随着中国疫情逐渐好转,欧美却已在过去2周里全面沦陷新冠疫情。


两相对比,中国人强烈的民族优越感达到前所未有的高涨,谁都会觉得只有中国取得了最大的胜利,真牛气!


大众表现的方式也十分简单,对他国的评价普遍是“连抄作业都不会”,看热闹的心情溢于言表。


其实,中国的疫情目前仍然是全世界最严重的国家之一,而且现在的好转是付出了全国停摆至今这一极大代价的结果。


伤疤刚结痂,疼痛刚有所缓解,转身就把之前的艰辛和心血忘的精光,还掩饰不住的优越,这份阻挡不及的自信感来究竟从何而来?


远的不说,我们的亚洲近邻韩国和日本并没有抄我们的作业,却在近期控制住了疫情,不由令人惊奇。


我们不妨一起来看看,不封城的韩国和日本究竟靠什么控制住了疫情?



1
韩国:不封城不停工如何控制疫情?

据韩联社3月24日报道,据韩国中央防疫对策本部24日通报,截至当天0时,韩国较前一天0时新增76例感染新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)的确诊病例,累计确诊9037例。韩国不封城、不停工,在不到一个月的时间里疫情却能明显放缓,怎么做到的?

我们先来看一下,韩国疫情发展的三个阶段:
第一阶段,1月19日至2月17日,韩国病例只缓慢增长了30例。

第二阶段,2月17日至3月6日,韩国第31例确诊患者成为“超级传播者”,引发多米诺效应,确诊病例快速飙升至6284例。

第三阶段,3月6日至今,韩国新增病例连日减少,新增病例数已恢复到疫情大规模暴发初期水平。
韩国之所以能较快地遏制住疫情的蔓延,和韩国政府采取的应对机制分不开干系。

在疫情爆发之初,韩国总统文在寅第一时间下令管控医疗物资,如禁止口罩、护目镜、防护服等物资出口,首先解决内需。

与此同时,韩国政府决定对大邱市和庆尚北道采取“最大程度封锁”。不过,所谓的封锁措施,也仅是为了尽快找到并隔离接触病例的人员,阻断疫情的扩散及社区传播,而非禁止交通出入,并非武汉式封城。

韩国的防疫重点,就是尽量普遍测试,找出社会中的感染者,然后及时入院治疗。

从新冠肺炎大流行以来,韩国是世界上首个采取“得来速”方式进行检测的国家。怀疑自己被感染的可去这种设在路上的检测所,只需要10分钟,免费检测。48小时后在手机app上可以确认结果。这也是避免交叉感染和医疗挤兑的最好方式。

截止到18日0时,韩国的新冠肺炎核酸检测次数已累计30万次。

而且,韩国一开始就每天公开透明疫情动态。因为韩国确诊病例70%以上为集体性传播,所以这种集体性检测,足以掌握大部分疫情信息。

鉴于"得来速"方式的高效性,全球其他国家也看好这种方式,特朗普也表示引进相关方法,英国、德国、澳大利亚、丹麦等国家已经引进了相关方式,并已投入使用。

中国的防控方式目前看来确实有效,但是这不代表国外也完全按部就班地照抄作业。国情不同,体制不同,大多数国家无法付出封城+停工这么大的代价。

韩国没有封城,也没有停工停产,人们一般也不戴口罩,生活基本照旧,在疫情爆发的近一个月内,逐步地控制住了疫情。

接下来中国需要抗疫和复工两条腿一起走路,所以或许韩国的经验有不少值得我们学习的地方。

日本:应对疫情,自成体系

如果说韩国的表现实属优等生一列,那日本就显然是学霸级别了。

日本国内疫情的爆发还是由于“钻石公主号”的突然造访。因为大游轮完美地诠释了什么是病毒传播的最佳方式:密封、人员聚集。一人感染,全体危险。

现在确诊过千患者中,一大部分是来源于此。本土来说,只有小几百的患者,这对总人口1.27亿的日本来说,放在其他国家是难以想象的成绩。

在“钻石公主号”所带来的全球瞩目下,日本人到底用了什么办法,在没有不计一切代价的情况下,有效控制了疫情?

一开始,最直观的表现是,安倍及日本政府一直表现轻松,没有让民众陷入恐慌,而是尽力地抚慰民心,更没有因此采取过度地措施。

但是,在防止聚集性交叉感染方面,出手十分速度。早在2月份,就要求停止举办大型活动了。同时大面积铺排新冠肺炎的防护知识,无论是上了年纪的老大爷还是小学生都能很清晰地说出肺炎的病症及自我防护方式。

疫情爆发初期,就成立一个医疗权威专家组,安倍把所有的决策权都交给对方,实施非专业人士就不要干专业人士的事。

他只向公众传递,想要活命,就要听医生专家的话,专业人士会帮助我们脱离病魔。

中国的防控也有一定的成绩,但是,付出的代价极为重大。在全国各地逐步清零的数据下,勒令所有的返工人员强制隔离14天,这种宁可错杀一千也绝不放过一个的方法,更多是基于行政层面的考虑,当然你这也跟中国具体情况有关。

日本做不到封城隔离,他们就是按照科学的防疫方式,遵循专家的指导意见,普通人如果不舒服了,可以根据指示,决定是先咨询医生或者到亲自到医院求助。

最让人觉得可贵的是,日本始终没有叫停经济活动,诸如银座、GrandFront等商业购物中心,一直在营业提供正常服务。

在疫情面前,政府只是呼吁大家不聚集,要民众依靠自身的自律素质,来防范感染。这也体现出,日本是一个具有高度自治能力的成熟社会。

从根本来看,让一座城市停摆,本身并不可持续和操作。即便是短期实行也会给经济带来巨大损失,让社会和民众承受莫须有的压力,这些也会让政府付出隐形的政治代价。

封城,可算得上成本最高的防疫方式了。

在这场疫情的大考中,客观题是各国政府如何应对疫情,主观题是疫情之下,如何尽快振兴经济,早日走出这场灾难的泥潭。

现在看来,主观题部分,目前得分最高的,当属日本。而客观题部分,也不算差劲。

为了缓解日本的经济下行,日本政府2月中旬就启动第一轮紧急应对措施,给予中国小企业以资金扶持,及支援供应链受损企业,同时加大疫苗的研发和投入等等。

3月10日,日本第二轮紧急应对措施出台。

对于孩子和家长:凡因为疫情孩子休学在家造成停工的家长,每人每天最高补贴8330日元(约合人民币553元),直至开学为止,即便是自由职业者,也可享有每天4100日元(约合人民币272元)的定额补贴,并要求学校退还孩子停课期间的餐费,由政府补贴;

对个人和家庭:为困难家庭提供10-20万小额个人贷款;

对于疫情:为托儿所和护理机构提供2000万个口罩;鼓励民间引进设施,让病毒检测一天最高可检测7000个样本。

对中小企业:为中小企业的资金周转提供1.6万亿日元的金融支持;同时设立5000亿日元的无息、无担保贷款。

大灾大难之下,一个政府能做的,日本都做了。

对于经过艰苦努力、终于有效控制疫情的我们来说,应当尊重日本的防控策略,我们没有资格嘲笑日本人。

虚心学习,取长补短,才能造就真正的大国昌盛。

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education. There was another reason that Joanne was balky about signing the adoption papers. Her father was about to die, and she planned to marry Jandali soon after. She held out hope, she would later来源:小兵说天下
