Commentator of People’s Daily： China’s anti-epidemic can be called ＂live broadcast＂

　　"In the face of a common enemy, people who charge forward deserve respect". An internationally renowned epidemiologist praised China’s anti-epidemic feat in this way, which also represents the general consensus of the international community on "China’s sacrifice" and "China’s contribution".

　　COVID-19 epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest infection range and the most difficult prevention and control since the founding of New China. An important reason why China has been able to control the epidemic in a short time is that it has always been open, transparent and responsible to the world, so that the society can know and release the epidemic information in time. Report the epidemic situation to the World Health Organization at the first time, share the Covid-19 gene sequence with other countries in the world at the first time, publish the scientific research progress in medical journals at the first time, continuously update and publish the 7 th edition of COVID-19’s diagnosis and treatment plan and the 6 th edition of prevention and control plan, disclose the pathological anatomy results in time, and dynamically inform the vaccine development … … Some people say that China’s anti-epidemic progress has been exposed to the camera and basked in the Internet, which can be called "live broadcast" for the whole world.

　　One family in the world, love yourself and others; Feelings are like brothers, and the sun and the moon can be used as a mirror. On December 27, 2019, Zhang Jixian, a doctor at Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, reported three suspicious cases she had received for the first time; On December 30th, Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Commission issued the Emergency Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Treatment of Unknown Pneumonia. On December 31st, National Health Commission expert group arrived in Wuhan to conduct on-site investigation. From January 3, 2020, China began to formally inform the World Health Organization and other countries in the world, including the United States, of information in a timely and proactive manner … … From the discovery of cases to the response to the epidemic, every step taken by China is well documented and completely open. Some media commented that Wuhan’s "city closure" on January 23 shocked the world. If such a red warning still can’t wake you up, it only means that you are pretending to sleep. Bill Gates told the media many times that "China did a lot of right things from the beginning".

　　Covid-19 is a brand-new virus, which is called "the most cunning virus" by experts. It has the characteristics of strong concealment, long incubation period and many changes. It takes a process for human beings to understand and judge it. Any responsible country will not and should not rashly identify it without sufficient and effective evidence. There is no safe haven for infectious diseases, so it is impossible, unnecessary and even more forbidden for China to conceal or delay the epidemic. Since January, China experts have published more than 1,100 papers in English academic journals, and released the research results of epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 to the international medical community without reservation; China has also opened an online knowledge center for COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, which is open to all countries. These precious achievements at the cost of life have provided reference for countries to fight the epidemic and helped save thousands of lives around the world. "China’s generosity should be thanked by other countries", said Dino Patty, founder of Indonesian Foreign Policy Association. "The speed and thoroughness of China’s action surprised everyone", and the British newspaper The Guardian also praised the openness and transparency of China’s anti-epidemic information.

　　"In China, all deaths are tragedies, and all life is marked with the highest value," said an American lawyer. On April 17th, Wuhan announced the revised number of confirmed cases and deaths in COVID-19. At the early stage of the epidemic, due to insufficient admission capacity, overloaded hospitals, the failure of a few medical institutions to connect with the disease prevention and control information system in time, and some patients worried about going out for infection and seeking medical advice at home, some phenomena of late reporting, missing reporting, false reporting and repeated statistics were objectively caused, but there was never any concealment, and no one dared to bear the consequences of illegal concealment. Once the conditions for comprehensive verification were met, Wuhan conducted a comprehensive investigation, statistics and revision of epidemic data in time, which reflected a rigorous and scientific attitude towards history, people and the deceased.

　　Although rumors can confuse people for a while, justice will never be absent. Many countries and international organizations spoke highly of China’s anti-epidemic measures and transparency. Some media have asked, when Wuhan "closed the city", there were only a few confirmed cases abroad. How can you blame China for the spread of the epidemic? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that some western politicians are wantonly slandering and trying their best to vilify themselves and plant others. The World Health Organization has warned many times that the danger of slandering other countries and people is greater than the virus itself. As a matter of fact, the whole process of China’s anti-epidemic campaign has been made public, which is well known by the international community. What those who accuse China of "hiding" want to hide is what we really need to be vigilant.

　　There is no second earth where human beings can escape unscathed, and there is no independent parallel world. The materials donated by China enterprises to Italy are printed with the famous words of Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher: "We are the waves of the same sea, the leaves on the same tree and the flowers in the same garden." This is a vivid portrayal of China’s practice of the concept of a community of human destiny with practical actions. It is urgent to fight the epidemic, and cooperation can win. China will always respect science, obey laws and respect practice, as always, open information, share experiences and strengthen cooperation, and urge all countries in the world to join hands and jointly safeguard the homeland of mankind.
