At present, the new crown virus is still raging around the world, and countries have responded to the epidemic with a series of measures. But, surprisingly, monkeypox is back, and with a rare global spread, will it become another global pandemic?
Monkeypox is not a newly discovered virus. As early as 1958, researchers discovered the virus in monkeys used in a laboratory in Denmark for research, hence the name monkeypox. But it wasn't until 1970 that the Dr. Congo discovered and reported its first case of human monkeypox infection.
Monkeypox virus and smallpox virus belong to the same family of viruses. Monkeypox virus is mainly divided into two taxa, Congo type and West African type, of which Congo type has stronger transmissibility and pathogenicity than West African type. The monkeypox virus, which was transmitted in non-historical endemic countries and regions, belongs to the West African type.
An important reason why the monkeypox epidemic this year has aroused global vigilance is that its transmission range has broken through the historical endemic area and begun to circulate in many countries and regions around the world.
According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, of the 31,800 monkeypox cases currently reported worldwide (as of August 9), 31,425 cases have been reported by countries and regions that have not had monkeypox outbreaks in history. In terms of outbreak sites, of the 89 countries and regions that reported monkeypox outbreaks, 82 had not previously had a monkeypox outbreak.
U.S. epidemiologist Edwin Michael believes that although the monkeypox epidemic has spread to many countries and regions that are not historically endemic, it is unlikely to become a pandemic like the new crown virus. "First of all, from the perspective of the monkeypox virus itself, its infectivity is much lower than that of the currently circulating strain of the new crown virus." Michael explained that monkeypox is usually transmitted through close contact with infected people, and this human-to-human transmission is less contagious than transmission through the respiratory tract. "As you can see from the long history of monkeypox transmission in West Africa, there have never been large-scale outbreaks there."
However, it is worth noting that many countries such as the United States, France, and Germany have reported cases of monkeypox infection in children. According to WHO, children infected with monkeypox virus are more likely to develop severe illness than adolescents and adults infected, and vigilance is needed to ensure that monkeypox virus does not spread among groups such as children.
According to CCTV News, on August 10, Dong Xiaoping, chief expert of virology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council that no cases of monkeypox have been found in the mainland. In June, the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Monkeypox (2022 Edition)", which provides guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of monkeypox in various places. In the next step, we will continue to further strengthen the prevention and control of monkeypox. Read the full >>>
The United States is currently the country with the largest number of confirmed monkeypox cases in the world. On August 4, the Biden administration declared the monkeypox outbreak a "public health emergency." Former US President Trump has also encountered an "emergency" in recent days, and after his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, was searched by the FBI, Trump was questioned by prosecutors in New York.
New York State prosecutors accuse the Trump Organization of misleading lenders and tax authorities about asset values in order to obtain loans and tax breaks. Trump appeared at the New York Attorney General's Office on August 10 local time, and during hours of questioning, Trump has been invoking the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to refuse to answer questions, which gives U.S. citizens the right to remain silent in the face of criminal proceedings.
Details of the New York State prosecutors' investigation into Trump's alleged fraud have been disclosed in previous prosecutorial documents. New York state prosecutors say they have significant evidence that the Trump Organization misled lenders and tax authorities about the value of large assets such as golf courses and skyscrapers; Among them, the Trump Organization exaggerated the area of Trump's penthouse in Manhattan, New York, nearly 3 times, inflating the value of about $200 million.
Next, The Associated Press said, New York state prosecutors could file a lawsuit demanding financial penalties against Trump or his company, or even banning them from certain types of business transactions.
In addition to the FBI search of Trump's residence and the investigation of prosecutors in New York State, Trump also faces a Congressional riot investigation by the House Special Committee, an investigation by the Justice Department into his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 US election, an investigation into the election results of Fulton County, Georgia, and an investigation into the tax records of some lawmakers.

Recently, the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued a risk reminder saying that if there is a "China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission" and "Certification by the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission", or a self-proclaimed staff contact consumers, under the guise of regulatory authority to require transfer, remittance, payment and other behaviors, consumers should maintain a high degree of vigilance and report to the public security organs as soon as possible.
Micro-particle loan 114,000 yuan, Bank of Communications Huimin loan 200,000 yuan, BOC Consumer Finance 74,200 yuan, Bank of Guangzhou cash installment of 300,000 yuan, Guangfa Bank 218,500 yuan, Ping An Bank 274,400 yuan... Together with other online loans and some personal savings and wealth management, a total of 1.364 million yuan.
