This policy was viewed as "irresponsible" by China, which was taking a more cautious and "extremely strict" approach to virus prevention.</p><p class="ql-block">However, in December 2022, the situation in China reversed: as the virus proved difficult to contain, the government had to adopt a "lay low" stance and appear to coexist with the virus. The government's approach had to abandon its "extremely strict" measures and become more flexible in balancing virus prevention with the needs of the people who were struggling due to lockdowns. An unexpected miracle happened — after three weeks of the virus raging, it suddenly disappeared, and the nation was able to return to normal life.</p><p class="ql-block">From these events, we can draw inspiration that pandemics are natural phenomena that can be prevented and treated, but cannot be completely eradicated through excessive intervention. We must strike a balance between protecting people's health and respecting objective laws. The events of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK and China demonstrate the importance of a balanced approach to public health policy, one that takes into account both the severity of the virus and the possibility of eliminating it entirely.</p> <p class="ql-block">流行病政策平衡的教訓</p><p class="ql-block">2021年，當新型冠狀病毒在英國迅速蔓延時，英國政府宣布了“與它共存”的政策，鼓勵人們與病毒共存，實現(xiàn)全民免疫。這一政策被中國視為“不負責任”，中國正在采取更加謹慎和“極其嚴格”的病毒預防措施。</p><p class="ql-block">然而，2022年12月，中國局勢逆轉(zhuǎn)：由于病毒難以遏制，政府不得不采取“低調(diào)”的姿態(tài)，看似與病毒共存。政府逐漸放開了“極其嚴格”的措施，并變得更加靈活，以平衡病毒預防與因封鎖而苦苦掙扎的人們的需求。意想不到的奇跡發(fā)生了——病毒肆虐三周后，突然消失，國家得以恢復正常生活。</p><p class="ql-block">從這些事件中，我們可以得到啟發(fā)，流行病是可以預防和治療的自然現(xiàn)象，但不能通過過度干預來徹底根除。我們必須在保護人民健康和尊重客觀規(guī)律之??間取得平衡。英國和中國發(fā)生的 COVID-19 大流行事件證明了采取平衡的公共衛(wèi)生政策方法的重要性，這種方法既要考慮到病毒的嚴重性，又要考慮到完全消除它的可能性。</p>
