【人民好医生-白衣守护462】疫情期间，我们在中国│在中国参加神经外科专科医生培训的非洲医师

There is an old adage that when rumors get to the ears of a wise person it ends there. Conspiracy theorists have been so busy making hay of the virus. People should be encouraged to share facts not rumors. A toxic mixture of limited information and fake news spread by the public on social media in this age of interconnectedness causes misinformation about the coronavirus to outpaced its spread, reaching millions of people around the world in a flash. The spread of misinformation is already commonplace on social media where the sharing of content from biased sources frequently outpaces whatever fact-checking and moderation safeguards are in place.

I hope that this time would strengthen solidarity around the world and help us all fortify fraternity towards a common goal of fighting this Pandemic.

There were those moments of fear at first degree but we have continue to work with courage  and assuring our family, relatives and friends at home that we are keeping safe. Because of the outbreak the admission procedure has being very strict even for emergency cases. Therefore, we have experienced drop in our patients load but it has not been a vacation for me. Relatively, in February apart from all the other clinical work we had 3-5 emergency surgeries on average per week and 5-7 emergency surgeries per week this March.

The conspiracy theories have done nothing but create fear, rumors and prejudices that jeopardize the global collaboration in the fight against the virus.

From a personal point of view during the epidemic, l was leaving in Shenyang, a city located at Northeast of the country. The COVID-19 outbreak was my first experience to be in a country with an epidemic, fear of course is a human instinct which we do encounter during crisis.Curiously, as l stood and grazed through the window of my flat the busy streets of this beautiful and vibrant city were deserted, no more fleet of cars and sea of heads except for a few.The support from family, friends, the International Student Center and Neuro- Surgical Department of the China Medical University was commendable.

COVID-19 doesn’t know borders, race, gender, age, or status. What is vivid is it’s a zoonotic infection that affects humans.

Because fighting it is not the work of a doctor only but rather the people as a whole to fight this epidemic which has become a pandemic to date, in order to improve human health on earth, developed and underdeveloped countries must take collective responsibility for reaching an agreement on the eradication of this pandemic.

"HARDSHIPS OFTEN PREPARE ORDINARY PEOPLE FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY DESTINY. "

To be honest, all credits are absolutely deserved to Chinese government for its immediate response on the matter, for providing cares, and basic needs to us and on control efforts taken toward the epidemic control. In deed we are much grateful to Chinese government and Chinese people. 

Should be no racism , xenophobic or discrimination remarks or gestures to any ethnic groups of Chinese people or Asians , they cannot be the scapegoats for outbreak because according to WHO report , the outbreak of COVID-19 in outside China has no epidemiological links to China as the infected people in other countries have no history of traveling to China.
