For a long time, I have been a supporter of the policy of strictly controlling the epidemic, but this round of epidemic is too fierce. I, who have been spontaneously silent for a long time, finally couldn't stand it from supporting the blockade to supporting the unblocking. Why is my transformation so big? It boils down to one sentence, only when a stone hits your feet will you realize it hurt.
Previously, there were sporadic outbreaks in Chongqing, almost every time it happened around me. At the most dangerous time, it was in the neighborhood. Everyone was very nervous at that time, but soon the sporadic outbreaks were suppressed. With more sporadic outbreaks, it was successfully blocked and spread and expanded many times, so I gave me more confidence to support strict control. There were many people holding this idea at that time. After all, this kind of blockade did not have much impact on life and could also ensure people's health.
But this round of Chongqing epidemic broke out too hard. The repeated outbreak of the epidemic has suspended the entire city. Chongqing has also invented a new word called "spontaneous silence". This word is definitely the first time in Chinese history, and even the whole world will appear for the first time. The meaning of spontaneous silence is that the people of Chongqing voluntarily blocked their homes to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Guangdong may have to learn from Chongqing next.
was spontaneously silent in the early stage. One person was allowed to go out for one trip within two days to buy daily necessities. At first, everyone thought that this method was effective and could quickly suppress the spread of the virus. At this time, no matter whether the community had positive or close contacts, it was blocked in the community, so complaints began to appear, because this was different from the 20 things that everyone understood.
, but the new addition is still continuing four days later, while , , the main urban area of Chongqing, showed a multi-point explosion trend. Our doorway pass has been upgraded, and it is still one for six days. Every two days, one person is allowed to go out to purchase daily necessities. Of course, nucleic acid is still made every day. When the second pass is about to be used up, everyone thought it would be unblocked, but the third doorway pass has come again, which means another 6-day lockdown period. At this time, more people's anger began to rise, because from the beginning, our community was positive, and that building was blocked, and the main urban area of Chongqing also entered spontaneous silence. However, after the first building with positive infection was unblocked, the second building in our community was found to be positive again. When the second building was about to be unblocked, the fourth building of the third building followed. In other words, there will always be 1-2 buildings, and the buildings that have been positive have never appeared. Because they will be blocked and cannot go out, the community owner group will also announce it, so everyone is more familiar with the situation.
At this time, more people's mentality began to collapse. Because nucleic acids are strictly prohibited from going out every day, there are still new ones in the community, and 1-2 buildings appear every time, and new buildings appear every time. Everyone is worried that it will come to their heads at any time, and why it cannot be stopped. In addition, every rumor said that it will be unblocked, and even red-headed files are spreading wildly, but every rumor gave hope and ruined hope, so more people found it difficult to stop it by blockade. The key is that they don't know when it will end, and they are afraid that like somewhere in Shanghai and Xinjiang, the blockade for several months will make many people unable to withstand it. People are not afraid of blockades, but are afraid of long-term blockades and frequent blockades, which cannot withstand them.
Real conditions determine that many people cannot bear the long-term lockdown. Let me take Chongqing as an example. The salary level in Chongqing is generally low. You can go to see hotel waiters, supermarket employees, etc. Many of them have less than 3,000 yuan. If you are a little younger, you can get more than 3,000 yuan. The salary of factories is generally around 4,000 yuan (get it). Don’t take programmers , engineers, these are the few people in Chongqing. Overall, Chongqing people have low incomes, which leads to poor family backgrounds, so it is difficult to experience a long-term lack of work. Some people may say that the salary is not paid as much as possible if they don’t work? How many months can a large company last, but what about a small company? Many people can't stand it and want to go bankrupt or lay off employees. Moreover, during the silence, many small companies are not qualified to open the door at all, and they just have to kill many small bosses, which means that many small bosses either go bankrupt or lay off employees.
Chongqing's per capita income is low but its expenses are very large. First of all, the mortgage problem is the problem. Before 2016, Chongqing's housing prices were low and the income was low, and everyone still had money to consume. After 2016, Chongqing's housing prices rose rapidly, but their wages did not increase. Many young people had to bear huge mortgages to buy a house with marriage. Many people's mortgage loans exceeded 4,000 yuan. In addition to the expenses of raising children and the elderly, as well as property management fees, living expenses and other support, some of the little money earned by the family had a slight surplus, and some were not even enough to spend money and need to overdraw credit cards.
