Since the full liberalization, I rarely pay attention to the daily number of new infections released across the country, because there are people around me who are constantly positive , some with Yang Kang, and even those with Double Ninth Festival.
For now that the lockdown has been lifted, it is really meaningless to pay attention to the daily number of new new crown cases across the country.
But I saw a statistic not long ago that said that there were only more than 2,000 new cases of infection in the country a day, and the cases were clearly listed in each province, city, and imported cases from abroad.
I don’t know how these numbers were calculated, and I don’t know whether the person who edited these numbers thought about it over and over again or whether his hands were shaking when he wrote them.
In the past, due to our temporary victory in fighting the epidemic and the " dynamically clearing " policy, the number of new infections in China was lower than the number of new deaths in the West.
But that is all in the past, and we cannot deliberately avoid this number just because the number of infections has surged after the epidemic was relaxed.
In fact, after liberalization, the number of new infections in our country has increased exponentially. The number of infections in one day may be more than the population of other countries. These are facts. Even if we don’t say it, the people can feel it.
If you really want to publish it, publish it properly. If you don’t want to publish it, then just say you won’t publish it and come up with such data that no one believes. Who are you trying to fool? Whose face was hurt? Who else saw the joke?
Having said this, another thing is related. In the last two months of 2022, our country has lost a large number of old scientists. Among these people, there are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and a large number of old professors.
Some people live a long life, and it is considered a happy death to fly to the west, but some people are too young: for example, Jiang Hualiang, a famous pharmacologist, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and former director of Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, died at the age of 57. For these scientists, they are only halfway through their life journey, and the road to scientific research is far from complete. The middle road has collapsed, which makes people sigh with regret.
In their obituaries, we often see the sentence, "Treatment is ineffective due to disease." What disease is it that treatment is ineffective? Is death accelerated by infection with the new coronavirus?
We have said before that if deaths due to ineffective diseases are 99% due to underlying diseases and only 1% due to new coronavirus infection, then the new coronavirus is at most the straw that breaks the camel's back.
But now it seems that this statement is problematic. Even if basic diseases account for 99%, if there is no qualitative change caused by the 1% virus . Maybe even if it's 99%, it can still hold on a little longer.
But if it is this 1% that causes complications and eventually death, then the question becomes, how many human factors are involved in this 1% of infections?
If it is because of liberalization policies, can our policies provide more protection to these real national treasures? But if it is due to lack of medicine, delayed treatment or misdiagnosis, then we have to ask ourselves, what did we do?
Perhaps, these masters may not encounter it, but ordinary people have encountered it. Let’s not talk about the lack of medicine. There are still many people who cannot buy medicine, and misdiagnosis has begun to occur. I watched the news today. A bride who was about to get married in Guangdong was infected with the new coronavirus and died during treatment. She did not have any underlying diseases during her lifetime.
People are really afraid now. In addition to the virus, they are even more afraid of being in an unknown environment. They don’t know how many critically ill cases there are around, and they don’t know how many people have actually died because of the new coronavirus.
I don’t even know whether we ourselves and the country can survive this fight against the virus.
I wonder if our medical resources will be exhausted one day, and will our medical staff be exhausted?
still doesn’t know how much we currently know about this virus, and whether the current policies can withstand subsequent peaks and virus mutations.
When many people are confused about the future, it is really the most dangerous time for the Chinese nation. The national anthem is right. But in the face of difficult situations, in addition to staying vigilant, we must also persist in seeking truth from facts.
In fact, when the epidemic first began, everyone was no less confused than now when faced with the sudden virus. At that time, everyone also continued to question Wuhan's lockdown.
Should families be reunited or should the city be closed for prevention and control? Submit to human nature or adhere to science, in the end we chose the latter despite pressure, and we won the first battle of epidemic prevention and control.
is now facing the same problem. It rests on its previous achievements and actively faces new problems.
chooses to be realistic and say that our number of critically ill patients continues to increase, or should we continue to say that our new cases are still very few?
Should we stick to our conscience towards the people or stick to our face towards the West?
To be honest, in a country with a large population like China and a country whose economy has only been prosperous for a few decades, it is quite difficult to achieve the current level.
There are still many places to spend money, we admit it; the foundation of medical resources is weak, and medical staff themselves are in short supply, which is also a fact.
These people can understand that after the relaxation this time, the people are actually saving themselves and society is basically in order. This is because everyone knows that relaxation must be a last resort. The pressure of the virus is there, and coexistence can only be a future choice.
But the current data makes everyone uneasy. Have we reflected the numbers of critical illness and death based on a realistic attitude? Why are there rumors that the crematorium cannot be burned? Who should the people listen to?
If it were just statistics, that would be fine, but this is a question of credibility. If you do not believe in mainstream public opinion but believe in rumors, what will be the result?
If you say that there are enough medicines on the market, then I will definitely grab them. If you say that vegetable prices will stabilize soon, then I will stock up on vegetables immediately. If you say that the number of critically ill patients will decrease before the next wave of peaks, then I can’t wait to get a bed in a hospital. If you say that there will be no infection in nursing homes, then I will bring the elderly back immediately...
What will happen if all the people’s behaviors go against the mainstream voice? If this is the case, then maybe the news that the virus is about to mutate from Western research institutions will directly mess up our hearts, and this is really what these imperialists want.
A great man once said that if imperialism is not determined to destroy us, how can we prevent it? First of all, we have confidence in our own country and our own system. So what if the new coronavirus is more severe? If we are not doing well, it will be even worse abroad.
Don't think that they don't wear masks now and are happy and happy. There are many infected people who are hidden among ordinary people and those who have lost the ability to work, but we just don't see them. Even if others are living a comfortable life now, opening up prematurely in the future does not mean that there will be no serious consequences.
We have just liberalized the situation. We should compare the "abnormality" after liberalization with the "normal" of others, or we must reflect our superiority in numbers and reflect "Awesome, my country". In fact, there is no need for that. Neither facing the problem squarely nor seeking truth from facts.
is based on national conditions, respects reality, believes in science, and solves problems. Solve your own problems first. Maybe this is what these departed scientists want to see in the sky.
