Adhere to the bottom line thinking and make long-term preparations.

"We should adhere to the bottom line thinking and make ideological and work preparations to deal with changes in the external environment for a long time." "It is necessary to coordinate the promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development work. The prevention and control work of external prevention and import and internal prevention and rebound must not be relaxed, and the work of economic and social development must be intensified." On April 8, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and delivered an important speech, making an updated judgment on the current situation and making scientific arrangements for the implementation of normalized epidemic prevention and control measures and the comprehensive promotion of the resumption of work and production. There are both long-term preparations and urgent responses, which provide important follow-up and higher requirements for the next step.
The so-called bottom line thinking is to "look at the worst, make the most adequate preparations, work in a good direction, and strive for the best results." Only in this way can we be prepared, do not panic, and firmly grasp the initiative. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the need to adhere to bottom-line thinking in various tasks, deal with major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles, and resolve major contradictions without bottom-line thinking. The ongoing war "epidemic" has deepened our understanding of these four words.
As the main battlefield of epidemic prevention and control, Wuhan city from resolutely take "sealing the city" to lift the control measures from Han and Hubei, and gradually restore normal production and life order in a safe and orderly manner, itself is always adhere to the bottom line thinking effect. A series of deployments and measures introduced during this period also fully reflect the risk consideration of "looking at the worst", and have won the best result of "waking up" a modern city with a population of tens of millions.
However, Wuhan "unsealing" does not mean "defusing", and the basic interruption of the spread of the epidemic in the country does not mean that the epidemic cases are completely "rooted". On the one hand, the world as a whole is still at the peak of the epidemic, the downside risks to the world economy have intensified, unstable and uncertain factors have increased significantly, and China is facing increasing pressure on the import of the epidemic; on the other hand, the risks posed by asymptomatic infections and possible omissions of patients cannot be ignored. The complexity, long-term nature and arduousness of epidemic prevention and control determine that the bottom line thinking must be carried out throughout the war "epidemic", and that long-term preparations must be made, and that the epidemic prevention and control network must be "tied more closely and firmly to plug all loopholes that may lead to a rebound in the epidemic".
Weaving a dense network and plugging loopholes means that we should continue to do a good job in the normal prevention and control of the epidemic, and continue to pay close attention to the key links and risk points. "Foreign anti-import" controls immigration and implements a centralized isolation system for inbound personnel without discrimination. At present, China's open land border ports overseas epidemic import pressure is greater, on the basis of continuing to improve the closed loop, to increase the border city epidemic prevention and control personnel and material support efforts, coordinate and solve the difficulties encountered in health and quarantine, epidemic prevention materials, medical forces, isolation conditions and other aspects, compact territorial prevention and control responsibilities, support border areas to improve detection, treatment capacity. "Internal anti-rebound" tight prevention and control fence, continue to develop differentiated effective strategies for different risk levels. Hubei Province and Wuhan City should establish a long-term mechanism for epidemic prevention and control, continue to do a good job in the management of community closure and control, focus on the protection of densely populated places, "ensure stability" in the process of "orderly release", and consolidate the hard-won effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control. All localities should strengthen the management of asymptomatic infected people, take the monitoring, tracking, isolation and treatment of asymptomatic infected people as the focus of prevention and control, and report and deal with them in a timely manner.
be prepared for danger in times of peace. Only by fully estimating the difficulties and challenges, making the plan more thorough, responding more forcefully, actively seeking ways and means to avoid systemic risks, resolve complex contradictions, and seek innovative development, and firmly holding the bottom line, can we accelerate the restoration of production and living order under the normal conditions of epidemic prevention and control, and strive to win the double victory of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.
