"Zhiyuan Reading City": Seeing the people around you fall one by one. Everyone has to face the question: How do we get along with the new coronavirus? How do we overcome this disaster? I believe everyone will have his unique way. And your approach is part of the fight between humans and virus .
Conquer nature? Human beings are still too small
At this moment, human beings' ambition to conquer nature is undergoing a serious setback.
That’s right, this epidemic that has lasted for three years is another battle between mankind and nature. And it is the kind of blood blade facing each other and bayonets that are red.
Obviously, humans have not taken advantage of it. The enemy cannot see or touch it, but it is spread all over every corner of the city and village, in every wisp of air.
In this long fight against the epidemic, we have become familiar with a large number of new terms such as new crown , delta , Omickron , closure, Dabai, and optimization. They suddenly and concentrate in our lives, reconstructing our understanding of society and the world.
Among humans, there are always some people who like to "be worried about nothing". They make movies such as " Blood Epidemic ", " I Am Legend ", "Iron Nematode Invasion", "Influenza", "Infectious Disease", " Days of Exotic Bacteria ", " Doomsday Virus ", " Travel to Busan ", and " Perfect Feeling ".
In 2011, "Perfect Feeling" directed by American director David Markenz shows that after humans are infected with the virus, they lose their sense of smell, taste, hearing, vision, and cannot smell, taste, hear, and even cannot see the world.
Faced with these human self-prophecy, some people always disagree with it and think it is just alarmist.
Today, does anyone think so?

October 25, 1977, was designated as the day when human smallpox disappears. That day, after a smallpox patient was found in Somalia in Africa, no new smallpox patient was found in the world for two years. That moment was a rare highlight moment when humans fought against viruses. Some people are happy and believe that human beings have opened a new era, "a small step for human beings to overcome smallpox is a big step for immunology."
Reality proves that humans are still too happy too early. This time, the epidemic lasted for so long, surpassed the 1918 flu and exceeded the most conservative estimates at the beginning of 2020.

of course, new predictions come out again: in the first half of next year, humans will no longer be afraid of the new coronavirus and its various mutant strains. Such optimistic estimates as
are of course welcomed. However, the reality we face is still cruel.
One thing in front of you and me is, how do you and I survive this last darkness? If the epidemic can develop as optimistic estimates.
After entering the last month of 2022, society has become too magical. On the one hand, the patient is humming and humming after being hit, but on the other hand, it is various jokes, jokes or self-mockery that revolve around concepts such as "yang", "no yang", and "yang Kang".
It can be said that the people have arranged the jokes and jokes that can be thought of with the relaxation of strict epidemic prevention measures as the background.
This optimism from the people is not completely useless: it makes people who are yang no longer lonely, no longer complain about the world, no longer worry about being discriminated against, and get rid of the spiritual shackles, which will help to recover faster; it makes people who are not yang do not have to worry all day long, and do whatever they should do, even if it is yang, it should be treated as a temporary rest for a few days.
In fact, after the release of strict epidemic prevention and control measures this time, it means a great progress in our strategy for fighting the epidemic.

From the Alpha in 2019, to the Beta in 2020, to the Delta in 2021, to the Omickron in 2022...
can be seen that the new crown epidemic, a monster of nature, is far smarter than humans imagined. This made me suddenly think of the clever Tu Kun in "Avatar: The Way of Water". The difference is that the latter is a friend of the Pandora star, rather than the Omickron who is now insisting on rushing towards us.

In other words, when we gradually become familiar with the characteristics of a mutant strain and find a solution to it, it will quickly find a new breakthrough.
Why is the virus so smart?
In the British scholar Richard Dawkins 's famous book " Selfish Gene ": natural selection is beneficial to genes that can control their survival machines and make full use of the environment, including other survival machines of the same and different species.
This passage tells us the following truth: the battle between the new coronavirus and humans is not about using black in one move, but adopting a group fight tactic, that is, each virus fights independently and attacks in a corps. Fighting with each other means that a single virus gene will adopt different combat strategies according to the different environments in which it is located. Some of the strategies are clumsy and will be eliminated quickly, while others will win repeatedly and eventually win, becoming the mainstream strain. Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omickron... to the "Hellhound" strain that has appeared in Japan recently, this is how it stands out from the group fight.
. Human response measures must be taken uniformly from the beginning and strictly guard against each other. This method is more effective when dealing with clear enemies, but it seems clumsy, not flexible enough, and lacks innovation.
. After we took optimization measures, we changed our previous clumsy tactics, and we also learned that the virus would take group fights. Everyone is involved in the battle, and as for how you deal with the enemy, it is up to the individual to decide. Among us, there must be some talented people or those favored by fate who will come up with some effective and convenient tricks to defeat the new coronavirus. This trick will eventually become an experience that will be preserved in our culture until we encounter the next new virus.
This is exactly what American scholar Scott Page told us in "Diver Diversity": a group composed of a variety of problem solvers will always be better than a group composed of the best and smartest problem solvers. Some biologists who have gone further regard the chance of choosing and diversity of as the reason why humans can exist.
Although these views are counterintuitive, they are important reasons why we should protect ecological diversity.

Open the streaming platform at any time, and you will find: everyone is selling you how to fight Omickron. Of course, it also includes eating yellow peaches, a placebo-like method. In fact, many ways have proven nonsense.
Nevertheless, every possible symptoms and details about Omickron has been repeatedly discussed countless times. Just in this chaos and inconsistent situation, who can deny it? There are really some ways, that is, it is better than others.
When humans enter the stage of group battle with the new coronavirus, we must believe in the power of the group and our own power. We must take positive action and do something. Maybe the way you contribute is hidden the ultimate password to defeat the new coronavirus. Then you will become a superhero who saves humanity.★
