On Wednesday (January 17), Eastern Time, the market’s expectation of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut earlier this year was hit again, and the United States suffered a "double whammy" for the second consecutive day. The three major US stock indexes collectively closed down, and the Dow fell for three consecutive days.

　　At the close, the Dow fell 94.45 points, or 0.25%, to 37,266.67 points. The Nasdaq fell 88.73 points, or 0.59%, to 14,855.62 points. The S&P 500 fell 26.77 points, or 0.56%, to 4,739.21 points.

　　Overnight, the United States released the retail sales data known as "terror data". In December, retail sales in the United States rose by 0.6% month-on-month, the largest increase in three months, exceeding expectations, indicating that consumer spending is still strong, which further doubts whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates drastically.

　　After the data was released, the yield of 10-year US bonds continued to rise, rising by nearly 4 basis points to 4.102%, and finally closed at 4.105%, hitting a one-month high. The yield of two-year US bonds, which is more sensitive to the Fed’s policy interest rate, returned above 4.3% to close at 4.360%. This undoubtedly depressed the market’s risk appetite.

　　According to the CME Fed observation tool, the current market expects that the possibility of the Fed starting to cut interest rates in March is about 57%, and it was still above 60% the day before.

　　In terms of important news, Boeing passed the bad news again. On Wednesday, local time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was stranded in Davos due to a major failure of his Boeing plane and could not fly back to the United States as planned. In the US stock market, Boeing’s share price rose more than 1%, and it has fallen 22% so far this year. Earlier, Wells Fargo had downgraded Boeing’s stock rating to wait and see.

　　In addition, Buffett has a "big move", this time taking a fancy to the tourism economy. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway announced on Tuesday that it has acquired the remaining 20% equity of Pilot Travel Center, the largest travel service center operator in the United States, from the Haslam family, which has thus become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire. This further expands Berkshire Hathaway’s business map in the field of tourism services.

　　On the enterprise side, Samsung officially released the Galaxy S24 series, a new generation flagship smartphone, at the Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose, California, which started the first shot of mobile artificial intelligence (AI) in 2024.

　　It is reported that Samsung announced that it will cooperate with Google Cloud to empower Galaxy S24 series mobile phones with generative AI, which will bring the generative AI experience to Samsung’s mobile phone users. Samsung is the first Google Cloud partner to deploy mobile phones through Google Cloud using Gemini Pro and Imagen 2.

　　Previously, it was reported that Apple is expected to launch a generative AI tool in June this year, and this year may become the year when AI is integrated into mobile phones. However, Apple has recently suffered from headwinds. The antitrust lawsuit was first opened in March, and the court requested to stop selling watches with blood oxygen detection function.

　　US retail sales in December increased by 0.6% month-on-month, the largest increase in three months.

　　Retail sales growth in the United States accelerated again in December, indicating that consumer spending is still resilient and will continue to support the US economy. The swap contract shows that the probability of the Fed’s interest rate cut in March is expected to drop to about 50%.

　　Federal Reserve’s Beige Book: The economy in most areas has not changed, consumption is strong, and inflation has cooled down.

　　Since the last Beige Book was published, there has been little or no change in economic activities in most areas. Consumer spending is strong, but the labor market has turned cold. Many companies say that consumers’ price sensitivity is increasing. In most areas, enterprises are increasingly optimistic about the future.

　　Boeing’s serious failure caused Blinken to be trapped in Davos

　　On Wednesday, local time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was stranded in Davos due to a major failure of his Boeing plane and could not fly back to the United States as planned. This is the latest blow to Boeing’s once brilliant and now seriously damaged reputation. However, the Boeing plane that Blinken was scheduled to take was a modified 737 old model for military use, not a 737 MAX 9 with "major problems" recently.

　　Buffett once again shot big consumption! I took a fancy to the tourism economy this time.

　　Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway announced on Tuesday that it has acquired the remaining 20% equity of Pilot Travel Center, the largest travel service center operator in the United States, from the Haslam family, which has thus become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire, further expanding Berkshire Hathaway’s business map in the field of travel services.

　　Apple’s antitrust lawsuit was first opened in March, and the court asked to stop selling watches with blood oxygen detection function.

　　The US Department of Justice first filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple in March, accusing it of setting software and hardware restrictions on the iPhone and iPad to hinder the effective competition of competitors. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit refused to grant Apple a longer suspension of the import ban imposed by the US International Trade Commission (ITC), saying that Apple must stop selling smart watches with blood oxygen detection function.

　　Vision Pro will be launched soon, and the media will experience it in advance, but it can’t be worn for half an hour.

　　According to the evaluation of technology bloggers, Vision Pro is "the best of all similar devices tried in his career", but "it took half an hour to feel dizzy and sweaty" and "it took a long time to assemble".

　　BP plans to set up a technology center in India.

　　On January 17th, bp announced that it plans to establish a BP India Technology Solution Center in Pune, a city in western India. The center is expected to be put into use in the second quarter of 2024, and the first batch of recruitment positions was announced on December 1st, 2023.

In order to implement the provincial and municipal project of "Free Vaccination of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine for School-age Girls", Yichun Municipal Health and Health Commission, Municipal Education and Sports Bureau, Municipal Finance Bureau and Municipal Women’s Federation jointly issued a document. Since September 2023, Yichun Maternal and Child Health Hospital has provided assistance to female students (age defined as December 31, 2023) who are in junior high school, have not been vaccinated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are not over 14 years old.

HPV science popularization

What is HPV?

HPV is the abbreviation of human papillomavirus. There are many members in the HPV family, and a small part of them are closely related to malignant tumors, so they are called high-risk HPV. 99% of cervical cancer is caused by this virus. Vaccination of HPV vaccine can block the persistent infection of high-risk HPV, thus effectively reducing the incidence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. It is the only vaccine to prevent cancer in the world.

Why should I get HPV vaccine?

Cervical cancer is a "major killer" that seriously threatens women’s life and health, and it is the only cancer with definite cause at present, which is caused by persistent infection of high-risk HPV virus. According to statistics, there will be about 110,000 new cases and 60,000 deaths in China in 2020. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer in China is younger and rising. At present, the youngest cervical cancer patient is only 15 years old. However, because the cause is clear, cervical cancer can be prevented from the source by vaccination with HPV vaccine.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends girls aged 9-14 to be vaccinated with HPV vaccine, so as to get protection as soon as possible and effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. In 2023, the National Health and Wellness Commission, the Ministry of Education and other 10 ministries and commissions jointly issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Action Plan for Accelerating the Elimination of Cervical Cancer (2023-2030), which clearly defined the main objectives of "further improving the cervical cancer prevention and control service system, improving the comprehensive prevention and control ability" and "promoting the HPV vaccination service for school-age girls". Bivalent HPV vaccine can prevent infection caused by high-risk HPV virus and effectively block the occurrence of cervical cancer. Girls who have not had sex have the best vaccination effect, and only need 2 doses at the age of 9-14, which is the best age for HPV vaccination.

For the sake of your child’s health, I suggest you take your child to get HPV vaccine as soon as possible!

Inoculation objects and principles of livelihood projects

Girls who have a student status or household registration in Yichun, entered junior high school in September 2023, have not been vaccinated with HPV and are not over 14 years old (hereinafter referred to as "school-age girls", whose age is defined as December 31, 2023).

