The virus has invaded in January, why is the Zhengzhou epidemic still under control? Expert: There are 4 reasons behind
The recent epidemic situation in Zhengzhou has affected the hearts of people all over the country. Although the source of the epidemic in Zhengzhou has been identified, it has been a month since the epidemic broke out in early October, but the epidemic is still running at a high level!
This can't help but make people question the local epidemic prevention and control measures, and some netizens even made extreme remarks. Zhengzhou has announced the implementation of the city-wide static management and control measures of "not going out and not leaving Zhengzhou unless it is necessary" since October 17. Now that half a month has passed, the local people still cannot see the inflection point, so let's think in a different position. For a moment, the emotions of netizens are understandable, and the long-term blockade will inevitably make people anxious. So, what are the reasons behind the Zhengzhou epidemic still not under control?
The epidemic prevention and control in Zhengzhou has not been controlled so far. The reason may be mainly related to the following 4 points
1. Omicron is highly contagious and difficult to prevent and control
The COVID-19 strain currently circulating in Henan Province is a new variant strain of Omicron. I believe everyone has known about the characteristics of this strain recently. It not only spreads quickly, but also has strong concealment and contagiousness. Strong immune evasion ability, short incubation period and intergenerational distance, which add a lot of difficulty to epidemic prevention and control.
2. Insufficient investigation
Since the outbreak of the epidemic on October 4, Zhengzhou City has begun to carry out large-scale nucleic acid testing, epidemiological investigation and investigation, but it took nearly a month to find the source. We all know that the sooner the source of the epidemic is identified and controlled, the smaller the spread of the epidemic will be. Obviously, Zhengzhou has not invested enough in the investigation and cannot find the source within a week to ten days, and large-scale spread is unavoidable. .
3. Some areas are densely populated
Zhengzhou is a labor-intensive city, such as a port area and a large factory in Zhengzhou. Unfortunately, epidemics have also occurred in these places, but the prevention and control of epidemics in these places is extremely difficult, because of the high population density inside, Omicron is like a duck to water here, and it spreads very quickly.
4. Failure to accurately prevent and control the epidemic
On November 4th, the State Council’s joint prevention and control conference announced that Zhengzhou would shut down the city silently in lieu of control. This is believed to be the most dissatisfied local people. The reason may be that, on the one hand, the local government has not made up its mind in implementing the contradiction between epidemic prevention and control and economic development, resulting in relatively unresolute work in epidemic prevention.
In addition, the release of external information is not timely, comprehensive, open and transparent, so that some citizens in the closed area do not know enough about the latest policies. Many information comes from unofficial releases and cannot be confirmed. Therefore, the unknown creates fear, which in turn leads to angry emotions. In addition, if precise prevention and control were not achieved, the entire city would be silent when the epidemic occurred. This kind of random and one-size-fits-all control has made the people annoyed and was notified by the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council today.
Everyone has experienced the epidemic in the past 3 years, and they are already exhausted physically and mentally. We have been fighting against the COVID-19 virus for 3 years. We thought that we had already experienced enough experience and we could deal with it calmly when faced with the epidemic again, but it still appeared such a situation. Of course, there are objective factors that Omicron is constantly mutating, but we need to pay attention to scientific and accurate epidemic prevention.
After Zhengzhou has experienced this wave of epidemics, I believe that it will face the invasion of the COVID-19 virus more calmly. No winter is insurmountable, and no spring will be late. I believe that the epidemic in Zhengzhou will pass as soon as possible!
