Watching this Godzilla in 2020 suddenly reminded me of the days of the new crown in Wuhan

Watching this Godzilla, I suddenly had the illusion that I had returned to Wuhan for the Spring Festival and suddenly faced the new crown epidemic.

If Godzilla is used as a metaphor to represent a natural phenomenon that is extremely destructive and has never been seen before, how similar it is to the sudden encounter with the new crown!

In the movie, when meeting Godzilla for the first time, the internal judgment of the government is confused. The same is true in Wuhan, which also issued an Anmin notice at the beginning, saying that there is no evidence that the new crown can be transmitted from person to person. After reading the news, my parents and I were very relieved to go to the East Lake to play together and eat at the Optics Valley Plaza. As a result, within a few days, the city government was slapped in the face, the new crown showed extremely contagious, and the hospital system was quickly run to the brink of collapse. In desperation, the country finally made the decision to seal the city. For a while, panic set in.

In the movie, after the destruction of the three districts of Tokyo, the government finally came to a painful conclusion. The international community also lends a helping hand. The United States provides intelligence, Germany provides computing power, and China provides chemical materials. At that time, when we were in Wuhan, our mood was extremely depressed at the beginning. We were bored at home every day, and every news was tragic. Until one day, news came from the WeChat group that a military plane had landed at Wuhan Tianhe Airport. We quickly turned on the TV, saw the news, and burst into tears instantly. The first wave of support came from the soldiers of the people's children. Since then, the government's governance measures have been steady and orderly. Fangcang shelter hospitals were gradually established. The street arranges the supermarket to deliver vegetables and meat every week, and arranges a person in charge for each block of the street, and establishes a WeChat area to communicate the latest situation at any time. Japan's "mountains and rivers are different places", South Korea's support, etc., especially the global Chinese, almost bought out the masks and disinfectants of various countries, and came to support. We have all started to isolate ourselves at home, and we are working together to suffocate this virus to death.

The only difference I think is that after we locked down the city, the Western media was sneering at first; but after the United States was finally infected, it began to frantically attack China. In this regard, the real world is much harsher.
