[Article] The success of the Chinese epidemic

[leon0516]

The success of the Chinese epidemic is not only because China has always been an important participant and contributor to the global health cause, but also because fighting the epidemic is relevant to every country. We believe that relying on the masses of the people, relying on institutional advantages, scientific prevention, and precise implementation of policies, China is fully capable of winning this epidemic prevention and control battle.

China is the world's largest industrial country and a veritable "world factory".

China is the world's largest industrial country and a veritable "world factory". Judging from the expansion of China's mask production capacity, China's mobilization and production capacity are terrifying, which is probably one of the reasons why the United States is trying to suppress China.
The superiority of the socialist system guarantees the country to concentrate its efforts on major events. When the West is still arguing with or without masks, China's epidemic situation has basically been controlled, and even most of the global epidemic prevention materials have been supplied.

If you are prepared and plan for an event ...you will be prepared for it ...while the rest of the world suffer... then supply products which are required ... so you can rip a hole in their as$$ while making billions ... well done ... i wish i could be so heartless to make a buck.

Healthcare Facilities and Medical Team Preparations

Given the trend of daily increase within the number of reported cases in China in January 2020, it had been a transparent sign for the govt that patients would soon overwhelm the country’s hospitals. like the Xiaotangshan Hospital that was built during the SARS outbreak to alleviate the overstressed medical system, China decided to duplicate the old experience and immediately started building new hospitals in Wuhan and preparing the available ones to receive COVID-19 patients. the choice was made on January 24 to create Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan city, a brand-new facility that's fully equipped and has the capacity to treat 1,000 COVID-19 patients directly. The building of the 269,000-square-foot hospital was completed within 10 days and began receiving patients on February 3. During an equivalent period, the Leishenshan Hospital project with a 1,500-bed capacity was announced and completed on February 5.

Xiaotangshan was the model for the new coronavirus hospitals built, but some notable differences in China’s actions are often seen. the primary is that the decision time for building the hospitals as Xiaotangshan construction began 6 months after the announcement of the SARS outbreak while Huoshenshan Hospital construction started but 2 months after the reporting of COVID-19 cluster cases and just days after the seriousness of the outbreak became clear. Secondly are the larger construction areas with strategic locations and bigger capacities to accommodate patients within the new hospitals. Many other hospitals, medical centers, and quarantine facilities were built also across the country to accommodate all patients. As many of the deaths were from the older age groups, China focused on building special centers to treat old and critically ill patients where the principle of “Four Concentrations” was implemented with attention on concentrating on the patients, doctors , resources, and treatment .

As for the healthcare team, quite 40,000 healthcare workers were deployed and medical resources were mobilized from across the country to support the response in Wuhan . additionally , China’s National Health Commission worked on surveillance of COVID-19 among healthcare workers, revision of protection standards and specifications, and strengthening prevention and control measures against the disease in hospitals. thanks to all of those measures being taken, transmission within healthcare settings doesn't appear to be a serious transmission feature of COVID-19 in China, unlike in SARS and MERS outbreaks where the bulk of cases were healthcare-associated transmissions
