1, for fear of affecting people's holiday mood.
Family banquet is a traditional activity in Wuhan. Every time the Chinese New Year approaches, there will be such large-scale activities. To put it bluntly, a family dinner means that everyone gets together, and each family takes out a few dishes for everyone to enjoy. This kind of activity is very conducive to the spread of diseases, which is also the most puzzling place for people. In fact, the family dinner is held normally, mainly because the mayor should consider the mood of the people. The family dinner is held in the Lunar New Year, and when the New Year begins, it is equivalent to officially entering the New Year. If the family dinner is cancelled, people's mood will also be affected, and even panic will occur.
At that time, the epidemic was not too serious.
From now on, the family dinner is absolutely wrong and should have been cancelled at that time. But judging from the date of the family dinner, people didn't realize the seriousness of the epidemic at that time, and they didn't expect it to spread from person to person. Everyone thinks that the epidemic, like the common flu, will naturally end in a few days, and there is no real understanding of the epidemic. Because of ignorance of the disease, people are not afraid, and family dinners can be held as scheduled. If the epidemic had been serious, the family dinner would have been cancelled.
The family dinner was not hosted by the mayor of Wuhan.
Maybe some people don't know much about family dinner. Family dinner is a spontaneous activity of the masses, and many people voluntarily participate. Besides family dinners, people usually hold other activities. When the epidemic broke out, Wuhan also entered a state of emergency and many activities were cancelled. What we have to do now is not to investigate the responsibility, but to try our best to drive away the disease and help the infected.
