"Civets? What is this? Fan Heng listened. A little dazed."

For Fan Heng's rule-abiding work, he is down-to-earth and serious. And there are no special fetishes for people. The civet cat is indeed a little farther away from him.

Therefore, when Fan Wuxian told him that the genetic research institute of Fan's Investment Group had the coronavirus on the civet cat, it was difficult for Fan Heng to establish an intuitive impression for a while, and he did not know what kind of animal this civet cat was, which sounded like a ground mouse.

"It's not a ground mouse, it's a feline." Fan Wuxian explained.

The northerners eat this thing very little, but in the southern area, civet meat has always been regarded as a rare mountain delicacies and nourishing products, and is respected as a mountain treasure, known as the delicious civet in the mountains, the good white toad fish in the water, this thing belongs to the fur beast, the skin can be made into fur, it is one of the traditional bulk export furs.

The needle hairs of civet cats are used as raw materials for making high-end brushes and brushes, and they are rare high-grade raw materials in the production of cosmetics. It is also a good medicine for scalds.

In recent years, the phenomenon of eating civets has intensified in some areas of China, and fresh civets have become best-selling goods in the market, and the price has been rising. Five years ago, it was about 40 yuan per kilogram of civet meat, but this year, it has risen to 200 yuan per kilogram of civet meat.

At this price, the price of a live civet can be as high as 1,000 yuan, and the lucrative profits have led to the flourishing of poaching and selling civet cats in various places. Fan Heng said with some emotion.

Even in the Guangzhou area, not everyone can often eat civet cats, which are expensive wild animals, you can imagine that the people who were initially infected with the ** virus are basically some people with some status, and this well-known singer who died of pneumonia is rumored to be one of the first patients to be infected in China.

In fact, the diagnosis of ** is relatively late, and it cannot be denied that in some areas where medical conditions cannot be met, if these patients are treated as ordinary pneumonia, it is likely to delay the disease, and then lead to lung failure and death in a short time. These cases may not be counted.

In other words, the earliest ** cases in China that have been counted so far are not necessarily the real earliest ** cases.

The Genomics Research Institute, a subsidiary of Fan's Investment Group, has not officially surfaced, and in the past, it was only doing some work such as improving seed and colored cotton. Although it is said that it is also engaged in genetic research, it has never announced the results of research recommendations. This time, under the guidance of Fan Wuji, the genes in the civet cats were compared with the virus genes in the patients, and this conclusion was reached.

Under the influence of Fan's Investment Group, various medical research institutions have become interested in civet cats, after verification and analysis. It is true that many civet cats have components in their bodies that are consistent with the genes of the ** virus. The **virus in the civet cat's body has a high degree of homology with the **virus in humans, and the **virus isolated from the civet cat's gene sequence is becoming more and more human.

According to this present, experts appealed. In the face of **, the people can neither take it lightly nor panic, they must rely on science and do not believe in feudal superstition. Do not believe rumors, and if you have abnormal symptoms such as fever, you should go to the hospital immediately.

At present, under the influence of the Genomics Research Institute of Fan's Investment Group and other institutions, we have identified the source of human infection in wild animals, among which civet cats are the main vectors of the virus.

According to the research data, the virus can exist in wild animals in different regions, and the virus can be transmitted to humans, through the gene sequencing analysis of the virus in the civet cat, it is now homologous to the virus in humans over 99.8%, which means that the virus in the wild animals can directly infect people.

The virus is excreted mainly from the feces of various wild animals, and its excretion is surprisingly stable in the environment, especially in wet and cold environments. It can take up to several days, and in the dry state, the feces can turn into dust and be inhaled to cause infection.

**The news that the virus came from wild animals immediately caused great public concern.

Scientists in Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other places have also confirmed that the coronavirus that introduced the ** came from wild animals such as civets. They not only isolated the sample virus from the civet specimens, but also determined that the **virus of the civet cats has extremely high homology with the human ** virus.

But there were also different opinions on this conclusion, and soon after, the Agricultural University announced it. They tested more than 70 civet cat samples in Guangdong, Beijing and other places, and the results showed that none of these wild and farmed civet cats carried the virus.

This news leaves everyone at a loss. Why are some viruses detected in civet specimens and some not? Is it the civet cat that infects humans, or does humans infect civet cats? In addition to civet cats, do other wild animals also have ** virus? Even if it is related to civets or other animals, how exactly is it transmitted?

All of this is not clear yet, therefore. Most scientists believe that there is no sufficient evidence that the time is from civets or other wild animals.

In this regard, Fan Wuxian said that it is a good thing to have controversy, and science has always been in controversy. Especially for a new acute infectious disease like **, people's understanding of it has just begun, and it is all the more necessary to encourage free discussion of different opinions to pursue new knowledge and get closer to the truth.

For example, if the pathogen of ** is chlamydia, if no one puts forward a different opinion, how can they find other pathogens?

Variants of the coronavirus have emerged as a pathogen. It has made a big step forward in people's understanding of **, and at the same time raised many new questions. For example, how are coronavirus variants formed and where do they come from? The study of ** and wildlife is precisely to solve this mystery.

There is reason to believe that through the argument of different opinions. On the basis of further experimental research, scientists will eventually solve this mystery.

However, in an interview with the media, Fan Wuxian also said very earnestly that as a citizen. In addition to pinning high hopes on scientific progress, perhaps it is more important to reflect on the relationship between man and animals, and indeed the natural world as a whole.

