    Cherries have always been a representative of mid-to-high-end fruits, so there is a ridicule of "cherry freedom" among the people
    .
    Affected by the bumper harvest in the production area and the global epidemic this year, the price of imported cherries is lower than in previous years
    .
    As the Spring Festival approaches, imported cherries are ready to go, but I didn’t expect.
    .
    .
     
     
     It’s not surprising that “inner packaging is positive for nucleic acid”.
    As I said in my article (link) two days ago, testing the outer packaging of imported cold-chain food is “doing one’s work and knowing the destiny” because you can never rule out “negative on the outside and positive on the inside” Situation
    .
    I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
    It’s really a crow.
     
    In fact, as long as the scope of testing is expanded, any imported product (not limited to food, not limited to cold chain) may be tested positive (Crow's Mouth×10086)
    .
    The key is whether such a positive actually means that it is contagious, and does the prevention and control of such a positive capture the "main contradiction" for the overall epidemic prevention? Not really
    .

     
    I have analyzed the new epidemic in Beijing before
    .
    According to China's huge consumption frequency and scale, if you eat salmon to catch the new crown, you will never see the only cases and outbreaks in Beijing
    .
    In the same way, if imported cold chain foods or other commodities can cause consumer infections, according to China's massive imports and consumption frequency, various unrelated sporadic cases should have already caused troubles everywhere
    .
     
    At present, there are basically two types of epidemics in various places.
    One is the person-to-person transmission caused by the infection of cold chain practitioners, and the other is the person-to-person transmission caused by the imported personnel.
    The super-spreading incidents that lead to the expansion of the epidemic are all person-to-person transmission
    .
    Therefore, it is obvious that prevention of people is better than prevention of objects.
    Early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment are the truths that have remained unchanged for many years in epidemic prevention and control
    .
     
    The epidemiology of some previous cases pointed to cold chain food and cold chain practitioners, so strengthening the preventive elimination of cold chain food outer packaging and the nucleic acid monitoring of practitioners is relatively "targeted
    .
    " However, without any epidemiological direction, the scope of detection began to be expanded.
    It was purely suspicious, shocked, stubborn, angry, and full of horrors
    .
     
    After the new outbreak in Beijing, expanded monitoring of various seafood has made the entire industry worse
    .
    Since Tianjin's ice cream was positive, the so-called "investigation" in various places has become more and more like a wildfire
    .
    Large-scale, one-size-fits-all, repetitive nucleic acid testing on food outer packaging, inner packaging, contents, cold chain food, imported food, and even domestic food that uses imported ingredients, seems to be "strictly guarding against death", but actually "eyebrows and beards" "
    .
     
    The result is nothing more than "virus positive" blooming everywhere.
    The people are so scared that they have nothing to do with the ass.
    In the end, they end up hurting the people and wealth, causing the country and the people
    .

     
    Behind this phenomenon is the fear of the accountability pressure of "ineffective epidemic prevention and control", and the portrayal of disrespect for science, disregarding the overall situation, and dare not to take responsibility
    .
    Practice has proved that the existing prevention and control measures are effective.
    The current problem is often not that there are loopholes in the rules, but that there are loopholes in the implementation of the rules
    .
    Randomly increasing prevention and control measures is the same as the abuse of "wartime state" criticized by Xinhua News Agency a few days ago, and it is a manifestation of lazy government
    .
     
    As the saying goes, "One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.
    " Many people in the food industry are now worried and feel that they can no longer be allowed to command and toss like this
    .
    What should be prevented and what should be released, the national level should give advice as soon as possible
    .
    Of course, some people in the industry (such as me) think, toss, I just look at the final picture
     
    Import trade is not about stopping you want to stop, and control measures are not about doing what you want
    .
    Does the WTO know? Do you know the Chinese defendant? We can be confident, but don't be willful
    .
    Decisions must be based on science, rationality and evidence, or they will cause international jokes and international lawsuits
    .
