In recent days, various regions have intensively adjusted the epidemic prevention and control policies according to the time and situation, and put forward measures such as "meeting the needs of the people for medical drugs", "speeding up the preparation of therapeutic drugs and medical resources", "strengthening the supply of life security, psychological counseling and other services", releasing a clear signal that China's epidemic prevention and control is facing new situations and new tasks. Winter is a season of high incidence of respiratory diseases. At present, the number of people infected in many places is still high and fluctuating, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control is still severe and complex. It is very necessary for all regions to continuously introduce optimized prevention and control policies, do a good job in medical resources and living security, strengthen the publicity of epidemic prevention related knowledge, popularize the common symptoms after COVID-19 infection, remind residents to be the first responsible person for personal health, and improve protection awareness. If there is preparedness, there is no danger. The epidemic prevention and control should not be unprepared at any time, especially during the transition period of policy optimization and adjustment. On November 30, Sun Chunlan, Vice Premier of the State Council, pointed out at the symposium held by the National Health Commission that we should "take small steps without stopping, constantly improve the measures of diagnosis, detection, admission, isolation, etc., strengthen the immunization of the whole population, especially the elderly, and accelerate the preparation of therapeutic drugs and medical resources". At the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held on December 6, it was emphasized that the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development should be better coordinated. This puts forward new requirements for us to cope with the new situation and tasks of epidemic prevention and control. It should be noted that these requirements are interrelated and interdependent. It is difficult to ensure the drug security and medical resources security for more than 1.4 billion people, as well as other preparations. The most ideal state is to adjust the policy in small steps and gradually strengthen the security, so that the barrier that keeps building up can withstand the impact of rounds of epidemic and reduce the uncertain impact of the epidemic as much as possible. In this process, residents and families should learn more about relevant knowledge and improve their awareness of protection, which is to make contributions to the barrier. You can properly store antipyretic and analgesic drugs, but there is no need to rush to buy or even stock up. Five boxes of antipyretic drugs will not bring greater sense of security than one box of antipyretic drugs. There is a medical term called "sustained release". Sustained release preparation refers to the preparation that can reduce the absorption rate of drugs into the body by delaying the release rate of drugs from the dosage form, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect and reduce gastrointestinal irritation. We optimized the epidemic prevention and control measures, emphasizing "taking small steps without stopping", which is also a kind of "mitigation" to some extent, to control the risk within a reasonable and controllable range, gradually release the pressure through "mitigation", establish our own immune barrier, and try our best to protect vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, so as to better coordinate the epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development.