Inoculated objects should be under 14 years old after the first dose and under 15 years old after the second dose, in accordance with the principle of informed and voluntary.

Vaccination instructions

Can I be vaccinated during the menstrual period?

Menstrual period is not taboo, but for girls who have obvious discomfort during menstrual period, it is recommended to avoid menstrual vaccination as much as possible.

Inoculation taboo

1. Active autoimmune diseases, severe chronic diseases, severe allergies, acute phase of systemic diseases, including colds, fever, and acute phase of some chronic diseases such as liver and kidney.

2. People who are allergic to active ingredients or formula ingredients of cervical vaccine, such as latex and yeast.

3. The interval between inoculation of other vaccines is less than 14 days.

Precautions after HPV vaccination

Observe for 30 minutes after vaccination. If there is local fever, redness and pain, it can be relieved by itself. It is recommended to give priority to a light diet and try not to eat spicy and irritating food within 1 week after vaccination. For patients who have been vaccinated with cervical vaccine, they must pay more attention to rest, avoid lifting heavy objects, and keep a good sleep at the same time.

adverse effect

The adverse reactions of the vaccine are mild, and most of them are local symptoms, which can disappear on their own. If there are systemic adverse reactions, please consult a doctor in time.

(1) General adverse reactions: headache, fever, fatigue, myalgia, diarrhea, hypersensitivity, nausea, vomiting, cough, rash, urticaria, etc.

(2) Local adverse reactions such as erythema, pain, swelling, itching and induration.

　　In Admiralty Prison, prisoners with different infectious diseases such as hepatitis, AIDS and tuberculosis are detained, and police officers make meals in different places according to the types of infectious diseases according to the doctor’s advice.

　　Police officers are wiping highly contagious pus from the only patient (prisoner) in Beijing who is known as the "King of Syphilis" at present.

　　Perhaps few people outside know what kind of special contest is going on behind the firmness and calmness in this special prison for holding infectious disease criminals.

　　Fear of discrimination is a huge psychological obstacle for criminals with infectious diseases, especially those with sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. In order to make them feel at ease, the police officers in Admiralty Prison always adhere to direct management and have zero-distance contact with patients. In the cell and playground, there are scenes of face-to-face communication between police officers and criminals with infectious diseases everywhere.

　　On November 21st, Liu Chuan (a pseudonym) put on casual clothes and walked out of the gate of Admiralty Prison of Qinghe Branch of Beijing Prison Bureau.

　　When the huge iron gate slammed behind him, Liu Chuan said to himself that a brand-new life had begun. Liu Chuan, who suffered from AIDS due to drug abuse and was imprisoned for drug trafficking, has the strongest idea at the moment: "I want to repay the society with a grateful heart."

　　On the day before Liu Chuan was released from prison, 12 prisoners with HIV/AIDS held in Admiralty Prison signed a commitment letter, saying, "Stay away from drugs, cherish life, curb AIDS, fulfill your promise, and let the infection reach me". When signing the names, the prisoners had a firm expression on their faces, while the prison officers were calm.

　　Perhaps few people in the outside world know what kind of special contest is going on behind the firmness and calmness in this special prison for holding infectious disease criminals.

　　Contest 1: the contest between prisoners and diseases

　　On the snow-white outer wall of the eighth section of Admiralty Prison, a dazzling red ribbon can be seen far away. This is the prison section where prisoners with AIDS are held.

　　Lao Guo, 39, is already an "old man" here. Four years ago, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for robbery and entered the AIDS ward of Admiralty Prison. In four years, his sentence was reduced twice for good behavior, and he can go home in July next year.

　　The inducement of robbery in Lao Guo is drugs. In 1993, Lao Guo began to take drugs, which not only made her family restless, but also made her health worse. In 1999, the hospital diagnosed him as an AIDS patient. This is a bolt from the blue for Lao Guo! He began to abandon himself, squandered his property, took drugs more and more fiercely, and committed crimes in order to raise drug money. Lao Guo said: "At that time, I had given up on life and wanted to commit suicide, but I didn’t have the courage."

　　In 2004, Lao Guo went to Admiralty Prison with fear of AIDS. At that time, his body was very weak and emaciated, and there were many bleeding spots on his body. "When I first came in, I felt that I couldn’t hold out until I was released from prison. I just tried my best to go on a hunger strike and hang myself. I thought that I am an AIDS patient, and the country is too lazy to close (pledge). Maybe I will be released one day. " Lao Guo told reporters.

　　But Lao Guo’s wishful thinking fell through. The prison police told him that the place where he is now is the prison where the country holds criminals with AIDS, and it is impossible to let him out because he is sick. At the same time, he also found a doctor to see him and let him know that his illness is not as serious as he thought. Sure enough, after a period of treatment, Lao Guo’s body recovered day by day, not only with appetite and spirit, but also with fewer bleeding spots. The fact finally calmed him down slowly.

　　Today’s old Guo Kailang has changed a lot. He not only loves to talk and laugh, but also has established a very good relationship with prison police officers. Lao Guo told reporters: "The police officers here are very kind to us. Every time I finish the injection, the police officers help me put on my clothes, and I don’t dislike them at all. What do I have in mind and I am willing to talk to the police officer. "

　　Contest 2: the contest between policemen and fear

　　In the AIDS sub-prison area of Admiralty Prison, the reporter saw that the cells where prisoners live are spotless, and the living conditions of a three-person room are much smaller than those of ordinary prisons. Three times a day, nurses and prison guards will distribute medicines to the prisoners, and twice a day, the prisoners can go to the small playground outside the prison. And the police officers who supervise these criminals with AIDS live with them day and night. In the words of the policemen themselves, every criminal of infectious diseases is like an "untimely bomb". If anything goes wrong at work, it may cause danger to himself and others.

　　Almost every policeman who has worked in an AIDS prison has had more than one thrilling experience in the process of taking care of prisoners infected with AIDS.

　　In 2005, Cao Jian (pseudonym) was found to be infected with AIDS during the screening process of Beijing Prison Bureau, and was immediately sent to the AIDS surveillance area of Admiralty Prison. Cao Jian’s mood was very unstable. It happened that his wife filed for divorce with him at this time, which suddenly gave him a strong stimulus.

　　One afternoon, when the sub-prison area organized prisoners to reform and study, Cao Jian suddenly went crazy, not only refused to accept the study, but also slammed his head against the door in the cell. After the police officer Sun Renguo found out, he immediately ordered him to stop outside the prison, but Cao Jian at that time simply did not listen to dissuade him. In order to prevent Cao Jian from self-injury, Sun Renguo forgot to think too much, opened the cell door and rushed in, hugged Cao Jian together, and pressed it down with all his strength.

　　After a long time, Cao Jian finally calmed down, and Sun Renguo took a breath and walked out of the cell. But when he went to the pool to wash his hands according to his usual habit, he suddenly found a blood stain on his arm, which must have been inadvertently scratched by Cao Jian in the process of pulling, and Sun Renguo’s nerves suddenly became tense.

　　Colleagues and leaders paid great attention to this situation, and immediately sent Sun Renguo to the hospital for blood tests, and the results showed normal. However, the doctor said that HIV must wait 40 days before it can be tested accurately. To this end, Sun Renguo and the prison leaders and colleagues followed and worried for more than a month. Until the final test results showed normal, everyone’s hanging hearts were down.