Mr. Xie showed reporters the amount of money that was "defrauded" in his personal loan records. And all this experience has to start with a "customer service call".
At that time, the whole person was in a state of Mongolia, and in the name of the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, they said that they wanted to "recover assets", constantly output professional words, and constantly manipulated to make you obey instructions. Mr. Xie of Guangzhou said. A "customer service" call made Mr. Xie carry a loan of more than 1.3 million yuan, almost ruining his family.
Similarly, Zhang Xiao (pseudonym) in Beijing also suffered a similar scam, with all 700,000 deposits under his name being defrauded by fake customer service, in addition to 300,000 loans.
The reporter found that there are many such scam routines, and most of them use the blind spot of consumer credit knowledge to commit fraud.
In this regard, financial observer Bi Yanguang told reporters that the biggest factor affecting credit reporting is the credit record of individuals in financial institutions or financial environments, and the basic requirements for transfers under the banners of "abnormal accounts affect credit information", "undescribed loan accounts affect credit information", "credit information can be repaired" and so on are basically fraudulent.
The frequent occurrence of such fake customer service telecommunications fraud has also brought personal information security issues to attention again. The reporter found that the channels for criminals to purchase personal information are various, and the degree of detail of personal information sold on the Internet is staggering. From the leakage of personal information, the resale of personal information to the purchase of personal information by criminals to carry out fraud, all links are interlocked.
In this regard, Meng Zedong, a lawyer at Beijing Yingke Law Firm, said that personal information leakage is generally a necessary precursor to telecommunications fraud, and consumers should enhance their awareness of personal information protection and handle personal sensitive information cautiously.

According to statistics, in the first half of 2022, there were 155 new dramas nationwide, many of which achieved double harvests in ratings and word of mouth. Behind these episodes, it is inseparable from the "co-production" of the "screw" that never stops turning in the industrial chain.
From watching the scene, outreaching, to group coordination, organizing group performances, they string together every seemingly insignificant detail in the shooting, but in fact determines success or failure, but often their names, like countless film and television grassroots workers busy in the front line, drowned in 2 times the speed of the end subtitles.
"Watching the scene" is the most important part of the crew's preparation period, and it is also the first inspection of the crew to co-shoot. At this point, a mature local co-production team constitutes the most important rhizome they have rooted in this strange land.
At the beginning of 2020, the art department of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", directed by Zheng Xiaolong and starring Zhao Liying and Luo Jin, stopped in Huangshan for more than three months to find scenes for this 40-episode long-form rural drama. As a local co-shooter in Huangshan, Yang Dawei has lived here for nearly two decades and is familiar with towns, villages, and even grass and trees. After Yang Dawei eliminated some places that were not suitable for filming and inconvenient transportation, he provided "N" alternatives and drove with the crew to screen one by one.
"In fact, time is spent on the distance, and you can't see several scenes a day." Yang Dawei said frankly.
But "seeing the scene" is only the beginning of the co-production and the crew's dealings. After a play is confirmed to be stationed in the local area, the crew from the director, actors to the staff, as few as dozens of people, as many as hundreds of people food, transportation, what grade of hotel to live in, what special requirements, all logistical matters must be jointly guaranteed by the crew's outreach production and co-production. "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" is the largest drama that Yang Dawei has ever touched, with more than 400 resident staff; During the peak period, he joined group B shooting, and there will be more people, all of which were arranged by him.
After the official start of filming, the co-production should also communicate the scene and traffic route of the next day in advance in accordance with the requirements of the crew coordination.
Although there are many scenes in "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", what makes Yang Dawei happy is that at least they can be reached by car; Even small streets and alleys, across the river, can be passed by tricycle or ferry boat. A few years ago, Yang Dawei participated in the filming of a movie, one of which was filmed on a high mountain, and the car could not go up at all. The crew also had to take advantage of the heavy snow to grab the shooting, the ropeway was not open, and all the bulky cameras and props could only rely on co-shooting and staff to carry the mountain together. "But [this kind of scene] is unattainable, and if you miss it, you're gone!" I can only carry it, no way (laughs). ”
Yang Dawei laughed and said that the TV series is now so good, he feels great satisfaction, and the fatigue and suffering of several months of long-distance travel to assist in filming have been swept away, "Good works are still more important." You ask me how much money I make, and it doesn't make much money, but if you work hard, serve the crew well, and have good works presented to the audience, you will also feel happy. To put it bluntly, when I'm old, I can also brag to people." Read the full >>>
