Watching the news yesterday, I saw biden in the United States ordering mourning for the 500,000 deaths caused by the new crown virus in the United States. This is already more than the sum of the United States world war I + world war II + Vietnam war, and this number will continue to increase. The host of cnn also couldn't help but cry when he checked in.
But to be honest, this thing doesn't feel too much for me. One of the reasons for this, one is that the distance is relatively far, the other may be that the reference object is different, I don't know if everyone remembers just a year ago now, when people saw the epidemic report in Hubei, the fear in their hearts was that from the beginning of the epidemic every day, the number of sick people increased from hundreds to thousands, and the number of deaths continued to increase. When faced with more than 85,000 confirmed cases and more than 4,600 deaths, we are heartbroken and sad. Because at that time, our reference was the SARS of the previous 03 years, to know that the entire SARS period, but also people's trepidation, the world's cumulative SARS cases totaled 8422 cases, involving 32 countries and regions. The global number of deaths due to SARS is 919, and the case fatality rate is nearly 11%. And this new crown epidemic we only took one month to exceed the severity of the entire PREVIOUS SARS epidemic. So at that time our hearts were heavy. But with the development of the epidemic in the world, when we have seen tens of millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths, and then come back to this number, we feel numb. A big reason for this is that the references are different.
This reminds me of the illusion of high and low that we often encounter when we make transactions. If you see a book that says to impose a reference on the viewer, the viewer will come up with a high and low rating that you need.
Then when we come back to see, now everyone in the market says to go with the flow, but always think about the problem of high and low, all day long thinking about buying low and selling high, this is very problematic, the height here is based on the future as a reference, and more people will naturally use historical data as a reference. So I prefer to say that the strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak, that is, as long as the rise continues, so many highs are not too high; as long as the decline continues, so many lows are not too low. That's what really came to mind!
