Then, for the future epidemic, Academician Zhong Nanshan expressed the following views on different occasions:
1. (COVID-19) may exist for a long time, but the large-scale spread of the virus can be controlled.
2. China will gradually open up in the process of dynamic liquidation.
2. How to understand Academician Zhong Nanshan's views on the future epidemic trend? 1. The struggle with COVID-19 is still a protracted war.
First of all, mankind missed the opportunity to defeat the COVID-19 epidemic.
If there is a good chance to defeat the COVID-19 epidemic, it should be the first year of the COVID-19 epidemic, but at that time, the countries led by the United States not only failed to actively fight the epidemic with the countries led by China, but adopted a passive policy of lying flat.
Second, COVID-19 adapts to human beings through constant changes.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, COVID-19 has been adapting to human beings through constant variation for three years. For example, although the toxicity of the virus has weakened, its spread and concealment have become stronger.
Third, COVID-19 is a zoonotic virus.
COVID-19 virus has been found in 29 kinds of animals, including Omicron mutant, which is also a zoonotic virus. Why does SARS "disappear"? I'm afraid this is what scientists need to study in depth.
2. Although COVID-19 may exist for a long time, mankind will eventually win the battle against the epidemic.
First of all, human beings need to establish a strong epidemic prevention barrier through COVID-19 vaccination.
COVID-19 vaccine can effectively prevent the invasion of COVID-19, but in reality, on the one hand, it is necessary to popularize the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine, on the other hand, it is necessary to develop more effective vaccines according to the characteristics of mutant strains.
Secondly, human beings need COVID-19 drugs to fight and reduce the harm of the virus.
COVID-19 vaccine is a preventive measure, and COVID-19 medicine is a therapeutic measure. With effective COVID-19 drugs, the serious illness rate and mortality rate of virus infection can be greatly reduced. Now, many COVID-19 drugs developed by China have entered the final experimental stage, and I believe they will come out in the near future.
Third, mankind needs to further expand its anti-epidemic advantages by means of science and technology.
Know yourself and yourself. As a new virus, COVID-19 is not well known by human beings. With the continuation of the anti-epidemic struggle, mankind will certainly know more about COVID-19, so as to seek more and more effective anti-epidemic measures.
Dr Zhang Wenhong also said something like this in his speech: The COVID-19 epidemic will not end in a short time, and we need time to overcome it.
We can think of it this way: although it takes a tortuous or even long process to fight the epidemic, mankind will eventually win the struggle; As the frontier of anti-epidemic, China will gradually open to the outside world under the epidemic prevention strategy of dynamic clearance. For these, we must have the belief of winning.
