Haste is not enough? The outbreak of the new crown is more than a year, the global epidemic is now "temperature difference"

　　China News Service, April 9th, reported that the outbreak of the new crown epidemic has been more than a year, and vaccination has been carried out successively.

Many countries are still struggling with the virus. In some countries, the epidemic has even become more serious, forcing the government to implement blockade measures again.

In some countries, the epidemic curve has been flattened, and daily life has gradually returned to the right track.

How did this difference come about?

Some are happy and some are worried

Epidemics in various countries show "temperature difference"

　　April 7th is the first anniversary of Singapore’s new crown “blockade” measures. The country has now successfully flattened the epidemic curve and reduced community cases to a minimum. Work and life are gradually getting back on track.

　　In the past year, New Zealand has also succeeded in ensuring that the new crown epidemic is effectively contained.

Recently, the country also plans to resume travel across the Tasman Strait, and mutual exemption and isolation travel with Australia will take effect soon.

　　Israel, which has seen a daily increase of nearly 10,000 confirmed cases in January, has dropped to around 300 new cases every day in the past week.

A recent study in the United Kingdom also shows that since March, the rate of new crown virus infection in England has dropped by about 60%, and the rate of hospitalization and death of confirmed cases has also decreased.

　　However, some people are happy and some are worried.

　　In March, the epidemic in the Philippines heated up again, and the number of active cases jumped to the top of Southeast Asia within a month.

The number of new confirmed cases is increasing day by day, and the number of new cases in a single day on April 2 exceeded 15,000, a record high.

　　In India, the world's third most severely affected country, new confirmed cases are still high.

There were more than 120,000 new cases on the 8th, which is the second time since 2021 that there were more than 100,000 new cases in a single day.

　　The situation in Brazil, which has the second largest number of confirmed cases of new crowns in the world, is not optimistic. On the 8th, it set a new high in a single day of deaths in the country, reaching 4249 cases, which is close to the record of single-day deaths in the United States.

　　The United States is still the country with the most confirmed cases in the world.

In the past seven days, the average number of new confirmed cases in a single day was as high as 63,000, an increase of 2.3% from the average number of new confirmed cases in a single day in the previous week.

In addition, the mutant strain found in the United Kingdom "has become the most common mutated new coronavirus in the United States at present", and the number of infections continues to increase and gradually younger.

Where does the "temperature difference" come from?

Play steadily VS haste is not fast

　　How did the "temperature difference" of the epidemics in different countries come into being?

　　As of the 7th, Israel has vaccinated more than 60% of the population with at least one dose, and the proportion of the population who completed two doses is as high as 56%.

Beginning in February, Israel gradually unblocked it, allowing some schools and shops to reopen.

At the end of March, the country announced a complete unblocking.

Today, apart from continuing to wear masks and maintain social distancing, the lives of Israeli people are basically back to normal.

　　In the UK, nearly 32 million people received the first dose of the vaccine, and more than 6 million people completed the vaccination.

As more and more people in the UK are vaccinated, the infection rate has dropped by 2/3 since February, and the rate of hospitalization or death after infection has also declined, showing that the vaccine can help reduce severe illness and mortality.

　　In contrast to this, although India has also implemented a vaccination plan in late January, due to India’s large population and the issue of vaccination willingness, India’s current vaccination rate is reported to be still lower than that of many countries.

And as the epidemic worsened, local authorities have issued new blockade orders and other restrictive measures to curb the spread of the virus.

　　The B117 variant virus first discovered in the UK has now become the fastest-spreading virus strain in Europe.

Coupled with the premature relaxation of epidemic prevention measures in some countries, or insufficient implementation, the number of cases in many European countries has surged, and the epidemic in many countries, including France, has rebounded significantly, forcing many governments to re-take lockdown measures.

　　In Japan, which is about to host the Tokyo Olympics, the spread of the mutant new crown virus is intensifying.

According to the analysis, due to the slower-than-expected vaccination process in Japan, it has hardly helped curb the spread of the epidemic. Therefore, the government of this country has to continue to rely on local blockade measures to respond.

On April 5, six cities including Osaka, Japan launched a new round of restrictive measures.

　　Brazil is facing a shortage of vaccine supply. In addition, the collapse of the medical system and insufficient medical supplies have made it worse, and the epidemic is facing out of control.
