Five hundred years ago, tragedies in the Americas were repeated: disaster relief in Tonga, a Western country, brought with it the new crown virus, and outbreaks in "zero confirmed" countries.
Recently, the Tonga volcano erupted, and Western countries such as Australia and Japan have sent aircraft and fleets to Tonga for disaster relief.
As a result, due to the epidemic prevention policy of pulling the crotch, many people in the rescue team were diagnosed.
What is even more frightening is that these Western rescue teams have brought the new crown virus to the previous "zero diagnosis" of the Kingdom of Tonga.
A soup processor involved in the delivery of international disaster relief supplies was confirmed, becoming the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Tonga after the global outbreak.
Since then, many people in Tonga have been infected and the epidemic has begun to intensify.
For Tonga, which was destroyed by the volcanic eruption, the outbreak was completely worse due to the fragile medical resources.
Under such circumstances, Tonga declared an emergency lockdown throughout its territory.
This scene is very similar to the tragedy of the Americas 500 years ago.
500 years ago, Europeans discovered the New World, and as Westerners set foot in the Americas, viruses such as smallpox followed.
The 5 million Native Americans who originally lived on the American continent were completely unimmunized to the virus and eventually died in large numbers. The Aztec and Inca civilizations of the American continent disappeared completely.
Netizens commented: "In today's internationalized world, the epidemic prevention policy of Western countries pulling crotches ultimately endangers not only themselves, but also other countries, which has been revealed in Tonga. ”
