Multi -country explosion epidemic restrictions on exports
Fear a new wave of masks
The new coronary virus epidemic has gradually been controlled in China, but the development of the international epidemic is becoming more worrying. The Italian epidemic in South Korea, Japan and Iran is serious, and the situation in the United States is equally worrying.There are only 160 official cases in the United States, but more and more people pay attention to the U.S. epidemic.If the mortality rate of new crown pneumonia is estimated, 11 people have died so far, which means that the actual number of infections may be far more than the official figure.A local research even believes that the new coronal virus may have spread for 6 weeks in the United States without being detected.So far, Vice President Pence is still talking about the low risk of national infection. Since this week, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will no longer announce the number of suspected case detection objects, which has caused concealment.Although the Center for Disease Control and Prevention claims that because the testing is being carried out independently in various states, the data of the Center for Disease Control may not accurately reflect the latest testing of the country.Essence
Europe and the United States have strong financial resources and advanced medical technology, as well as modern public health systems. The United States and Italy are one of the earliest countries to seal or fly to China. If these policies are really effective, the epidemic should not have to worry.The real problem is that some European and American countries take it lightly. They only look at the wall of China, but the neighbors are not prepared for local epidemic prevention.The US Department of Health said that there are about 42 million masks in the current national medical strategic material inventory. If the epidemic is popular, the US medical system will need 3.5 billion in the next year, which means that the existing strategic inventory is only enough to meet the needs of 1.2%.The US Department of Health said that in the next 18 months, it is planned to buy 500 million masks, but it is difficult to save near the fire. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has instructed this week that once the local epidemic has deteriorated, the medical care may be obtained from the FDA.) Certified industrial and building masks are replaced.
At the beginning of last month, the mainland epidemic was at its peak, and the supply of global masks was unprecedented. The scenes of buying masks and daily necessities in Hong Kong and other places caused many international discussions.One month later, the mainland and the global epidemic have disappeared. Recently, they have snapped up masks in Europe and the United States and Asia.International health experts are doubtful about the prevention of the community's daily masks.In order to ensure the supply of front -line medical masks, many countries have recently added the ranks of strict control of masks and exports. Germany, Russia, Czech and South Korea have ordered the ban on the output mask.It is also ordered all the protection masks of all inventory and new production across the country to distribute it to medical care and patients. The authorities also call on the public that they do not need to wear masks without disease.WHO estimates that even if it saves use, the global medical care needs at least 89 million masks to cope with the epidemic per month. If you want to meet the needs, epidemic prevention supplies such as masks need to increase production by 40 %.Essence
Coordinate mask production allocation
Requesting international cooperation in resistance
Global epidemic has deteriorated, and the panic of the masses is easy to spread. Although all parties are committed to increasing masks production, many countries are strictly prohibited from exporting. In addition, people from all over the world are scrambling to buy.In severe, the Hong Kong Government needs to pay close attention to the situation and plan early.The Hong Kong Government proposed to fund the production of masks, and many merchants are also willing to open a production line. However, it is not as easy to imagine that Zhang Luo's raw materials and production equipment are now as easy as expected. The production of local masks has not seen a significant increase in one day, and there must be no rice porridge.This epidemic is quite a long -term battle. The problem of thinking about using masks in the society must be considered to ensure that the frontline medical care needs to be taken care of.
The world's richest man, Gates, has actively participated in global public health in recent years, and its charitable fund is one of the four major gold owners of the WHO.Recently, Gates mentioned that COVID-19 may become a major plague in the world in a century, which reminiscents of Tens of tens of millions of global Spanish influenza in 1918.Of course, this is just the worst situation. Since the Chinese epidemic can be controlled, as long as the international community work together, it still has a strong chance of turning the tide.
In order to prevent the input of the epidemic, recent countries have taken severe inbound quarantine measures. Yesterday, Japan suspended to issue an entry visa to the Chinese and South Korean people. In disguise, Hong Kong and Macao visa -free entry arrangements have also been suspended.EssenceIt is necessary to strengthen the input of the input of immigration to prevent the input of the epidemic in the country, but it is too necessary to cause the communication between normal personnel and the interruption of normal personnel.Global cooperation resistance.The international community should coordinate immigration prevention policies through G20 and other platforms to avoid their own politics.The scale of this epidemic is by no means that any country can handle it alone. In terms of resistance research and development of vaccine drugs, the international community needs to strengthen the coordination of division of labor.Otherwise, the most needed person is inevitable.
