China News Service, Beijing, April 15 (Reporter Kan Feng) In the past two days, "dynamic clearing" is a high-frequency word that everyone often hears. Its connotation is to use the lowest social cost and Control the epidemic in the shortest time possible.
Since March, the Omicron epidemic has spread to 30 provinces, and the number of new infections in a single day in Shanghai has exceeded 20,000 for several consecutive days.
On the Internet, life difficulties in prevention and control, anxiety in isolation, and touching stories in anti-epidemic are flooding the public opinion field. Everyone has mixed feelings, and even began to question: Many countries are "lying down", why are we still gritting our teeth and insisting ?
So, "dynamic clearing", what are we insisting on?
Intuitive numbers may have more impact than big truths.
First, the "lying flat" in Europe and the United States is the helpless "abandoning treatment" that has failed in the fight against the epidemic.
In the United Kingdom, which announced "coexistence with the new crown" in February this year, about 1 in 13 people are currently diagnosed; in Germany, where masks are no longer required to enter shopping malls, the number of confirmed cases has exceeded a quarter of the total population, and more than 130,000 people died.
If we convince ourselves to "lie down" with such data, what is the significance of our insistence in the past two years?
Second, the consequences of China's "lying flat" are far more serious than you might think.
There is a highly praised article on Zhihu recently. A medical blogger who is in quarantine calculated according to the infection rate and mortality rate of Omikron abroad. If Omikron is allowed to become popular in China, he may face huge risks. cost.
Think about it, in a country with a population of 1.4 billion and a large aging population, once we give up resistance, how many family tragedies will we face?
How much unbearable pain?
Third, stop downplaying Omicron as "big flu."
Now we grit our teeth and fight the epidemic, precisely because Omikron is so powerful.
Taking New York as an example, it is reported that during the delta transmission period, the peak of new daily cases in New York was about 5,000, and the Omicron transmission exceeded 40,000.
New York has about 8 million people, while China has 18 cities with more than 10 million permanent residents and 91 cities with more than 5 million people.
If Shanghai, with abundant medical resources, can't defeat Omicron, what will happen to China with 1.4 billion people if it is replaced by second-, third-, and fourth-tier cities and vast rural areas?
In the past two years of fighting the epidemic, the reason why we can live in the safest environment in the world is due to the prevention and control strategy formulated based on "life first". normal work life for most people.
This is not easy to come by, and we must not give up all our efforts!
