Recently, the view that "beginning of sun and good luck" has caused heated discussions online. This view believes that infection with the new coronavirus is equivalent to getting vaccine once, and early infection can bring about early recovery. The original intention of this view of
may be to hope that everyone will reduce their fear of the virus and return to normal life as soon as possible, but the effect may be counterproductive. The basis of this concept is that after infection with the virus, protective antibodies can be produced, thereby achieving permanent immunity for one infection. But in fact, "early sun and early good luck" lacks support from scientific basis. Previously, some experts pointed out that although immunity to the strain will be obtained within a certain period of time after infection, it does not mean that it will not be infected again. The "fierce" of the new coronavirus will increase the probability of repeated infection and even increase the risk of severe illness.
In fact, "early sun and good luck" is not only a contempt for the virus, but also awe of life. From the perspective of development trend, although the Omickron variant has strong infectivity, its pathogenicity is rapidly decreasing, so that a large number of infected people have no symptoms. In this context, the concept of "early sun and good early" has a soil for spread. Influenced by this concept, individuals are likely to relax their vigilance against the virus, and even fail to comply with the current epidemic prevention regulations and take the initiative to get infected with the new coronavirus. But no matter what the symptoms are after infection, getting sick is a painful process for most people, and no one will like the taste of getting sick. "Early Yang and Good Early" not only accused of instigating active infection, but also in essence it is disrespectful to life and health. No matter how small the harm of the virus is, it is not worth risking at the cost of health. No matter when, cherishing health and staying away from the virus are the greatest responsibility for yourself.
In addition, "early sun and early good luck" is no different from the early "demonized virus". Going from one extreme to the other is a manifestation of being divorced from science, which is fundamentally a lack of scientific understanding of the virus. In order to quickly arouse the attention of the virus in the early fight against the epidemic, many places used "stimulating" words as warning propaganda. Today, international and domestic monitoring data confirm that the pathogenicity and virility of the Omickron mutant strain and its evolutionary branches are significantly weakened compared with the original strain and mutant strains such as delta . This news undoubtedly reduces the public's fear of the epidemic. However, the disenchantment of viruses should also be avoided as excessive. The concepts such as "early sun and early good luck" are a manifestation of overcorrection. You should know that panic or disdain is not the right attitude towards the virus. What people need is real popular science, and suggestions on how to take correct actions and maintain a good mentality when facing the virus. Skipping the virus or even actively greeting the virus should be abandoned at any time.
, a hundred miles away, has achieved significant results in three years of epidemic prevention and control. We must take the last few key steps well and we must not take it lightly. Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health. What individuals need to do now is to maintain a good attitude, actively prevent and control, learn scientific epidemic prevention knowledge, and not let "sightedness" become a breakthrough for the virus, so as to build a healthy barrier for themselves and their families.
