Wuhan, Beijing and Qingdao each added 14 new positive COVID-19 cases, 4 cases and 1 case.
The 19 positive cases have a common feature, they all participated in a 66-person company training in Wuhan.
In addition to this special training, the company called Ruxin China, the voice of suspected pyramid schemes also came.
Super spread field
The Beijing Winter Olympics have just ended, and the new crown epidemic has once again entered the public eye.
From point to line to surface, this special round of virus transmission, from a 66-person staff training meeting, spread to other cities.
It can be seen that the current round of epidemic has gradually spread, and there are still potential hidden dangers.
It is understood that 24 of the 66 personnel who participated in the training in Wuhan have left and dispersed to other cities.
The prevention and control work is very arduous.
In fact, the chain of epidemic transmission caused by training courses, lectures, etc. has not appeared for the first time.
In January 2021, a 44-year-old male lecturer in a health product training class in Heilongjiang caused at least 141 related cases of infection.
In May 2021, a training class at a photo studio base in Liaoning province led to 15 people infected with the new crown virus.
In December 2021, a 40-square-meter moxibustion health center in Ningbo held a health lecture, resulting in 10 people being diagnosed with new coronavirus cases.
The number of participants in such health classroom lectures and training places is generally not small.
Dozens or hundreds of people are in a confined space, exposed to high concentrations of aerosol environment for a long time, and many people still have a fluke mentality and do not wear masks, which aggravates the spread of the virus.
Previously, a study used the case of a "cluster of 13 infections caused by public transportation" to analyze the possibility of aerosol transmission in a confined environment.
The study found that the spread distance of the new coronavirus in the air-conditioned carriage can reach up to 4.5 meters, and the virus can float in the air for at least 30 minutes and cause the onset of infection.
Since employee training, lectures and other gathering activities in confined spaces are natural "breeding grounds" for viruses, why do people still flock to them?
Outside contact
In fact, whether it is a company training meeting or a health seminar, it is a group activity.
The elderly enjoy participating in health classes tirelessly, in addition to the anxiety about physical health, but also because of their resistance to loneliness.
Companies are keen to hold annual meetings and various training sessions, partly for the sake of the company's better development, and even more because human beings inherently need to connect with the outside world on a regular basis.
Before the epidemic, this kind of gathering activity was as common as eating and drinking, and it belonged to a social normalization phenomenon.
During the epidemic period, this way of contact with the outside world has become the target of public criticism, and has even been named "the public enemy of mankind".
In fact, this creates the problem of putting the cart before the horse, there is no problem in listening to training and lectures, and not complying with epidemic prevention regulations is the key.
Did the company's employees who attended the training comply with the 14-day quarantine measures? Are there strict compliance with the regulations for temperature checks and nucleic acid tests? Did you wear a mask throughout the training session?
These are the places where we should pay attention to and question, rather than denying all activities of contact between people and the outside world.
The pandemic has become the norm, and we can't ask everyone to stay home and not go out.
As an individual in society, everyone always has to work, travel, go out to see a doctor, go out to take exams, and cannot cut off contact with the world because of the epidemic.
Just imagine, when people are cut off from the outside world, what will be everyone's life like?
The most realistic example is the elderly who have been abandoned by the intelligent era.
Because the elderly cannot operate smart phones and cannot open the health code, they are reprimanded by the bus driver and driven off the bus.
Elderly people go to consumption, and merchants refuse to accept their cash.
Elderly people go to buy train tickets, do not operate self-service ticket machines, and kneel for the staff.
There are even old people who sell vegetables, the two-dimensional code is dropped, and the hard money earned every day falls into the pockets of others.
Because they don't know anything about smartphones, the elderly are "out of touch" with the outside world and abandoned by the world.
Especially in special periods, losing contact with the outside world means that life is in crisis.
In the documentary "Old Mobile Phone", Uncle Li of Wuhan is a veteran who has fought against SARS and floods.
But during the lockdown in Wuhan in 2020, because he did not have a smartphone and could not buy food, he and his wife fell into the dilemma of no food.
Finally, relying on the neighbors downstairs to buy some vegetables and fruits and other foods with their mobile phones, they were able to cross this information island.
Although many young people are now good at and keen on solitude, in a certain period, social living is still the eternal state of human beings.
We often say that man is a social animal.
In this fast-paced era, the transmission of information, the exchange of resources, and the acquisition of opportunities all need to be carried out through social activities.
Therefore, in the special period of the epidemic, every activity we have is in contact with the outside world and the process of self-knowledge.
The existence of the virus should not be denied an activity that is taken for granted by human beings.
Spreading into pyramid schemes?
As bystanders, we don't criticize employees who go out to participate in training.
However, the special features of this round of epidemics are inevitably infuriating.
According to media reports, the new company that held the training meeting was suspected of pyramid schemes, and even some employees died as a result.
The spread of an epidemic has set off the "black veil" of pyramid schemes.
People's Daily has reported three times in depth that Ruxin's "scam" has been exposed:
New fabrications of scientific research and dissemination of false information.
The use of the group effect to "brainwash" people for mind control
Absorb members with pyramidal MLM model
In 2019, 34-year-old salesman Lin Mou was deeply controlled by "brainwashing", refused medical treatment after falling ill, and relied on drinking ruxin-developed juice to "detoxify", and finally died tragically.
Some lawyers revealed that for example, the new company develops the hierarchy with a "pyramidal" structure, so as to obtain economic benefits.
This marketing model is reminiscent of the micro-business empire of Zhang Ting, a female star suspected of pyramid schemes.
It is also a company opened under the banner of seriousness, and actually does the business of pyramid schemes.
Unlike Zhang Ting's secret company, which claims to use zero hoarding, zero capital, and zero pressure, for example, the new company can only qualify as an agent distributor if it purchases goods to reach the standard amount.
However, the main way for both companies to make money is by pulling "heads" rather than selling products.
This is the typical form of MLM.
They have their own products, but these products are only "props" for huge profits, and the essence is to require participants to develop offline and make profits by "paying entry fees".
After the Spring Festival, it is the job search season for many people looking for new jobs, in the face of many job opportunities, we must polish our eyes and do not be deceived by such pyramid schemes.
Many people are easy to confuse direct sales with MLM and mistakenly fall into the trap.
Generally speaking, the absorption of employees in the form of a pyramid level, the profit is mainly based on the collection of membership fees, drawings, rather than the sale of products in the business practices, is a suspected pyramid scheme company.
Direct sales is a direct sales person who directly represents the enterprise to carry out sales activities, which is legal and aims to sell goods.
Many MLM companies will lure job seekers with gimmicks of monthly income of millions and annual income of tens of millions.
In the process of job search, we must think rationally, where in the world are there so many opportunities to get rich?
Work well down-to-earth, create value with your hands, accumulate wealth little by little, read more books, and learn more about authoritative scientific and legal knowledge in order to avoid getting involved in the trap of pyramid schemes.
Otherwise, the loss of property is relatively light, and the serious may not even have health and life.
