In the face of the epidemic, there is no enemy, only the war of human
These days, the domestic epidemic situation has improved significantly. Except for Hubei, where the situation is still severe, many regions have welcomed and even maintained an increase of zero confirmed cases. The dedication of frontline personnel and the persistence of ordinary people in the back were not in vain.
However, once we look beyond China's territory, we find that the situation is not optimistic.
The situation in South Korea is worrying. Some extremist organizations and individuals have appeared. Instead of heeding advice, they have also appeared in large gatherings, which has caused the virus to spread rapidly. In contrast, many initiatives in South Korea have also been implemented.
Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do areas will be closed to the greatest extent possible. The mask exit stopped. The football league was postponed.
Another neighbour, Japan, is not very peaceful.
First, 15,000 people in the football J-League watched the match wearing masks. Later it was simply postponed.
Previously noticed "Diamond Princess" cruise ship, there were cases of infection after disembarking.
In West Asia, the number of Iranian infections and deaths continues to rise. According to the data on the 24th, 61 people were infected and 12 died. Such a high mortality rate may reflect the local attention and medical level, and there are huge hidden dangers.
In Europe, the worst is Italy. According to Italian media reports, the Serie A league, which has a lot of big-named teams, may play in the air, and it does not rule out the possibility of postponement.
The closure of the 850 home theater is a relatively straightforward move for Italy
Faced with such an urgent situation, people with normal mental health probably frowned and felt deeply worried.
But some news and speech are not so.
Wherever international issues are involved, there is always a narrow nationalism to rise. What's more, this time, it's not a complicated trade war, it's not a long-standing historical issue, it's just the epidemic that can be seen with the naked eye. I ca n’t talk about mathematics, physics and chemistry. It ’s my turn to say a few words on the Hanyu Pinyin test?
I'm sorry to say that, of course, we can say it, but we are timid again.
Let me explain it may be unconvincing. We still invite the big master.
The famous German sociologist Ulrich Beck is one of the authors of the concept of "risk society". In order to sort out and explain this important concept, he also described "first modernity" and "second modernity".
The so-called first modernity refers to problems that a single nation state can cope with. A rough translation is the domestic affairs.
With the progress of human society, traditional geopolitical concepts have been gradually impacted and reconstructed, and we have gradually entered the era of second modernity. At this stage, a large number of problems can no longer be solved by a single country.
Such as global warming, they are not limited by national borders themselves, nor can they be swept up by a single country. This requires global concerted efforts.
This concerted effort is not motivated by pure good intentions, but by considering the possible serious consequences that countries must face together. How to solve historical problems, how to divide current responsibilities, and how to make future plans are the results of a large number of games.
Anyway, tearing each other out for each other is long gone.
The same is true of highly contagious outbreaks.
Under the premise that vaccines and special effects have not been successfully developed and the virus is still spreading across intercontinentals, the epidemic is an unquestionable second modernity issue that deserves global attention and dedication. At this juncture, any grievances and negative work will not only hurt people, but also hurt themselves.
This is true of the home country, as well as the individual.
But both at home and abroad, we have seen too many deep-rooted prejudices and extremely violent words and deeds. If we can't stop these people, at least don't become their companions, or at least don't be silent, and give up all the space to speak.
I'm not a follower of collectivism and I don't have that much optimism.
Even if we would win, it would be a terrible victory. How much life is lost for no reason, how much fragmentation and incompleteness remain in the world, how much dedication is gradually forgotten after chanting, how many mistakes will continue to repeat in the future.
In the slump of the epidemic, there are still people who throw their energies into meaningless disputes and regional views, which will only make people feel ridiculous, and even a little pitiful.
The context of a narrow nation-state is a dream of the past. In the face of the epidemic, take one step at a time and do one thing at a time.
In the past month, I have read many books related to the epidemic and disease.
There is a "blood epidemic" about Ebola. One paragraph was written like this:
In a sense, the earth is starting an immune response to humans. It began to respond to human parasites. The human flood seemed to be infected. The dead spots of concrete are spread all over the world. Europe, Japan and the United States are like the rotten meat of cancer. Infinite expansion and spread are likely to bring mass extinction to the biosphere. Maybe the biosphere does not "like" accommodating five billion humans. It may also be that a hundred years of extreme human proliferation has suddenly produced massive amounts of meat. These meats exist in every corner of the biosphere, and they may not be able to protect themselves in the face of another living body that wants to devour it. Nature has a means of self-balancing. Rain forests have their own means of protection. The Earth's immune system senses human activity and begins to function. Nature is trying to get rid of human parasitic infections.
I don't think this is completely alarmist. In order to win the battle of all mankind, everyone may wish to treat humanity as a community of destiny.
Let go of arrogance and learn to be humble before you can face it more actively. Take action to protect the earth, join hands to work together,think about how to maintain our survival home
