Wuhan Fengcheng, this decision seems to be sudden, but also inevitable, this decision, the sooner the better, the more sentimental, the virus than water and fire, the more terrible is the mutation, once the super-drug king, the consequences are unthinkable. All the citizens of Wuhan have made great efforts and sacrifices. In the information age, the serious lag of the Wuhan epidemic, circulatenotice, is unreasonable behavior.

People`s Daily and the Global Times have rarely criticized Wuhan officials and cautioned against any kind of fluke, because & quot; any kind of fluke could kill & quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;& quot;&&& "

People`s net commented that the official inaction of wuhan, using three "bold ", the specific performance is: information disclosure is not timely and accurate," bold" let patients travel," bold "let the source of the epidemic open," bold" let the key susceptible people do not wear masks to avoid causing public panic.

We are worried that some local governments and departments will have the early luck of Wuhan," avoid the formation of social panic "as a policy priority, emphasizing" internal and external loosening ".


The following is a partial screenshot of the article, with the full text attached.

People`s review: In the face of the epidemic, any luck can kill people

Pneumonia, a new type of coronavirus infection from Wuhan, has emerged in many places, but also as a "aggressive" posture in the public opinion field. General Secretary Xi Jinping gave instructions in this regard, stressing the need to put the safety and health of the people first and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic.

How to curb the spread of the epidemic? How to put people`s life safety and health first? The answers are mixed, but one thing is clear - any "bold" or "undefended" fluke mentality is extremely difficult.

From the call of relevant experts that "people cannot go to Wuhan now, Wuhan people cannot come out ", to Wuhan prevention and control upgrade to implement incoming and outgoing control, and then to the Health and Health Commission, the Civil Aviation Authority, the National Railway Group and the National Health and Insurance Bureau have all acted, no doubt in order to curb the epidemic" separation zone ", put on "protective clothing ".

Compared with the previous, Wuhan came some inexplicable "bold" news is really surprising, but also caused public doubt. Such as information disclosure is not timely and accurate," bold "let patients travel," bold" let the source of the epidemic open," bold "let the key susceptible people do not wear masks to avoid causing public panic.

Especially in the situation that the epidemic has attracted the attention of the whole society, Wuhan still sends 200,000 free travel coupons on a regular basis," inviting "citizens and tourists to visit popular and closed tourist attractions such as Yellow Crane Tower. It was only after the public outcry that officials woke up to announce the postponement. There are more than 40,000 families in the local community who have had a group meal, or even have been told that the families of confirmed cases have bypassed the airports and stations and taken the patients to the field for hours to see a patient. These are somewhat of a "fearless ignorant person ", but they do make a bone in the throat.

Behind "boldness" is luck, ignorance of the law of prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, and disregard for the health risks of oneself and others.

Outbreaks, outbreaks caused by especially new types of viruses, often erupt or even mutate, and people have a gradual understanding and improvement of the process of response, completely reasonable. The initial expression of "there is no evidence of human heirloom" and the previous day`s indication that "there may be persistent heirloom" reflected a prudence. It is obviously too harsh to demand accurate judgment from the beginning. However, it must be pointed out that because of the complexity and unknown nature of the new virus, we should be more rigorous and meticulous, not to say "preventable and controllable ", rather than strictly guard against the strict, no departments and individuals, in any process and link, there is a fluke mentality.

All localities, departments and trades should take a responsible attitude towards the people, put an end to fluke and resolutely shoulder their responsibilities. It is also necessary to make sure that the information is transparent, take the initiative to relieve the "heart disease" of the society. The "SARS" campaign 17 years ago exposed our problems in responding to major public health events and we paid a significant social cost. Tuition cannot be paid in vain. We must make progress.

Prevention and treatment of infectious diseases is a systematic project, which will also increase the cost of social management and reduce the convenience of living. Every member of society should be responsible for himself and other people`s lives, must not seek their own convenience, for their own self-interest, in violation of the various provisions of epidemic prevention, not to mention "which is so susceptible to infection" fluke mentality. Respect for science and life should always be our motto.