　　Wang Mingyuan, deputy instructor of AIDS surveillance zone, told the reporter that because it is a special surveillance zone for infectious patients, police officers have to have physical examinations twice a year. "To tell you the truth, every time I have a physical examination, I feel so nervous. After all, I am with infectious diseases every day, and it is a bit of a burden psychologically. However, every time I get the physical examination form, nothing happens, and my heart is practical. How to do the work? "

　　Contest 3: the contest between soul and demons

　　There is a prison culture in Admiralty Prison, that is, "let criminals of infectious diseases inspire new life in hope". However, for prisoners who are deprived of their freedom and seriously ill, pessimism and despair often hang over them. Han Yuegang, head of the psychological correction room in Admiralty Prison, told reporters that among the criminals, especially those infected with AIDS, the proportion of people with suicidal tendencies is very high. In this case, psychological correction has become an important part of the reform work.

　　November 20th is the first day that the psychological hotline for prisoners was officially opened. The reporter saw in the mental health guidance center for prisoners that the four psychological hotline rooms were for infectious disease offenders with different conditions such as AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis, and there were rattan chairs and coffee tables in the room. Here, prisoners can directly call the experts of "Beijing Psychological Crisis Research and Intervention Center" to talk to them about their psychological problems and receive guidance from experts.

　　Lu Kai (pseudonym) was the first prisoner to call the psychological hotline. Two years ago, he was sentenced to prison for swindling and cheating, but after he went to prison, he learned that his former friend had gang-raped his girlfriend. Since then, Rukai has become extremely irritable, and his heart is to "kill these animals after he is released from prison." In the inner torment, he couldn’t sleep for several months, and his height of more than 1 meter and 70 kilograms was only 90 kilograms. After discovering his psychological problems, the police officers found the psychological correction room and gave him special psychological counseling, which finally helped him get rid of his heart disease.

　　Han Yuegang told reporters that in recent years, Admiralty Prison has paid more and more attention to psychological correction. At present, there are three full-time psychological counseling police officers with the qualification of national psychological counselors in the whole prison, and there are two part-time psychological counselors in each of the eight sub-prisons, and the means of psychological correction are becoming more and more abundant.

　　The reporter learned that music will be played on the TV in the prisoner’s cell for two fixed periods every day. This is also a part of prison psychological correction-music therapy. These music are not pop songs randomly selected, but "music groups" specially played by full-time psychological counselors according to the needs of adjusting the mood of prisoners at a certain stage. Han Yuegang said with a smile: "Our music therapy should be said to be very effective. At one stage, we played some songs to help sleep, and even the prison armed police called to complain that they wanted to sleep after listening to our songs."

　　Contest 4: the contest between despair and new life

　　Yao Jingqiang, deputy director of Admiralty Prison, said that the biggest feature of Admiralty Prison is "the prison in the hospital, the hospital in the prison", where not only AIDS prisoners are held, but also criminals of tuberculosis, hepatitis, syphilis and other infectious diseases are held. Therefore, it is necessary not only to do a good job in the education and reform of ordinary prisons, but also to do a good job in the treatment of prisoners.

　　In order to provide professional treatment for patients, Admiralty Prison has established close cooperation with Beijing You ‘an Hospital, Anding Hospital and Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Institute, and experts and doctors have formulated detailed treatment plans for each infectious disease criminal. For difficult patients, the prison will also invite experts from the hospital for consultation to ensure that every infectious disease offender can also receive standardized treatment in the prison.

　　There is still a patient with neurosyphilis in the third stage in Admiralty Prison. This kind of syphilis is the most serious of all syphilis. Four cases have been found in Beijing, and now only this prisoner is still alive. Even medical experts in this field feel a little incredible.

　　As the saying goes, the disease should be treated in three ways and supported in seven ways. In order to help the prisoners regain their health, the prison has taken great pains in the prisoners’ diet. In the prisoners’ canteen, there are more than a dozen cooking foci, not only cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, syphilis, AIDS, tuberculosis and so on, but also special wills. Niu Aisheng, head of the Life and Health Department, said that in Admiralty Prison, every prisoner can eat an egg and drink different kinds of porridge for breakfast every day. Lunch is usually a combination of meat and vegetables, and then with different kinds of staple foods, dinner is mostly digestible liquid food and cereal. In addition, every week, the prison will work with doctors to study and formulate the recipes of prisoners for the next week, understand the dietary needs of different types of prisoners, and match meals according to the symptoms.

　　In Admiralty Prison, although the food is good and the medical conditions are good, it is the sincere management of infectious disease criminals by each police officer that can most influence the prisoners. Police officers know that fear of discrimination is a huge psychological obstacle for criminals with infectious diseases, especially those with sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. In order to make them feel at ease, the police officers in Admiralty Prison always insist on direct management and have zero-distance contact with patients. In the prison and on the playground, there are scenes of face-to-face communication between police officers and criminals with infectious diseases everywhere.

Many studies have revealed that the severity of diseases infected with Omicron is less severe. So, compared with Delta, what are the clinical manifestations of Omicron infection?

Recently, a large-scale study from the United Kingdom revealed that in the epidemic period dominated by Omicron, the prevalence rate of 12 symptoms of those infected with two or three doses of vaccine was significantly lower than that in the Delta epidemic period, including loss of sense of smell, change of sense of smell, sneezing, runny nose, brain fog, sore eyes, headache, fever and so on.

The researchers said that the most significant symptom difference between the two groups is the loss of sense of smell, which is the diagnostic feature of early Covid-19 infection, but now less than 20% of cases will suffer from the loss of sense of smell. The results showed that the probability of olfactory loss of infected people was only 16.7% during Omicron epidemic, while this figure was 52.7% during Delta epidemic.

In addition, during the epidemic period in Omicron, the hospitalization rate of patients was even lower, at 1.9%; During the Delta epidemic, the hospitalization rate was 2.6%.

The research is entitled Symptom Prevention, Duration, and risk of hospital admission in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 during periods of omicron and delta variant dominance: a prospective observatio Nal study from the ZOE COVID Study was published online in the authoritative international medical journal The Lancet on April 7th, local time.

The probability of 12 symptoms of Omicron infected people is reduced.

The main researchers of the above research are from King’s College London and Nottingham University, and three of them are consultants of the application ZOE. There are also five researchers who are employees of the application ZOE.

This study is a prospective longitudinal observation study, and the data is coming from the application ZOE, which used to be called "COVID-19 Symptom Study", and users can report infection test results and symptoms by themselves.

The purpose of this study is to compare the possibility of designated symptoms (32 symptoms monitored by ZOE) and the possibility of hospitalization between those infected in Omicron epidemic period and those infected in Delta epidemic period. Therefore, the data of two periods were compared and analyzed: from June 1 to November 27, 2021, during this period, Delta mutant was dominant in Britain, with a prevalence rate of more than 70%; From December 20th, 2021 to January 17th, 2022, Omicron mutant was dominant in Britain, and the prevalence rate was over 70%.

The study first included 63,002 ZOE users who were COVID-19-positive by PCR or LFAT from June 1, 2021 to January 17, 2022. Among them, 33,785 users tested positive during the Delta epidemic and 29,217 users tested positive during the Omicron epidemic.