Some people may say that you can ask for a suspension of mortgage loans. Hasn’t the country issued a policy? A message I saw on the Internet a few days ago cannot confirm the authenticity of the news. The content is that although a certain bank agreed to the request to suspend repayment, the mortgage will be recalculated and told that more interest will be paid in the future. If this is true, then the bank is really adding fuel to the fire and causing trouble to the country. I hope this news is fake.
Officials say it is very good on the Internet. The entire city pressed the pause button, but the mortgage loan did not press the pause button, the property management fee did not press the pause button, and the living expenses did not press the pause button, so how can I press the pause button? Even if property management fees, mortgages, etc. are suspended and paid, are you not allowed to pay for your meal? The country can't support you. Living expenses also cost money. A family of four has to spend more than 2,000 yuan a month, and all of them have to be paid for phone bills, electricity bills, water bills, network bills, etc.
Someone may laugh, can’t I stick to it in a month? If a month can solve the problem, of course there is no big problem. The key is that it can be solved in a month? It seems that the last time Shanghai was closed for more than two months, right? Shanghai's management level is the leading country, and their speed is the fastest. Look at Urumqi's lockdown in several months, how many people can withstand the control for several months? After a few months of home control, let alone housing loans and other expenses, the living expenses alone cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Even if you have survived this round of epidemic, what about the next round? This is the first time that Shanghai and Beijing have faced the large-scale spread of Omickron , and then quickly controlled it. However, after just a few months, Beijing has appeared on a large scale again, and Shanghai has also added new ones. I don’t know if it can be controlled. Even if Beijing and Shanghai control this wave, what about the New Year? What about March after the New Year? What about the summer vacation? There is only one wave that cannot be controlled, and it is still unknown how long it will be blocked.
Beijing and Shanghai have a wealthy family. They can afford to seal the ban for several times for several months, but do low-income cities like Chongqing dare to compare with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou? What I am most worried about now is that Chongqing cannot control the epidemic within one month, so more people's mentality will collapse. Everyone has seen it online. Some people in the community have begun to act violently, and many people have begun to spontaneously boycott nucleic acid.
Some people say that blocking your home is for your health. If you have no money to eat at home, do you give it money? If you don’t have money to pay your mortgage, you’re overdue. Do you rewrite your credit for them? The long-term lockdown has caused many businesses to go bankrupt or lay off employees, and a large number of people are unemployed at home. Do you provide them with jobs? I think these people who are very fenced cannot answer this question. Just like I can't answer now how to face a medical run after the lockdown is lifted, this is a contradiction, and it is a situation where fish and bear's paw cannot have both. In 2020, there were only 6 people left in my own studio due to the epidemic, and in 2021, I only had 4 people left. I had to fire the last employee of this year and compensate the N+1 2 months ago, because if this continues, I will not be able to pay the salary. According to my understanding, many of my peers have gone bankrupt this year, and some cannot even pay wages. Although our company is not large in size, they are small companies with a few to dozens of people, but the total amount is still quite large, and this is just an industry.
I looked at it and actively supported strict control. Most of them are not in the blocked area. They can live and work freely. They have deposits and enjoy life. Of course, I hope we will continue to block it so that it will not spread to them and disrupt their lives. But if they are also in the blocked area and have been blocked at home for a long time, and even blocked for a few months like a certain place in Xinjiang, I believe he will change his mind, because the stone will only hurt if it hits his feet.
This reminds me of a classic story, Nepal people want to develop the economy and live a good life, but the American people do not agree, saying that their economic development will damage the local environment and harm the health of the local people. In the eyes of Americans, the Nepal people must keep the beautiful scenery and wait for the Americans to enjoy it at any time. As for the life and death of the Nepal people, they will ignore it. Americans enjoy the beautiful scenery, and then go home to continue working and make money. They avoid talking about sacrificing their own environment to develop the economy. This is a typical double standard, a typical egoism.
