Zhang Tiancha: Scientific literacy from the epidemic response

Zhang Tiancha

The crown disease epidemic has come to three years today, and there are too many griefs created by manufacturing, which also reflects the serious lack of scientific literacy. Various behaviors caused to bring huge disasters and trauma to China, including individual physical and mental, society levels at all levels of society, society, and society., Economy, culture, technology and civilization.However, scientific literacy is only a superficial phenomenon to a certain extent, and there are deeper reasons behind it. Following and analyzing the surface phenomenon may find the important source behind it.

Scientific Literation (Scientific Literation) has three components: understanding scientific knowledge; understanding of scientific research processes and methods; understanding the impact of science and technology on society and individuals.

The latest scientific literacy survey in 2020 shows that the proportion of Chinese citizens has a scientific quality of 10.56%, an increase of 4.36 percentage points from 6.20%in 2015.How much is the proportion of scientific literacy in the crowd to be suitable and favorable?There is no exact data at present, but the higher the ratio, the better, and the more conducive to social and economic development, the improvement of civilization, and the happiness of life.

According to the assessment of researchers, in 2015, more than 30 developed countries that entered the ranks of innovative countries, citizens have the scientific ratio, with a minimum of more than 10%.Because of this, 10%of people in the crowd have scientific literacy, which means that a country can enter the ranks of new developed countries.

Now, this ratio in China has reached 10.56%. Has it entered the ranks of new and developed countries?In fact, it can't be achieved at all.In the three years of crown disease alone, there are too many things, behaviors and remarks that violate science, and do not have basic scientific literacy, including everyone, including many professionals and scientists.Professionals and scientists may have a high level of understanding in their professional fields. However, entering other areas, such as health care and epidemic prevention, like other public, it is necessary to improve scientific literacy.

In the three years of crown disease, a basic fact and the whole people know that the lack of basic understanding of the virus is not only reflecting the lack of scientific literacy, but also the lack of basic scientific common sense.

Is it to eliminate the coronary virus or coexist with it? It is not only a matter of health literacy. It is also possible to formulate the issue of anti -epidemic routes and policies that meet the actual actual actual actual situation.Based on scientific evidence and scientific literacy formulation measures, people can allow people to live and work normally, but also be less affected by the virus; in order to achieve the win -win and harmony of all groups in society, but also people and biology, microorganisms and biology, microorganisms, and biology, microorganisms,Win -win and harmony of nature and ecology.

Unfortunately, some people mentioned during the crown disease that the relationship between people and viruses is "there is no self, you die,".These people believe that the history of human survival and reproduction is also a history of fighting against the virus in a certain sense. It is either humans eliminated viruses or humans were swallowed by viruses. There was never humans "coexisting with the virus for a long time."The old virus is eliminated, and the new virus may still appear, but the goal of human beings is always eliminating the virus, not coexisting.

This is the concept of not wearing the sky with the virus and to eliminate the virus, which has led to a clear -cutting policies, and resolutely oppose and criticize "group immunity."However, from the perspective of reality and history, on the contrary, the relationship between humans and microorganisms (viruses is one of them) is symbiosis and coexistence, not the relationship between you died, nor is the relationship between people eliminating the virus.

Among the microorganisms of the human body, there are 38 trillion viruses, and the number is 10 times that of bacteria. They are almost every corner of the human body.Most of these viruses are not sick. The human body is just a place where they are hunting for parasitic bacteria.However, there are some viruses that threaten people's health.Coronary virus is now added.

Research results show that the virus has long been coexisting with humans for a long time. It is part of the human body. People can only limit those microorganisms that are harmful to health and life, but they cannot destroy them.From the perspective of virus and human long history, people have not eliminated the virus, and even human beings are just a special case.

On December 9, 1979, at the World Health Organization Headquarters of Geneva, 19 members of the Global Destroy the Small Certification Commission announced in a conference room that the world ’s completely illness has suffered from suffering from countless people in addition to the 3000 years of smallpox.Note that the World Health Organization said that except for the disease of smallpox, it did not say that it was eliminated by smallpox virus.

Small ceilings are eradicated, there are three major elements: effective intervention of ceiling vaccines; can detect infection and epidemic signs in time, accurately predict the direction of the situation, and formulate intervention plans; smallpox virus does not exist in nature, there is no natural host and animal medium, only people, only peopleIt is its host.Because the effect of the vaccine blocked the storage of ceiling viruses in the human body, in addition, the ceiling virus does not deposit on other animals, which causes the smallpox to be eradicated and the ceiling virus disappears.

In fact, there is another disease that humans eradicate the disease. It is the animal's cattle plague. Because it is limited to the spread of the cattle in the same as smallpox, the spread of the cattle plague virus in the cattle group is equivalent to eliminating the elimination of the elimination of the cattle group, which is equivalent to eliminating it.it.

Because of granted that human beings can eliminate coronary viruses through physical barrier, there are countless extremes in the country to seal cities, seal districts, and streets, seal all public venues, and create countless terms, clear zero zero zero, clear zero zero zero, clear zero zero, clear zero zero, Dynamic clearing, clearing zero, silent management, etc., but they are essentially the same.

Under such management and behavior, the three -year -old crown disease resistance paid a heavy price, including the phenomenon that caused various schizophrenia and a fire to the magic. The rule of law and freedom were destroyed., The economic decline, the people's livelihood is hard ...

All this is due to the low and lack of scientific literacy, which is essentially the low and lack of scientific spirit and scientific decision -making.How to reflect on and learn from lessons, make full efforts and make up for the huge losses and far -reaching negative effects caused by the three years are the biggest challenges faced by the Chinese now and the future, none of them.