After that, the study further screened the samples. Finally, the eligible participants were 16-99 years old, living in the UK, with a body mass index of 15-55kg/m2, who had been vaccinated with at least 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine and reported symptoms. The study also matched the age, sex and vaccination times of these positive infected people according to 1:1. After matching, the total number of participants in Omicron epidemic period and Delta epidemic period decreased to 4,990 in each group.

　

Distribution of symptoms of people infected with Delta or Omicron. Paper drawings

　Through data analysis, it was found that among 4990 people in Omicron group, the most commonly reported symptoms were runny nose (76.5%), headache (74.7%), sore throat (70.5%), sneezing (63.0%), persistent cough (49.8%) and hoarseness (42.6%). Among the 4990 people in Delta group, the most commonly reported symptoms were runny nose (81.6%), headache (77.9%), sneezing (70.7%), sore throat (60.8%) and loss of sense of smell (52.7%).

The study made a detailed comparison between the symptoms of the two periods, and found that among the 32 symptoms evaluated in the study, the prevalence rate of 12 symptoms in Omicron epidemic period was significantly lower than that in Delta epidemic period, including loss of sense of smell, change of sense of smell, sneezing, runny nose, brain fog, sore eyes, headache, fever, alopecia, blisters on feet, tinnitus and dizziness.

Compared with the Delta epidemic period, the infected people in Omicron epidemic period are less likely to show at least one of the three typical COVID-19 symptoms: fever, loss of sense of smell and persistent cough. However, sore throat and hoarseness are more likely to occur during the epidemic period in Omicron.

The researchers concluded that the most significant symptom difference between the two periods was the loss of sense of smell, which was the diagnostic feature of early Covid-19 infection, but now less than 20% of cases will appear. The results showed that during the Omicron epidemic, the olfactory loss of infected people was relatively rare, only 16.7%, while this figure was 52.7% during the Delta epidemic.

In addition, the probability of many debilitating symptoms in Omicron’s case is obviously reduced, such as brain fog, burning eyes, dizziness, fever and headache.

What is the difference between the duration of symptoms and rehabilitation after the third injection?

Because all the participants in this study have been vaccinated with two or three doses of vaccine, the study also makes a comparative analysis of different vaccination States.

Regarding the hospitalization rate, the study found that compared with the Delta epidemic period, during the Omicron epidemic period, the hospitalization rate of infected people was lower (94 people in Omicron group were hospitalized, while 130 people in Delta group were hospitalized), which was similar among the two-dose vaccinators and the three-dose vaccinators. Overall, the hospitalization rate in Omicron was 1.9% in epidemic period, while in Delta epidemic period, the hospitalization rate was 2.6%.

The researchers said that the hospitalization rate of patients in Omicron epidemic period was significantly lower than that in Delta epidemic period, which supported the previous findings from South Africa and South Korea that the Omicron mutant was less severe in disease.

"We found that the hospitalization rate of Omicron infected people is 25% lower than that of Delta, which is consistent with the report of Discovery Health, a private insurance company in Johannesburg, which claims that the hospitalization risk of Omicron infected people is 29% lower than that of Delta infected people." The researcher wrote.

　

The duration of acute symptoms of Omicron infected people and Delta infected people, I is all participants; Ii is a two-dose vaccinator and iii is a three-dose vaccinator. Paper drawings

The study also analyzed the duration of symptoms of patients with different vaccination conditions.

For the participants who recovered within 21 days, the study compared the time for the acute symptoms to subside. The samples were matched Delta infected persons and Omicron infected persons, with 1530 persons in each group. The study found that, on the whole, the acute symptoms of Delta infection lasted longer, with an average of 8.89 days, while in Omicron, the figure was 6.87 days.

If divided into two doses and three doses, there is no obvious difference in the duration between the two doses. The average duration of acute symptoms in Delta group is 9.57 days, and that in Omicron group is 8.30 days. This difference is obvious among the three doses of vaccination. The average duration of acute symptoms in Delta group is 7.71 days, and that in Omicron group is 4.40 days.

The researchers said that the dramatic shortening of the duration of symptoms of infected people during the epidemic period in Omicron was related to three doses of vaccination.

In addition, the study also investigated the probability of recovery within 7 days after symptoms appeared in Omicron epidemic period and Delta epidemic period. It was found that the possibility of 7-day recovery of infected people in Omicron epidemic period was twice that in Delta epidemic period.

The researchers write that there are still some limitations in this study. Although the design of this study matches the vaccination situation (two or three doses of vaccination), it cannot match the length of time after vaccination. If compared with the matching duration after vaccination, the current research may bias the data to present the more serious clinical situation after Omicron infection. However, the researchers believe that this will strengthen the robustness of the main findings of this study, that is, the clinical manifestations of Omicron infection are not as serious as Delta.

Multi-site nucleic acid testing institutions have been falsified.

01HuhehotThen report "nucleic acid result fraud"

On November 13th, many people in Hohhot reported that their nucleic acid test results were positive in the morning. At 9 o’clock, the result was corrected to be negative.

On November 14th, the Xincheng Branch of Hohhot Public Security Bureau reported that,Nei Mongol saisi gene technology co., ltdExistence of nucleic acid detection resultscounterfeit. Incorrectly entered informationEmployee Jiang, and theCompany legal person departmentBe taken according to lawcriminal compulsory measures.

Screenshot of positive nucleic acid detection in network transmission In the nucleic acid detection in key areas of Hohhot, the company misreported the results of nucleic acid detection and fed back the negative results of some people’s nucleic acid detection as positive, which caused great panic to the people.

On November 13th, the Health and Health Commission of Hohhot issued a circular, which has stopped the institution’s practice activities according to law, and the police have been involved in the investigation. According to the report of Xincheng Branch of Hohhot Public Security Bureau, on November 13th, Jiang, an employee of Inner Mongolia Seth Gene Technology Co., Ltd., entered the information incorrectly due to serious irresponsibility, which caused some people’s negative results of nucleic acid testing to be positive, causing adverse social impact.

Xincheng District Public Security Bureau has taken criminal compulsory measures against Jiang, a legal person of Inner Mongolia Seth Gene Technology Co., Ltd., and the case is under further investigation.

At the press conference held on November 14th, Liu Yuanjun, a second-level researcher of the Health and Health Commission of Hohhot, said that in view of the recent concerns about nucleic acid detection, we have made inferences, strengthened quality control, and set up a special class to conduct a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of nucleic acid detection institutions in the city, focusing on a comprehensive investigation of the problems reported by the masses.

02KunmingA nucleic acid testing institution issues a false testing report, which is suspected of violating the law and being investigated.

On November 10, 2022, the Comprehensive Supervision and Law Enforcement Bureau of Kunming Municipal Health and Wellness Committee found in its work thatKunming huanji medical inspection officeThere are violations of health laws and regulations.

The investigation found that the institute failed to implement the main responsibility of biosafety management, violated the regulations on health, quality and safety management, and signed a nucleic acid testing service agreement with individuals who did not have relevant professional and technical qualifications without strict examination. During the sampling process, the sampling personnelpractise fraud, causing the inspection office to issueFalse test report. And there is a collection of Covid-19 nucleic acid samples transferred by individuals and units, and the "Transportation Permit" is not strictly checked; Failure to strictly implement medical waste management norms and other issues.

