Internet information technology breaks the geographic barrier of epidemic prevention and control

We must continue to use information technology to improve the early warning response mechanism and improve prevention, control and treatment capabilities.
Zhong Nanshan believes that the international community should come together, abandon differences, and carry out greater, closer and more comprehensive cooperation in the fields of vaccine research and development, 5G healthcare, and data sharing.
“From the beginning of the fight against the epidemic, we have set out to use big data, artificial intelligence and other means to discover and control the source of infection.” Li Lanjuan, a scholar at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a member of the high-level think tank of the National Health Commission, also believes that artificial intelligence has played a role in fighting the epidemic. Great effect. In terms of intelligent diagnostics, it is possible to rapidly develop effective reagents and drugs through artificial intelligence and perform remote inquiries via the Internet.

We deeply appreciate the power of digitization. The prevention and control of the epidemic can be precise for people through carriers such as health codes.

“Since this year, the new generation of information technology represented by the Internet has broken the geographical barriers caused by the epidemic and promoted global cooperation in scientific and technological research on epidemic prevention and control.” Guo Guo, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chairman of the Cyberspace Expert Advisory Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences East China made such judgments.
5G applications expected to bridge the digital divide
Liu Liehong, vice minister of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that there are 700,000 5G base stations in China, mainly distributed in the southeast coastal area and the central region. At the same time, a broadband network with high performance, wide coverage and low price has been established. The average rate for fixed and mobile broadband traffic decreased by more than 90% compared to 2015, and the penetration rate of mobile broadband users reached 96%, an increase of almost 40% compared to with 2015.
Hong Yaozhuang, executive director of the Global Association of Mobile Communications Systems, believes that China, the United States, Japan and South Korea are leading the development of 5G. The construction of 106 5G wireless networks in 47 countries will reach more than $ 1 trillion in 2025.
However, UN Deputy Secretary General Liu Zhenmin also spoke about the sad fact that there are still around 3.6 billion people in the world who cannot access the internet. The background is a huge digital divide. If they lack digital technology, they inevitably lack opportunities for education, employment, and medical security.
Steve Molenkov, CEO of Qualcomm of the United States, said that this year, the differences in network connections caused by the digital divide have become more prominent, and policy makers and the wireless ecosystem urgently need to work together to resolve this. problem. Qualcomm believes that the widespread application of 5G will become the key to meeting the big challenges.

Interoperability to promote the innovative development of the digital economy.
The initiative proposes that countries cooperate in the field of communications infrastructure such as fiber optic cable backbones and international submarine cables, and under the premise of respecting the sovereignty of national networks and network policies, explore ways acceptable opportunities to expand Internet access and connectivity, so that more Developing countries and people share the development opportunities that the Internet provides.
