Rebirth of the Wild Age

In a short period of time, SARS has had a strong impact on China's economy. The turnover of China Science and Technology and Xifeng has declined significantly from April to May.

But in this trend, sales of Xifeng purified water, instant noodles and very cola have skyrocketed.

The reason why Xifeng purified water and instant noodles are popular is that citizens panic to grab shopping money. In some large cities, these items have been sold out in a short period of time. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in Beijing. Rice, flour, oil and salt, soy and vinegar... are all within the scope of panic buying, and the shelves in major shopping malls are empty. A reporter interviewed an old couple who bought more than 6,000 yuan in grain and oil. The other party replied: "We plan not to go out for a few months."

This situation can easily cause the supply and marketing system to collapse in a short period of time. The capital urgently transferred thousands of tons of grain, and many well-known daily necessities manufacturers cooperated fully. 1.45 million trade workers were on duty 24 hours a day, and finally resisted the biggest one on April 24. Panic buying. The reporter asked at the time: "If the people continue to snap up like this, how many days can the capital survive?" The official response: "Three days." The reporter asked, "What happened?" The official replied: "It only took 30 hours."

The more empty the goods on the shelves, the more panic the common people will be, and the more they will rush to buy them. And when they found that something was always on sale on the shelf, they immediately felt at ease, and the panic buying naturally subsided.

In some other countries, it is possible that the panic buying has already disrupted the social order before the SARS epidemic broke the society.

As for the sudden selling of Very Coke, it sounds particularly speechless. Just because the very cola formula contains licorice, white peony and other traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, many people have bought it as a medicine for some reason, and its popularity has almost caught up with mung bean.

As of early June, the epidemic situation in various places was clearly under control, and people gradually returned to normal lives, but the panic caused by the epidemic continued.

A short and touching heroic story emerged during the SARS epidemic. Countless medical workers can afford the title of white angel. They are really using their lives to interpret the two professions of doctors and nurses.

Of course, while propagating the heroic deeds, the officials also reflect very frankly. For example, when the official press conference was held, it was very frankly announced: “There are currently more than 32,000 registered doctors and more than 34,000 nurses in Beijing, but there are less than 3,000 doctors and nurses familiar with respiratory medicine. It only accounts for 4.3% of the total, and there is no hospital in Beijing that truly treats respiratory infectious diseases."

The general background of this situation is the struggle between mankind and infectious diseases for thousands of years, and gratifying achievements have been made today, which people call the "first health revolution." Medical scientists all over the world have devoted their main energy to the research of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other common diseases. As long as these diseases can be successfully contained, the "second health revolution" can be ushered in. The prevention and treatment of large-scale infectious diseases has been neglected all over the world.

Thus, Xiaotangshan Hospital was born.

The Beijing Construction Committee temporarily convened the six major groups for deployment. The six major groups received construction instructions at night, and arrived at the construction site with migrant workers at dawn. There was no budget, no contract, no time to negotiate wages, and even no architectural drawings at the beginning. Anyway, as soon as I arrived at the site, I started to do the preliminary work such as leveling the land.

The 4000 migrant worker brothers, let alone food, didn't even prepare drinking water, they worked for a whole day and night. When another 3,000 migrant workers came to support them, they lay directly on the weeds to rest. Later, 4,500 quilts were arbitrarily transferred from the top, and they were notified to pick them up. No one moved because the construction period was too tight-the ones who took the lead in the work and the ones who did the work were always working, and didn't even dare to sit in the back. In their original words: "You can sleep as soon as you sit down, but you don't have time to sleep."

There was a construction worker named Zhao Zhigang who finished his work at 3 in the morning and wanted to find a place to sleep with a quilt. It was still raining in the sky, and it was dark everywhere. He fell into the tunnel where the pipe was laid, and fell asleep in the tunnel. Had it not been discovered by the buried pipeline workers, Zhao Zhigang would have been buried alive by bulldozers.

In just seven days and seven nights, a modern hospital with nearly a thousand beds that meets the requirements for the treatment of respiratory infectious diseases rose up in the wilderness of Beijing. The SARS patients from all over Beijing were safely transferred, making it the best in the country. Respiratory infectious disease experts from here come together to tackle tough problems.

Together we will overcome difficulties together!

