMA and their families need to be supported by a comprehensive multi‐disciplinary team to manage this illness. Pediatricians and healthcare givers must provide up‐to‐date health advice on COVID‐19 prophylaxis and management to special groups of patients with respiratory and neurological risks.

“…Unfortunately, the emergence of variants, vaccine hesitancy, and various political issues hindered the efficacy of >10 novel vaccines on a global scale. 2 With a higher basic reproduction number than some other common respiratory viruses, the spread was likened to soldiers hidden in the Trojan horse. 3,4 Many countries and cities worldwide, including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Chile, South Africa, and Thailand tried to transition to a post-pandemic 'new normal' by living alongside SARS-CoV-2.…”

“…The media plays a vital role in the successful implementation of this strategy of accepting the virus, as the public needs to be wellinformed regarding the ongoing global situation and relevant policies. 2 While we have to live with COVID-19, due consideration should be given in relation to the various epidemiological factors, such as seasonality, vaccination coverage, non-COMMENTARY pharmacologic interventions, healthcare system capacity, and treatment options. 20…”

Background: The author and his wife report their unique experience of international travels during the COVID-19 pandemic, and discuss issues encountered in various countries. Methods: Narrated discussion of issues encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussion: “Zero-COVID” versus “Living with COVID-19” strategies are compared. Children have unique issues with COVID-19 pandemic. Evaluation of efficacy of the approaches in pandemic with time should consider the main types of interventions (e.g., border management/quarantine; physical distancing; mask use; case isolation, testing and contract tracing; vaccination). The key metrics that can be used to compare the impacts of different strategies between the cities (e.g., cumulative case rate, cumulative mortality rate, case fatality risk, stringency index, economic performance) should be identified. Research in these approaches can help manage future pandemics in coronaviruses and emerging infections. The UK started with very loose mitigation ('herd immunity') and then switched to a suppression approach for periods, whereas HK has stuck with elimination throughout. In between, countries like Singapore, Australia and New Zealand have shifted from zero-COVID strategy. It is easier to have effective social control measures in Hong Kong because it has clear borders and an authoritarian government, but it did not have a clear exit policy when Omicron spread.
