在全球家禽中广泛流行的H5N1疫病的近几年中,也出现了为数较少的人H5N1流感病例。其实这是人类社会进程中表现在人畜共患病中的一段小插曲,历史上人畜共患病多有发生。但是,近两年只有SARS死亡人数小零头的人H5N1死亡病例造成的社会震荡及损失却并不亚于SARS的影响,尤其是人们对H5N1不甚了解和舆论炒作使人们的心理达到了谈禽色变的状况。人类对任何事物的认识都有一个从不知到初步了解再到深入掌握的过程,对禽流感等疫情也是这样。其实病毒的变异要有一个生物学过程,在防止病原传播方面应给予足够的重视,人们在防控传染病的爆发方面应有更大的主动权。正如侯云德院士分析的那样:充分做好各种准备,科学有效面对,有可能在人类历史上首次阻断流感大流行的蔓延。 In recent years there has also been a small number of H5N1 influenza cases in the world in the widespread epidemic of H5N1 in poultry. In fact, this is an episode of zoonosis in the process of human society. Historically, zoonoses have occurred. However, the social turmoil and losses caused by the death toll of H5N1 only caused by the small number of SARS deaths in recent two years are as much as those of SARS. Especially people do not understand H5N1 and public opinion hype has brought people’s psychology to talk about birds Color change of the situation. All human beings have an understanding of anything from ignorance to preliminary understanding and further understanding of the epidemic as well as other bird flu. In fact, there must be a biological process of virus mutation, which should be given sufficient attention in preventing the spread of pathogens. People should have greater initiative in preventing and controlling the outbreak of infectious diseases. As Academician Hou Yunde analyzed: Making all preparations well and scientifically and effectively is likely to block the spread of the pandemic for the first time in human history.