Objectively speaking, in the face of the epidemic, it is difficult for some people to understand how to deal with it. Infectious diseases are already likely to trigger social panic, not to mention the cause of the pneumonia is temporarily unknown, adding an anxiety. More importantly, the violent shock caused by the SARS epidemic of the year has been precipitated in public memory and social psychology, and it is easy for people to unconsciously correspond and associate with it. Whether or not to do a good job of epidemic prevention and control, whether the epidemic will continue to expand, when the peace of mind to go out. A series of question marks hang in everyone`s heart.

In such a moment, we all feel at ease to see the veteran experts such as Academician Zhong Nanshan still fighting in the front line. Wuhan doctor`s Timeline screen, let us respect the health care community. At the same time, we are deeply saddened by the news that "15 medical personnel have been infected ". Only if every department, every post, every person is in awe of it, and we put an end to luck, will we live up to the commitment of the health care staff in the front line.

Only in this way can it be meaningful and valuable.

Wuhan slowed down the lesson, other places must give up luck to speed up the response

A war against new coronavirus pneumonia is beginning in china. This is a country with extensive experience in fighting SARS, a country with strong organizational skills and relatively adequate medical conditions. Our conditions are sufficient to enable us finally to overcome this still somewhat mysterious virus.

To overcome this ferocious disease, in addition to cure, the greater difficulty is prevention. The extent to which we can curb its proliferation will determine the overall face of the battle.

From the initial situation, Wuhan did not in the first time to seal the new coronavirus in the minimum range, frankly speaking, our first war is unfavorable.

When a disease arises, it becomes impossible to find out what it is familiar to us in the past, so unique as to have no record of any kind of disease, and when modern medicine has no medicine to combat it effectively, there is no way to take it at all. But Wuhan`s actual response was apparently slow, with no comprehensive quarantine treatment, blocking all potential channels of transmission so that the virus spread across the country. This is yet another poignant lesson.

Today the main battlefield is still in Wuhan and Hubei, but the front has spread to the whole country. Today, the country`s epidemic is a bit like that of Wuhan 20 or 30 days ago, and the number of cases is increasing, but "controllability" still looks like a big probability. The most important thing today is that the country should run at the fastest speed according to the law of disease control, run ahead of the spread of the virus, resolutely formed in the second line of defense against the new coronavirus encirclement and suppression.

We are worried that some local authorities and departments will have a fluke mentality in early Wuhan, making "avoiding the formation of social panic" a policy priority and emphasizing "tight internal and external loosening ". We note that until the 22nd, some of the crew members at the airport, train station and high-speed rail carriages and civil aviation passenger aircraft wore masks, but some were still not wearing masks and were not allowed to wear them.

Please check, whether the local media in the prominent position of the new pneumonia has been fully reported repeatedly, the province and the city out of the first case or new cases, is there a wide publicity? People with a new type of pneumonia are middle-aged and elderly, and the most discussed is the Internet. If some middle-aged and elderly people don`t have much access to the Internet, can they feel the severity of the epidemic?

Although there are many people wearing masks in many densely populated areas, a closer look will show that more young people who wear masks are not susceptible to the new type of coronavirus, whereas middle-aged and elderly people who are prone to infection wear masks are much less.

We feel that some places have already been severely affected by the spread of new pneumonia, but the city`s prevention and control work is still routine, or has not been really mobilized to respond to a major public health campaign. Is there any assurance that when an imported new type of pneumonia occurs, it will ensure that it does not infect people around them or health care workers?

Has the ability to quickly discover infected patients been established in time? Are the conditions for isolation treatment complete? Have public initiatives been mobilized to prevent their infection? If there are some flaws, how many days will it take to get them all in place? These are the questions we want to raise everywhere.

Our understanding of the new coronavirus is incomplete, the Spring Festival is approaching, the fight against the new pneumonia cannot be the whole of our attention, but it must occupy a large part of our attention, this year a peaceful Spring Festival should first be a healthy Spring Festival. Don`t take it lightly, don`t be lucky, control the massive spread of the epidemic, this should be our next foolproof goal.
