It's just that the situations happening around the world are different.
For example, a disease broke out in the British Isles. Then people started dying in London! The British government just messed it up... and proposed a time-honored response strategy, which is 'herd immunity'!
The main theme is a person who doesn’t care about the life or death of the people!
The concept of "herd immunity" may seem lofty, but it is actually "natural selection and survival of the fittest".
When a new virus emerges, the entire population does not have a vaccine, and a very small number of people may have innate immunity. If the spread of the virus is not curbed and the entire population is exposed to the virus, it is impossible to have herd immunity. What will happen is
: Those who are infected will die, and those who are infected will become immune and continue to live. This phenomenon is the "survival of the fittest by natural selection" proposed by the famous British scientist Darwin.
When a person gets an acute infectious disease, in most cases there are only two outcomes: death or immunity. The former is easy to understand, and the latter means that the infected person's immune system "recognizes" the pathogen and will encounter it next time
Otherwise, you will not be infected. Only in a few cases, acute infectious diseases will transform into chronic infectious diseases. For example, HIV virus is reverse transcribed into DNA and then integrated into the host genome.
in the liver, or the hepatitis B virus enters the liver cells and transforms into "covalently closed circular DNA" (cccDNA) and hides in the host's nucleus. Of course, these two situations are relatively rare. The two outcomes are death and immunity.
It doesn't happen immediately after infection, but it takes a while. During this period, the infected person becomes the source of infection, responsible for helping the pathogen find the next host.
Here we must first introduce a concept: the basic infection number, the scientific name is "R0". R0 is the number of people who can be infected by each infectious disease in a natural state.
This number reflects the infectivity of the disease. In theory, as long as R0>1, this infectious disease will continue to spread. Imagine that in a small, closed human community, when a certain pathogen spreads to everyone, it
There is only one way left, and that is extinction. In fact, this is the stage of extinction in primitive society.
The ultimate fate of most human pathogens. When the population expanded rapidly and cities finally appeared on the earth, the situation changed. Because of the large population, babies were born in cities every moment, which was equivalent to providing a supply of pathogens.
With a steady stream of new hosts, pathogens finally see hope of immortality.
In this case, the outcome of each pathogen depends on its own R0 value and the population of this closed community. According to calculations, even for measles with an R0 value as high as 12-18, if a closed community has
If the total population is less than 500,000, it cannot survive forever. Unfortunately, as the city expands and the population
With the continuous expansion of human migration routes, most human infectious diseases can easily find new hosts and continue to spread among human groups. This was the living situation of humans before the birth of modern medicine. Humans at that time were not microorganisms.
Master, both parties maintain an equal relationship of mutual struggle and mutual use. On the one hand, after the pathogens continue to infect humans,
Becoming more and more mild. On the other hand, the human immune system is becoming stronger and stronger under the selective pressure of various pathogens. After infection, the probability of acquiring lifelong immunity after a minor illness continues to increase. This is why humans
The reason why this species can survive to this day. However, this natural process is inevitably accompanied by the death and elimination of the old, weak, sick and disabled. This is also the Darwinian biology.
An important manifestation of the theory of evolution. But it is precisely because of human evolution, especially the emergence of the humanitarian spirit, that it has completely changed mankind's attitude towards natural selection. The emergence of vaccines is a direct result of this change in attitude. In the 18th century,
A British doctor named Edward Jenner invented the cowpox vaccine, which completely changed the relationship between people and viruses.
A vaccine is essentially an inactivated (or attenuated) virus that is artificially spread among the population, allowing most people in the group to quickly gain immunity, thereby eliminating the virus' impact on humans.
"natural" selection. So, if 100% of people are vaccinated, can the spread of the virus be blocked? In fact, as long as there are enough people with immunity, infectious diseases spread through people will also
Die in constant "hitting the wall". We understand that "group immunity"
The concept of "epidemic" actually comes from describing the protective effect of vaccines. Everyone knows that vaccines can protect themselves from infection, but they are not very familiar with its effect in protecting other people from getting sick. Contagious diseases with strong transmissibility are not well understood.
In terms of diseases, the higher the proportion of vaccinated people in the group, the fewer opportunities for the disease to spread, and the chain of transmission is easily interrupted, forming a "barrel protection effect". Therefore, even those who have not been vaccinated will get the disease.
