In a March 13 interview, Valance, the U.K. government’s chief scientific adviser, said the U.K.’s goal in the fight against the epidemic is to create “herd immunity” in society as a whole, rather than suppressing the outbreak altogether. What is herd immunity? Herd immunity means that the majority of people in a population are immune, so that epidemics can’t occur in that population. What percentage of the population needs to be infected for herd immunity? It is about 60 to 80 percent, which means that for a population of 60 million, more than 40 million people will be infected, and according to the WHO mortality rate, it is about 3.4 percent. In other words, it is intended to sacrifice one million to two million nationals in exchange for herd immunity, so as to protect the whole country. This is a very incredible idea, leaving the elderly and the immunocompromised completely out of the picture. It is a surrender to the disease, and the consequences are unimaginable if it is done. It would not only put the people of the country in a state of panic and crisis, but it would also create a crisis in the rest of the world, causing other countries to shut down their dealings with them. Not to mention the question of whether it will work or not, but whether the supply of material and energy will hold out? Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of the academic journal The Lancet and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and of the Academy of Medical Sciences, took to social media to voice his opinion on the British government’s approach: “This is another major mistake. The UK’s response needs to learn from the experiences of China and Italy and not just be based on what is happening in the UK at the moment. It is simply unbelievable that the government seems to be ignoring the most important evidence from elsewhere.” In an interview with WHO spokesman Jasarevic, who was asked what countries experiencing a surge in cases should do, he emphasized: No country can use ‘no way back’ as an excuse to give up on itself. Many countries are going through the same test that China has gone through before. China, South Korea, Singapore and other countries have approaches that others can take into account. At a time when most countries around the world are still on the defensive and a vaccine has yet to be developed, the UK’s decision to ‘herd immunity’ may affect not just the health of the British people, but the safety of human lives globally. In the worst case scenario, the efforts of some countries will be wasted, including China. The right way to boost immunity: At this point, the nation’s fight against the virus, in addition to cooperating with the national policy, should actively boost their own immunity. Chen Huan, Director of Weight Loss and Diabetic Surgery Health Management at Dr. Yodo Group, reminds us to do the following: 1. Do more aerobic exercise. Proper exercise can enhance the body’s immune system, and immunity is the most powerful weapon against the virus. 2, early to bed and early to rise. High-quality sleep can promote the body to produce sleep factor, strengthen the detoxification ability of the liver. 3, balanced diet. Protein can promote the synthesis of antibodies, fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and minerals can improve the body’s immune function. 4, reasonable weight loss. Obese people belong to the group of low immunity, for obese people, weight loss is the most suitable way to improve immunity.
