According to foreign reports, Pyongyang There has been a sharp increase in patients with respiratory diseases among residents of Pyongyang. The North Korean epidemic prevention agency requires Pyongyang citizens to stay at home for five days before the early morning of the 29th of this month and measure their body temperature every day.
North Korea discovered new coronavirus cases in May last year, and then adopted high-intensity epidemic prevention measures and declared victory over the new crown crisis in August.
The current epidemic in North Korea is obviously the second wave of the new coronavirus epidemic.
Foreign media reports
The new crown epidemic has become a pandemic around the world. When facing the epidemic, every country has different ways of responding. Different response methods will cause different changes in the development of the epidemic and present different states.
I think that among all the countries in the world where epidemics have occurred, the epidemic situation in North Korea has an extremely important forward-looking and warning role for our country. We should attach great importance to the occurrence and development of the North Korean epidemic, which is of extremely important role and significance for our country's epidemic prevention and control in the next stage. Why does
say this? Our country's epidemic prevention and control and epidemic development have distinctive characteristics, which are completely different from most other countries.
But North Korea is the only country whose epidemic control and development is similar to that of our country. The development of the epidemic in our two countries is likely to have the same pattern. Moreover, the outbreak of the epidemic in North Korea was earlier than ours, which has an extremely beneficial forward-looking warning effect for us.
China and North Korea have adopted a long-term zero-tolerance approach to the virus .
We know that the new coronavirus epidemic has been happening across the country for three years. However, only China and North Korea can maintain a state of basically zero domestic virus transmission for a long time.
Of course, the epidemic prevention and control measures adopted by our two countries are still different. North Korea has completely closed itself off and stopped all external exchanges. Even after the outbreak of the epidemic, material transportation to our country was completely interrupted.
and our country adopts the scientific method of dynamically clearing from . After the epidemic is discovered, decisive measures are taken to extinguish the epidemic in time so that the epidemic cannot spread.
In the first two years of the epidemic, both China and North Korea achieved very good results in epidemic prevention and control.
But in 2022. Due to the emergence of the Omicron mutant strain, the virus's ability to spread has developed rapidly, and the virus's incubation period and attack period have been greatly shortened. That is to say, all three dimensions are accelerated, making prevention and control increasingly difficult.
The virus appeared in North Korea in May last year. And the virus was developing rapidly. The number of daily cases initially reached hundreds of thousands, and gradually dropped to 90,000 daily cases over the next month. As of July 29, there have been no new suspected cases. On August 10 last year, the country announced victory in its largest emergency epidemic prevention war. The first wave of the epidemic in North Korea lasted 91 days.
Since the epidemic in my country was relaxed at the end of December last year, it has basically experienced a process of rapid and rapid spread for nearly a month. By now most people have been infected and the epidemic has basically stopped spreading.
It can be seen that what China and North Korea have in common in terms of the epidemic is that most of the country's population was infected with the virus in a short period of time, and then antibodies were produced, which temporarily formed universal immunity, and the epidemic came to an end.
However, the antibodies produced by the human body in response to new coronavirus infection generally only last for 6 months.
Therefore, when the whole population is infected at the same time at almost the same time and produces antibodies at the same time, they will also face the situation where the antibodies disappear at the same time.
In other countries, the new coronavirus mutant strains they faced in the early stage had weak transmissibility, long incubation period, and long onset period. This weak link results in slower transmission and different times for different people to develop antibodies. The time it takes for antibodies to disappear also varies. Especially after three years of long-term repeated effects of multiple rounds of epidemics, the retention time of antibodies among different people is completely staggered, making the epidemic development in these countries slower than that in my country, but it is difficult to produce a period of universal immunity.
The strains infected in my country and North Korea spread quickly, have a short incubation period, and a short onset time.Moreover, people across the country are basically infected at the same starting line, produce antibodies at the same time, and disappear at the same time. One benefit that
will bring is that there will be universal immunity for a period of time.
will also bring a disadvantage, that is, the entire population will lose antibodies and be infected with the second wave of the virus at the same time. If the whole population is infected with the virus at the same time, it will inevitably cause another medical shortage and face another epidemic tsunami.
Because of this, the development of the epidemic in North Korea has a forward-looking and early warning role for our country and has great reference value.
The epidemic in North Korea started in May and ended in July. Antibodies in the entire population generally end from December to February.
And now it is January, the middle month from December to February. The epidemic in North Korea broke out again just in January. The intensity has reached a level that requires strong government intervention.
This gives us a serious warning. The epidemic in our country is also very likely to break out again six months after being infected with the virus, when the national antibodies disappear.
Due to personnel exchanges and stricter prevention and control measures, the first wave of the epidemic in North Korea took three months to develop. It means that the antibodies of all citizens will disappear in about three months, and they will face reinfection within three months.
However, because our country has adopted completely liberalized measures and no control, it only took a short time for the entire population to be infected.
So the next time we face an epidemic, it will develop even more rapidly than the current epidemic in North Korea.
Now we can often see many people on the Internet saying that the virus is gone all of a sudden, great, the epidemic is over. In fact, this view is seriously wrong.
If you hold this view and are blindly optimistic and believe that the epidemic is over, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
North Korea is ahead of us due to the epidemic and has given us a good preview. It proves that the antibodies will disappear in 6 months, and the epidemic will spread again after the antibodies disappear.
Therefore, we must sum up regular experience and lessons from the development of the epidemic in North Korea. Then take a proactive approach to coping.
We are now in the most precious window period between two waves of epidemics. We still have several months of precious time to think of more ways to carry out scientific epidemic prevention to minimize the harm and impact caused by the second wave of the epidemic.
Our country’s national strength and advantages are much greater than North Korea’s, and we are fully capable of doing better than North Korea.
But at the same time, we must also see that North Korea also has many valuable experiences and practices when dealing with the first wave of the epidemic, which are worthy of our study and reference. We cannot blindly develop a sense of superiority.
That’s all for today’s article. In the next article, I will focus on analyzing what North Korea’s response to the epidemic has that my country can learn from.
At the same time, I think that in the face of the second wave of the epidemic, if we cannot avoid infection, the best way is to let everyone become asymptomatic infections . This can not only reduce the harm caused by the virus to us, but also obtain natural immunity and produce antibodies, allowing us to survive the second wave of the epidemic at the minimum cost.
As for how to become an asymptomatic infected person, I recommend the following article to everyone. Please read it carefully. The XBB mutant strain is sweeping the world. If infection is inevitable, how to become an asymptomatic infection?
If you think my article is beneficial to you, please follow me. You are also welcome to forward and like it to actively support my views.
In the face of the epidemic, none of us can survive alone. Scientific epidemic prevention methods must be publicized so that everyone can develop a positive consensus. Only through unified action can we create a group effect and defeat the epidemic.
once again hopes that you can follow me and forward my articles. Everyone is welcome to leave positive comments. We brainstorm and gather collective wisdom. #Epidemic Latest Situation##Spring Festival Epidemic#
