Late Night Post - On December 26, the National Health Commission announced that there are two main important points:
1. Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia was renamed Novel Coronavirus Infection;
2. "Category B B Tube ".
The new coronavirus infection "Class B B tube" period is coming soon infographic
In Uncle Hai's opinion, this is of course one of the biggest adjustments to anti-epidemic policy since the discovery of the new coronavirus in Wuhan in late 2019 and China's nationwide People's War of general war of obstruction concerning the anti-epidemic.
In essence, the virus is mutating, and so is the method of fighting the epidemic. Soldiers do not have the same situation, water does not have the same shape, change, naturally, there is a reason for change.

Look carefully at this announcement from the National Health Commission. Despite the late-night release, but it does not mean that the next morning at dawn on the implementation of the "Class B B tube". The specific adjustment date is January 8, 2023, as approved by the State Council.
So does this mean that between now and January 8 next year, we will still be implementing "Category B A" as we have done since the beginning of 2020? In Uncle Hai's opinion, to some extent, yes.
But it must be seen that even in the past three years, the policy has been constantly adjusted and optimized. For example, the initial seal of control, there is no universal nucleic acid. But in the spring of this year, after the influx of omicron into the mainland and the widespread localized spread of the disease, universal nucleic acid, and even almost universal distribution of antigens during the closure of the control in Shanghai, has become a "method of warfare".
After that, the universal distribution of antigen was terminated. With the "twenty" optimization measures, "new ten" optimization measures launched in succession, universal nucleic acid also ended.
On December 10, Lanzhou Railway Bureau Group Co., Ltd. resumed the operation of a number of train data map
Why will do these optimization? To a large extent, it is a unified national understanding - the probability of Omicron causing pneumonia is far lower than the original strain and Delta and so on. Such an understanding is backed up by data from a number of local outbreaks outside China, as well as research and analysis by, for example, Zhang Wenhong's team during the 2022 spring outbreak in Shanghai. In fact, it is also deduced from the analysis of various experts can be b b tube, ultimately, the decision makers are determined to make policy adjustments.

Why not change the policy earlier? Why not adjust the policy in the spring when the weather is getting warmer, but to the winter when the flu is generally high? This was the flurry of discussion among some friends last night and this morning. In Uncle Hai's opinion, as long as we see some of the situation after the introduction of the "twenty articles" and "new ten articles" and analyze them carefully, we can get some answers.
Purely personal opinion -
First of all, China is a big country. Not only is it vast, but it has a large population. There is a unique feature in the world, which is the concentration of population and more than ten million people in large cities. The United States is also vast, but the population distribution is balanced; India's land area is not as large as China, but the overall population distribution is also quite balanced. Even so, do not forget, the U.S. epidemic from the New York mega-city up. The Indian epidemic distribution also has similarities. So, if China's decision-making is liberalized, once there is a bias, what will happen? From the "poison" on the seal, to the "20", to the "new ten", in fact, is a small step fast. Even if there is any error, there is still a chance for quick adjustments to be made. For example, after the implementation of the "new ten articles", some places are short of fever medicine. It is hard to imagine what would happen if all the adjustments were made overnight and the new policy was put into practice. Then, the announcement of January 8, the implementation of "Class B, B tube", around will have more than 10 days of preparation time.
Secondly, despite China's vastness and population, and is indeed a "national chess", can be specific to the grassroots, in order to complete the work of the specific practices, there are differences. In addition to the large area of the country's climate and other north-south, east-west differences, as well as population density, urban-rural differences, differences in the level of economic development, the people's awareness of the epidemic, and so on, there are differences. It is appropriate to spend about ten days to do specific analysis and deployment preparations.
Once again, in the spring and summer of this year, there was not a complete answer to the data on the rate of pneumonia caused by omijon, and so on. At that time, Singapore engaged in policy practices similar to those in China today; Hong Kong, China has since made some adjustments. In fact, it is certain that the data obtained from these adjustments have also served as a reference for China's decision-making.

Uncle Hai has said time and again that he believes a business-as-usual world will eventually come. And for the moment, we are getting closer and closer to a business-as-usual world with the introduction of the "Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B, Class B". In the past two days, there have been rumors on the Internet that the "original strain" has reappeared, and this has been confirmed by experts as a rumor. Later, experts confirmed that it was a rumor.
In fact, from the point of view of natural evolution, the virus should not have a "return to ancestral phenomenon". However, it is important to see that the new coronavirus pneumonia renamed new coronavirus infection, does not mean that after infection, there is no probability of turning into pneumonia. In fact, it is possible for any common viral cold to turn into pneumonia or even severe pneumonia. According to some data, the rate of Omicronjon infection turning into pneumonia is still about 16%. Especially people such as the elderly over 60 years old are much more likely to turn to pneumonia than younger people.
Category B B control, but that doesn't mean leave it alone!
Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health, and this should not be forgotten.

A few days ago, Li Qun, director of the Emergency Response Center of the CDC, also said to the outside world, the new coronavirus infection adjusted to the "B B tube" infectious diseases, according to the changes in the situation of the epidemic will be adjusted to the epidemic announcement The frequency will be adjusted to once a month.
Opening the issue of outbound travel, but also pay attention to the word "orderly". The fact that we are now living in a world that is different from the one we lived in during the epidemic-free period is a testament to the fact that we are now living in a world that is different from the one we lived in during the epidemic-free period. The more we pay attention to this aspect of self-discipline, the sooner the world will be completely as normal!
