Novel coronavirus pneumonia was held at 15 o'clock in March 29th. The Global Forum on second new crowns and pneumonia was held at the same time. Seven top experts from home and abroad, including Zhang Wenhong and Li Lanjuan, analyzed the trend of COVID-19 and the strategies of epidemic prevention in various countries.
Several experts discussed whether to wear a mask when going out.
Lu Mengji, a professor at the Institute of Virology, School of medicine, Essen University, Germany, said that wearing masks is not only a medical and scientific problem, but has risen to a higher level of social identity. Lu Mengji pointed out that due to the very large public space in Germany, it is relatively easy for two people to maintain a distance of 1.5 meters and 2 meters, but it is relatively difficult in China.
Lu Mengji pointed out that if everyone uses masks, it will cause great waste. At present, it is relatively difficult for German citizens to buy masks because the government controls the supply of masks and does not want the public to hoard masks. As long as the German government believes that residents need to use masks, health institutions will issue them.
Lu Shan, a lifelong professor at the school of medicine of the University of Massachusetts, recognized this. Lu Shan said that there are quite different views on whether to wear masks in the East and the West. The main purpose of Chinese wearing masks is to protect themselves, while Westerners believe that sick people should wear masks to control the source of infection.
"Today, I discussed the issue of wearing masks with you. Only then did I know that there are no standard answers to many things in the world. This is the true meaning of life." Zhang Wenhong said.
