BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) — For Wang Juru, a tea grower from an ethnic Li village on the tropical Hainan island, President Xi Jinping appeared to be an ‘ordinary guy’ to whom the once impoverished farmer could easily relate.

“He came to my home and asked about our lives, like how our house was built and how the government subsidies were provided,” Wang said as she recalled Xi’s tour earlier this month to the once impoverished mountain village of Maona.

“He also visited our tea factory and asked about the business,” she said. “It was just like chatting with family.”

During his about five decades in politics, Xi rose from a grassroots Party chief to the leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC), from an ordinary citizen to the country’s president, from an average military officer to the Central Military Commission chairman, all while remaining committed to a better life for Chinese citizens.

THE SON OF THE LOESS LANDS

Xi visited the small village of Liangjiahe in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province in mid-February to mark China’s Spring Festival in 2015.

It was a homecoming for the urban-born Chinese President.

Fifty-three years back, Xi, just shy of turning 16, was sent to live in Liangjiahe as an “educated youth.”

He would spend the next seven of his most formative years living in that rural hamlet. That area, part of the Loess Plateau, was where the Communist revolutionaries, including his father, rose to found New China.

“At that time, I did all kinds of work — reclaiming wasteland, farming, hoeing, herding, hauling coal, mounding, and carrying manure,” Xi later recalled.

At the end of a day’s labor, he would return to his primitive, flea-infested cave house and sleep on a simple clay bed. That first-hand experience with poverty would stay with him.

For all its discomfort and bitterness, Xi’s coming of age in that remote corner of China left him with an intimate understanding of rural life in this populous country, an acute self-awareness, and an ability to relate to people from many walks of life.

Xi himself spoke of his time in Liangjiahe with fondness in the years to come.

“As a public servant of the people, I have my roots deep in the northern Shaanxi plateau because it cultivated my unchanging mission: to do practical things for the people!” Xi wrote years later in an autobiographical work. “Wherever I go, I will always be a son of the loess lands,” he wrote.

Xi arrived in Liangjiahe as a slightly bewildered teenager and left as a 22-year-old man determined to serve the people.

His love for the grassroots commoners eventually took him on an odyssey across China that saw him labor in different provinces and municipalities.

In the 1980s, when many of his contemporaries were going into business or leaving to study abroad, Xi gave up his comfortable office job in Beijing and chose to work as the deputy Party chief of a small county in north China’s Hebei Province. Later he became the Party chief of Ningde Prefecture, one of the poorest regions in east China’s Fujian Province at the time.

From his early years, Xi seemed uninterested in the trappings of offices. He would travel for days, sometimes into the mountains, to talk with people at the grassroots, learn about their difficulties, and help solve their problems.

While in Ningde, Xi visited almost all its townships, including three of the four without access to paved roads. Xiadang, a township nestled deep in the mountainous area of Shouning County, was one of them. Back then, the average annual per capita net income of farmers in Xiadang was less than 200 yuan (about 31 U.S. dollars). It was one of the poorest townships in Fujian.

At the time, the only road connecting the area to the outside world was a narrow path covered in thick brambles that winded along rocky cliffs. Xi and his team had to walk for two hours on his first trip to Xiadang.

Xi decided it was essential to focus on accessibility for the area to take off. Work began on a highway just months after his first visit, and the road into Xiadang opened in January 1991. By 2020, Xiadang residents’ per capita annual income had increased to 17,289 yuan (about 2,682 U.S. dollars).

Similarly, he described his work in Zhejiang Province by saying he had seen “nearly all of Zhejiang’s mountains and waters.”

He asked officials to “go to the countryside more often and visit farmers’ homes more often” and get their boots dirty to grasp the realities of China the hard way.

“Xi Jinping’s experience in grassroots work has made him more aware of the hardships of ordinary people and more aware of their expectations,” said Yan Shuhan, a professor with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee. “His care for the people is the starting point and fundamental goal of his governance.”

THE SERVANT OF THE PUBLIC

Xi chose to serve the grassroots people in 1982. Thirty years later, the people chose Xi to lead the nation.

On November 15, 2012, Xi Jinping was elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee.

When he addressed journalists that day, he referred to “the people.”

