In order to overcome the epidemic situation and ask for answers and methods from science, we need to take the scientific spirit as the guide, work together through the scientific community, and give more professional opinions and suggestions on the premise of scientific research

       General secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that science and technology are the most powerful weapons for human beings to compete with diseases. Human beings cannot do without scientific development and technological innovation. At present, hard work is still needed to win the people's war, the general war and the resistance war. The more this happens, the more we must insist on asking for answers and methods from science.

       Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the national science and technology front has resolutely implemented the important speech and important directive spirit of general secretary Xi Jinping and the decision making and deployment of the Central Committee of the CPC. It has provided strong scientific and technological support for epidemic prevention and control with the fine style of dedication and rigorous professionalism. In order to overcome the epidemic situation and ask for answers and methods from science, we need to take the scientific spirit as the guide, work together through the scientific community, and give more professional opinions and suggestions on the premise of scientific research.

       The spirit of science is to radiate science to the masses, nourish the thoughts of the masses and internalize the behaviors of the masses. In the face of the sudden epidemic situation, the scientific community needs to bear the professional responsibility of scientific popularization and dissemination in time, and guide the public to have scientific cognition and rational treatment. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Association for science and technology, as the largest scientific community in China, has responded rapidly, and proposed that scientific and technological workers should carry out scientific research to tackle the epidemic and provide scientific and technological volunteer services. In particular, around "epidemic prevention and Panic Prevention", we actively carried out emergency science popularization, organized national societies and local science and technology associations, and used platforms such as science popularization China, scientific rumor refutation and digital science and Technology Museum to conduct scientific guidance, anti epidemic guidance and psychological counseling. The total reading volume of the platform at the same level of China Science and Technology Association has exceeded 5.5 billion times. Zhong Nanshan, Li Lanjuan, Zhang Wenhong and other experts also spoke actively, using facts, details and science to analyze the epidemic situation, so that the truth "wins" rumors, and effectively enhanced the whole society's awareness of prevention and control of the epidemic.

       Scientific prevention and control need to believe in science, rely on science and respect scientific laws. Foreign scientists praised the professionalism of China's epidemic prevention and control, because they put scientific prevention and control throughout every link of group prevention and control, leaving no dead space. To win the people's war of epidemic prevention and control, we must arm our minds with science. To this end, we should promote scientific spirit, spread scientific ideas, advocate scientific methods, guide scientific understanding and rational treatment, calm the public mood, overcome panic, and strengthen confidence; guide the public to improve their awareness of prevention, scientific killing, and advocate frequent hand washing, regular ventilation, and wearing masks; sink popular science propaganda into communities, village groups and online space, so as to improve the scientific quality of the public Improve everyone's prevention and control ability based on quality. When the public examines and analyzes problems with a scientific perspective and attitude, it will enhance its recognition ability and follow scientific laws to predict and respond.

       Viruses have no borders. All countries should fight together. The novel coronavirus pneumonia be the most changeful thing in the field of human cognition. It is unknown and changeable. Novel coronavirus was identified by China scientists in the shortest time, and its gene sequence, potential host receptor and main clinical characteristics were published, which provided a knowledge base for disease tracing and drug research and development in the world. When the virus spreads across national boundaries, the scientific community should strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, share scientific research data and information, provide solutions for the global fight against the epidemic as soon as possible with high-quality scientific research results, feasible policy suggestions and joint actions, and demonstrate scientific and technological value and common strength in the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

       At present, with the overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, the public still has a large number of popular science needs in daily life and resumption of production, which requires the scientific community to strengthen information communication and sharing with the joint defense and joint control mechanism and authoritative media, organize scientific interpretation in combination with the progress of epidemic prevention and control, carry out the dialogue between scientists and the public, better understand the doubts and enhance the response capacity. We should focus on scientific prevention and control, economic development, psychological counseling and other aspects to increase the dissemination of science popularization creation, so as to provide accurate, timely and effective public products of high-quality science popularization for the public. In the long run, we should also make up the short board of the system and mechanism of emergency science popularization in the construction of the national emergency system as soon as possible, and improve the system construction, so as to better let the scientific spirit and scientific methods take root in the masses.
