The question of the government and the people caused by a public health event

Recently, I concentrated on watching a few Korean disaster films. There are quite a lot of Korean disaster films. For example, there are "Deep Sea Battle" and "Monster of the Han River" for fighting monsters, and "Skyscraper" for man-made disasters. I feel that those three countries facing the sea have a strong sense of crisis. There is nowhere to retreat, nowhere to hide, and North Korea is next to them, which is harder to fight than blame...
I think the deeper fear comes from Memories of the dictatorship under the rule of man during the military government. The same disease themes, "Iron Nematode" and "Deadly Influenza", almost have duels between the humanitarian camp and the bureaucratic camp, but the former's government is people-oriented, while the latter's struggle is extremely intense.
After reading "Deadly Influenza", the deepest feeling is that a large-scale infectious disease crisis may really break out. This is a crisis that any country may encounter. In this crisis, what kind of response does the people need? government? How should the government act? is a deep-seated question.
The plot summary is a bunch of stowaways from Southeast Asia with the flu virus on their bodies. When they arrived in South Korea, they were almost dead. There was only one survivor left. The guy escaped and spread the virus everywhere. This flu is really ferocious, it spreads very fast, coughing, high fever and vomiting blood, and the death is extremely terrifying. The government then quarantined the area, an inhumane isolation that eventually led to resistance. The daughter of the female doctor was infected with the disease and finally obtained the antibody, which can save everyone, so the female doctor and the uncle of the rescue team played by Zhang He joined forces to stage a rescue scene.
At the beginning, I was worried to death. Although I didn't know whether the flu was swine flu or monkey flu in the end, but a source of infection can cause a large number of deaths and injuries in a prefecture-level city of 230,000 people, I really Dropped! The original epidemic area is not long dead. The Korean government is really worrying about people. I have experienced SARS in such a big country. It is not better than this. I have unfortunately been infected with influenza A, but it has never been like this. What are you doing?

What kind of government do people need to save
in the face of disaster? How should the government act? This is a mutually reinforcing question.
In fact, as long as it is a disaster, there will be death, injury, and regret. There is no best model for disaster relief.
In this film, the South Korean government, the humanitarian camp represented by the president, and the prime minister, parliamentarians represented by bureaucrats or dictatorships, and the American representatives representing foreign powers are fighting. In fact, it does not fail to reproduce the common problems in Asian politics.
But I basically don't believe that Americans would do such a thing. I believe in the interests of the people all over the world, but I don't believe in blocking news and sending bombers to fill the place. Otherwise, Syria and Russia would have been earlier. Just when the United Nations began to issue a resolution to impose military sanctions on the United States for bombing civilians... Most of this episode has something to do with South Korea and Japan's civil opposition to the overseas bases of the United States. Otherwise, the Prime Minister and the President would have fought so hard that they immediately formed a group in the face of the bombers, No.
excuse sir!
The communication and network were blocked for the first time. People outside did not know what was going on inside, and all they could see were the pictures they wanted you to see. The bureaucratic or dictatorial argument is to avoid causing panic, maintain social stability, and reduce the difficulty of rescue. To put it bluntly, isn't Nima afraid that public grievances will shake the Korean government's rule, and that officials will be criticized for it? This standardized process for dealing with problems is really chilling to think about!
In the quarantine area, full of soldiers with guns and live ammunition, the living environment is extremely poor. Because there is no cure, the infected people cannot be treated and can only wait to die in grief, and some are even sent to large-scale hospitals before they die. Incinerate -- they're all going to die anyway.
Occasionally, the picture of "Cassandra Bridge" flashes in my mind, soldiers weld the carriages infected with plague to death, and send them to blow up on a bridge that cannot bear the load, in order to prevent most people from being infected? Isn't this a Nazi concentration camp?
A minority of people are not the people? The president is trying to talk about ethics. However, the Prime Minister's ethic is -- it's a necessary sacrifice for the majority of Koreans, and for the rest of the world.
A small number of people also have the right to survive, just like the Jackson family in "2012", they have no rights, no money, and are not professional and technical talents, but they just want to find a way to survive for themselves. The president can choose to die with the people, but they Just to live, this is a natural human right!
Not to mention that the majority of people have no right to decide the right of survival for the minority, but is the choice of the majority real? The Prime Minister throws out a gorgeous poll, 96% of people support the lockdown. Do 96% of people have the right to know? Do they know what the people inside are going through? If you knew it might still choose to do so, but if not?
Knowing whether your living environment is safe is also a natural human right!

In fact, what disaster needs is salvation.
You are here, you never give up, that is the greatest psychological salvation. Why did these blocked victims choose violence? Because the truth makes them desperate. As shown in the film, the revolution is nothing more than a small part of the careerists who harassed the majority of the masses who don't know the truth. No matter what the intentions of the careerists are, people get hope from them, and this hope is something you didn't give them. of.
Isn't this the historical lesson that the two world wars taught us? you're so dumb! Go home and read a book and then come out to be an official!
In this kind of public health incident, the first thing is to admit that something happened, there is this epidemic spreading, what is going on with this disease, how to prevent it, and how to treat it. Only in this way can people protect themselves, and they will not panic if they know what's going on. The common people are not doctors, and people who are not doctors will be nervous when they get sick. Can you not panic if you don't tell them? Second, quarantine can’t drive people out of their homes, so they all gather together in concentration camps for unified accommodation, right? There are patients in this residential area, so this residential area is isolated, can't it? Can! People are staying at home, and daily necessities and food are guaranteed, so that the scope of transmission can be controlled in smaller units. Sick and not sick feces, urine and farts are easy to spread on a large scale! People who are not sick still have the natural right not to get sick! Third, people who are already sick get treatment, and even if you can save your life, you will also be treated. Isn’t it all the treatments you get in the process of treatment? You leave people there waiting to die, and you deserve to be bombed by fighter jets, right? ? ?
Hope is the greatest salvation.