The chaotic management, lax quality control and dereliction of duty of Kunming Huanji Medical Inspection Institute led to false test results and interfered with the prevention and control of epidemic situation in the city. At present, the Comprehensive Supervision and Law Enforcement Bureau of the Kunming Municipal Health and Wellness Commission has filed an investigation on the Kunming Huanji Medical Inspection Institute in accordance with the law and severely investigated it according to the law. For those suspected of other illegal acts,Hand it over to relevant departments for handling..

03ChongqingThe legal person of the gold Y nucleic acid testing institution was arrested and tampered with the test results.

According to the network transmission of a community owner group in Chongqing, the contents are as follows:

04Inner MongoliaSome people can check the results without taking part in nucleic acid testing.

On November 13th, a citizen reported that his family members had found the results of nucleic acid test without taking part in nucleic acid sampling.

In view of this problem, the epidemic prevention and control headquarters of COVID-19 in Jining District quickly conducted investigation and verification. After investigation, grid leaders Ge Moumou, Zhang Moumou and Zhang were responsible for the 39th nucleic acid sampling point in Tiancheng Impression Community of Hushan Street. On November 12th, after the completion of nucleic acid sampling at this sampling point, it was found through information comparison that Zhang Moumou (the family member of the reporter) did not take part in the nucleic acid sampling that day, but Ge Moumou, Zhang Moumou and Zhang did not collect the information from Zhang Moumou according to the regulations, but collected the information through the "adding family" function of Mengsu Office, and immediately sealed the sampling tube for inspection.

The nature of this problem is bad, which has a certain negative impact on the epidemic prevention and control work in our region. As the person in charge of the sampling point, Chen Mou, the director of the sampling point, failed to strictly supervise the sampling work and was responsible for leadership. According to the management authority, the District Housing Insurance Center gave Chen Mou a warning. Ge Moumou, Zhang Moumou and Zhang were irresponsible and fraudulent in their work. The Hushan Sub-district Office dismissed Ge Moumou and Zhang Moumou, and the District Employment Service Center dismissed Zhang.

this8 diCancel the regional full-time nucleic acid detection

On the other hand, on November 11th, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council issued the Notice on Further Optimizing the Prevention and Control Measures of COVID-19 Epidemic, and made a scientific and accurate prevention and control work, and put forward twenty measures for further optimizing the prevention and control work (hereinafter referred to as "20 measures"). Among them, in areas where there is no epidemic, nucleic acid testing shall be carried out for risk posts and key personnel in strict accordance with the scope determined in the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, and the scope of nucleic acid testing shall not be expanded.

Generally, the nucleic acid testing of all staff is not carried out according to the administrative region, and it is only carried out when the source of infection and transmission chain are unclear and the community transmission time is long.

Formulate specific implementation measures to standardize nucleic acid detection, reiterate and refine relevant requirements, and correct unscientific practices such as "two inspections a day" and "three inspections a day".

On November 13th,
Shijiazhuang According to this policy, a letter to all citizens was issued. The letter to all citizens published on the website of Shijiazhuang Municipal Government and Shijiazhuang News Network wrote: The municipal party committee and municipal government thoroughly studied and implemented a series of important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on epidemic prevention and control, insisted on preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy and ensuring safe development, fully implemented the requirements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, comprehensively standardized the table, and strictly implemented the 20 measures of the central government to further optimize the prevention and control work. All inconsistent measures were comprehensively rectified in place, and at the same time, the flat and efficient command system was improved and strengthened. The above-mentioned Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government also stated in the letter that if some localities and departments engage in measures such as "one size fits all", "layer by layer plus code" and "one letter is closed", they are welcome to reflect and supervise through the hotline. For this policy, some netizens also expressed doubts. "Is Shijiazhuang really liberalizing the policy of nucleic acid testing?" The reporter learned from the telephone staff of Shijiazhuang epidemic prevention and control consultation.At present, Shijiazhuang does not require all employees to carry out compulsory nucleic acid testing, but only carries out nucleic acid testing for key people and key jobs.It is mainly based on Article 6 of the "20 Measures to Further Optimize Epidemic Prevention and Control" issued by the state a few days ago, that is, in areas where there is no epidemic, nucleic acid testing should be carried out for risk posts and key personnel in strict accordance with the scope determined in the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan, and the scope of nucleic acid testing should not be expanded. Generally, the nucleic acid testing of all staff is not carried out according to the administrative region, and it is only carried out when the source of infection and transmission chain are unclear and the community transmission time is long. Formulate specific implementation measures to standardize nucleic acid detection, reiterate and refine relevant requirements, and correct unscientific practices such as "two inspections a day" and "three inspections a day". According to incomplete statistics, as of November 14th,Zhenping County, Shaanxi Province, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, Guangchang County, Jiangxi Province, Yanji City, Jilin Province, Hefei City, Anhui Province, Shanghai City and many other places have actively adjusted the current epidemic prevention policies, and announced the cancellation or temporary suspension of all regional nucleic acid testing.

Sanya City, Hainan ProvinceOn the 11th, it was announced that all the regional nucleic acid tests had been cancelled. At noon on November 11th, Sanya issued a notice requiring all residents and tourists in Sanya to take part in nucleic acid testing this Saturday (12th). Those who fail to take part in nucleic acid sampling as required will be given yellow codes. Seven hours later, Sanya issued a notice again, calling for the implementation of the latest epidemic prevention and control policy, and the previously released regional nucleic acid detection was no longer implemented. On November 12, 2022, the nucleic acid detection work was carried out according to the normalization, and citizens and tourists arranged their own time and took samples nearby. Since then, Shaanxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Shanghai and other places have announced the cancellation of all regional nucleic acid testing. In the early morning of the 12 th,
Zhenping County, Shaanxi Province The epidemic prevention office issued a notice announcing the cancellation of the sixteenth round of nucleic acid testing for all the people in the county on the same day.

On the same day,
Fuzhou City, Fujian Province Hold a press conference to inform the latest situation of epidemic prevention and control. Among them, it is proposed that in view of the fact that Cangshan District has not yet achieved zero social coverage, according to relevant regulations, regional nucleic acid testing will be carried out daily in Cangshan District from 6: 00 am to 12: 00 am from November 12 to 15; Gulou District, Taijiang District, Jin ‘an District, Minhou County and High-tech Zone will no longer carry out regional full-time nucleic acid testing. On the 12 th,
Guangchang County, Jiangxi Province The emergency headquarters Office of Epidemic Prevention and Control also released a message saying that, in view of the negative results of regional nucleic acid detection in the three days from November 8 to 10, it was decided to cancel the regional nucleic acid detection on November 13 -14 according to the spirit of the latest relevant documents of the superior and the comprehensive judgment of the expert group.

On November 13th,
Yanji City, Jilin Province The epidemic prevention department issued an announcement, announcing that it would stop all the nucleic acid detection work from November 14th. Previously, Yanji City issued an announcement on November 7, and decided to carry out a seven-day round of full-time nucleic acid testing according to the designated towns and towns during the period from August 8 to 14.

On the same day,
Shanghai It also released the contents of optimizing, adjusting and refining the implementation of relevant prevention and control measures, and announced that nucleic acid testing for all employees will no longer be carried out according to administrative regions, and it will only be carried out when the source of infection and transmission chain are unclear and the community transmission time is long. At the same time, we will further organize normalized nucleic acid testing and community convenience screening. According to the "Hefei Release" news,
Hefei, Anhui province According to experts in emergency headquarters, the whole city of Hefei has entered the stage of normalized epidemic prevention and control. In principle, it will not carry out all-staff nucleic acid testing by administrative region for the time being, and it will only be carried out when the source of infection and transmission chain are unclear, and the community transmission time is long.

