Since Guangzhou took the lead in gradually relaxing epidemic control, All parts of the country have gradually relaxed epidemic prevention and control policies. The country first introduced 20 optimization policies, and then introduced ten new policies. no longer checks nucleic acid when entering public places and taking public transportation. The itinerary card has been officially offline since 
:00 on December 13. Now, you don’t need to check nucleic acid when entering most places, and you don’t even need to scan the code when entering many places. From not going out unless necessary to not doing nucleic acid unless necessary, perhaps many people have not been able to adapt to such drastic changes for a while.
Before China took strict measures to control the epidemic before, Western countries led by the United States had many complaints about our epidemic prevention policies. The United States is one of the earliest countries in the world to relax. The United States has repeatedly brought Western countries to demand China's opening up. The United States even said: "If China encounters difficulties in opening up, the United States will provide international assistance." Although no one can believe this, it can't stand it so nicely. Now that China has really opened up, the United States has announced that it will restart nucleic acid testing for . Why did the United States start to control the after China was released?
At present, the prevention and control measures around the world are to curb the spread of the epidemic through transmission channels, but special drugs that can directly kill the new coronavirus have not been invented yet. Now it seems that , the new crown is unlikely to suddenly disappear like SARS in the past. Therefore, to solve this problem, we can only rely on the future development of human biomedical technology. This means that the new coronavirus will exist for a long time in the future. This is almost universally known, but how long is this long term? Now no one in the world can tell when the COVID-19 pandemic will end.
The worst case is that the new coronavirus will continue to exist in the next few decades and even hundreds of years. This means that most of us may not see the day when the epidemic ends. Although this worst case may not necessarily occur, no one can tell how long the new crown epidemic will last. Could it be that the epidemic will keep everyone shut down if it doesn’t end for a day? Who will farm? Who works? Who produces production and living materials? Didn’t everyone eat or drink during this period? Therefore, it is unrealistic to wait until the virus is completely removed before resuming work.
In the long-term control state, people cannot go to work normally, resulting in a decrease in income. Mortgage and car loans have become practical problems facing many families at present. For ordinary people, having a job and having food is the hard truth, and losing a source of income will be a heavy blow to a family. Who should bear the livelihood issues of so many people? In fact, since last year, countries around the world have chosen to relax one after another. Our country is very cautious about the relaxation of control and control with an attitude of being responsible for the lives and health of the people. The reason why we postponed the time for liberalization to now is to observe the situation after other countries are liberalized.
2022 Since March and April, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore and other countries have successively relaxed controls and have experienced waves of outbreaks, but the peak of each wave of confirmed cases has become lower and lower. Now the openness of society in Vietnam, Singapore and South Korea has basically returned to its pre-epidemic state. , Qatar , which has been sticking to it for three years, also adopted an almost fully liberalized policy on the eve of the World Cup. It now seems that the holding of the World Cup has not caused the large-scale spread of the new crown epidemic in Qatar. At present, the infectiousness of Omickron is indeed getting stronger and stronger, but its toxicity has actually been much weaker.
Hong Kong University and Hainan Medical College show that the current Omickron mutation strain has a geometric decrease in pathogenicity compared with the original strain of the new coronavirus and other variants that appear later. The National Key Laboratory of Virology at Wuhan University also confirmed that the pathogenicity and virility of the Omickron mutant strain have been greatly reduced. The country's current choice to relax is precisely because of the scientific judgment that the pathogenicity of the new coronavirus is gradually declining. In the past three years, China has adopted a strict national chess model to fight the new crown epidemic. During the epidemic, every community in China has become a bastion to resist the risk of infection.
It is in the past three years that we have won for us to complete national nucleic acid testing and large-scale vaccination. In the past three years, my country has effectively dealt with more than 100 clustered epidemics and effectively responded to the impact of five waves of global epidemics. China's infection rate and death toll have remained at a low global level for three years. Against the backdrop of the global outbreak, China has actually become the relatively safest place. China will never "lay flat" when it should not "lay flat" but will resolutely adjust smoothly and in an orderly manner when it needs adjustment. It is the efforts of the past three years that provide confidence for us to relax now.
