Once upon a time, when the country was still implementing strict measures to prevent and control the epidemic, many people jumped up and down, made irresponsible remarks, and followed the Western media’s public opinion in a rhythmic manner, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, and even once questioned the country’s epidemic prevention policy.
Among them, some people, relying on their own subjective imagination, feel that Omicron is no big deal, and follow others and say it is just a "big cold";
Some people intentionally or unintentionally follow the propaganda of Western media and public opinion, demand "freedom" and "human rights", and shout "Don't use the elderly as a shield."
Of course, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the epidemic prevention policy because the epidemic prevention and control has affected their livelihoods and even their lives.
Their common demands are: freedom, human rights, and economy!
Is their appeal wrong? Absolutely right! The problem is that as part of the national strategic decision-making, epidemic prevention policy must consider all aspects of factors, weigh the pros and cons of all parties, and must be based on the interests of the vast majority of people.
The real situation is often not as simple as some people subjectively imagine, let alone the situation some people see objectively. Our cognition is often affected by many subjective and objective factors.
It is true that any decision cannot be comprehensive and take into account the interests of everyone. Especially as a large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, it is even more difficult to make everyone happy.
As far as epidemic prevention and control policies are concerned, we should realize that whether the state strictly controls or relaxes the epidemic, it is a difficult and helpless move.
Before we opened up, the Western media led by the United States criticized our epidemic prevention policy, saying that there was no democracy, freedom, and human rights.
Some people also follow the opinions of the Western media, and use their words to make things up and down, and even make troubles. The banner they use is freedom and economy.
Now, as they wished, the epidemic prevention policy has been completely relaxed. However, did they really get what they wanted?
Not only did they not see the expected "glitter" scene and "sit back and watch the clouds rise" scene, but the situation was even worse than under strict control!
Look at the daily increase in infection cases in Zhejiang exceeding 1 million, Qingdao the daily increase of 500,000, and even a prefecture-level city Dongguan with a population of only more than 2.6 million has an increase of 250,000 cases every day, not to mention other first-tier cities.
What is even more frightening is that the surge in severe cases is impacting hospitals in some places, followed by clinical frontline emergencies, and a run on medical resources may occur at any time.
A large number of medical staff in many hospitals have been infected. In some hospitals, even half of the medical staff have been infected. The number of medical staff has been severely reduced. The fever clinic has been paralyzed. Doctors from all departments are treating fever patients. The chance of infection among medical staff has greatly increased, forming a vicious circle and exacerbating the strain on medical resources.
The number of deaths has increased sharply in various places, and even funeral parlors have to wait in line for several days to handle funeral procedures!
These situations are certainly not what we want to see. We can only face it positively.
At this time, the Western developed countries headed by the United States went against the norm. After trying every means to open the door of China, they blocked China!
They first stopped providing exit visa services to Chinese people at various embassies and consulates in China, and then conducted mandatory nucleic acid tests for Chinese people entering the country.
If you think these are nothing, look at today’s high-speed railways and commercial centers. They are almost empty. Even during the lockdown, it is still hard to get a ticket!
Because people without Yang dare not go out, and people with Yang cannot go out. They almost have to experience symptoms such as "throats cut with blades", "cement sealing noses", "severe coughing", "bone-breaking pain", etc. Is this a "big cold"?
At this time, those people who were constantly talking about the situation during the lockdown period, confusing the public, complaining about the national epidemic prevention measures, and even denying the country's three-year epidemic prevention policy have disappeared. Perhaps they stay at home more than anyone else and are more conscious of strict control than anyone else.
Seeing the current domestic situation and the ugly face of media public opinion in Western countries, they really have nothing to say.
If they really want to say something to gain some traffic, they have to go against their conscience and conduct a "rebellion"!
Of course, whether our country’s epidemic prevention policy is strict prevention or relaxation depends on our own national conditions and actual situation. It will never be influenced by certain people, let alone certain public opinions at home and abroad. We have our own rhythm.