Misread "lying flat"Shijiazhuang,It is precisely the "model room" for accurate prevention and control in the future.

Has Guzhuang become a pilot city for letting go of lying flat? "

In Shijiazhuang, where 544 cases (2+438) were newly infected in the past 24 hours, overnight, all the people in Shijiazhuang’s circle of friends were spreading unpredictable nucleic acids, the nucleic acids were not checked in public places, Shijiazhuang was lying flat, and even in the face of the notice of normal school opening on Monday, the online class group answered the phone and showed that all the children were all on leave.

What is the real situation in Shijiazhuang, which rushed to the hot search for a while on the Internet?

Indeed, judging from the recent digital fluctuations, the epidemic situation in Shijiazhuang is not optimistic. From the single-digit asymptomatic infections before the 5th of this month, to the double-digit growth before the 10th, and then to the triple-digit surge on the 11th, there were nearly 500 cases (2+484) on the 12th, and the number of new positive infections reached an unprecedented 544 on the 13th, and 440 new positive infections on the 14th.

There are 479 high-risk areas in Shijiazhuang, which may be "silent" at any previous stage. However, under the background of the promulgation of 20 articles on optimizing epidemic prevention, and the existence of four-digit cities such as Guangzhou, Chongqing and Zhengzhou, the data of Shijiazhuang is not so conspicuous.

Through the video images posted by netizens on social platforms, it can be found that many places in Shijiazhuang were indeed unsealed on the 13th, and the traffic on the streets was endless. On Monday, many companies also started to work normally, and schools opened normally. As the local residents in Shijiazhuang said, many schools in Shijiazhuang have experienced epidemics, and parents are worried that their children will be infected. It is also very tangled whether to send their children to school when school starts.

Regarding the opening of school in Shijiazhuang, according to a Shijiazhuang citizen whose community has only three buildings unsealed, "Yesterday (13th), many primary schools were counting whether they could go to school, but parents were afraid to let their children go to school, and now they continue to take classes online."

It is worth noting that in this round of Shijiazhuang epidemic, the epidemic situation of universities in Shijiazhuang, such as Hebei Normal University, was extremely complicated. The local authorities even "took temporary evacuation measures for teachers and students of Hebei Normal University", but they completed "all-round disinfection and disinfection" and "starting from the 13th, the school risk-free personnel will be organized to return to school one after another".

At 2: 30 pm on the 13th, the "Notice" issued by the Office of the General Command of Epidemic Prevention and Control in Shijiazhuang said, "At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control in our city is severe and complicated, with sporadic points in some areas, but it is generally controllable."

(Shijiazhuang promises to comprehensively benchmark and optimize epidemic prevention 20)

The notice also particularly emphasized that "the municipal party committee and the municipal government comprehensively put in place the 20 measures to further optimize the prevention and control work of the central government, accurately implemented the prevention and control measures to the smallest unit, and delineated some high-risk areas; In addition, the implementation of normalized epidemic prevention and control, and strive to maintain normal production and living order ",and" please keep calm and firm confidence, rationally face the epidemic, do not panic, do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors, and actively cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control work ".

Before the announcement, the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee and the government officially issued a letter to all citizens, in which, in addition to thanking the "fellow citizens" for their cooperation in epidemic prevention, they emphasized "comprehensively benchmarking and strictly implementing the 20 measures of the central government to further optimize the prevention and control work" and promised that "all inconsistencies will be rectified in place", "at the same time, we will improve the flat and efficient command system, strengthen the leadership contract system, and continue to sink the front line."

The open letter stated that "the people have a call, and I should respond", implement scientific and precise prevention and control, and resolutely prevent "one size fits all", "layers of overweight" and "one letter". Compacting the responsibility of prevention and control to the smallest unit, and "implementing normalized epidemic prevention and control outside the high-risk area, and fully maintaining normal production and living order".

As the above-mentioned Shijiazhuang citizens said, Shijiazhuang is not lying flat, but "precise prevention and control". In the open letter, Shijiazhuang also expressed this way, reminding that "the general public should fully understand that optimizing and adjusting prevention and control measures is not relaxing prevention and control, let alone letting go and’ lying flat’."

As for why Shijiazhuang was suddenly released and "lying flat", many Shijiazhuang citizens also said that they did not know "where the wind came from". The Shijiazhuang citizens interviewed said that the high-risk area was wrapped with red cloth, and volunteers were responsible for distributing materials. The unsealed community did not do nucleic acid, "but it did not dare to go to public places."

According to interviews with top journalists, many kindergartens in Shijiazhuang still need to hold valid nucleic acid test information, citizens still need 72-hour nucleic acid negative test certificates when taking buses and subways in Shijiazhuang, and many shopping malls do not need nucleic acid test certificates, just holding the registration green code to enter.

However, citizens who return to Shijiazhuang in low-risk areas and other places still need to hold a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test "before going home with the consent of the community", and citizens who leave Shijiazhuang also need to hold a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test report.

As for how the rumor about the cancellation of nucleic acid in Shijiazhuang came out, the reporter confirmed that "at present, Shijiazhuang does not require all employees to carry out compulsory nucleic acid testing, but only carries out nucleic acid testing for key populations and key jobs", while Shijiazhuang only strictly follows the "20 measures to optimize epidemic prevention and control" issued a few days ago, and does not carry out all employees’ nucleic acid testing according to administrative regions.

The external concerns caused by the implementation of accurate epidemic prevention in Shijiazhuang are totally unnecessary. Just as Shijiazhuang solemnly promised to the citizens in an open letter, it said, "Strengthen the protection of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and patients with basic diseases, and fully meet the basic needs of the citizens such as seeing a doctor, seeking medical treatment, heating and attending classes", "Smooth the channels for expressing their demands, establish a direct hotline, actively respond to concerns, and solve doubts in time, so as to achieve more accurate strategies, more effective measures, more satisfactory people and socially acceptable.

It should be said that the speculation of Shijiazhuang citizens and the outside world about Shijiazhuang’s liberalization and "lying flat" is indeed a misunderstanding. On the contrary, what Shijiazhuang is doing now is "implementing 20 measures to optimize epidemic prevention", which is exactly what we ordinary people are looking forward to. I believe that Shijiazhuang can do it, and so can other cities.

In the past, Shijiazhuang, a big city with a population of more than 10 million, was always ridiculed by the outside world as an "international village" and "the provincial capital with the least sense of existence". I sincerely hope that this time Shijiazhuang can use its own "precise prevention and control" and "scientific prevention and control" to implement the "20 articles on optimizing epidemic prevention and control" to the letter and find a new path for all localities to deal with the epidemic.

In order to expand the cross-border e-commerce business, Ma Yun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba (hereinafter referred to as "Ali"), really put up a fight.

In the past two weeks, he has gone to the United States and Russia. He said that Ali will speed up the pace of globalization, so he has been running a lot recently, and there are still many countries to go to next. Under the influence of Ma Yun, even the daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd went to Tmall to open a shop and engage in overseas purchasing.

In addition to Ma Yun, Alibaba CEO Zhang Yong also arrived in the United States this week to implement the group’s globalization strategy, visit brands and give a speech in Washington.

