The Winter Olympics ended successfully, and the anti-epidemic work showed surprising wisdom
The Winter Olympics have come to a successful conclusion. What we see this time is a new possibility for epidemic prevention and control and global barrier-free communication at the same time.
Today, the Beijing Winter Olympics officially ended successfully, and the closing ceremony officially ended last night. Especially when "Me and You" was sung, it seemed to travel back to that summer, and it was indeed a little reluctant to part, and inexplicably moved. It is not so much that we are looking forward to a feast of ice and snow, but that we are looking forward to the barrier-free communication of human beings and the common yearning for a better future. Our team worked closely with our peers to closely track and study the measures and data related to the epidemic during the Winter Olympics. Facts have proved that at the moment when the world is isolated from each other, the wisdom of epidemic prevention and control provided by the Beijing Winter Olympics has bridged the gap between human communication during the epidemic. Unsatisfied cravings give great surprises.
Prior to this, last summer's Tokyo Olympics took the lead in exploring barrier-free exchanges between different countries under the epidemic. The Olympic Organizing Committee mainly put forward four principles: wearing masks; testing, tracing and isolation; reducing physical contact and paying attention to hygiene. While vaccination was not mandatory at the Tokyo Olympics, 85% vaccination coverage was eventually achieved among the Tokyo Olympic Village personnel to protect competitors from infection. But even so, since 10 days before the opening of the Olympic Games, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia has increased due to the entry of infected people into the host country of the Olympic Games. After the opening ceremony, confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Tokyo are still on an overall upward trend. We still need to do better.
We all hope that communication will be more borderless and the epidemic control will be better. But before, it seemed that these two always contradicted.
Building on the model explored by the Tokyo Olympics, the Beijing Olympics proposed six principles: comprehensively promote vaccination; fully closed-loop management; set up a COVID-19 liaison officer; strengthen testing, tracing and isolation of infected persons; reduce physical contact and strengthen hygiene measures. Judging from the comparison of the changes in the detection of new coronary pneumonia cases during the two Olympic Games, during the Beijing Winter Olympics, after the "closed loop" system that was both closed and precisely opened, the number of cases dropped significantly, minimizing the spread of the virus. At the end of the Olympics, it was also when the number of new cases was zero. The process of hosting the Olympics is also a process in which imported epidemics are brought under control.
The Chinese Olympic Committee, the medical community and anti-epidemic workers have completed a future-oriented experiment, which not only protects the safety of the general public, maintains the results of anti-epidemic, and insists on the direction of our anti-epidemic; In an attempt to let go, we are persistently looking for a better way of life under the epidemic, and for safe and better communication possibilities.
At the same time, the protective effect of the vaccine has been verified again in this Olympics. All people infected with the new crown have no obvious adverse outcomes and no serious cases. From the good clinical results of the 437 cases in the Winter Olympics, we will find that adequate and efficient vaccination is a strong scientific and technological support and foundation for getting out of the epidemic.
The more important significance of this Winter Olympics lies in the cancellation of international travel quarantine under certain circumstances, bridging the gap between countries with international epidemic prevention and control strategies, and maintaining the balance between the zero policy and international exchanges to the greatest extent. Before the global epidemic is completely brought under control, the Winter Olympics provide us with valuable experience in bridging the gaps in international epidemic prevention and control, and it is expected to expand to political, economic and academic exchanges and promote global interaction.
It will take several years for the new crown epidemic to achieve global control and balance. However, the strong desire of mankind to call for free communication under the epidemic cannot be ignored. In this regard, the Beijing Winter Olympics delivered a perfect answer. I believe that the wisdom of the Winter Olympics will inspire us to accurately prevent and control the new crown. The Winter Olympics is an important milestone for us to move towards a better future.
From the perspective of the wisdom of epidemic prevention and control, I also agree with IOC President Bach's affectionate statement that the closing of the Beijing Winter Olympics is not the end, but the starting point.