In
every country where there is a threat of war, the soldiers are fierce, the reason is that once a war breaks out, the soldiers are likely to die.
South Korean soldiers have always been fierce, with a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. This is also related to the spirit of the nation. The Koryo nation is known for its tenacity and hard work. You can tell by watching football. This is more related to the social structure. Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan and China, have some systems of elders, which is different from the system of superiors and subordinates in the US military. They are both soldiers. If you are one year older than you, you must Respect, in fact, is the basis for the military of these countries to maintain military ethics, and there is no way to blame.
Two soldiers were ordered to perform a mission in the quarantine area. Mingxun accidentally dropped his mask during the mission and fell into a cloud of patient's blood. He quarreled with his comrade, and took off his mask to tell him that he had been infected. The comrade obviously knew the fate of being quarantined after being infected, so he asked him to wear a mask and wanted him to live. At this moment, the comrade found that his mother was also among them.
The psychological defense line collapsed in an instant. In order to protect his mother, he was beaten by others. The mother could only cry helplessly, don't beat my son. Mingxun picked up the gun to fight back, and the other comrades appeared at this time to suppress them.
A minute ago, he was a cruel oppressor, and a minute later, he faced his mother, finally faced the cruel truth, launched a resistance, but became a member of the oppressed.
The comrade finally told the truth to the people - if there is no treatment, they can only wait for death. The smoke in the sky is caused by the burning of the corpse. In the anger of the people, the comrades raised their guns. Mingxun knew that he had been infected and stood in front of him. Later, the comrade was shot to death in order to save his mother.
From beginning to end, this comrade has no name, only his mother calls him "son".
He was killed by his own comrades who killed the son of the country.

The army, the state machine, is bound to obey orders.
Soldiers are faced with things that are not human in the first place. In war, they know that they may die, but they still have no intention of turning back, and they have to face the mass death of their compatriots. These attributes are inherently inhuman. Humans are instantly inhumane. The cruelty of wars and disasters is inherently inhumane and subordinate to the people in them. Therefore, it seems a little untenable to constantly evaluate soldiers as humanistic and inhumane.
But I always believe in human nature. I always believe that a soldier who shoots a little girl cannot protect other people. I always believe that soldiers cannot point guns at civilians. This kind of behavior will never stand the test of history.
What are civilians? Unarmed, or unequal in strength. How do people who have modern weapons in their hands and have received modern military training, and people who are unarmed or some hardcore in bottles and bottles? To do it is to kill.
In the film, the commander points the soldier at the gun and asks him to shoot the doctor. He opened. The state machine received a unified order and was instilled with the same concept, which these South Korean soldiers, they may have accepted at first, and thought it was just - for the lives of most people. After facing the truth, one person still insists that this is an inevitable sacrifice for most people, and strictly implements it. Some people may be shaken but still deceive themselves.

In fact, nothing shocks a soldier more than shooting at a fellow soldier.
How can you say that you have no clothes, and you share the same robe with your son.
The friendship in arms is extraordinary. This person is like you. We have shed blood, sweat, and tears together. We have experienced all trials and growth together, and we have experienced pain together. No one is more intimate than those who have suffered together. .
In addition, a comrade-in-arms is the person who, in a war, when life and death are at stake, will put his life in the hands of the opponent.

The death of this son is a national grief.
A person who defends the country can't even protect his own mother, what else does he have but a life?
A country that cannot even protect the mothers of its children and soldiers, and let the sons of the country be buried in their own mistakes and in their own hands. Apart from sorrow, what is left of this country?

I went to Zhang He for this film of a female man
. Actually, I hate the endless smoking of men in Korean dramas. It is such a waste of time. What I have to say is that Zhang He looks so handsome when he smokes.
He is still sloppy and better-looking, decadent, useless, and melancholy. This time he played a sunny uncle, but in the end he was still sloppy, and he got his wish. Ha ha
Most of the people who save everyone from disasters are not perfect and have all kinds of small problems, such as a female doctor who is selfish and indifferent. The uncle wanted to go to the concentration camp for her daughter, and she might be infected, but she didn't say anything. She knew that the uncle's help was kind, but she never thanked him.
She is such an independent and strong female man, a single mother who was abandoned by her husband.
She had a mean and disgusting female colleague. In order to protect the serum, she was injured. The last words on her deathbed were: protect the serum. Because that can save the lives of many people, people are good people, definitely a good doctor.
The female doctor took the serum with antibodies as a threat, and learned that her daughter was sent to the quarantine area. No matter how angry she was, she just put it back, because it could save everyone's life.
Not to mention Zhang He, oh ho, a man who devotes his heart to everyone, a man who would rather stay and possibly get infected, but is absolutely forced to save people. Agassi, Sarang hehe~~~
It's just that the female man is too fierce, K2 shoots at mid-range, and then it seems that he forgot that he was shot. It's okay, no matter how great a mother's love is, it's a gunshot wound, my friend . Gunshot wounds are dangerous no matter where they are shot, okay? The hospital may not be able to cure it, right? It hurts, okay? Whoa whoa whoa whoa bleeds to death, okay?
Well, the girl and Agassi will go to see the children together, I believe they will be together.
After experiencing such a big test of life and death, I am still not together, I am sorry for the motherland, I am sorry for the people, I am sorry for the teachers who cultivated you and the education of your parents...