“It is the people who have created history, and it is the people who are true heroes. The people are the source of our strength,” Xi said. “The Chinese people’s aspiration for a better life is the goal to strive for.”

Xi was elected Chinese president at the 12th National People’s Congress four months later.

Fulfilling the people’s aspiration for a better life is always at the center of Xi’s blueprint for the country’s new journey towards “a great modern socialist country.”

He has made it a tradition to visit ordinary people, especially the country’s least privileged groups, in nearly every one of his domestic inspection tours.

He would see, for himself, what ordinary Chinese were eating, whether they had access to clean water and adequate heating in the winter, and learn about their concerns over food safety and environmental protection.

In November 2013, during an inspection tour to the central province of Hunan, Xi visited Shibadong, an ethnic Miao village labeled “poor” at the time.

“What should I call you?” asked illiterate villager Shi Basan as she welcomed Xi into her home. “I am a servant of the people,” Xi introduced himself.

During that tour, Xi put forward the concept of “targeted poverty alleviation” for the first time.

Poverty had plagued China for thousands of years. Despite decades of economic boom, China in 2012 still had 98.99 million people living under the poverty line, with a per capita income of less than 2,300 yuan a year, or about one U.S. dollar a day.

Xi set year 2020 as the deadline for China to eradicate absolute poverty, ensuring all Chinese could take their rightful place as citizens of a well-off society.

Between 2012 and 2020, over 3 million public sector officials were sent from cities and towns to villages to fight poverty “on the front lines.” Nearly 1.6 trillion yuan (about 248.4 billion U.S. dollars) of fiscal funds were invested into poverty alleviation programs.

In February 2021, Xi announced a “complete victory” in eradicating absolute poverty, and with that, China created yet another “miracle” that would “go down in history,” he said.

But Xi’s vision of a better life for the people goes far beyond the already unprecedented feat of feeding and sheltering all of China’s 1.4 billion population.

He wants “better education, more stable jobs, higher incomes, more reliable social security, better medical and health care, improved housing conditions, and a beautiful environment” for all.

Over the past decade, Xi has led China to build the world’s largest infrastructure network while staying committed to realizing fuller employment.

China’s GDP grew 8.1 percent year on year to 114 trillion yuan (18 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2021.

He set the goals to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Last year, the share of days with good air quality rose to 87.5 percent, up 0.5 percentage points from 2020.

The country has the world’s most extensive social security system in scale and the largest middle-income group. Absolute poverty has been eliminated once and for all.

Since 2012, his anti-corruption war has seen more than 400 officials at the ministerial level or above investigated or punished.

Xi was re-elected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee in 2017 and Chinese president in 2018.

According to the Edelman Trust Barometer 2022 China, an annual online survey in its 22nd year, 91 percent of Chinese respondents said they trusted the Chinese government.

In his latest new year’s address to the entire nation, Xi said: “The myriad of things we attend to boil down to matters concerning every household.”

“The concerns of the people are what I always care about, and the aspirations of the people are what I always strive for,” he said.

In an interview with the Guardian in 2017, Cheng Li, director of the John L. Thornton China Center with the U.S. think tank Brookings Institution said the Chinese people view Xi as a strong leader. “He gets things done. He makes Chinese people proud,” Li said.

THE PUPIL OF THE PEOPLE

Xi’s people-centered philosophy also explains why he ordered unwavering efforts to save people’s lives at all costs during the COVID-19 epidemic.

For over two years, China has fought an unprecedented battle to fend off the epidemic, tackling resurgences by sticking to the dynamic zero-COVID policy instead of choosing to “live with” the virus.

So far, this strategy has worked. The government’s practice throughout the epidemic of trying to find and isolate every infected person has largely protected hospitals from becoming overwhelmed and staved off the deaths that have engulfed much of the world.

In essence, what Xi commands to counter the epidemic is a “people’s war” — waged by the people and for the people.

Under Xi’s leadership, millions of community workers were mobilized to regularly disinfect public spaces, check body temperatures, register visitors, and take them to quarantine if necessary.

Grid management and neighborhood watches were initiated in some cities to detect and isolate suspected cases and their close contacts as soon as possible. Tens of thousands of volunteers showed up to help.

