Some countries announced that "coexisting with the virus". China will continue to adhere to strict epidemic prevention and control measures "Zero tolerance" highlights the advantages of the people's position and system Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, the living material packages supporting Heihe City have arrived one after another, and are distributed to residents' homes in batches and households by the community to ensure adequate supply of residents. The picture shows that on November 7, in a material transfer area in Heihe City, staff packed living materials and sent them to the community. Photographed by Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Song China and Australia choose China novel coronavirus pneumonia before they lie flat. Some foreign media are turning their eyes to China: "is China considering abandoning COVID-19's" zero tolerance "policy? On November 6, Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the disease control bureau of the National Health Commission, said that at present, the global epidemic situation, especially in China's surrounding countries, has experienced repeated twists and turns, and the number of newly confirmed cases remains high. The epidemic prevention and control situation is complex and severe this winter and next spring. We will continue to adhere to strict epidemic prevention and control measures and build a solid barrier of "external defense input and internal defense rebound", Consolidate hard won achievements in prevention and control. Epidemic prevention policy is not immutable, but China will never choose to bet on the safety of people's lives in the face of short-term interests. With the release of various economic data, facts have also proved that the scientific and accurate zeroing policy not only costs less, but also brings "zeroing dividends" to help economic development. Adopting the "zero tolerance" policy is to maximize the health benefits of the people at a lower cost "I know that China's' zero tolerance 'policy has effectively curbed the spread of the epidemic, but it will not only inconvenience the flow of people, but also restrict economic development to some extent. Under what standards and conditions will China consider abandoning or stopping the zero tolerance policy?" Novel coronavirus pneumonia reporters' questions were similar to some overseas media commentators: "insisting on the new crown pneumonia epidemic situation is too high, and the strict control will affect the economic development." For this view, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, has previously responded: "China adopts a sustained policy of zero infection and zero transmission, which seems to have a lot of investment in the early stage, but compared with the policy of" disease first and treatment later "in some countries, the cost is actually lower." Why did academician Zhong Nanshan say that? Which is more cost-effective, zero clearing or "lying flat"? We need to make an account. Look at health costs first. According to the real-time statistics of worldometer, as of 6:30 on November 7, Beijing time, there were more than 440000 new confirmed cases and more than 7000 new deaths in a single day in the world; Over 250 million cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia were diagnosed, and more than 5 million 50 thousand cases died. The mortality rate was over 2%. Specific to countries, the United States is the country with the largest number of confirmed and dead cases and new confirmed and dead cases. So far, there are more than 47 million confirmed cases and more than 770000 deaths. In July this year, Britain insisted on canceling epidemic prevention measures despite the joint opposition of more than 1400 experts around the world. However, on November 3 alone, there were more than 40000 new cases and 217 deaths in the UK. Some experts estimate that the epidemic in Britain is the highest infection level since July 2020. Since August, Singapore has changed the clearing strategy of the new crown and announced that it will "coexist with the new crown". Within a month, the number of confirmed cases in Singapore has exceeded the previous total, and the number of deaths has soared several times. At present, the number of newly confirmed cases in Singapore remains high. Novel coronavirus pneumonia patients in Wuhan were cleared in China in April 26, 2020. On May 22, no new confirmed cases were reported in mainland China for the first time. Since then, sporadic outbreaks have occurred many times in China, but few deaths. "This means that in the past 18 months, China's new crown case fatality rate was 0.016%, Singapore (0.2%) was 12 times higher than this data, and Australia was 62 times higher than this data." on November 6, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that such a low mortality highlighted the benefits of China's implementation of the world's most stringent epidemic prevention policy. Novel coronavirus pneumonia, Professor Jiang Qingwu of Fudan University School of public health, told reporters that from the perspective of concrete practice and effect, the policy of "zero tolerance" enables us to use the low cost that we can afford to bring people's health and the low mortality of new crown pneumonia. "This is our greatest pursuit. Health is the greatest benefit." The "zero tolerance" policy has greatly reduced the input cost of handling new outbreaks. China's safe clearing environment is attracting global traders and enjoying huge trade dividends Will adhering to the policy of clearing and epidemic prevention hinder economic development, as some foreign media say? "Why did China clear it once and again? Because China has the conditions to clear it, because it has great benefits and can obtain rich dividends to promote social stability and industrial development." Professor Zeng Guang, a famous epidemiology and public health expert, pointed out in a recent media interview that China is still in the period of clearing dividends. In the view of some people, the factory shutdown and comprehensive nucleic acid treatment during the sporadic spread of the epidemic is a waste, because "a lot of money was spent, things were delayed, and several cases were not found in the end". Zeng Guang pointed out that accounts can not be counted only on one side. For example, last year, nearly 10 million people in Wuhan spent about 900 million yuan on nucleic acid detection, which is equivalent to the GDP of Wuhan in five or six hours in 2020. Such "clearing" means that the people of Wuhan don't have to be isolated when they go to other places, which means that a city can really operate, which is great for the promotion of the local and even the national economy. In Jiang Qingwu's view, the "zero tolerance" policy helps to control the number of infected people and greatly reduce the disposal investment cost of each new epidemic. For example, the costs of nucleic acid detection in a certain range and local shutdown are predictable and measurable. However, if the control is liberalized and the affected population and scope are infinitely