In June, the college entrance examination came ahead of schedule.

Why do you say in advance? Because the college entrance examination was in July before, it will be held in June starting from this year.

The candidates wailed, especially math. It seems that the national math papers have been leaked, and spare papers are temporarily used. Those who can score 90 points in the test are considered to have excellent results-Jiangsu Province, which is known as a strong province in the college entrance examination, has an average score of only 68 points in mathematics this year.

(Lao Wang remembered the head teacher of the high school. He just finished the third year of high school. How about "Chen X". Because "Chen X" is a student he brought out. It scared the candidates in that session. But the senior of Pharaoh told reporters: "I also failed in the college entrance examination. I only passed 137 in math, which can be said to be a big failure.")

During the summer vacation, Song Weiyang took his family to Changbai Mountain to escape the summer heat. There was no SARS epidemic there. By the way, he could also take Doudou to relax.

Doudou has not had an easy time for the past two months. She has to bring her thermometer to school every day. After taking her temperature at home, she has to ask her parents to sign, otherwise she will not even want to enter the school gate. Her mother, Lin Wanzi, was trapped in the capital and did not dare to walk around. She called every morning and evening, and the relationship between the mother and daughter became much more harmonious.

The SARS hasn't completely passed away, and the online dispute between Chinese and Western medicine has actually started.

Because in the middle and late stages of the fight against SARS, "integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine" was promoted vigorously, even the Chinese Academy of Sciences said: "Western medicine combined with'integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy' can effectively improve major clinical symptoms such as shortness of breath, dry cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue." And the TCM experts even wrote a paper, and concluded: "The duration of shortness of breath symptoms is 2 days less, the duration of dry cough symptoms is less than 2 days, and the duration of shortness of breath symptoms is less than 1 sky……"

It happened to be this thesis that caused the controversy. Song Weiyang is a compulsory major in statistics. He can see that there is a problem with the sampling of statistics. How could the "traditional Chinese medicine blacks" give up this opportunity?

In fact, due to the people's rush to buy Banlangen and mung beans ~ www.readwn.com ~ "Vinegar steaming" and other folk prescriptions were popular during the SARS period, which has aroused many people's dissatisfaction with Chinese medicine. In addition, the Ministry of Health praised the contribution of "Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" to the fight against SARS, so some people were filled with indignation, thinking that Chinese medicine was mixing credit for the whole process and robbing Western medicine in the limelight.

The problem is that the leaders are not stupid. From completely ignoring Chinese medicine at the beginning, to suddenly mobilizing a large number of top Chinese medicine experts for consultations, and especially recommending them to the World Health Organization, they must do so because they are effective!

This controversy will continue for many years. As a major hero in the fight against SARS, Academician Zhong has been used as a tool for pen warfare by "Chinese medicine black" and "Chinese medicine fans", and both sides are distorting the facts. Later, Academician Zhong said: "From SARS to avian influenza, I have gained a lot of inspiration from the therapeutic effects of Chinese medicine in the past ten years... But I don’t agree with the term “integrated Chinese and Western medicine” because both Chinese and Western medicine have their own characteristics. At present, the most important thing to do is to'advance both Chinese and Western medicine' and'complementary Chinese and Western medicine'."

"Traditional Chinese medicine black" immediately took the meaning out of context, saying that Academician Zhong denied the integration of Chinese and Western medicine and also denied Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is definitely useless.

The "Chinese medicine fans" also only read news headlines. Obviously, in the original words of Academician Zhong, they have affirmed the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine on SARS and avian flu, and even think that Chinese medicine and Western medicine should go hand in hand. However, they collectively turned a blind eye. Instead, they believed that Academician Zhong had denied Chinese medicine, and some people had personally attacked Academician Zhong on the Internet.

It can only be said that the reporter has a good rhythm, because the news headline they gave is: Academician Zhong opposes the integration of Chinese and Western medicine!

Song Weiyang looked at the fiercely fighting posts on the Internet, but felt that there were too many sand sculptures, and most of them ignored the facts. This is true for both black Chinese medicine practitioners and powder Chinese medicine practitioners. The former devalues ​​Chinese medicine for nothing, while the latter treats Chinese medicine as a cure for all diseases. Reading such posts will only waste time.