Corresponding protection, this is the group nature of the vaccine.
Therefore, one thing that is very different from what everyone knows about "herd immunity" is that it means that when the number of people immune to a disease reaches a certain threshold, the disease loses the ability to spread among the population, thus achieving the collective victory of mankind against the virus.
Of course, this is not the logic behind the leadership of the government.
They purely come from a statistical perspective and an economic interest perspective.
When you tell the Chinese people who have some sense of conscience about this "herd immunity", their reaction is: "Whether you can save it or not is one thing. What is your attitude if you don't save it at all? How can human lives be calculated in terms of money?"
Wrong, according to the logic of capitalism, human lives can be calculated in money.
The reason is very simple.
Assume that the general salary of a general job in a general capitalist society is X. (such as moving workers)
Then the wages of certain high-risk jobs (such as miners) with the same working hours and workload (such as miners) will be higher than
The difference between Y. A seemingly complex but actually simple mathematical model can calculate the general economic value of an average human life in a general capitalist society.
In fact, the governments of every capitalist country have done calculations. The British and American governments have a very precise number to know how much a human life costs. Suppose it is Z. And the value of this Z will depreciate, such as the disabled population who need social assistance.
, chronic patients who take up medical resources, and the elderly who need blood-sucking pensions, their values are relatively depreciated, or even negative. In a major disaster, if many people are going to die and rely on human lives, then the value of the working-age labor force
loss
The value of a devalued population - the value of a negative population is the economic loss of human life caused by a disaster. We assume that this loss is A. And if there is a large-scale national lockdown, closing schools, subsidizing the sick population, and subsidizing small and medium-sized enterprises,
The chief economists can calculate very clearly how much economic value will be lost if business activities are stopped. Let us assume that this loss is B.
From the perspective of capitalist logic, as long as A
Understand the logic of capitalism. Let’s see how reasonable, scientific and rational the “herd immunity” solution is!
80% of people only have cold symptoms, while only 13% of people have severe symptoms and 7% of people have severe symptoms. The mortality rate is only 2.3% (the UK estimates 1%). The current medical report is that only 0.2% of young people will
Death. The estimated number of deaths is 400,000-2.5 million. We calculate the median as 1 million. How many are lives worth Z? How many are devalued lives.
Among these millions, how many are valuable human lives, and how many are chronic patients who need to occupy medical resources and elderly people who need blood-sucking pensions? The chief scientists can accurately figure it out. Will this A be more effective than mass confinement?
Is the economic loss harmful? What’s more, the sacrificed negative leeks will harvest themselves. To “keeping clam and carrying on”, why do you want large-scale confinement? Is there something wrong with your mind?
Regarding, if our group is exempted, the harm to other countries is none of my business? What? Will the people react? You underestimate our propaganda machine. Even the intellectuals on the other side of the earth can be thoroughly washed by us.
.What? But the people will definitely not be able to bear it after experiencing death around them? At worst, replace the gambler Boris
That's all, he is just a puppet we use to gamble. He won Brexit. If he loses, he will be out of office at worst. In a democratic society, you are responsible for your own choices, and they will let you choose anyway. No
Let Boris vaccinate you. "Many people must be prepared to lose their loved ones."
This is the logic of capitalism.
There is no way, the disease this time came too strangely, without any signs.
At first, everyone thought it was a natural disaster.
But soon, the British Templars (a supernatural organization that appeared in Britain) discovered that this was not a natural disaster, but a purely man-made disaster.
Someone is spreading the plague.
But whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Dai Ying doesn't have the energy to care... Dai Ying has become like this in this time and space, who has the energy to care about it.
There is no other way but to ask for help.
It's a pity... Dai Ying still overestimated his international reputation.
As soon as Dai Ying's call for help was sent out.
The Gauls on the opposite side directly blocked the strait!
They even warned you that if you dare to cross the border, I will kill you!
This Dai Ying directly broke through the defense... It is true that Dai Ying is a poor family, but the world is changing so fast that they have no time to adapt.
You know, just a few years ago, Daiying was a popular target for all kinds of illegal immigrants. Daiying even withdrew from the European Union because of this incident. The reason was that the EU member states wanted to open their borders, which caused many illegal immigrants to flee.
Come to them!
Now that I'm fine, it's time to take my children to immigrate to other countries.