At one point, nearly every Chinese was fighting this anti-COVID war.

“There are no heaven-sent heroes in this world, only ordinary people who stepped forward to face the challenge,” Xi said.

The people have been the very source of the CPC’s strength and wisdom ever since the conception of the world’s largest ruling party.

Addressing a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in December 2017, Xi told members of the Political Bureau to “take the people as the teacher, and learn from the people.”

His words were well heeded.

When Chinese authorities drafted the 14th Five-Year Plan, a key blueprint for the country’s economic and social development between 2021 and 2025, more than 1 million comments poured in as public suggestions were solicited online in August 2020.

In April, the CPC asked the Chinese public to contribute opinions on its 20th national congress to take place in the second half of 2022 over issues such as the strict Party governance, high-quality development, comprehensive opening-up, whole-process people’s democracy, law-based state governance, socialist cultural advancement, people’s livelihoods, and ecological progress.

Xi’s own governance philosophy is deeply rooted in the people’s practical, innovative efforts.

Back in the 1990s, limestone processing for cement manufacture used to be the source of livelihood for residents of Yucun in east China’s Zhejiang Province. But the short-lived boom came with a high price for the locals — they had to reel under dusty air and heavy pollution. By the early 2000s, the villagers decided to shut down cement factories to save the environment.

During an inspection tour to Yucun in August 2005, Xi, the then Party chief of Zhejiang, spoke highly of the village’s wise move to shut down mines. Xi put forward the concept of “lucid waters and lush mountains as invaluable assets.” That vision has become a guiding principle in China’s ecological progress nationwide.

Bayazeed Kasi, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party’s advisor on cooperation with the CPC, said the Chinese-style democracy reflects the fact that the CPC heeds the call of the people and has rallied people’s wisdom. The unique advantages of Chinese-style democracy are a key to China’s great achievements, he added.

“Looking back over the 100 years of history, always staying with the people is the secret of the CPC’s great achievements in the annals of history,” said former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama.

Overseas observers said the CPC, led by Xi, has been drawing its inexhaustible strength from the Chinese people to forge ahead with confident strides on its new journey.

While vaccinations of all kinds have always been vital to global health, the COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized just how vital immunizations are in protecting us all from vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunizations are key to preventing many infectious diseases and maintaining the health and well-being of our communities.

National Immunization Awareness Week, April 23-30, presents an opportunity to highlight the collective ways nurses and health-care professionals are at the forefront of health-care delivery to provide evidence-based information to help inform decision-making on vaccines.

Harneek Kapoor, BN’21, is a UCalgary alum who graduated in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. During his preceptorship, he signed up to volunteer at the OKAKI immunization clinic, along with many other UCalgary Nursing students and instructors, which prioritized COVID-19 vaccines for the urban Indigenous community. Shortly after, he started working at the Northgate Immunization Clinic in Calgary’s northeast, run by Alberta Health Services Rapid Response.

“It’s a very efficient and large clinic. We would do hundreds of appointments per day,” says Kapoor of the amount of traffic he saw when COVID-19 vaccines first became available. “One of my biggest memories was immunizing my family, my mom, dad, my sister and a lot of my friends and giving them their first and second dose too.

Kapoor, second from left, with colleagues at the Northgate Immunization Clinic in Calgary’s northeast.

“I’ve seen how important vaccines really are. I’ve kind of transitioned into more public health and working with routine adult vaccinations and I’ve seen how much the community is involved and how people are starting to become more involved in taking initiative in their health,” he says. “It has motivated a lot people to put that at the forefront and everyone’s beginning to understand that even if it’s not for themselves, it’s for their families, their friends, their loved ones.

I really hope we can continue on with this where we make public health and immunizations a priority, make sure we’re not forgetting about that and really realizing how important it is that we have protection as a community.

While COVID vaccines seemingly dominate the conversation these days, childhood and routine adult immunizations are just as important to highlight. Think of all the various immunizations we get for DTaP (Diptheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis) Hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox) to MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), HPV and of course, our annual flu shots.

