Just like the SARS prevention and control war, this new coronavirus war challenges not only medical institutions, but also the community of the whole people, and even everyone.

Many times, when encountering disasters and other emergencies, public opinion will habitually express that "we are all people", but in terms of relevance, I'm afraid that nothing can match the "human to human" epidemic situation of infectious diseases, which can make us feel more truly -- "we are all epidemic prevention people".

Academician Zhong Nanshan suggested, "Don't go to Wuhan without special circumstances". This kind of advice and prevention and control response requires everyone's cooperation, and will inevitably affect many people's temporary convenience and disrupt the original Spring Festival plan more or less. For example, some people may have to pay attention to the occasion or even cancel the gathering of their classmates, relatives and friends that they originally scheduled, and even some business behaviors will be affected.

It must be recognized that many prevention and control works, especially those involving control, monitoring and inspection, are based on the premise of reducing the convenience of the people and sacrificing local interests. Some of them may achieve social sharing through building reasonable mechanisms, but some may be destined to require individual commitment, which is a must accept fact, and it is also a last resort in extraordinary times.

In essence, this epidemic is also a "training" for people's scientific literacy and civic spirit. Believe in science, follow the scientific "self-protection guidelines", and don't be fooled by the words of "firecrackers prevent infection, smoking can disinfect" and "biological warfare" that peddle conspiracy theories; More rational, not blind and not panic, obey the control arrangement of epidemic prevention, and try to avoid becoming a link of cross infection... These are the "value consciousness" that individuals should have.

When countless individuals can reasonably adjust their behaviors during the epidemic prevention period in accordance with the scientific spirit and civic quality, the weight of the whole society to defeat the epidemic will be greater, the cost will be lower, and the resulting increase in public interest will also give everyone more sense of security.

What viruses challenge is the response system of the whole society. There is no exception in this response system. At present, there are still many uncertainties in the spread of the virus and the development of the epidemic situation. But what can be determined is that whether individuals or relevant departments and institutions, they should make more "advance" and redundant preparations in response, less blind optimism and fluke, more cooperation, openness, and less self-reliance. In this way, people will be more calm and the fight against disease will become more predictable. In the final analysis, the more scientific spirit and civic quality are, the more weight will be added to the fight against the epidemic.
