In 2009, with the increasingly severe situation of influenza A prevention and control, all food, drugs and capital that can be related to anti-influenza A are ...... Without exception, there has been a surge, and all kinds of "anti-nail products" have suddenly sold well. From Taobao, you can find that there are tens of thousands of products related to the prevention of influenza A, from sachets, traditional Chinese medicine, garlic, thermometers, purifiers to all kinds of influenza, rich in variety, and even ordinary foods such as seafood and red dates have shown the slogan of "enhancing immunity and preventing influenza A".

In 2009, due to the influence of influenza A, thermometers, masks, anti-inflammatory drugs and other medical and health products in Beijing continued to sell well, hand sanitizers, humidifiers, air purifiers, etc. were also stained with the concept of "anti-influenza A" became popular, and even online shopping was following the "muffled voice".

If you go to the pharmacy casually, you will find that the ordinary mercury thermometer that originally cost two or three yuan a piece has now generally doubled in value, and some pharmacies even sell it for 10 yuan a piece, and it is often out of stock. Electronic and infrared thermometers, which have always been rarely cared about, are also selling very well. The pharmacy has even held a drug fair, and the bustling flow of people in the store is comparable to that of the supermarket, and many customers are using cards to consume, and there are hundreds of thousands of swipes.

"It's not often that medical supplies sell so well." A pharmacy operator admits that even if the first flu passes, the pharmaceutical business will become more and more prosperous because people are more health-conscious.

A mask wholesaler said: "In the winter, I used to sell at most 30 or 40 masks a day, but now I can sell 1,200 masks a day." Last year, I only wholesaled 100,000 units a year, and now it is easy to wholesale tens of thousands a day, and this week's sales can catch up with last year's total. If there was no 'A stream', I wouldn't dare to ship such a large number of goods. ”

Although the damage caused by the flu epidemic to the domestic market is still innumerable, the online economy has unexpectedly gained more opportunities for development. The overall revenue of China's B2B e-commerce operations in the third quarter of this year reached 1.71 billion yuan, an increase of 23.9% year-on-year and 9.6% quarter-on-quarter.

Some experts pointed out that during the SARS epidemic in 2003, the business volume of most e-commerce websites in China rose rapidly, which led to the rise of domestic e-commerce from the trough and gradually matured. The rampant influenza will cause more people to try new ways of shopping, and a variety of so-called "stay-at-home economy", including online shopping, will naturally grow and develop. The H1N1 influenza will be another opportunity for e-commerce to flourish, and 2009 may become the year of e-commerce applications.

In the capital market, the concept of a stream of stocks was popular, in October 2009 Shenwan 81 secondary sub-industries, the biological products industry sector rose to the second place, an increase of 27.66%, in the selection of related stocks, relative to the tour capital is keen on the concept of a stream stocks, institutional funds are more favored in Hualan Biology, Yunnan Baiyao and other high-performance stocks.

Behind all these madness, there seems to be a common reason - "anti-influenza".

With the increasingly severe situation of the prevention and treatment of influenza A, all food, drugs, and capital that can be related to the anti-influenza A ...... Without exception, there has been a surge, and all kinds of "anti-nail products" have suddenly sold well. From Taobao, you can find that there are tens of thousands of products related to the prevention of influenza A, from sachets, traditional Chinese medicine, garlic, thermometers, purifiers to all kinds of influenza, rich in variety, and even ordinary foods such as seafood and red dates have shown the slogan of "enhancing immunity and preventing influenza A".

The full name of "influenza A" is HIN1 influenza. Influenza A had a huge impact on the world's public health and epidemic prevention system in 2009. The emergence of this virus has caused the crazy behavior of the above-mentioned people, whether it is food and clothing, as long as it is related to anti-A flu, without exception, it has been hyped by people, so people have nicknamed this crazy behavior "A influenza economy".

The root cause of the influenza A economy is people's fear of influenza A, and then a large number of anti-influenza medicines and food, which in turn make these commodities have a small supply and demand. For example, there were only 100 boxes of medicines on the market that were enough for people to treat their diseases. But now people are frantically buying medicines to fight influenza A. In this way, the supply of drugs naturally exceeds the demand, and the price is naturally high.

