How about traveling to Wuhan during the Spring Festival? Is it safe?

Wuhan is a unique city full of charm and passion. It retains a large number of ancient ruins, scenic spots and many distinctive natural landscapes. It is a very strong tourist city, so Wuhan during the 2008 Spring Festival will definitely be impressive. How about traveling to Wuhan?

Is it safe to travel to Wuhan during the Spring Festival?

It is relatively safe. Everyone needs to take protective measures, wear a mask when going out, pay attention to personal hygiene, and try not to go to crowded places. But I still recommend not to travel to Wuhan in this short period of time.

Wuhan is the hardest during this Spring Festival!

There is a passage that says: I don’t want to visit during the Spring Festival. How do I say no gracefully?

The answer is: I just came back from Wuhan

Frankly speaking, when chatting with friends before the holiday, no one cared about the pneumonia in Wuhan. After all, we have learned painful lessons; after all, we have seen disturbing data; after all, cases have been found in Japan, Thailand, China, Hong Kong and other places. How can China be limited to Wuhan?

As we all know, Wuhan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, with a population of more than 10 million. The large number of people moving during the Spring Festival is indeed not a good thing for the epidemic.

January 19, 2008, I believe this is a turning point. The situation reported by the National Health Commission is not optimistic, but it is not a bad thing.

The content of this authoritative release is roughly as follows:

1. After the outbreak of pneumonia of unknown origin in Wuhan, the National Health Commission immediately dispatched a national working group and expert team to Wuhan.

2. National epidemic prevention and control work has been fully deployed. A "daily reporting, zero reporting" system has been established across the country.

3. Distribute new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kits, require all localities to strengthen testing, make every effort to treat patients, and promptly release confirmed cases and epidemic prevention and control information.

4. The National Health Commission has also dispatched working groups to various provinces across the country to guide work related to epidemic prevention and control.

5. Experts judge that the current epidemic can still be prevented and controlled. However, the source of infection of the new coronavirus has not yet been found, the transmission route of the epidemic has not yet been fully understood, and virus mutations still need to be closely monitored.

Especially the last two: dispatch working groups to all provinces across the country. Strictly speaking, it should be dispatching working groups to all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country.

Of course, we also frankly admit that:

The source of infection has not yet been found,

The transmission route has not yet been fully understood,

The virus still needs to be Monitor closely.

On the same day, the Hubei Provincial Health Commission stated that Wuhan airport, railways, highways and other places began to detect human body temperature.

Wuhan Municipal Health Commission reported: From 0:00 to 24:00 on January 18, 5 cases were cured and discharged, 59 new cases, and 1 death; from 0:00 to 22:00 on January 19, 5 cases were cured and discharged One case was discharged from hospital and 77 new cases were discovered.

It was a cold winter. At around 3 a.m. on January 20, 2008, Beijing announced that two cases of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus were confirmed in Daxing District. In addition, Guangdong also announced a confirmed case of related pneumonia.

These three patients all have a history of traveling to Wuhan. Their current condition is stable and they have all received isolation treatment. Common sense suggests that as time goes by, more cases will be discovered.

This reminds me of that extraordinary period in 2003, when I was working in Jerusalem. I can’t believe it when I look at the domestic data every day. I can't believe that the bustling city has turned into such a scene.

In the end, with strong response, China successfully overcame this difficulty. At the beginning of the year 17 years later, a new disturbing case emerged.

Especially considering that Wuhan has a population of more than 10 million and is the thoroughfare of nine provinces. If the large number of people flow during the Spring Festival cannot be effectively controlled, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, this Spring Festival, friends in Wuhan, you should try to avoid going out of town as much as possible. Of course, if you really want to go out, you must abide by various regulations, and the government must also carry out various protective inspections.

Of course, we must also look at the positive side.

1. Although this is still an extremely terrible pneumonia, it looks
