Media: If the biggest victim of "lying flat" is the elderly, how to reduce the mortality rate of the elderly under the epidemic?

In the case that the epidemic is always repeated, many people put forward the idea of * * * following the epidemic, but it was opposed by many people, because the impact of the epidemic is not fatal to young people, but it is very serious to the elderly. The elderly have many chronic diseases, poor physique and unchanged information communication. What if? Lie flat? The elderly will suffer unprecedented disasters. So, in this case, how should we protect the health of the elderly and reduce their mortality?

First of all, some studies show that the vaccination coverage rate of the elderly in China is far less than that in Europe and America. The first thing to do is to actively encourage the elderly to get vaccinated. If the elderly are too afraid of vaccines, it is necessary to popularize the importance and use of vaccines to the elderly in popular language. To understand the reasons why the elderly don't vaccinate, and patiently explain to them, so as to alleviate or eliminate the inner panic of the elderly. Vaccination in COVID-19 is the key to ensure the health of the elderly under the epidemic situation. At the same time, we can also encourage the elderly to actively vaccinate through various subsidies for the elderly.

Secondly, many elderly people are in danger under the epidemic situation, probably because they are inconvenient to move or can't receive news in time. Some old people don't know how to use smart phones, so they don't know what news there is in the community, such as nucleic acid testing, vaccination, control area management and so on. There are also some old people who are not feeling well and have inconvenient legs and feet. Even if they know this information, they can't cooperate because they can't do so. In this case, society needs to allocate various resources, manpower, material resources and financial resources to help the elderly. Regular visits to the elderly can be arranged by regular people, and certain measures can be taken to give the elderly a certain living allowance.

Finally, the society should establish and improve the protection mechanism of the rights and interests of the elderly, and bring the life and health of the elderly into the welfare scope. In the event of an epidemic, a special support center for the elderly can be established. Will not help the elderly to the community service center for the elderly to manage or help the elderly to solve the problem of buying medicine when they are sick. One of the reasons why China insists on dynamic zero clearing is that the elderly in China are at great risk of infection. Improving the health level of the elderly is the fundamental way to avoid the elderly being infected with the COVID-19 epidemic.
