How to correctly understand the epidemic situation?
Information disclosure is the best way to avoid panic. Information disclosure is not to create panic, but the best way to mobilize and alert the whole people. Relevant personnel should actively and truthfully report relevant information.
Relevant information about the epidemic should be obtained through official channels, without believing rumors, spreading rumors or panicking. After the outbreak of the epidemic, there are rumors about genetic weapons, smoking can kill viruses, fireworks can inhibit the spread of viruses, and so on.
Actively learn scientific epidemic prevention knowledge and strengthen protection awareness. Protecting yourself from infection is the greatest support for front-line medical staff and the greatest contribution to society.
The major epidemic cannot be eliminated by the efforts of the government and hospitals. It needs the cooperation of the most ordinary people in the whole society. Especially in the treatment of major epidemic, no plan is perfect, no measure is perfect, and many things can only be done with relatively good choices. It is impossible to take care of everyone in all aspects.
Epidemic prevention should not lead to regional discrimination. Most people in Wuhan chose to stay after knowing the news of the closure. It is necessary to take precautions against Wuhan, but we should not treat them as enemies.
The epidemic is also an opportunity for improvement. Through the epidemic, we can find many problems. For example, some local governments lack modern governance capacity, and many people lack basic security awareness. For example, this novel coronavirus, like SARS, AIDS, Ebola and other viruses, is from some kind of wild animals. People eat and kill wild animals indiscriminately, causing disasters... These need us to make up for and improve.
Of all things, hope is the most beautiful. There is no winter that can't pass, nor spring that can't come. We must firmly believe that the epidemic will soon pass, and spring will soon come.
