What should I do if the epidemic comes again?

The global pandemic of only one new type of coronavirus has currently caused the deaths of 3 million people.

But in the knowledge base of Xu Jianguo , a medical microbiologist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering , there are still many potential crises in the world.

"But there is no microorganism that exists to'cause' human beings.

How to play "first move"?

China Kexue Yuan academician Gao Fu, Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Chen Jun Shi, Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Xu Jianguo, Chinese Kexue Yuan academician Zhao Guoping and professor of Zhongshan University School of Public Health Lujia Hai as Executive Chairman of the joint preparations for the Xiangshan Science Conference "same health and human health" as the theme for When the epidemic comes again, the "ultimate prescription"-"One Health" (One Health) is an effective strategy to meet public health challenges.

Experts at the meeting believe that humans, animals, microorganisms, and the environment are all included in the "same health" system, and human health, animal health, and environmental health are formed into an organic whole for research.

Background investigation is urgent

Humans are constantly beating the "Pandora's Box" of nature, and over-exploitation and tourism have greatly increased the chance of pathogens spreading across species.

According to data, the American Ecological Health Alliance has launched a project called "PREDICT" in 2009, and has received 200 million US dollars of funding to search for viruses in wild animals in 31 countries, collect samples, analyze sequences, and store data.

"Our country should also carry out the background investigation of the pathogenic resources of wild animals as soon as possible.

The background investigation is to obtain the knowledge base of "same health" from the dimension of nature, so as to fill the "blind spot" in human perception of the impact of pathogens on health.

"The most ideal situation is that once a case occurs, the host and source can be found immediately through comparison.

"Whistleblower" and "whistleblower" are magic weapons

"Only relying on clinicians as'whistleblowers' may not be able to give early warning in time.

In fact, many cases show that animals are also “whistle blowers” ​​of human disease risk.

"Most infectious diseases are zoonotic.

According to reports, about 20% of human-infected drug-resistant bacteria originate from food animals.

"In the era of the Internet of Everything, there are many new modalities for monitoring methods.

"If these data can be well evaluated and mined, it will greatly improve the accuracy and speed of early warning.

Big data "collection" directly locked

Whether it is the data perceived by the terminal or any data related to the environment, people, animals, and pathogens, it may reveal the "clues" of the next epidemic.

However, the "clues" are hidden in massive amounts of data, and only by mining "collections" can correct predictions be given.

"Infectious disease epidemic information, sequencing information, patient information.
.
.
The current information collection is passive.
" Yang Ruifu said that a national data center suitable for "same health" is needed to make data from passive collection to active capture .

"What we want to solve is the prevention and control of major infectious diseases facing people's lives and health, and the early warning and prediction of new infectious diseases.
It is not feasible to do it alone.
" Li Liming, a professor at the School of Public Health of Peking University, said that we must not only establish new types of infectious diseases.
Databases.
Existing databases should never form a "data chimney".

From the perspective of the information industry, the IT (information technology) era has moved towards the DT (data processing technology) era, and the existence of any substance can be transformed into data information.
In the DT era, the concept of "same health" cannot bypass the integration and mining of human, animal, pathogen, environmental and other data.
Only the sharing of information and data can achieve the ultimate goal of people's life and health.
