Since August, the epidemic in the northwest has been confusing. After a long period of lockdown, the epidemic still spreads, and the large number of spillover cases also indicate that many provinces have not done a good job in clearing the zero. This is a relatively serious phenomenon.
As we all know, the epidemic will continue to be input. On the basis of insisting on dynamically clearing with , the most effective and basic thing is to normalize nucleic acids. Nucleic acids need to have sufficient detection capabilities to match, and at the same time, there must be sufficient logistics guarantee systems to connect. Faced with the extremely powerful Omickron variant, this system must be continuously improved to achieve zeroing at the lowest cost. The earlier you discover, the earlier you get it, the smaller the loss.
However, we were also surprised to see that the epidemic situation in the northwest region has not improved after a large-scale lockdown. This shows a lot of problems. The Xinjiang Autonomous Region has previously reported the situation and showed that the system for nucleic acid testing is not sound, and there are still many standards that have not been fully implemented, which is likely an important reason why the Northwest region has been difficult to clear zero in the near future.
Northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, but economic development has also been relatively backward for a long time, and the resource stock is relatively insufficient compared to the eastern region. Since the beginning of this year, the epidemic has penetrated into many small and medium-sized cities and county towns, which has also brought great difficulties to epidemic prevention and control. Small and medium-sized cities and counties lack sufficient medical resources, nucleic acid testing capabilities, and the ability to ensure the supply of materials is relatively poor, so it is difficult to implement dynamic zeroing. In addition, there may be many details that are not managed in place, which creates considerable resistance to dynamic zeroing and greatly extends the blocking time, and the effect is relatively poor.
Northwest region is relatively backward, and a large part of the population that is not as commonly disciplined by markets and industrialization as in the east. The overall discipline will be relatively poor, and the government's control over society will be weak and not as deep as other places. Similarly, the institutionalization of governance will be more hindered by the relatively weak economy. The northwest region has not formed a rich and diverse market, and therefore the local government lacks a governance mechanism to deal with diversified needs. Many local governments have relatively simple and crude management methods, and their work is not meticulous. The way of doing things in one pass is easy to cause opposition to society and is not very helpful for clearing zero.
Many people say that cadres in the Northwest region are not flexible enough, but in fact they mainly lack experience in dealing with complex markets. If they are immersed in a developed and surging market for a long time, cadres will naturally be screened by the structural pressure brought by complex market competition, and ultimately form a strong response ability. Similarly, many people in the Northwest themselves believe that they are not as flexible as those in developed eastern regions, which is also the result of most people in the Northwest who have not been disciplined in a strong market.
The simple logic is that an ordinary farmer's compliance with time is likely to be less than that of office workers or industrial workers who check in every day. If the lifestyle is too traditional, the effectiveness of many rules in modern society will be reduced.
These are old and debts in the northwest region. While many eastern cities have implemented normalized nucleic acids and have successfully overcome many imported epidemics, avoided large-scale lockdowns and maintained large-scale personnel flows, the epidemic in the northwest region has been locked down for a long time but has not been controlled for a long time. This is something that needs reflection. The nucleic acid testing system is not done well, which means that a large number of effective regulations in other places have not been implemented clearly in the Northwest, which is quite worrying.
Northwest's future is actually very positive. The Northwest region is the link between the mainland and Central Asia, and is a necessary key node for the Silk Road Silk Road on the land. For example, Gansu's Hexi Corridor is almost the only way for the mainland to enter the center of the Eurasian continent, and Xinjiang is more likely to become a key springboard for radiating to Central Asia in the future. Under this circumstance, the future of the Northwest is actually relatively optimistic and has huge potential. However, under the test of the epidemic, we can believe that the governance capabilities of the Northwest cannot meet the needs driven by this radiation, and therefore will hinder the release of this potential.
Front-smashing still needs to be strong himself, and the Northwest region still needs to make more in-depth changes, which will be helpful for epidemic prevention and the future.
