Copying Chinese "homework" from various countries: Japan is not in a hurry, South Korea is slow, and Italy is absolutely capable of copying

Recently, the COVID-19 has been well controlled in China.

However, countries such as South Korea, Japan, Italy, and Iran have begun to show an outbreak trend, with confirmed cases rapidly increasing.

In response, netizens have called for "taking a snapshot of China to copy homework".

01

Let's take a look at the epidemic data of these countries as of 9:00 am on February 25th:

Obviously, the epidemic situation in South Korea and Japan is already very severe.

Although there are over 600 cases in Japan that were previously confirmed on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, and only over 100 cases have been confirmed locally, as I mentioned in yesterday's article, many suspected cases in Japan are currently undetected, and the transmission routes of most local infected individuals are unknown.

So, Japan should have many potential infected individuals, and there is a risk of an outbreak of the epidemic.

However, Japan seems not in a hurry when it comes to copying Chinese "homework".

Now, the Japanese people have begun to pay attention to the epidemic and may choose to wear masks in some occasions. However, they are not yet vigilant enough and their predictions about the epidemic are relatively optimistic.

The medical guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan recommend that individuals with a continuous fever of 37.5 ℃ or above for 4 days, strong fatigue or breathing difficulties, need to go to the hospital for relevant testing.

In addition, to do the detection of COVID-19, you need a letter of introduction from Houlao Province, otherwise the cost will be very high.

It must be said that Japan's failure to promptly diagnose and treat suspected cases undoubtedly increases the risk of the epidemic spreading.

In recent days, the number of confirmed cases in South Korea has grown out of control. In terms of epidemic management, South Korea's response has also been slow, but efforts have been made to remedy it

On the 24th, the South Korean government directly lit a red light on the epidemic, raising the epidemic warning to the highest "serious" level.

On the 25th, due to the majority of confirmed cases being concentrated in Daegu City and the Gyeongsangbuk do region, the South Korean government decided to designate these two areas as special control zones and adopt super strong "blockade measures" to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

In addition, South Korea has banned large-scale gatherings.

However, there are still some South Korean people who do not take the epidemic seriously and violate the "ban" by holding a grand rally. Some participants do not wear masks and eat food separately.

The organizers even predicted that there would be a rally next week, saying 'it's okay if you get sick or die'.

Such behavior undoubtedly increases the difficulty of epidemic prevention and control.

Compared to South Korea and Japan, Italy is the best at copying Chinese homework.

At present, the epidemic situation in Italy is relatively severe. Many cases of infection do not know the transmission route and scope of spread, and a super carrier has emerged, with over 80 people infected by it before and after.

This super communicator has been referred to by the media as the "No.1 patient" in Italy. As a sports expert, he participated in two marathons, one football match, and even had meals with multiple friends.

At least 50000 people were affected by Patient 1 and forced to undergo quarantine.

On February 22, after the sudden surge of COVID-19 cases in Italy, the authorities began to be on high alert and ordered the bars and other public places in 10 towns to be closed, leaving no one in the streets.

In the past two days, Italy has learned from China's experience in combating the epidemic and has imposed a "lockdown" on 12 towns.

The Italian people are more cooperative with the authorities' measures. People in the Lombardy region began to hoard food and daily necessities crazily, and supermarkets were sold out.

Milan's schools and museums have been closed, large-scale events such as the Venice Carnival have been cancelled, and some regional Serie A football leagues have also been postponed

As long as Italians persist in home quarantine and do not give the virus a chance to spread, I believe the dawn of victory is ahead.

In the eyes of many people, the epidemic may only be a series of confirmed cases and death numbers, but for the families behind it, it is a huge disaster.

How many fresh lives, great healthcare workers, have died innocently due to this epidemic!

Finally, we hope that Japan and South Korea can quickly copy China's "homework" and prevent the epidemic from continuing to spread. Nothing is more precious than life.