Debbie Laser, BN’93, is the Faculty of Nursing’s immunization co-ordinator, a role she has held since 2018. When nursing students are first admitted into the program, they need to supply their immunization records to Laser and show proof of childhood immunizations as well as ones they need as a health-care worker. She also tracks student’s N95 fit tests and results.

Debbie Laser is the Faculty of Nursing’s immunization co-ordinator.

“Health-care workers need two doses of varicella for example, whereas the general population, unless you’re born after August 1, 2005 would not have to have that,” says Laser. “Immunization is highly important for the students themselves and for the people they come in contact with and it can absolutely be lifesaving.”

Laser also continues to work in post-partum community services for AHS Rapid Response and Well Child clinics. Her nursing journey has spanned everything from neurosurgery and neo-natal intensive care to public health, where she handled school health and post-partum home visits, to seniors’ health and well-child clinics. “It was hard for me to decide between teaching and nursing but public health gives me a perfect mix of both worlds: it’s teaching health.”

Laser says one of the benefits of all this talk around COVID-19 vaccines is that immunization in general is more on people’s minds and more people are taking responsibility for their own health. She says, “Immunizations are one of the greatest things that has happened for our society. Immunization saves lives.”

At Staff Wellness, UCalgary Nursing alumni Brendan Webster, BN’09, and Eleasa Kerr, BN’18, both work tirelessly to keep our campus healthy and safe. Webster is the team lead of occupational health (a role he started at the outset of COVID in January 2020) and Kerr is an occupational health advisor.

“My job is to look at providing occupational health services for people who may have work-related health risks,” says Webster. His team handles things from hearing testing, respirator fit testing and health assessments to coordinating the annual flu clinics on campus.

“A big chunk of what we do is immunizations. Being a university, there’s a lot of different types of research that go on here, such as people working with pathogens like strep bacteria or bacteria that cause meningitis. We have probably 500 to maybe 1,000 people handling human blood and body fluids on campus in research roles and there’s protection through immunization for those people.”

For the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine for example, Webster says Staff Wellness handles vaccinations for employees who work with animals and protect them against risk of rabies and tetanus.

With COVID-19, Webster was on a number of committees that oversaw all the moving parts involved in handling a safe return to campus including disinfecting and cleaning protocols, protective equipment training and signage and updating information communicated on the risk website. He also provided guidance around worksite safety plans and updated protocols for various departments. He was at the table with emergency management, HR and student wellness and part of the team that was responsible for bringing the 19 to Zero vaccine bus to campus to administer immunizations to faculty, staff and students. 

When the cases were rising during the Delta wave, Kerr was integral to contact tracing on campus. “I did mostly the contact tracing on the ground, giving people calls, sending out updates on classes.” To this day, she still does most of the vaccinations on campus, administering those herself and doing the majority of PPE training.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” says Kerr. “I would always encourage people to get vaccinated. Vaccines help reduce overall illness for individuals and communities alike. That’s why it matters; it affects you and it affects everyone else.”

Adds Webster: “Immunization is one of the safest, most effective ways to prevent a lot of harm and illness for people.”

Located on the waterfront of Sentosa Cove in Singapore, a natural environment surrounds the family home. The passive design elements increase privacy from neighboring houses and passing vehicles. Additionally, the green façade offers shade and pleasant views.  

“The frame comprises 800 by 800 cuboids that form a tectonic, cloud-like volume,” said the architects. “Viewed straight on, it appears as a planar lattice. Upon closer approach, its three-dimensionality becomes apparent.” 

The innovative exterior not only brings visual appeal, but function as well. Mechanisms for lighting, watering and drainage are incorporated into the exterior framework, providing ongoing support for the living walls. 

The vertical greening of the Living Grid House isn’t a new design. Rather, it’s a concept borrowed from commercial buildings and transferred into a residential environment. Specifically appropriate for the tropical climate of the area, the plants and structure that support them offer temperature regulation. The pleasant appeal also adds community engagement and beautification. 

“Poetry and science meld in the framework, whose personality alters at different vantage points and times of day — under sunlight, the grid and plants engage in a sculptural duet; come dusk, the grid is highlighted in wireframe mode as the plants recede into shadow,” explained Architect Lim Shing Hui.

U.S. CDC has yet to weigh in.

