Combining prevention and control, joint prevention and control, and group prevention and control are important lessons learned in the fight against the epidemic. In the past three years, our country has continued to strengthen health science popularization, carry out health education, interpret knowledge about the transmission routes of viruses and personal protection that the public is concerned about, and promote the general public to improve their protection capabilities, forming a strong atmosphere of working together to fight the epidemic. If everyone takes the first responsibility for their own health, they can build a solid social defense line for epidemic prevention and control.
Currently, "Are you positive?" has quietly become a new greeting. The experience of COVID-19 infection posted online has given more people a scientific understanding of the COVID-19 virus and reduced their fear. However, we must also note that in the face of the new coronavirus, individuals have different feelings, mentality and understanding: those with elderly people, children, and patients with underlying diseases at home are more worried; those who think they are strong, have strong disease resistance and have complete medicine reserves are calmer.
No matter what your mentality, you need to recognize the fact that the new coronavirus is highly contagious, which not only causes health hazards to the infected, but also brings infection risks to people around you. Some people's symptoms are not obvious, but it does not mean that those with underlying diseases can survive it. Being the first responsible person is not only responsible for yourself, but also for the people around you and society. Trying to be "late sun" or even "no sun", and be cautious in words and actions when introducing the infection experience is the correct "way to open up" in the face of the epidemic.
At the national college anti-epidemic lecture held by Sun Yat-sen University recently, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that there is now a saying that "it is sunny in the morning and it is sunny in the evening. It is better for everyone to be positive together". This concept is not advisable. Our country has a large population base, and large-scale infections in a short period of time will not only affect normal life order, but may also lead to the emergence of new mutant strains.
In the past three years of fighting the epidemic, we have accumulated a lot of effective experience and made a lot of preparations. However, our country has a large population base and has entered an aging society. The sharp increase in -positive infections will put medical and social resources under great pressure. After the introduction of optimization measures, everyone has a heavier responsibility. They must not only be the first person responsible for their own health, but also mobilize their relatives and friends to prevent and respond. In particular, they must mobilize the elderly who have no contraindications and meet the vaccination requirements to get vaccinated.
At present, the number of calls to the "120" hotline in some places has increased, and some places have experienced shortages of call resources and difficulties in dispatching emergency vehicles. Some of the calls are made by people with mild or even asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, which has inadvertently occupied precious first aid resources; netizens in some places have reported a shortage of cold and fever-reducing drugs, and some people have stocked up on a lot of medicine at home; some individuals have spread inappropriate remarks on the Internet and spread unverified news, causing interference to epidemic prevention and control. These phenomena remind that under the new prevention and control situation, everyone should remain rational, especially leaving medical resources to those who really need them.
When a boat reaches a turbulent place, it is even more important for everyone to work together. Everyone should be the first person responsible for their own health, pay attention to the elderly, children and other vulnerable groups around them, and provide them with the help they can. Only in this way can we build a "Great Wall of Immunity" to deal with the epidemic.
