How to treat diseases like COVID-19?

Marxist principles contained in COVID-19.

There are three laws in Marxist philosophy's understanding of materialist dialectics, namely, the law of unity of opposites, the law of negation of negation and the law of quantitative change and qualitative change. Marxist philosophy includes the general theory of Marxism and scientific socialism, Marxist philosophy and Marxist political economy. As a philosophy, Marxism has a close relationship with medicine. Philosophy and medicine understand the essence of COVID-19. Philosophy is a generalization, summary and reflection of the existing knowledge, while medicine emphasizes exploring new knowledge by empirical methods, and deeply excavating the inner connotation of COVID-19, such as the source of infection, the way of transmission, and the methods of diagnosis and treatment. Medicine emphasizes a single field, such as coronary pneumonia and other diseases, which is a partial view, while philosophy takes the whole world as the object and adopts a methodological holistic view. For COVID-19's understanding, medicine is more in-depth and philosophy is relatively general. Medicine provides material for philosophy, and philosophy relies on the knowledge provided by medicine to improve its reliability. Medicine should better study the methodology of philosophical viewpoints and improve the research methods. It can be said that philosophy develops with the development of science, and has always maintained the vitality of development with medicine. Let's talk about the principles of Marxist philosophy contained in the COVID-19 epidemic:

Thinking and existing problems

1. The unity of thinking and existence belongs to thinking. This path strengthens rationality itself, which will make "the instinct and unconditional premise of our theoretical thinking" exist outside consciousness. Because the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is a public health emergency, human beings have a vague understanding of this new thing, and practice is blind under the premise of ignoring epistemology, which can not achieve the effect of disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. 2. The unified foundation of the relationship between thinking and existence belongs to natural existence. This way of understanding pneumonia in COVID-19 will be understood from the intuitive form of the object, ignoring the subjective role and social practice, that is, the feasible diagnosis and treatment plan and control measures, which may also lead to the outbreak of COVID-19. Only practice based on epistemology can effectively transform nature, correctly understand the interaction between thinking and existence, and effectively control the COVID-19 epidemic.

Contact and development view

From the contact point of view, the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic has its unique reasons, such as bad eating habits (bats and wild animals), early disease control efficiency, people's self-defense awareness and other internal and external factors.

From the perspective of development, the development of things is universal and objective. The progress and rise of things is the result of new things replacing old things. From SARS in 2003 to COVID-19 this year, it is the process of new things replacing old things. With the continuous development of human science and technology, the structure, nature and types of viruses are constantly updated, which has certain objectivity.

Dialectics of cognitive materialism

The law of unity of opposites reveals the source and motive force of the development of things. The movement of things lies in their own contradictory movement. The control of COVID-19 mainly depends on the struggle between the number of people diagnosed and the number of people cured, and finally the number of people in COVID-19 is effectively controlled. This theory guides us to pay attention to the opposite relationship between increase and decrease.

The law of quantitative change and qualitative change, everything from quantitative change to qualitative change. The number of patients in COVID-19 has grown from a few hundred at the beginning to tens of thousands now, and each stage of each change in quantity means the change in quantity at each stage, which has a certain guiding role for China to effectively formulate whether to close the city, and the formulation of sub-regional risk management and control policies in Anhui Province is the embodiment of this plan.

Negation of negation: the development and change of anything is the negation of new things and the result of the contradiction between affirmation and negation within things. When COVID-19 was in power, the old SARS emergency control system was no longer suitable for the effective control of COVID-19 in China today, and the future development may critically inherit the old system. As Academician Zhong Nanshan said, the status of China's CDC is too low, reporting at different levels, without certain autonomy, and there is a certain lag. It may be revised after many discussions, which is also the application of this principle.