Originally, this was nothing. You must know that before the liberation, everyone was quite happy to accept immigrants from Taiwan. After all, they were high-quality immigrants. But it has been different in recent years. Everyone has closed their borders to immigrants, making it difficult for normal immigration...
This change made Dai Ying very hurt... You know, it was already very miserable when the sun never sets but now it turns into the sun, but now it has become disliked by everyone... It hurts your self-esteem too much.
Originally, Dai Ying was still accusing the Gauls internationally, but this accusation became even more outrageous, and other countries also made the same choice.
It’s one thing for people to hate dogs, but the other thing is that people don’t like diseases caused by dogs to spread to their own countries!
Of course, the most important thing is that other countries are not doing well at the moment.
For example, take the sworn enemy the Gauls.
Their largest city is now haunted every day!
That’s right, it’s haunted!
It's so fierce. As long as the sun doesn't shine in broad daylight, you can see the green sky above Paris!
All ghosts!
There is no way, who the hell says there is a huge corpse cave under Paris!
Paris, this romantic city known as the "City of Light", has rich history and cultural heritage, attracting countless tourists. But, did you know? Underground in this beautiful city, there is a fascinating place hidden under the ground.
Creepy secret: a huge underground tomb filled with people from all over the world
There are a total of six million bones from the period. These bones are neatly arranged on the wall, forming strange decorations, which form a strong contrast with the surrounding darkness and silence. This is the Paris Catacombs, a
The place known as the "Empire of Death". The history of the Paris Catacombs
Dating back to the fifteenth century, there were many limestone quarries in Paris, which provided raw materials for the construction of the city. These quarries gradually expanded underground, forming an intricate network of tunnels that covered the entire central area of Paris.
.However, over time, these quarried stones
The quarries were abandoned, and the lack of maintenance and supervision led to some accidents of ground subsidence and building collapse. In order to prevent greater disasters, King Louis XV ordered the inspection and consolidation of these quarries in 1774, and
A special agency was established to take charge of this work.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, cemeteries in Paris are also facing a serious problem: overcrowding. Due to the growth of the urban population and limited space, many cemeteries can no longer accommodate more people.
There are so many corpses that there are even corpses piled on the ground, the smell of corpses is permeated, and sewage seeps into other bad situations. The most serious of them is the Holy Spirit Cemetery in the Leale neighborhood, which is the oldest, largest, and busiest cemetery in Paris.
,
It has a history of nearly ten centuries. It is estimated that more than two million corpses are buried in this cemetery, including many victims of the Black Death and other infectious diseases. Not only do these corpses occupy a large amount of land, but they also contribute to
The surrounding environment and residents caused serious harm. On May 30, 1780, the basement of a resident next to Holy Spirit Cemetery suddenly collapsed, exposing a pile of rotting bones and foul-smelling liquid, triggering public panic and anger.
In order to solve this crisis, King Louis XVI ordered the closure of the Cemetery of the Holy Spirit in 1785 and moved all the bones inside to the Tomby-Issoire quarry, a quarry located south of Paris that had been abandoned for centuries.
Underground quarry. This work was carried out by the Paris Police Superintendent
Albert de Grave was in charge, and he commissioned an architect named Herbert Tibber to design and supervise the project. Tibber first cleared and strengthened the quarry, and then built a
A warning inscription was engraved on it: "Don't go any further! This is the empire of death."
Then, he began the work of transferring the bones, which was an arduous and mysterious process. Every night, a team of priests and workers set off from the Holy Spirit Cemetery along the road with carriages filled with bones.
The street covered with black cloth slowly drove to the entrance of the quarry.
There, they unloaded the bones, transported them underground on wheelbarrows, and then stacked them on the walls according to Tibber's design, forming various patterns and symbols. This work continued for more than two years, until 1787
On April 7, all the bones in Holy Spirit Cemetery were emptied.
It is estimated that by 1814, there were six million bones in the Paris Catacombs, occupying a small part of the underground tunnels. These bones come from different periods, classes, professions and beliefs, including nobles, commoners, monks,
Soldiers, artists, scientists, etc., they may have never met each other during their lifetime, but together they formed this huge ossuary after their death.
I thought it was nothing before, it is even a famous tourist attraction in Paris.
But recently, I don’t know what went wrong, and countless innocent souls suddenly emerged from the corpse cave!