Following the launch of the first national pavilion "Korea Pavilion" in May, the "national pavilions" of 11 countries including the United States, Britain and France were also launched at Tmall International on June 24th. At the same time, its cost-effective platform cooperates with embassies of 20 countries including the United States, Britain and France to sell imported goods from various countries.

When interviewed by media groups including Titanium Media, Zhang Jianfeng, president of Ali China Retail Group, said that Ali itself is a big data company. Today, it is not doing cross-border trade from scratch, but bringing these overseas goods to China through platforms or purchasing methods.

"Overseas flagship stores do not need to register enterprises in China, so they can open stores in Tmall International, operate overseas, and enter China through bonded means to minimize the operating costs of enterprises."

After the launch of Tmall International, let the purchasing merchants on Taobao "wash white"

At the beginning of last year, seeing the promotion of opening-up strategies such as Shanghai Free Trade Zone, and the huge business opportunities of Haitao business, Alibaba Group launched Tmall International to carry out cross-border e-commerce business, so that overseas imported goods can be directly supplied to the China market.

Zhang Jianfeng said that Ali’s previous activities with overseas proved that China consumers had a strong demand for imported goods, and many import activities even changed the production plans of some local factories.

"For example, if we do activities in Thailand, Thai latex pillows and mattresses sell very well. Therefore, the demand for imported goods in the China market is very strong. "

Prior to this, the existing "global purchase" business on Taobao has been wandering in the gray area. After Tmall International went online, the purchasing merchants on Taobao were "washed white". In fact, the cross-border trade of direct sales of imported goods is also the focus of the reform experiment of Shanghai Free Trade Zone, so as to standardize the private Haitao transactions.

Tmall International operates independently as a subsidiary of Ali Group and is registered in Hong Kong. It belongs to Ali International B2C Division, which also includes AliExpress platform for overseas consumers and Taobao Overseas for Chinese consumers in Southeast Asia such as Taiwan Province and Hongkong. It is not in the same department as Juhua, but it will cooperate with some marketing activities.

For imported goods, price is not the main determinant.

According to Zhang Jianfeng, food, mother and baby, and beauty are all commodities that China consumers particularly like. In his view, for imported goods, price is not the main determinant.

"Many people who pursue the quality of life will definitely not care about the price, especially the rise of a large number of middle classes in China. The demand for overseas imported goods is huge, not to pursue luxury goods. Today’s cross-border is completely different from our previous understanding of cross-border. Many of them are necessities of life. Many consumer goods that families may use, from cooking pots, cooking oil and towels to instant noodles, like to use imported goods."

Most consumers really don’t know what very good goods are available in many foreign countries. How to gather considerable sales in a short time requires a platform to operate successfully.

Zhang Jianfeng took Bulgarian roses as an example. After an activity with them, the effect was very good. Gather sales through Ali’s platform, and then transport it from Bulgaria to the bonded warehouse after the sales volume is confirmed. Because the sales volume is locked, it is pre-sale, which will be very low for the merchants.

This is the characteristic of the internet, that is, there is a very long user group, which leads to the accumulation of a relatively large amount of personalized needs. The platform of e-commerce allows very small products to operate online; If we operate offline, this product will enter China through traditional channels, and the cost will be very huge, even impossible. E-commerce is a better channel than traditional channels.

Competitors are also doing cross-border e-commerce, but they are not a threat to Ali.

Coincidentally, competitor Amazon also launched cross-border e-commerce activities on the same day, and the Commercial Office of the US Embassy in China signed a strategic partnership with Amazon China. Amazon also recently signed a global framework agreement with the Bureau of International Trade (ITA) of the US Department of Commerce, and China was the first country to implement the agreement.

Amazon first signed an agreement with the Shanghai Free Trade Zone in August 2014. At that time, the press release said that the platform had both "direct mail" and "free trade" modes. However, the free trade model has not yet landed. Similarly, in May 2015, Amazon signed an agreement with Xiamen Free Trade Zone. The focus of cooperation with Xiamen is to promote selected products from Taiwan, China and Southeast Asian countries and regions to enter the mainland, but there is still no free trade model.

As a big international company, Amazon has been in China for ten years, but faced with the pressure from business and supervision, it has only won a small part of the total e-commerce market share in China, and it is still a relatively small participant.

Although Amazon has set up shop in Shanghai Free Trade Zone, it can compete with larger local rivals in China, such as Ali and JD.COM, by using preferential trade policies in the Free Trade Zone, such as preferential import tariffs, to sell products purchased from global supply chains.

However, Amazon still has a long way to go to challenge the status of Alibaba and JD.COM Mall, but at least this will help China consumers distinguish it from other e-commerce companies.

In addition to big platforms like Alibaba and Amazon, Suning, Jumeiyou, Netease and Dangdang have also accelerated their layout. At the same time, there are also startups such as Ocean Terminal and Honey Bud Baby.

Competition exists, but Zhang Jianfeng feels that these enterprises pose no threat to Ali. The whole Alibaba platform is the largest e-commerce platform in China at present, and the competitors are one order of magnitude behind. Many competitors may not be in the normal business model, so they use a platform to attract traffic.

"For us, it is the basic bottom line for all businesses to make money. We will not do something at a loss, because we are a platform, and we must ensure that businesses can make money in a suitable business model.

"So far, Alibaba has done quite well in this regard. We have invested a lot of resources in cross-border support, including our cooperation with bonded warehouses and providing efficient distribution through rookie logistics."

Defense guide：

1. The Central Meteorological Observatory and China Maritime Search and Rescue Center remind ships and personnel sailing and operating in the sea areas affected by strong winds to return to Hong Kong to avoid the wind and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision. Relevant departments should strengthen port facilities and make full preparations for prevention;

2, forest, grassland, urban fire departments to prepare for fire prevention, airport, railway, highway and other traffic management departments should take measures to ensure traffic safety;

3, stop high altitude, water outdoor work and recreational activities, stop the open-air assembly, cut off the outdoor dangerous power supply, strengthen or properly place the hoardings, scaffolding billboards, simple facilities and other structures that are easily blown by strong winds;

4. Pedestrians and vehicles should not stay in temporary buildings such as tall buildings and billboards, or under trees.

Recently, SAIC-GM-Wuling officially released the official picture of the brand-new Hongguang MINIEV. The new car not only continued the classic design elements of its family, but also introduced four-door design for the first time, bringing more diversified choices.

The new Hongguang MINIEV is built on the platform of Tianyu architecture S, and its positioning is still aimed at the A00-class mini-electric vehicle market. Judging from the official map released, the new car has been innovated in appearance design, and the body contour is more rounded and full, and the overall style is closer to the recent hot-selling Bingo SUV. What is particularly striking is that the new Hongguang MINIEV has added a four-door layout, which helps to improve the practicality and convenience of vehicles. It is reported that the length, width and height of the new car are 3256/1510/1578mm and the wheelbase is 2190mm, which is consistent with the two-door model and adopts a four-seat layout.

In terms of power, the two-door and four-door versions of the new Hongguang MINIEV are equipped with 30kW motors, which is consistent with the current high-power version. The maximum speed can reach 100km/h, and it is equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery to meet the daily needs of urban transportation. As a micro-electric vehicle with outstanding performance in the market, Hongguang MINIEV has won the love of consumers with its low price and small and cute appearance since its listing. According to the data of the Association, the cumulative sales volume of Hongguang MINIEV in 2022-2023 reached 444,800 and 237,900 respectively.

