Steering wheel
The European and American epidemic prevention system is healthy, rich in sanitary resources, and advanced medical technology. This time, it has become the hardest hit area. The cause is worthy of reflection.
When the epidemic outbreaks in China, most countries regard it as a popular cold with a slightly high mortality rate. It is called to call on the people not to panic, prevent measures, and have great loopholes.Due to lack of awareness of the epidemic, seriously underestimating the dangers of the virus and the ability of large -scale propagation, it missed the opportunity of defense.
When a community spread in the epidemic, many countries were hesitant, worried about social panic and paralysis of medical and health resources.Do not want to take excessive restrictions on restrictions, nor is it willing to increase testing, tracking monitoring, and strengthening the treatment ability. He is willing to put resources and energy on intensive patients.Britain advocates group immune practices and extremely irresponsible resistance to immunity. It is both irresponsible to its own citizens and irresponsible to the international community.
The epidemic is not controlled. What tests is only the government's decision and social and economic tolerance.At the beginning of the spread of the virus, the local government of the Chinese government failed to pay enough attention from the beginning. The results of Wuhan and Hubei became the hardest hit areas, and more than 3,000 people died.However, after a decisive and powerful city sealing measures, one and a half months, the epidemic was completely controlled.
Now more and more countries have announced an emergency state and adopted blockbustering measures. It can be seen that this is a trend and generally recognized response measures.
Due to the long period of vaccine development, it is difficult to expect to play a role in the spread of this wave of epidemic. Therefore, the current most important strategy is to strictly prevent and control, and take a space -free method to block the geographical and interpersonal transmission of the epidemic.
Whether it is the Chinese model, the Korean model, or the Singapore model, there is no cost in the anti -epidemic, which is closely protected and isolated from the source.Once there is a suspected or confirmed, the people who may be infected may be separated, so as to successfully block the spread of the epidemic.
In fact, powerful governance measures do not mean a strong big government, but an active government.Throughout the prevention and control network, in addition to Chinese governments at all levels, it depends on the spontaneous actions of village communities and community communities.They actively cooperate with governments at all levels to jointly weave a strict prevention and control network from various aspects such as epidemiological survey, material transport distribution, and knowledge popularization.
On the coronary virus with such strong toxicity, the organization mobilization at the social level is very important.This may cause a large area of panic and social disorder, and cause serious creation to economic development, but short -term sacrifice is worth it.It is a fatal blow to deal with weakness and weak control.
The national and social governance models are different, and the government's capabilities and systems are different. Therefore, there are different measures to respond to the spread of the epidemic.However, in the face of the rapid spread of the epidemic, the government has nothing to do, indecisive, and evades responsibility with the pretext of small government and government without the right to interfere with the freedom of citizens.
The government's primary responsibility is to protect the lives and health of citizens. No matter what kind of governance model, no matter what political system, the government's responsibilities cannot escape.
Nowadays, crown diseases are already popular in the world. At present, the urgent need is to work together to resist.As long as a country is slightly relaxed, it may lead to the efforts of other countries to put it into the east.
At a difficult time, we need to rely on the United Nations, the G20 (G20), international and regional organizations to actively play the role of consultation and coordination, and avoid each other as war, mutual attack, neighbor as the neighbors.Professional institutions such as the World Health Organization are in the critical moment, and it is not weakening and dismantling behind.Only by all parties can we get out of the haze as soon as possible.