"Regardless of the conclusion of the dispute with civets. It is certain that some of the diseases of humans come from animals. Not to mention the Black Death, which claimed tens of millions of lives, today's avian flu, mad cow disease, and especially AIDS, which people talk about

Continent, a force has been confirmed to come from animals. The **virus of civet cats and humans** diseases, more than 99 homologies of the mouth, as well as some epidemiological data, also suggest that we may have ** from animals.

Fan Wuxian said when he faced the camera. We can't blame the animals for this, we can only blame ourselves. Because it is our human activities that upset the balance between man and nature, man and animal. The ancients said that people were born with the qi of heaven and earth, and the law of the four seasons was completed. Man is originally a child of nature, a part of nature, an animal. However. Because we are too arrogant, we think that we can do whatever we want and conquer nature, but we end up planting a curse. Engels warned us more than 100 years ago not to revel in the triumph over nature, but to be wary of nature's retribution. Some old diseases are re-encompassing, and some new ones are born. It is the punishment that nature punishes us. Be kind to nature. To be kind to animals is to be kind to us as human beings. ”

As for some other points of view, such as: Why is Mr. in Guangdong? Because Cantonese people like to eat wild meat, and the virus comes from wild animals, but what is passed on to civet cats, it is not clear, only know that civets are transmitted to humans, civets are easy to be infected, when people and poisonous civets are in close contact, such as slaughtering, processing, transportation, breeding, sales, trafficking, etc., there is a great chance of being infected with the virus.

After the conclusion of the Genomics Research Institute of Fan's Investment Group, it was immediately corroborated by experts from all walks of life, although some people, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, said that they could not agree with such a view, but it was difficult for them to take the lead. The Guangdong provincial government immediately convened an emergency meeting to strengthen market management of high-risk wildlife and prohibit the sale, sale, slaughter and consumption of civet cats, so as to cut off the most critical chain of infection.

After calming down, the media came out with a few articles that were in line with Fan Wuzhi's point of view, believing that in the past few years, a variety of new high-risk infectious diseases such as ** have been staged at home and abroad, what is the reason?

The big reason lies in the overexploitation and overuse of the natural environment by human beings. Because there is a problem of ecological balance between human beings, nature and animals. After breaking this balance, human beings will be retaliated, and high-risk infectious diseases like **, if humans do not slaughter and eat wild animals, and the well water does not interfere with river water, there is no possibility of this disease.

From the perspective of human beings' own reasons, the living environment of human beings has changed greatly compared with their predecessors. With the development of urbanization, transportation, and the deepening of state-to-state exchanges. The possibility that a virus could be carried from China to Canada can also be seen as two sides of modern civilization.

For now, the country already has an instant messaging system and guidelines for the prevention and control of major epidemics, which is a great step forward. From the response to ** and other public health events, people have also learned from experience and improved the emergency response system, which shows that human beings have great initiative.

If there is something worthy of improvement and improvement, first, it is that public awareness should be raised. Vigilance should also be regularly educated, not because the epidemic has gradually been controlled, we should not take it lightly, and we must be alert to the danger of certain viruses. Clause:. The construction of the entire emergency response network should also be strengthened. The construction of networks at the grassroots level in villages and towns is quite important. Because some cases are often easily ignored at the bottom level, and upward reporting is easy to be delayed, the network can be built to make information transmission more accurate and timely.

In fact, since the ** raging, it has aroused the public's awareness of hygiene and health. But the media also reminded everyone that after the incident, it is easy for people to forget to teach. Like avian flu, Chinese like to eat live chickens, but these chickens have not been tested, and there is a potential danger of virus infection.

It is important for the public to improve their knowledge, and many infectious diseases are mainly caused by personal hygiene.

**After the attack, the whole, the concept of life in the society has changed very well, before eating, karao, now people are pursuing more spiritual consumption, pay attention to health, fitness, sports these began to become popular, mass sports have explosive growth, which is very gratifying.

There is also a physical and psychological sequelae that ** brings to people are also very significant. Naturally, it doesn't have much to do with ordinary people, but it should still have a great impact on those who have been sick and those who have been isolated.

People began to change their lifestyles, knowing not to eat wild meat, to respect the right of wild animals to live, it should be said that the life of the first has made a great change in people's understanding of health

Most of the media believe that at the beginning of the explosion, the relevant departments did not announce the truth in time, which caused very serious consequences. It is understandable that the country has lagged behind in epidemic prevention and control, Chinese do not like to publicize family ugliness, like some infectious diseases, they do not like to talk about it, they like to hide it, but this is indeed a very stupid method.

Later, the central government took decisive action to remove the heads of departments that had failed to handle affairs, and the timely release of information was able to show the integrity of the government and greatly improve the image of the government.

Regarding this point, Fan Wuxian also mentioned when talking to the new prime minister, "As far as my personal understanding is concerned, the so-called stability is to have good transparency, so that the people can be more informed and learn more." Generally speaking, the more transparent the government is about the epidemic, the more stable the public, and honesty is always the best policy** for our country and society as a whole, and on another level, it is also an opportunity. I've always been in favor of the "Humanity Index" to examine social exhibitions. The four fats include the people's health, education, and per capita concave three aspects, and it is not enough to just look at the concave exhibition. It is still necessary to pay special attention to people's livelihood issues. ”

Through the close contact of the recent period of childhood, as well as the various contributions made by Fan's Investment Group in the process of fighting against the world, the new prime minister's view of Fan Wuxian has also changed greatly, from the previous unpleasant to look at him, to the current nothing to talk about, which is also an unexpected change for Fan Wuxi.

It should be said that such a change is very good for Fan Wuxian personally. Jian Shu is a different body clam, and it is good to read and go outside to the cat without pop-ups
