New Tune of Haida

After the mysterious pneumonia appeared in Wuhan, Hubei, friends in Singapore sent a message to remind me not to be careless.Seeing that I didn't think of it, my friend told me that Singapore had been waiting, and travelers who flew from Wuhan to Changyi Airport had to be tested in body temperature.
She also sent the news of the Hong Kong people's hoarding masks and asked me if Beijing would make a mask and not in short. It was suggested that I would go back to Singapore for two days to buy on vacation and purchase some brought back to Beijing.
In Wuhan last month, pneumonia patients who had unknown reasons one after another were reported on the Internet for a time.Although the official has ruled out Shas, the pathogen of pneumonia has not been found, and the number of patients is still increasing.
The unknown pneumonia also made Hong Kong, which was affected in Shatz, dare not take it lightly.The SAR government first raised the ride -up level to a serious level. Yesterday, the law was specially amended to incorporate the new type of infectious diseases into the statutory disease, so that the authorities had the power to isolate and quarantine patients involved in the case.
However, compared to the tension of the outside world, the treatment of the mainland is quite low -key.Except for the suspected patients in Wuhan and closing the seafood market involved, other cities in the mainland have not announced unknown causes of pneumonia.In terms of news release, in addition to the update of the Wuhan Health Commission from time to time, no media reports on this large scale.People living in the mainland are even more calm. In my WeChat circle of friends, there are almost no relevant discussions. Everyone's life seems to be the same.
How serious is the situation?Is there any official concealment?Is it excessive response from the outside world, or is the mainland too calm?
After Wuhan's mysterious pneumonia was exposed, many people's memories of Shas were the first time.In November 2002, a case of Shash appeared in Guangdong. Due to local officials covering the truth, China not only lost the opportunity to fight Shats, but also led to the plague raging the three places on both sides of the strait, and even spreading many other countries, causing the plague to cover the world.
The Shas incident made China a target of criticism, and it also became a profound setback in China after entering the new century.After that crisis, China improved the improvement of the disease prevention system and the improvement of public health crisis.With the lessons of the car, the official vigilance of the infectious disease epidemic has increased significantly, so that after the global H1N1 influenza in 2009, China has taken strictly isolation measures, and has been approved by the 70 Mexican citizens because of compulsory isolation in China.A diplomatic dispute between China and Mexico.
Another positive change brought to China is that the official began to realize that when a major public health crisis occurs, the right to public knowledge and information transparency is the importance of preventing social panic and further diffusion of crisis.The official has also established a more comprehensive press release system to promote more timely and transparent information disclosure.
Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, there is a painful lesson of Shas. At this time, the official in Wuhan's mysterious pneumonia appeared again, once again concealing the epidemic, and it was less likely to repeat Shats.In addition, China is about to usher in the large -scale population of the population before the Lunar New Year. It deliberately concealed a contagious epidemic, which will only induce a greater crisis. It is believed that the official will not know this.
Compared with the public opinion environment in 2003, it is not easy to completely block the news of the epidemic and conceal the truth today.The new crown virus involves ordinary patients. The family members and medical staff may be the source of information. Once the epidemic broke out, in the Internet era with fast information transmission and many channels of communication channels, even if the official titles are like a bottle, even the blocking information cannot be ensured.
In fact, from the perspective of the response speed of public events, the official has changed significantly compared with the Shats of the year.After the news of suspected Shas was circulating on the Internet on the 30th of last month, the Wuhan Health Commission issued an emergency notice on the same day, requiring all medical institutions to track the statistical treatment in a timely manner and report it in time as required.The department notified the epidemic situation the next day, and released an update development through Weibo Wuhan in the past few days.The official has not avoided taboo mysterious pneumonia. Li Gang, director of the local disease prevention and control center, pointed out the day before yesterday, with the development of related work, the number of unknown cases of pneumonia in Wuhan will increase.
The outside world is uneasy about mysterious pneumonia, adopting a highly cautious defense attitude, and even suspecting the official information released, which can be understood, after all, Shas's nightmare is still fresh.Although the World Health Organization reported on the 5th of this month, according to the information currently held, it is not recommended to implement any travel or trade restrictions on China, and Chinese officials have also ruled out Shasta's retransmit, but there are still many questions to answer MDash; MDASH; mysterious pneumonia; mysterious pneumonia;What is the pathogen?Can you completely exclude people?What is the risk of large -scale communication?Mysterious pneumonia has been exposed for more than a week. The truth of these problems is still anxiously waiting.
