With panic and confusion, we face the "new crown"

After watching the film, I feel the same way. It has been more than a month since the "new crown epidemic" we are experiencing. To sum up, there are two psychological factors that are more remarkable.

The first is the panic about the virus itself, which mainly comes from ignorance of the virus.

①What is the source of the poison?

②What is the intermediate host?

If you don't know these two problems, you don't know where they come from, whether they will come again in the future, and how to prevent them from happening.

③ How powerful is it? When does the inflection point occur?

Through several days of data, we roughly understand its infectiousness (RO≈2.2), case fatality rate (about 2%), and transmission routes.

④ There is no vaccine and no specific medicine. The antiviral plasma (serum?) of the recovered people should be a breakthrough.

Several experimental drugs launched now give us hope, and a vaccine may have to wait for a while.

Everyone understands that we didn't know anything about the virus, because it came too suddenly and we were caught off guard. Everyone is also ready to overcome the difficulties together. After all, we have experienced SARS together.

The second psychology is the confusion about certain things, such as the dereliction of duty in some departments, which keeps appearing these days.

The virus is undoubtedly a natural disaster, then these man-made problems are man-made disasters, which could have been avoided, especially when life is related.

Who has no fault? Over and over, it's great to be good. In the face of disaster, we can only move forward hand in hand and overcome the epidemic if we stick to our original intention and deal with it calmly!

I hope there will be more real heroes like Dr. Zhang Jixian, real "angels", to pay tribute to Dr. Zhang!