However, with the constant emergence of competitors in the market, such as Changan Lumin, Chery QQ ice cream and Geely Panda, the competition in the mini-car market is becoming increasingly fierce. These models are similar to Hongguang MINIEV in appearance design and price positioning, which brings certain challenges to their market position. From January to August this year, the cumulative sales volume of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV was only 125,514 vehicles, which was 51.66% lower than that of January to August 2022.

It is worth noting that although the mini-car market is booming, its profit is relatively low. Many car companies lay out the mini-car market, which is driven by the double-point policy in addition to pursuing sales growth. The latest financial report shows that in the first half of this year, SAIC-GM-Wuling’s operating income was 32.963 billion yuan and its net profit was only 97 million yuan. The guide price of the current Wuling Hongguang MINIEV is 32,800-99,900 yuan, of which the price of the main sales model is about 40,000 yuan. It is expected that the price of the new model will be raised.

Special feature of 1905 film network If you pay close attention to the movie credits, you will find a special department — — Corpse prosthetic prop group.

　

This department has been standard in Hollywood blockbusters, but it is the first time in domestic films.

　

Realistic injuries, delicate prostheses and tragic corpses have become an indispensable part of the film through the skillful hands of these behind-the-scenes craftsmen, allowing the audience to feel the cruelty of war and the fearless sacrifice spirit of the volunteers.

　

Xue Song, director of The Battle at Lake Changjin’s series of cadaver prosthetic props, revealed that they produced a total of 110 corpses and a large number of corpses and injuries for the film, the largest scale of which was made in China.

　

In this issue of Behind the Scene, let’s follow Xue Song to explore this little-known special department together.

tirelessly seek improvement

Restore the cruelty of the battlefield with details

　

What is the responsibility of the "corpse prosthetic prop group", which sounds a little mysterious and scary? Xue Song summed it up with four key words: "Scar and corpse blood".

　

"The first is the design of the blood effect of the injury; Second, it is necessary to solve the production of prosthetic props and cosmetic materials for corpses; The third is to complicate the execution in live shooting. "

　

Once upon a time, the scenes of death and injury in war films were mainly played by extras. However, with the development of visual effects technology and the increasing demand of audiences for war films, professional cadaver prosthetic props departments came into being to create effects that real actors could not achieve.

　

"For example, burning, burying, crushing, hanging, flooding, rotting, etc., this kind of thing is impossible for a real actor." Xue Song said, "You can also use artificial limbs to connect with real actors. For example, the body has been exploded in two parts, and it is impossible to use real people to do this effect. We need to use artificial limbs to connect with real people."

　

In this case, it is necessary to pay special attention to details and realism. "The reduction degree of the’ corpse’ and the real person should reach more than 90%, and it must withstand the level of large close-up and meticulous shooting of pores. The direction of hair scales, the texture of the skin, the blood vessels under the skin, the posture of death, and the expression before death must be restored. "

　

Take The Battle at Lake Changjin as an example. In the scene of fighting in a residential building in the Mid-Levels, an American soldier’s body was crushed by a tank in the process of fighting, so he needed to use a "corpse" to meet the actor.

　

It takes about 20 days to make such a "lifelike" corpse, from the scanning, modeling and sculpture of actors to the restoration of injuries and the texture of hair and eyeballs. The effort is reflected in the details.

　

Another common use of props such as cadaver prostheses is to "lay out the battlefield", which shows the extreme environment of the battlefield with a large number of corpses, body pieces, plasma and so on, showing the tragic cruelty of the war.

　

In The Battle at Lake Changjin, Wu Wan Li, who plays the first time in the battlefield, lies on the dry river bed with his comrades to avoid the US bombing, which is impressive. The air-dried bodies around the soldiers are also chilling.

　

During the production, Xue Song and his team referred to the cold, dry and windy climate in northern Korea, and did not make the corpse rotten, but made it air-dried.

　

"The atrophy of muscles, the collapse of soft tissues, the exposure of teeth, and the natural aging of clothing after wind and sun have formed the final effect."

　

For this kind of corpse prop that doesn’t need to take part in the play with the actors, Xue Song pays more attention to the visual effect shown to the audience and the communication of the film theme in the design.

　

"This scene wants to show that Wan Li, as a recruit, really feels the cruelty of war, which is very necessary for his personal growth. Our task is to create a battlefield environment full of death and promote his growth."

　

Pay equal attention to technology and art

Advanced assistance for domestic war film technology

　

Prop making and special effect makeup of cadaver prosthesis are not only hard-core technical activities, but also need rich knowledge reserves, including human anatomy, forensic medicine, military medicine and so on.

　

"First of all, we must have an understanding of the human body, subcutaneous fat layer, muscle layer and bone layer. The whole effect design is carried out according to the human muscle tissue structure."

　

According to the different ways of injury, injuries can be divided into different types, from the simplest subcutaneous bruises to superficial scratches, knife wounds, gunshot wounds, injuries, burns, chemical injuries, biological injuries, mechanical injuries, etc. "For each play, we will do the restoration of injury effects and the design of injuries in the environment described in the script," Xue Song explained.

　

Take it as an example, the old iron who was shot in the face formed a penetrating wound. The entrance of the bullet was very small, but after tumbling in the human body, the exit "exploded" the whole muscle tissue. These injury effects were supported by medical knowledge.

　

What is the difference between the wounds caused by pistols and rifles? What are the injuries caused by grenades, mines and incendiary bombs?

In order to restore the injury realistically, prop artists usually look through a large number of forensic anatomical illustrations and battlefield trauma materials to accumulate real materials.

　

Xue Song said with a smile that the team members, both boys and girls, are very "taste-oriented". Instead of being afraid of seeing pictures of various injuries, the first thought is "This injury is really beautiful. This person died with characteristics. I want to make them."

　

When evaluating excellent domestic war films, the two most common words are "truth", but this truth is enclosed in double quotation marks.

Prop design should also grasp the balance between restoring reality and artistic processing. Being too realistic and bloody will bring psychological and physical discomfort to the audience and affect the artistic expression of the film.

　

"Props are a part of the violent aesthetics of war movies, and it is more necessary to restore the artistic truth, filter out the bloody parts, and then become an artistic creation to serve the idea of the whole movie. We have always stressed the need to make technology with stories, and technology should be hidden behind art, not before it, "Xue Song said.

　

With the development of domestic war films, Xue Song and the props team have been accumulating behind-the-scenes production experience, from The Eight Hundred’s injury effect design to The Battle at Lake Changjin’s corpse prosthesis production.

　

During the production of The Battle at Lake Changjin, the team developed a batch of wearable injury effects, including frostbite finger covers, foot covers, etc. It is easy to wear, and the preparation time is only 10 minutes, which can meet the close-up level shooting and can be reused, saving costs.

　

After The Eight Hundred, a special technical system of domestic war films was gradually established, including creation mode, production mode and service mode, which provided reference for subsequent film production.

　

At the end of the The Battle at Lake Changjin film, the "corpse prosthetic prop group" first appeared in the behind-the-scenes team of domestic films, which was only the beginning and a new starting point for the continuous breakthrough of domestic war films.