The Public Health Agency of Canada collaborated with federal and provincial public health partners, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S. CDC), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to investigate an outbreak of norovirus and gastrointestinal illnesses involving five provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. The outbreak appears to be over, and the outbreak investigation has been closed.

Investigation findings identified consumption of raw oysters from British Columbia as the source of the outbreak. As a result, some oyster harvesting areas in British Columbia that were associated with the outbreak were closed as a part of the investigation.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued several food recalls throughout February, March, and April. Links to each food recall associated with this investigation can be found at the end of this public health notice.

The outbreak investigation is an important reminder to Canadians and businesses that raw oysters can carry harmful germs that can lead to foodborne illness if not properly handled and cooked prior to consuming.

In total, 339 confirmed cases of norovirus and gastrointestinal illness were reported in the following provinces: British Columbia (301), Alberta (3), Saskatchewan (1), Manitoba (15) and Ontario (19). Individuals became sick between mid-January and early April 2022, and no deaths were reported.

Some oyster harvest areas in British Columbia that were associated with illnesses in the outbreak were closed as a part of the investigation. The CFIA issued several food recalls throughout February, March, and April. For more information on the recalled products, please consult the Government of Canada’s Recalls and Safety Alerts website.

The U.S. CDC also investigated a multistate norovirus outbreak linked to raw oysters from British Columbia.  To date the CDC has reported the following illnesses: 103 illnesses have been reported as of April 6, 2022. States affected: California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.

People with norovirus illness usually develop symptoms of gastroenteritis within 24 to 48 hours, but symptoms can start as early as 12 hours after exposure. The illness often begins suddenly. Even after having the illness, you can still become re-infected by norovirus.

The main symptoms of norovirus illness are:

• diarrhea
• vomiting (children usually experience more vomiting than adults)
• nausea
• stomach cramps

Other symptoms may include:

• low-grade fever
• headache
• chills
• muscle aches
• fatigue (a general sense of tiredness)

Most people feel better within one or two days, with symptoms resolving on their own, and experience no long-term health effects. As with any illness causing diarrhea or vomiting, people who are ill should drink plenty of liquids to replace lost body fluids and prevent dehydration. In severe cases, patients may need to be hospitalized and given fluids intravenously. If you have severe symptoms of norovirus, consult your healthcare provider.

Raw oysters contaminated with noroviruses may look, smell and taste normal. The following safe food-handling practices will reduce your risk of getting sick:

• Do not eat, use, sell, or serve any recalled oysters.
• Avoid eating raw or undercooked oysters. Cook oysters to an internal temperature of 90° Celsius (194° Fahrenheit) for a minimum of 90 seconds before eating.
• Discard any oysters that did not open while cooking.
• Eat oysters right away after cooking and refrigerate leftovers.
• Always keep raw and cooked oysters separate to avoid cross-contamination.
• Do not use the same plate or utensils for raw and cooked shellfish, and wash counters and utensils with soap and warm water after preparation.
• Wash your hands well with soap before and after handling any food. Be sure to clean and sanitize cutting boards, counters, knives, and other utensils after preparing raw foods.

Noroviruses can be transmitted by ill individuals and are able to survive relatively high levels of chlorine and varying temperatures. Cleaning and disinfecting practices are the key to preventing further illnesses in your home.

• Thoroughly clean contaminated surfaces, and disinfect using chlorine bleach, especially after an episode of illness.
• After vomiting or diarrhea, immediately remove and wash clothing or linens that may be contaminated with the virus (use hot water and soap).
• If you have been diagnosed with norovirus illness or any other gastrointestinal illness, do not prepare food or pour drinks for other people while you have symptoms, and for the first 48 hours after you recover.

Norovirus:  Marler Clark, The Food Safety Law Firm, is the nation’s leading law firm representing victims of Norovirusoutbreaks. The Norovirus lawyers of Marler Clark have represented thousands of victims of Norovirus and other foodborne illness outbreaks and have recovered over $800 million for clients.  Marler Clark is the only law firm in the nation with a practice focused exclusively on foodborne illness litigation.  Our Norovirus lawyers have litigated Norovirus cases stemming from outbreaks traced to a number of food products and restaurants.
