The world is not black and white!
Some people criticize both "blocking" and "letting go"!
Which decision is correct between "blocking" and "letting go"? It seems that everyone has a different answer.
People who want to continue the "blockade":
Although they long for a normal life, health is the most important thing, because once a person loses his health, everything else is zero. Especially since there are elderly people and young children at home, I hope to continue the lockdown and protect my family to the maximum extent!
Their mentality can be summed up as: "People not only live for themselves, but also live more for their parents and family."
People who want to "let go":
It's hard to bear this kind of unfree life. I'm tired of the nucleic acid day after day, and I'm even more anxious about living with only expenses and no income. Although physical health was well protected, mental health problems gradually appeared.
There is a saying that goes like this: "People do not live to live, but live to live."
The ideas of these two groups of people seem to be contradictory, but in fact they are both correct, let alone simply and crudely regard these two groups of people as opposites!
Whether they are people who have been under lockdown for a long time during the epidemic, or people who have fallen ill after being released, they are all victims of the epidemic.
It is difficult for all living beings to agree, let alone a huge country with a population of 1.4 billion? Therefore, no matter whether it is "blocking and controlling" or "relaxing", there will always be some people who will "swear". After three years of epidemic, it is normal to have emotions! But we cannot let our emotions take over our minds.
Would it be better to continue the ban than now?
Assuming we continue to block and control, will it be better than now?
Let’s talk about the answer first, it must be better than now! However, this is only temporary! If
follows the policy of continuing to block and control, then the virus and will continue to be blocked and controlled. But the question is whether the virus can be completely eliminated?
1, Omicron virus is highly contagious
A few days ago, Zhong Nanshan announced the latest data on the Omicron mutant strain:
Its strain R0 coefficient can reach 22, that is, one person can infect 22 people. The fatality rate has been reduced to about 0.1%. The R0 coefficient reaches 22, which means that one infected person can infect 18 people today, 18*18 people will be infected tomorrow, and 18*18*18 from the day after tomorrow... The infection ability is so strong that it is impossible to prevent it, and it is impossible to prevent it! The
virus is too contagious. Blockade can only temporarily prevent large-scale infections, but it cannot completely block the small-scale spread of the virus. Then the virus may break through our blockade defense lines at any time. Therefore, dynamic clearing becomes increasingly difficult!
2, the mortality rate of Omicron virus has weakened
We just mentioned that in the data released by Zhong Nanshan, the fatality rate of Omicron virus has been reduced to about 0.1%. The earlier original strain and the mutated delta strain had a fatality rate of 4.6%. The reason why
was released is also based on comprehensive considerations of the weakening toxicity of the virus itself.
3. If the blockade continues, the gains will outweigh the losses in the long run.
Blockade is only a means to block the spread of the virus. It has never been the way we live. After three years, the impact has been too great. Specific to each family, young and middle-aged people cannot work normally, children cannot attend school normally, and the elderly cannot enjoy their old age normally. Needless to say, the impact is huge, you and I feel it deeply!
If a family is like this, what about a huge country?
Under the epidemic, all walks of life have been severely impacted. Many practitioners have reduced incomes and lost their jobs, and bosses have laid off employees and gone bankrupt! Students are unable to attend classes offline, which seriously affects the quality of learning and may even cause physical and mental health problems.
The summary is: If the lockdown can effectively stop the spread of the virus, it doesn’t matter if we continue to prevent and control it for another year. But the reality is that the result of letting go now is the same as letting go a year later. On the contrary, it will affect people's normal lives. So it is better to suffer long-term pain than short-term pain. Since the outcome is already determined, why not get rid of all the hardships first?
Therefore, it is correct and wise to relax control. However, there are still some situations that urgently need to be followed up, such as the protection of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, and the easing of problems such as difficulty in purchasing medicines. This is what we must bear the brunt of thinking and solving at the moment.
In the cold winter of the epidemic, it is not easy for everyone, and they have their own pains and hardships. The barbed words at this moment are like ice picks in the cold winter, which are cold and painful when they pierce the body. Why don't we hold each other together to keep each other warm, overcome the difficulties together, and be full of confidence and expectations to welcome a better tomorrow after the epidemic!