In fact, foreign countries cannot say that they don’t take the COVID-19 seriously, but they put economic interests first. Of course, foreigners are also afraid of death, but they advocate a free and free life, so they cannot take large-scale blockade and isolation measures like China. Foreigners generally regard the new coronavirus as normal birth, old age, sickness and death. Since everyone cannot avoid birth, old age, sickness and death, they simply do not want to invest more energy in fighting the epidemic. They are unwilling to affect their normal lives in order to prevent the epidemic, so they can only choose to leave their fate in the face of the virus.
The current situation in the United States is actually to make up for the loss. The current epidemic situation in the United States is actually a triple overlap of new coronavirus infection, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus transmission. Nearly 100 million people in the United States, with a population of only more than 300 million, have been infected, and millions of deaths in the past three years. On the one hand, the government's inaction caused too many deaths, and on the other hand, the US economy did not improve immediately as soon as it was liberalized. In addition, the Black Lives Matter movement and the Capitol Hill incident that occurred during the epidemic further exacerbated social conflicts. People who had accumulated a lot of resentment continued to take to the streets to protest against the government's inaction.
American logic is that birth, old age, sickness and death caused by natural disasters are irresistible, but the government must try to do something in the face of disasters. As for whether the problem can be solved after doing it, it has to be left to fate. The United States has indeed announced the restart of nucleic acid testing, but the nucleic acid testing in the United States is different from the large-scale national nucleic acid testing we used to do. The US government only distributes COVID-19 testing kits to the public for free. As for whether the person who received the kit will do the test or not, it depends on voluntary action. This is roughly similar to the practice of our country that encourages the people to do antigen testing at home.
In fact, the US government does not necessarily mean that it is really worried that the epidemic will rebound again, otherwise the US would not have chosen to let go so early. The current practice of the US government is actually more about showing the public an attitude that it is indeed taking measures. The United States adopts such a approach based on its own national conditions, so our country must also make corresponding adjustments based on changes in the epidemic situation and combined with its own national conditions. Many people may think that after the release, they will be able to return to normal life: those who should go to work and earn money to support their families, those who should go to school, those who should go to school, and those who should go to school should go to school if they have other diseases...
But the real situation now is that everyone is still worried: they go to work in the company for fear of positive people appearing in the unit, and sending their children to school for fear of positive people in their classmates and teachers. When the weather is cold, they doubt whether they are positive if they have some cold symptoms... The epidemic prevention policy has been relaxed, but some stores still have not opened. At the same time, cold medicines were stolen and fever clinics were hard to find. In the past, people only bought medicine to treat the disease when they got sick, but now people are rushing to grab a bunch of cold medicines at home and wait for the disease to come.
originally hoped that the economy would be revitalized after the release, so that everyone could make money to support their families, but now I wandered around the streets and found that it was even deserted than before. In fact, this situation is just a temporary pain. Such pains have occurred after other countries have been liberated.Now we need to worry about another situation of adding layer by layer: When the country emphasized control, some regions increased layer by layer during the implementation process; now the country emphasized optimization of prevention and control, so it simply put it to the end. Now so many people who are yang complain that they cannot buy medicines prove that some areas may not have investigated the local drug reserves before they are liberalized.
Of course, I also believe that such a problem can be solved as soon as possible. In fact, some places are taking measures now: Shandong has now resumed nucleic acid testing for 48 hours, and Jiangsu has changed the original nucleic acid testing point to a fever clinic... It seems that there are indeed some problems in the process of relaxation in various places, so it is reasonable for the government to promptly correct these problems in accordance with the attitude of being responsible for the lives and health of the people. We are not going to restore the previous model of strictly guarding and defending each other, but to make scientific and reasonable adjustments based on the development of the current epidemic situation.
