Zong Nansan is something like Sotiris Tsiodra from China. The vast country’s pandemic researcher made recommendations as early as 2002, when China was facing severe respiratory syndrome SARS. At that time, the Chinese recorded important experiences in the fight against coronaviruses in their assets.
This knowledge has given China a significant advantage in dealing with the current health crisis compared to many Western countries. At a time when Europe and the United States are battling the second wave of the pandemic, Zong Nansan has only good news to announce to the Chinese public.
In the media, the Chinese expert estimates that there will be no second wave of the pandemic in much of the country: “In China the situation is good. “But it was a victory, which was won with a lot of struggle,” says the 84-year-old doctor. In fact, in the fight against the pandemic, the Chinese people made many remarkable sacrifices.
Cities with millions of inhabitants were excluded from the outside world for weeks. Thanks to isolation, massive coronavirus testing and case tracking, China has done much better than many other countries in the world in treating coronavirus. Even if the authorities seem to have been almost completely indifferent to respecting the privacy of citizens.
The Chinese economy is on a growth trajectory
According to the Chinese leadership, a significant number of cases have not been recorded for months, with the result that life and economic activity in the country are returning to normal.
Economists estimate that this year China will be the only major economy in the world to register growth. Even in Uhan, the epicenter of the pandemic late last year, life has already returned to normal.
Wuhan was the first Chinese city to be excluded from the outside world due to the coronavirus. Of the more than 86,000 cases in the country, more than 50,000 were reported to Johann. Of the 4,600 victims of the coronavirus, more than 3,800 were registered in Uhan.
“Those who go to the movies are required to wear a protective mask. “But the same is not the case with purchases.” The 45-year-old gymnast describes the situation in her hometown of Wuhan as follows: “In general, everything returned to normal.”
Few outbreaks in the country
Wang, who was forced to stay indoors for weeks during the first lockdown last spring, could not understand why people in other countries reacted angrily when they saw a video of Wuhan celebrating with many partygoers. Poolside: “People make mistakes and judge what they see in China by remembering the plight of their home countries.”
The 45-year-old gymnast knows that China has not ended the pandemic once and for all. The country’s health authorities have reported local outbreaks from time to time, such as recently in the eastern province of Xinjiang with more than 180 cases or in the coastal city of Qingdao, where dozens of people were infected in a hospital.
In both cases the reaction of the Chinese authorities was immediate. Nearly 10 million Qingdao residents were tested for coronavirus in just a few days, 4 million in Xinjiang, and hundreds of thousands were quarantined. In the rest of China, however, life is going normally.
