A foreign man walking his dog was persuaded by his aunt in Shanghai. Should everyone be equal under the epidemic?

It is true that everyone should be equal, because equality is the basic concept of social fairness and justice and the basic value concept of protecting human rights. More importantly, in such a severe epidemic period, adhering to the concept of equality for all is conducive to unified joint prevention and control and preventing the subsequent spread of the epidemic. If we can't adhere to the concept of equality, there will be social unrest.

Special period needs special treatment, so we need to ignore the principle of distinction for the time being. Regardless of nationality, gender and status differences, we should all be treated equally. Even overseas people, if there is misconduct, we still need to stop it in time, especially during the epidemic.

First of all, equality for all is an important manifestation of safeguarding human rights. No matter what nationality, we should treat others equally, and stop others' illegal and unreasonable behavior in time. We can neither excuse others for not knowing the law, nor condone others' improper behavior at will. Only by being truly fair and just can we contribute to the prevention and control of the epidemic.

Secondly, adhering to the equality of all people is conducive to improving the efficiency of prevention and control and reducing the pressure of prevention and control. Anyone who lacks epidemic prevention and safety awareness should be bound by the relevant rules and must abide by the relevant regulations of our country. If you are a foreigner, you should cooperate with China citizens to take relevant emergency measures. They must not be an exception, and they must not be a stumbling block to the prevention and control of the epidemic.

Finally, adhering to the principle of equality is an important means to safeguard public interests. At present, public interest is far higher than personal interest, and public safety is far higher than personal freedom, which is a value choice. It is precisely because we need to ensure everyone's safety and implement corresponding measures in time that the concept of equality is very important, which is related to the public's interests and personal safety. Only by restricting everyone's rights equally can we ensure the unified implementation of measures, which is based on the consideration of public interest.
