After all, the salmon on the cutting board can't talk

I didn't want to talk about the epidemic anymore. But the rebound of the epidemic in Beijing really made me spit out a few words.

I don't know if people who have experienced SARS still remember the mythical beast - the civet. When I was a child at the time, I really thought that the disease was caused by everyone eating civet cats. It was not until later that the "genetic weapon" conspiracy theory entered the teaching content of the national defense class (the teachers of the military academies spoke it out with great fanfare), and it was not until I was straight Knowing that the civet cats may be wrongly blamed is because U.S. imperialism will not die--although this conspiracy theory is more stupid than the civet cats.

Later, for the outbreak in Wuhan, it is well known that the Huanan Seafood Market was the culprit. Although this time, no wild animal was taken out to take the blame, bats and seafood for a while. Now the evidence has been destroyed, and naturally there is no Investigate it. Anyway, what was said at that time was that it would not admit that there would be "human-to-human transmission", and it became clear to everyone later on.

This time, the animal lying on the gun, it is the turn of the salmon.

The logic is the same - animals can't speak anyway and are good helpers to take the blame. But the difference is that the pressure on salmon this time is far greater than that of civet cats and bats in the seafood market.

There are many political tasks for Comrade Salmon, at least the following three points.

First, it must wholeheartedly prove that the wise decision of the CPC Central Committee is correct, that it was Comrade Salmon who brought the virus from the Western hostile forces to China—note that it was not brought back to China, and it is not allowed to say that China is the source of the virus! Second, it must prove that the previous cases were cleared to zero. The supreme instruction said that it must be cleared if it is to be cleared, and it must be cleared if it is not cleared. Anyway, the glorious victory of clearing is right. Third, it bears the burden of proving the barbarism of the barbarians - it's all because of the habit of eating raw food brought by you Japanese, and it's all because of you Norwegians who are so gutted that they have tormented the salmon with scars all over the body to get a lot of bacteria!

There was a counter-attack in the Northeast before, it doesn't matter, as long as it is imported cases (I still don't dare to say that the culprit is Russia). After all, in the context of war and epidemic in a great country, the imported cases are those unconscious compatriots who have been poisoned thousands of miles away, destroying our hard-won glorious victory. It is possible, even if it is extrajudicial.

But this time, there is really no way for Beijing to have imported cases logically. What should we do? It happened to be found that the salmon in Xinfadi had a virus, and then the madness suggested that it was the salmon that was to blame, and a wave of forcibly imported cases came, although the infected person was a fish, or a dead fish on the cutting board.

It's a pity that this is so forcible that even the official media invited experts to "refute the rumor", saying that there is no evidence that salmon can be infected with the new crown virus. However, this does not mean that the political task of salmon cannot be completed. Although it will not get sick, it still has the possibility of carrying the virus, and it can still accomplish its political task well.

Well, let's not talk about salmon in the end. I believe that people with common sense can distinguish whether salmon has a high probability of being transmitted to humans or a high probability of human-to-human transmission. (Of course, it's just a probability, I can't rule out the possibility that salmon is the source of infection.)

I just want to ask a few questions about the emergence of local cases in Beijing.

Excuse me, was it difficult to not be in a hurry to declare victory and shout all to zero? Is it difficult to hold a skeptical heart in extraordinary times? Is it difficult to admit that there is a problem with this quick victory theory? Is it hard to honestly take international surveys? Is it difficult to acknowledge the reality that government capacity is limited? Is it difficult to directly remove Secretary Cai from Beijing without looking for low-level officials to take the blame? Is it difficult to take ten thousand steps back and say "I'm sorry, we were careless"? Taking ten thousand steps back, is it difficult to admit that "people are not as good as God, we tried our best"?

No, it might be too hard to say that. Any one point is enough to damage the image of the great, glorious and correct core statue - it really makes people see what the "political task" of the core arrangement is above all else.

Some people always say that the Chinese government is a government with unlimited responsibility, and once the epidemic cannot be controlled, it will endanger its rule, while a democratic government has limited responsibility. All I can say is that this assertion is only half right. To be sure, the Chinese government can certainly control the epidemic at all costs, and all must make way for the number of infected people and the number of people who have died from the virus.

But note that that metric is a number, not a person.

Therefore, all those who are not counted are the price that can be sacrificed : because other patients who cannot seek medical treatment in the city can be the price, the closed store can be the price, and the unemployment of those who are not included in the urban employment population can be the price. Diaspora can be a price...

In short, the number is the "main contradiction", as long as the number of cases becomes "0", everything can be sacrificed. But at the same time, the economy still has to work, and people still have to eat. We can't keep going like this. We all know that. Then, you have to protect the economy and employment, and you have to clear it, what should you do? It is only artificially cleared quickly, and quickly announce the victory of resumption of work and production. What if there are more cases? Throwing the blame to the West, spreading fake news to catch the wind, making crazy hints without evidence, and adding shameless self-media to say that the wind is the rain and the infinite magnification. Even if the truth comes out, who will care about what happened at that time?

At the end, take out the golden sentence with muddy mud - let the past pass! Then go home and happily fry shredded potatoes...
