Taiwan media summarizes the global anti-epidemic model: closing a city is worse than not closing it

At the beginning of the CCP's pneumonia epidemic, people mostly believed that isolation was an effective way to prevent the epidemic. The CCP has also been advocating its extreme "cities closure" model. But half a year later, people's understanding has gradually changed. Some Taiwanese media analyzed the typical epidemic prevention models adopted by the three countries, and believed that "forced closure" would have to pay a heavier price than "unblocked".

On August 2, a review article in Taiwan's "Shang Bao" selected three typical examples from the epidemic prevention models adopted by various countries-the CCP, Sweden, and the United States for analysis.

The article said that the CCP adopted a typical "economic stagnation model" of "closing households, closing cities, and closing industries." The authorities closed down households, buildings, communities, and even cities, stopped traffic, even nailed the doors of residents, and welded the doors of the entire building with angle irons. The CCP declared this to be "the most effective means to stop the virus" and advocated that it "sets an example for the world to fight the epidemic." However, on June 11, only three days after the authorities’ white paper promoting the “Great Victory of Anti-epidemic” was published, a new outbreak occurred in Beijing. This proves that from the end of January to March, the two-month nationwide lockdown did not achieve its goals.

The article said that the CCP did not seal off the virus, but it gave rise to a large-scale humanitarian crisis, which also cost lives. After the city was closed, there was no traffic, and the patient was unable to go to the hospital to go home and jumped off the overpass; because he could not go to the hospital, the patient committed suicide by jumping off the building because he could not get any food; the couple committed suicide by jumping off the building because they could not buy food; children with autism did not People take care and starve to death, etc. There is also a tragedy in which someone forced to leave the village after the village was closed, and the guards killed the villagers. This does not include the mental illness of the people caused by the lockdown.

In addition, the closure of cities and industries has also led to a huge wave of unemployment and unemployed people, and massive unemployment is a key factor in social instability.

The article said that the official data of the CCP shows that the current increase in China's infection data is "very slow", but no country is willing to adopt the CCP's epidemic prevention model. There are two reasons. One is that they may not believe the CCP's figures, and the other is that they do not accept the CCP model at all. .

The article continues to analyze that the model adopted by the Swedish government is completely opposite to that of the CCP, and life is basically normal during the epidemic. Although gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited and companies are required to arrange for employees to work from home, there is no mandatory stay-at-home order in Sweden, and shops, restaurants, stadiums and schools are still open.

During the epidemic, Sweden’s per capita mortality rate was much higher than that of neighboring countries, and nearly half of the deaths occurred in nursing homes. Even so, the Swedish government still adheres to its anti-epidemic model. The government believes that this model is sustainable, can free society from long-term fear, and will protect lives and the economy in the long run. Because the economy in the epidemic is also a key factor directly related to human emotions against the epidemic and the source of life. The Swedish people are satisfied with their current freedom of movement and psychological conditions, and they have always supported the government's approach.

The article believes that fear is more terrifying than a virus. Since every opening leads to an outbreak, it may not be completely blocked from the beginning. However, few countries have the courage of the Swedish government. For example, if Trump adopts the Swedish model, the leftist media and the Democratic Party will definitely call him an "executioner." Some American people who have been repeatedly brainwashed by the leftist media do not have the vision and calmness of the Swedes.

The article said that the US epidemic prevention model is between the CCP and Sweden. In the early stages of the epidemic, Trump listened to expert opinions and adopted a "social distancing" policy to protect vulnerable groups and ease the pressure on hospitals. The result also includes severe economic damage. At the end of April, Trump asked to reopen. However, many states stopped several times during the opening process because the number of positive tests increased sharply and people's fears increased. This also shows that "social distancing" does not block the virus. Every time it opens, the virus will reappear.

The article believes that the psychological negative effect of home isolation is extremely great, and with tens of millions of people unemployed, people cannot find an outlet to vent. This is also one of the reasons why the Freud incident caused great turmoil.

The article mentioned that in New York State, which has been slow to implement the "social distancing" order, there have been a large number of infections and deaths. However, the positive rate of detection in the opening process is always below 1%. In the early states such as California where the stay-at-home order was implemented, the number of people infected with the disease increased sharply after the opening. Because the virus cannot be blocked, the entire human community must be washed out. New York has been washed away, so there are no more people infected. California was closed early and reopened, and the virus must spread again.

The article also mentions the 1919 Spanish flu. In the fall and winter of 1918, Philadelphia was not closed and there were a lot of deaths. San Francisco was closed down early, with few casualties. But when the second wave of the epidemic came in the spring of the following year, San Francisco's economic situation could no longer be closed. There was no economic income for a long time, and people would starve to death, so they had to open again. The result is that the overall death toll in San Francisco is higher than that in Philadelphia. Because the second wave of viruses is stronger than the first wave. On the contrary, the closed communities will have to pay heavier lives and economic losses than unclosed communities.