expanded, it will be irresponsible not only for China but also for the global control of the epidemic, and the indirect cost of remedial investment is huge. "Compared with factories in some countries that have been shut down for a long time due to the epidemic, in a large manufacturing country like ours, if similar phenomena occur in a large area, the cost will be immeasurable. Therefore, adhering to the 'zero tolerance' policy and controlling the source of infection is also the best solution from an economic point of view." Jiang Qingwu told reporters. In some countries with "disease before treatment", the initial cost is indeed very low. Take the United States as an example. According to the regulations of the CDC, patients need to make an appointment for a new crown test according to their symptoms. If they are positive, they need to be isolated at home for 14 days or until they are asymptomatic. After 5 to 7 days after the isolation period, they can continue to return to work after the test is negative again. However, "self isolation" increases the exposure risk of family members and even community transmission, and the later cost increases significantly. Once the prevention and control in the early stage of the epidemic is missed, the government will have to invest a lot of resources in treating patients. The large-scale outbreak of the epidemic will also lead to long-term serious damage to the real industry. The consequences of laissez faire are emerging. Recently, the supply chain crisis in the United States has intensified, with cargo ships stranded, containers piled up in ports and supermarket shelves empty... This supply chain crisis has something to do with the epidemic in the United States, which shows no signs of improvement. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the US government has not considered strictly fighting the epidemic. Instead, it has used uncontrolled monetary and fiscal stimulus measures such as "printing money" and "issuing cash", making the already bad situation worse. US official data show that in September, the US consumer price index rose by 5.4% year-on-year, and gasoline prices rose by more than 42% year-on-year. In contrast, in 2020, China's GDP exceeded 100 trillion yuan, becoming the only major economy to report positive economic growth in 2020. The Wall Street Journal commented that China quickly controlled the domestic epidemic, which not only promoted the relatively rapid rebound of the domestic economy, but also enhanced China's attraction. Foreign companies turned to invest more money in China and regarded China as the production base and important growth market of their products. Data show that in the first half of 2021, the total value of China's foreign trade import and export reached 18.07 trillion yuan, an increase of 27.1% over the same period last year, including 9.85 trillion yuan, an increase of 28.1%; Imports and exports with ASEAN, the largest trading partner, increased by 38%. "This is inseparable from the zero clearing environment brought about by China's adherence to strict anti epidemic. Because of security, China is attracting traders all over the world and enjoying huge trade dividends," Jiang Qingwu said. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, China's epidemic capacity has been greatly improved, and its prevention and control methods are more scientific and precise, taking into account speed, intensity and temperature. It is worth noting that today, with the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, China's epidemic prevention and treatment is becoming more and more accurate and scientific, taking into account speed, strength and temperature. Recently, Shanghai Disneyland and Disney town have been highly praised by many parties for their timely and effective emergency response to epidemic risk. In just a few hours, more than 30000 people completed nucleic acid testing, and the results were negative. Some commentators believe that the standardization of epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai Disneyland is the key to success. "Since the outbreak of COVID-19, our epidemic capacity has been improved significantly." Jiang Qingwu pointed out that the national Wei Jian Committee issued a number of documents, such as New Coronavirus pneumonia prevention and control program, and revised it according to the new situation, making professional and detailed guidance for epidemic prevention and control. "New Coronavirus pneumonia prevention and control program (Eighth Edition)" specifically dealt with the control of infectious diseases, control and transfer of traceability, identification and management of close contacts, nucleic acid detection, transportation, isolation management and community (Village). There are ten requirements, including control, disinfection, mental health services and epidemic information release. Each procedure also has some detailed guidelines, such as the link of infection source control, which specifically defines the normative requirements for the disposal of confirmed cases, suspected cases and asymptomatic infections. "Jiang Qingwu introduced that China has a perfect and reliable epidemic prevention plan, Ensure that the disposal of each epidemic situation is scientific, standardized and stable. Recently, the novel coronavirus pneumonia control headquarters of Alxa League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region said that the risk of spreading and spillover in Ejinaqi has been effectively controlled and the epidemic prevention and control has entered the stage of tackling the crisis from the community prevention and control stage. How can Ejina Banner, which has more than 100 confirmed cases, nearly 10000 stranded tourists and a lack of medical resources, quickly curb community transmission in about 10 days? Stabilizing the overall situation of prevention and control is inseparable from scientific decision-making, accurate policy implementation and decisive action. Feng Zijian, an expert of the Inner Mongolia working group of the comprehensive group of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council and Secretary General of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, introduced that the flow investigators carried out a hierarchical and progressive investigation mode in Ejina Banner, trying to complete all the investigations of close contact, secondary close contact and key groups and places that may be exposed as soon as possible. After the epidemic prevention and control entered the community control stage, there was no "one size fits all" requirement for residents to stay at home. Instead, accurate prevention and control was carried out on the basis of fully assessing the risk level of residential areas. The transfer of stranded passengers in Ejina Banner was also carried out in an orderly manner. In order to ensure the safe return of nearly 10000 stranded tourists, the local government has formulated plans according to the classification of tourist trains, individual trains, tourist charter cars and self driving tourists to accurately connect each tourist.
