Zhong Nanshan's latest analysis does not advocate long-term masking, except in these cases
Academician Zhong Nanshan"Shock grenades": The long-term mask debate and the game of public health.
Under the haze of the new crown epidemic, we seem to live under a huge mask, which has not only become our safety guarantee, but also a necessity of our life. However, just when we are accustomed to the existence of masks and regard them as the last line of defense against the virus, Academician Nanshan's remarks are like a shock bomb, completely subverting our cognition. He, a medical champion who is respected by the people of the whole country as "Dinghai Shen Needle", threw out an astonishing argument in his public speech - he does not advocate wearing masks for a long time!
The proposition of this point of view has undoubtedly sparked a heated debate among the public. On social **, in the circle of friends, and even on the streets, people are discussing this topic. Some people agree with Academician Nanshan's view that long-term wearing of masks will pose a potential threat to physical health;There are also those who disagree, arguing that masks are still an important tool to protect themselves and others in the current epidemic situation.
In the face of this controversy, we need to think rationally and go deep into this issue. First of all, wearing a mask for a long time can indeed bring some health problems. On the one hand, masks are easy to breed bacteria in a humid environment, which poses a threat to healthOn the other hand, wearing a mask for a long time can also increase the burden on the respiratory system, especially for people who are physically weak.
However, we cannot ignore the severity of the pandemic. While vaccinations have been rolled out globally, the risk of virus mutation remains. In this context, wearing a mask still plays an indispensable role as a simple and effective protective measure. In addition, for those in high-risk areas, wearing masks is a necessity to protect their own lives and the lives of others.
Therefore, in the face of Academician Nanshan's views, we need to look at this issue comprehensively and objectively. While we continue to advance vaccination, we cannot ignore the role of masks in protection. At the same time, we also need to raise public health awareness and strengthen health education, so that people can understand the health problems that may be caused by long-term mask wearing, and take corresponding preventive measures.
In short, Academician Nanshan's remarks have triggered us to think about the issue of wearing masks for a long time. In the face of the epidemic, we need a scientific and rational attitude, not only to pay attention to the protective effect of masks, but also to ignore the health problems they may bring. Only by tackling these issues in a comprehensive and balanced manner can we better protect ourselves and others and meet the ultimate victory of the pandemic.
