Alert level raised to 5, the response measures should also be a corresponding upgrade? A Beijing Hospital, School of Public Health and Huang Jian-start an interview with reporters are holding a positive attitude, but also pointed out that the eyes fixed on the adequacy of pharmaceutical preparations, vaccines, When can I developed, for the prevention of major global epidemic is a foolish way!
The face of all the swine flu and other pandemic outbreak, the scientific method is “using traditional public health methods and non-high-tech means to deal with.” Huang Chien-only a little excited to say that these days I have received a number of interviews, many asked our reporter up a reserve of flu drugs, masks, protective clothing, such as it be enough? swine flu vaccine to start yet? “I said, this is not the focus, not to key on that.” Huang Chien-only example, saying that Premier Wen Jiabao on the swine flu deployed eight responses, only the seventh one is talking about drugs and other materials preparation, others are saying that the traditional public health approach to deal with the outbreak.
”I think the central measures taken in this outbreak is very right, the lessons learned when SAS no longer respond to vaccines as one of the main method.” Huang Chien-only introduction, SAS, the bird flu, China has spent a great energy, put a lot of financial resources to develop vaccines, but until now has not developed them.
”Responding to the epidemic, to consider the main drugs are very stupid!” Yellow Jianshi, said developed countries such as Canada, a forecast statistics, at least six months time to develop a vaccine to meet the 20 million population, China has 1.3 billion people imagine about by the vaccine feasible? On the contrary, if the money used to develop vaccines for use in trying to figure out the spread of scientific knowledge to tell the people the knowledge and prevention, education, people wash their hands, less crowding together, accompanied by close monitoring, strengthening the border quarantine, to prevent the source of the disease in China, this is the best prevention methods.
Attachment: State Council on the prevention and control of swine influenza demands do eight major areas of work:
