SARS has had a strong impact on China's economy in a short period of time, and the turnover of Shenzhou Technology and Xifeng Company declined significantly from April to May.

But in this trend, sales of Xifeng Pure Water, Instant Noodles and Nicola soared.

The reason why Xifeng pure water and instant noodles are popular is because citizens panic and rush to buy supplies. In some big cities, these things are sold out in a short period of time. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in Beijing. Rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar... are all within the scope of the rush to buy, and the shelves in major shopping malls are empty. A reporter interviewed an old couple who bought more than 6,000 yuan in grain and oil, and the other party replied: "We plan to not go out for a few months."

This situation can easily cause the supply and marketing system to collapse in a short period of time. Beijing urgently transferred thousands of tons of grain. Many famous daily necessities manufacturers cooperated with each other. 1.45 million traders were on duty 24 hours a day, finally resisting the biggest buying trend on April 24. The reporter asked at the time: "If the people continue to buy like this, how many days can the Beijing city withstand it?" The official response: "Three days." The reporter asked again: "What's the result?" The official answered: "Only robbed 30 hours."

The empty goods on the shelves, the more panicked the people will be, and the more they will rush to buy. When they find that there are always things on the shelves, they will feel at ease immediately, and the rush to buy will naturally subside.

In other countries, the SARS epidemic may have caused the society to collapse before the rush to buy has already caused social order to be chaotic.

As for the sudden selling of Coke, it makes people speechless. It is just because the formula of Coke includes Chinese medicine ingredients such as licorice and white peony. For some reason, many people bought it as medicine to drink it. Its popularity is almost as high as mung beans.

By early June, the epidemic situation in various places was obviously under control and people gradually returned to normal life, but the panic caused by the epidemic was still continuing.

A series of heroic figures and a short and touching heroic story emerged during the SARS epidemic. Countless medical workers deserve the title of angels in white. They are really using their lives to interpret the professions of doctors and nurses.

Of course, while promoting heroic deeds, the official also reflects very frankly. For example, when the official held a press conference, it made a very frank announcement: "There are more than 32,000 registered doctors and more than 34,000 nurses in Beijing, but there are less than 3,000 doctors and nurses familiar with respiratory medicine, accounting for only 4.3% of the total. There is no special hospital in the entire capital that truly treats respiratory infectious diseases."

The general background of this situation is the struggle between humans and infectious diseases for thousands of years, and has achieved gratifying achievements in the contemporary era, which people call it the "first health revolution". Medical scientists around the world have devoted their main energy to the study of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other common diseases. As long as these diseases can be successfully curbed, the "second health revolution" can be ushered in. The prevention and control of large-scale infectious diseases has been neglected around the world.

So, Xiaotangshan Hospital was born.

The Beijing Construction Committee temporarily convened six major groups to deploy. The six major groups received construction instructions at night and arrived at the construction site at dawn. There was no budget, no contract, no time to negotiate wages, and there was no construction drawings at first. Anyway, as soon as they arrived on site, they began to do preliminary work such as leveling the land.

4,000 migrant workers, let alone food, and even drinking water were not prepared. They worked for a whole day and a night. When another 3,000 migrant workers came, they lay down in the weeds to rest. Later, the head of the head urgently transferred 4,500 quilts and told them to collect them. No one moved because the construction period was too tight, and the people who took the lead in working and worked were working all the time, and they didn't even dare to sit in the back. In their original words, "I will sleep as soon as I sit, but you don't have time to sleep."

There was a construction worker named Zhao Zhigang who finished work at 3 a.m. and was holding a quilt to find a place to sleep. It was raining and it was dark everywhere. He fell into the tunnel for laying pipes and fell asleep in the tunnel. If it weren't for the workers buried in the pipelines, Zhao Zhigang would have been buried alive by bulldozers.

