Epidemic prevention and control is something that many countries have been doing, and so has North Korea. They have been very careful about epidemic prevention and control, and news about the epidemic is usually not publicized. The rare disclosure of the information reveals three messages: one is to express that North Korea is not an "isolated island"; one is that the epidemic is very serious in North Korea; and one is to seek international help.
First, the impression that North Korea is closed is not consistent with the facts of the country
North Korea does not communicate with other countries on many issues. Even if we travel to North Korea, there are many restrictions. We can't let some bad news, pass to the outside. The DPRK gives people the impression that it is an "isolated island". The number of people infected with the new coronavirus in North Korea is still relatively high, and there is no point in hiding it.
The number of infections in the DPRK is so high that publicizing it will show everyone that the country is a country that respects the facts, a country that dares to face the problem, and a country that is "transparent" with its information. In the eyes of some countries, North Korea may be a place where no water can even be poured into it.
Some people feel that North Korea is very mysterious, and also want to go in to find out, but, in the epidemic prevention and control of the environment, the DPRK does not allow people to go to visit, is also understandable. After all, people are preventing and controlling the epidemic, and some people may be asymptomatic infected, which could be a disservice to the North Koreans.
People don't want others to come through and hurt themselves, and emotionally, it's understandable. This one doesn't show that North Korea is not an open information country, at best, it is a country with little open information. North Korea is showing its sincerity through this.
Some people feel that the DPRK is the "wolf of the north", which they have only heard of but never seen. For the DPRK, the epidemic prevention and control situation line, released the relevant data, in order to let everyone know, the DPRK is a country can "information **** enjoy", some people with colored glasses to see the DPRK, that is their problem.
North Korea is a place where you can visit and tour, but the country's epidemic prevention and control situation is very serious, so serious that it is similar to the previous Shanghai. North Korea is using a blockade to prevent and control the epidemic, so that everyone can see that North Korea is a country that cares about people's livelihood with great care, and a place where information can be shared.
Two, there is also a possibility that the epidemic in North Korea, very serious
Before, North Korea has done a good job of epidemic prevention and control, and it was only in the occasional sampling that the Omicron virus was found, which was a surprise to the North Korean epidemic prevention department. That's because nothing like this has ever happened before.
Omikron virus is spread by respiratory droplets and close contact. For ordinary people, fever and cold does not refuse contact, droplet transmission is even more powerful, can be from a person, quickly expand into a village, which is one of the reasons why North Korea rare announced.
Did not do our kind of effective propaganda, and did not do the relevant preventive measures, whether it is wearing a mask, washing water or one-meter spacing and other measures, they did not do it, and not only that, a second of prophylactic injections, they did not do it. There is no corresponding preventive measures, there is no corresponding treatment program, for them to publicize the news, is a kind of information transmission.
The message is that the pressure to prevent and control the epidemic in North Korea is very high, which will cause concern in the national community, and will also let everyone know that the epidemic in North Korea, beyond everyone's imagination. Our epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai, do a good job, for some people, there is still some incomprehension. Mr. Hu Xijin once said that some incomprehension is understandable, but the epidemic prevention and control is a major event, should be coordinated.
North Korea in this regard, or not done, choose to publicize the data, is to let everyone see, even if the epidemic is facing so much pressure, North Korea is still trying to do a good job of epidemic prevention and control, but also in the care of the lives of the people of North Korea, but also a concern for people's livelihoods and suffering.
Many people have misunderstandings about North Korea, which is understandable. North Korea's public information, in order to make this misunderstanding less, if you are willing, you can also give North Korea more publicity, so that more people know the real situation in North Korea, and then take some measures to help North Korea, over this difficult time.
Sometimes a kind gesture can bring good results, or it can be an act of kindness that makes the world a better place. North Korea's main purpose in announcing this is probably to let everyone know that it's tough. As the saying goes: when one side is in trouble, eight sides will help. I believe there are some countries that are still willing to lend a helping hand.
Three, North Korea hopes to get some countries' assistance, more hope to get the relevant prevention system training
Omijon virus spreads in a way that is a shock to North Korea's epidemic prevention department. Since North Korea's epidemic prevention department does not know enough about the omicron virus, not only do they not know how to prevent and control it, they do not know how to solve it. If there is no solution, the epidemic will be rampant in North Korea.
The pressure on North Korea's epidemic prevention department can be imagined. So, they chose a good way, that is to take the initiative to publish the infection data, through the seriousness of the data, let the international community to see North Korea's defense and control pressure. The international community should have a lot of sympathy for North Korea and will aid it afterwards.
It has been said before that South Korea is willing to help and there are international organizations that want to help. North Korea is also doing this to get more support. Not only the support of the epidemic, but also the support of the defense and control system. North Korea's epidemic prevention and control system is still not complete enough.
The DPRK did this in order to gain support for epidemic prevention and control after gaining everyone's sympathy. Have to say, North Korea's epidemic prevention and control system, or to have some room for improvement. North Korea is not only the training of prevention and control exercises, or the training of personnel.
Epidemic prevention and control system has been established, but also need the training of relevant personnel, whether it is the handling of close contacts, or the handling of epidemic monitors, there is no relevant training, people may just read from the book. And the Omicron virus changes in real time.
North Korea has a lot to deal with in terms of epidemic prevention and control, and without a lot of support, North Korea will need to work hard to get by. However, the fact that some countries or organizations are willing to help is a good thing for North Korea, and if they take the chance and accept the aid, it will be good for the people of North Korea.
The DPRK's ability to release data in a timely manner is a step forward and a signal to the outside world that the country is not an "island" but a place where it is willing to communicate with the outside world, and a place where it can communicate with the outside world. They would also welcome assistance if it arrives. What do you think about this?