There is a striking similarity in history, only six years ago, in the fight against SARS, people learned all kinds of "panacea". Not to mention that the drugs and equipment for the prevention and treatment of "SARS" are "in demand", and it was rumored in a certain place that there was a "medicine" in the home remedy that was white radish, so the white radish in a certain city rose to 10 yuan and 1 kilogram overnight.

In Guangzhou, where SARS is more serious, not only are masks out of stock, but even a bottle of white vinegar with "special effects" is sold for more than 100 yuan. For this reason, the relevant state departments issued a notice at that time, requiring that they should not take advantage of the opportunity of preventing and controlling "SARS" to arbitrarily raise prices. It is conceivable that if it is not strictly controlled, the situation of "the price of white radish selling meat" may be staged today. If the prices of daily necessities such as radishes and cabbage skyrocket, it will inevitably cause the people to innocently increase their heavy economic burden in addition to the mental pressure of the "first flu".

So, how should people deal with the first-class economy?

1. Don't blindly follow the trend of investment. With the gradual rise of the second wave of the influenza A epidemic, the concept stocks of influenza A have also launched a new round of market. China's stock market has always been the subject of speculation, and now many listed companies or institutions are taking advantage of the capital market's enthusiasm for the concept of the first two rounds of the first stream to fish in troubled waters. For example, some companies announced that their products were related to the prevention and control of the influenza A epidemic, or that they could "imitate" the production of anti-influenza A drugs, and the stock price began to soar. Of course, we cannot deny that the prospects of biomedical stocks are huge, capital is enthusiastic, and unrelated companies also want to get a dip. However, small and medium-sized investors must see clearly, correct their mentality, and do not blindly become the last relay. The dynamic P/E ratio of some first-class concept stocks once exceeded the price-earnings ratio of the GEM when it opened, reaching triple digits, and in the words of one industry insider: "The current performance valuation means that the first-class theme needs to be speculated for 30 years." Therefore, for investors, especially small and medium-sized retail investors, in the face of the slightly crazy first-class concept stocks, they still need to give themselves a preventive shot and act prudently.

2. Don't hoard too much medicine. Due to the influence of influenza A, the sales volume of many anti-cold drugs has risen one after another, especially during the autumn and winter seasons, the weather alternates between cold and hot, and many consumers have begun to buy anti-cold drugs to actively prevent colds. However, many consumers buy cold medicines, not only to treat diseases, but also to prevent diseases, taking Hangzhou Wulin Pharmacy as an example, the sales of anti-cold virus drugs alone have increased by 66%, and some preventive Chinese patent medicines are also selling well. In the case of hot sales of cold medicines, consumers should be careful not to blindly hoard medicines or take cold medicines indiscriminately. If you are afraid of getting the flu, the best way is to get the flu vaccine, in addition, you should also pay attention to food hygiene, once you have headache, fever, cough, general malaise and other symptoms, you should immediately go to the hospital, and under the guidance of a doctor for treatment and medication. Some young people are afraid of trouble, and once they have uncomfortable symptoms, they will take anti-flu drugs casually, which is not only bad for their health, but also easy to develop drug resistance.

3. Eliminate panic. The peak season of influenza is generally in autumn and winter, and with the increasing number of people infected with influenza A and the emergence of deaths from influenza A, the epidemic prevention work is particularly grim, and even caused panic among people for a time. In addition, WHO predicts that the two years from 2009 to 2011 may be the peak period of global influenza A, and 80% of the population will be infected.

In fact, in this case, we should maintain a good attitude, take a correct view of the flu, respond positively, insist on taking effective and feasible protective measures in daily life and work, eliminate panic, and understand that influenza A is preventable and treatable, only in this way can we protect the health of ourselves and our families from the invasion of HIN1 influenza.

The root cause of the influenza A economy is people's fear of influenza A, and then a large number of anti-influenza medicines and food, which in turn make these commodities have a small supply and demand. For example, there were only 100 boxes of medicines on the market that were enough for people to treat their diseases. But now people are frantically buying medicines to fight influenza A. In this way, the supply of drugs naturally exceeds the demand, and the price is naturally high.
