武漢疫情


 

今天是2020313 星期五 第二十八篇

天晴,有些燥熱。

新增確診新冠肺炎的人數已經下降到個位數,好消息。我相信這個統計數字是真實的。而讓我疑惑的是,為什麼我們依然覺得解除封閉的日子遙遙無期。當確診人數從千位數下降到個位數,就應該表明,我們已經具備了完全掌控疫情的能力。在這樣的情況下,依然不能提出解除封閉的正式的時間表,是不是說明,我們其實對這種病毒的性質、傳播特點以及控制疫情擴散的方法仍然缺乏了解,一路走來其實還是摸石頭過河。如果真是這樣,那就太令人沮喪了。

據傳,新加坡、韓國、日本等國在防疫上也已經取得成功。網上的一段話說的特別好:新加坡是用管理,韓國就純粹是用科學硬懟。一天檢測數量達到8萬人。這背後是驚人的生物衛生科學能力,直接用車道檢測,人不下車,快速檢測出結果。這個消息如果是真實的,或許就能從反面印證為什麼我們會而且也只能被封閉隔離的原因。也證明了,一些人抱怨這些國家不抄我們的作業的想法是多麼的傻逼,不可理喻。

顯然衛生防疫這類社會行為,最關鍵的是科學,而一個地方和社會能否獲得科學的能力,首先取決於人們對科學的態度。是尊重科學弘揚科學精神並在廣大民眾中取得共識,還是將科學當做當做標簽或抹布,將科學當做獲取利益的敲門磚,這兩種截然不同的態度決定了一個地方乃至國家的文明程度。我們隨地吐痰,我們圍著一張餐桌七八雙筷子湯勺在同一碗羹湯中攪來攪去,我們匍匐於權力之下,將科學當做膝下的墊子.......,我們離科學,離科學的管理相距甚遠而不自知。這當然是引發悲劇的主要原因。

我們坐在被封閉的房間,貪婪地眺望窗外日漸盎然的春景,卻並不知道我們所遭遇的一切都是拜我們自己的愚昧所致,我們未來的希望又在哪裏。我們沉溺於睡夢之中而不得覺醒,而覺醒必須擺脫夢靨,這好像又是一個死循環啊。

誰來打開窗子,讓寒冷的風吹醒我們。

整整一天,我們都在搬運食品,將肉,蔬菜,糧食從很遠的地方搬過來又搬出去。而孝感市又傳來小區物業乃至當地政府阻止其他即所謂非正規渠道的廉價蔬菜進入小區而抓走牽頭業主最終引發居民激憤的可悲事件。

我們希望明天會有好的消息。

 

FRIDAY, MAR. 13, 2020

The day was clear, and the air was dry.
The number of new confirmed cases has dropped to single digits.
Good news. I believe this statistic is accurate. What I wonder is why we
still feel that the lifting of the closure is so far away. When the number of
confirmed cases drops from the thousands to single digits, it should
indicate that we have full control of the outbreak. We still cannot come
up with a formal timetable for lifting the city closure means. We still lack
an understanding of the nature of the virus, its transmission
characteristics, and ways to control the spread of the pandemic, and we
are still experimenting with our ways through the process. If that is the
case, then it is very frustrating.
It is rumored that Singapore, Korea, and Japan have been successful
in preventing disease. An excellent quote on the Internet: "Singapore uses
management, while Korea uses purely scientific and hardcore methods. "
The number of tests per day reached 80,000. Behind the amazing
scientific capacity of bio-hygiene, which is directly tested in the lane
without people getting out of the car, the results are quickly detected.
This news, if true, may be evidence of the opposite of why we are and
can only be lockdown and isolated. It also proves how silly and
incomprehensible for some people to complain that these countries don't
copy our work.
Public health and pandemic prevention are science. The ability of a
region and a society to acquire science depends first and foremost on
people's attitude toward science. To promote science and achieve
consensus among the public, or to treat science as a label or rag (science
as a door knocker to gain benefits) these two very different attitudes
determine the level of society's civilization and even the country. We spit
on the ground in the street. We are around a table with seven or eight
pairs of chopsticks and spoons in the same bowl of soup stirring around.

We prostrate under the power, and science is just a knee pad for
kowtow...... We are far away from knowing science, from scientific
management, and do not know it. That is, of course, the main reason for
this tragedy.
We sit in our closed rooms, looking greedily out the window at the
growing spring scene, not knowing that what we are experiencing is due
to our ignorance and where our future hopes lie. We are drowning in our
dreams and cannot wake up, and we must wake up to get rid of them.
Who will open the window and let the cold wind wake us up?
We were moving in food, meat, and vegetables all day long, from far
away and out again. In Xiaogan City, there is a sad story about the
district's property and even the local government preventing other lower
priced vegetables from entering the building complex by the so-called
unusual channels. They even arrested the leading house owners, which
eventually triggered the residents' anger.
We hope to have good news tomorrow.