It took only seven days and seven nights to a modern hospital with nearly a thousand beds to meet the requirements for treating respiratory infectious diseases. In this way, it rose up in the wilderness of the capital. SARS patients in the whole capital were safely transferred, and the top respiratory infectious disease experts in the country gathered here to overcome difficulties.

Let’s work together to overcome difficulties!

In June, the college entrance examination is coming early.

Why is it said to be early? Because the college entrance examinations were held in July before, and it started this year and was held in June.

The candidates immediately wailed, especially mathematics. It seemed that the national mathematics papers were leaked, and backup papers were temporarily launched. Those who could get 90 points were all Suzhou Province, which had excellent grades and was hailed as a strong college entrance examination province. The average math score was only 68 points this year.

(Lao Wang remembered the high school class teacher. He just finished the first year of high school. How about "Chen x" talking? Because "Chen x" was the student he brought out, the top scorer in science in the province, with 137 points in mathematics. This score could scare the candidates of that class. But Lao Wang's senior told reporters: "I also failed this college entrance examination. I only got 137 in mathematics, which can be said to be a big loss.")

During the summer vacation, Song Weiyang took his family to Changbai Mountain to escape the summer heat. There was no SARS epidemic there, and he could also take Doudou to relax.

Doudou has not been easy for the past two months. She has to bring her temperature meter to school every day. After taking her temperature at home, she has to ask her parents to sign, otherwise she will not even think about entering the school gate. Her mother Lin Wanzi is trapped in the capital and dare not walk around. She calls her phone every morning and evening, and the relationship between the mother and daughter has become much more harmonious.

Before SARS was completely over, the dispute over traditional Chinese and Western medicine on the Internet started.

Because in the middle and late stages of the fight against SARS, "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine" was vigorously promoted. Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences said: "West medicine combined with 'integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy' can effectively improve the main clinical symptoms such as shortness of breath, dry cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue." Traditional Chinese medicine experts even wrote a paper, and concluded that "the research group for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment has a duration of 2 days less than the research group for the simple Western medicine treatment, and a duration of 1 day less than the research group for the simple Western medicine treatment...."

What caused the debate happened to be this paper, Song Weiyang's professional compulsory statistics, and he could see that there was a problem with statistical sampling. How could the "Chinese Medicine Black" give up this opportunity?

In fact, as citizens rush to buy isatis root, mung beans, and folk remedies such as "vinegar steaming" were popular during SARS, many people have been dissatisfied with traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, the Ministry of Health praised the contribution of "integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy" to fight SARS, some people were indignant, thinking that traditional Chinese medicine was making contributions throughout the process and stole the limelight of Western medicine.

The problem is that the leaders are not stupid. From the beginning, they completely ignored traditional Chinese medicine, to the sudden mobilization of a large number of top traditional Chinese medicine experts for consultation, and they also specially recommended it to the World Health Organization. It must be because it is effective!

This debate will last for many years. As a great hero in the fight against SARS, Academician Zhong was used as a tool for pen war by "Chinese medicine hackers" and "Chinese medicine fans", and both sides were distorting the facts. Later, Academician Zhong said: "From SARS to avian influenza, I have learned a lot from the treatment effects of traditional Chinese medicine over the past decade... But I do not agree with the statement of "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine", because traditional Chinese and Western medicine has its own characteristics, and what we should do most at present is "together advancement of traditional Chinese and Western medicine" and "complementary Chinese and Western medicine."

The "Chinese Medicine Black" immediately took the point out of context, saying that Academician Zhong denied the integration of Chinese and Western medicine and also denied Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is definitely useless.

The "Traditional Chinese Medicine fans" only read the news titles. In Academician Zhong's original words, they have already confirmed the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on SARS and avian influenza, and even believed that traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine should go hand in hand. However, they collectively turned a blind eye to Academician Zhong, and that some people have personally attacked Academician Zhong online.

I can only say that the reporters are very good at giving a good rhythm, because the news title they gave is: Academician Zhong opposes the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine!
