截至6月21日,非典型肺炎的重灾区北京已经连续十天没有新增确诊病例,北京居民开始扳着手指头,计算成为非疫区的日期。在很多人看来,“非典”疫情像阵飓风,来得快,去的也不慢。但是,对“非典”肆虐的5月,人们仍记忆犹新。这个月,在中国许多省市,社会的正常秩序被搅乱了,居民的生活模式被改变了,经济运行的节奏被打乱了。幸运的是,由于政府的应对措施得力、全社会和衷共济,“非典”并没有阻止中国经济的增长。在疫情最严重的5月,中国经济仍然有令人喜悦的表现。首先,工业生产继续保持增长势头。数据显示,5月份,全国规模以上工业企业完成增加值3190亿元[参见表3. As of June 21, Beijing, the hardest hit atypical pneumonia, has not confirmed any new cases for 10 consecutive days. Beijing residents started to pull their fingers to calculate the date of becoming a pest free area. In many people’s opinion, “SARS” epidemics are like hurricanes, come fast, and do not go slow. However, in May when the SARS epidemic is rampant, people still remember it. This month, in many provinces and cities in China, the normal order of society was disrupted. The living pattern of residents was changed and the pace of economic operation was disrupted. Fortunately, due to the effective response by the government and the whole society’s concerted efforts, “SARS” has not stopped China’s economic growth. In May, the worst epidemic, the Chinese economy still had a pleasant performance. First, industrial production continues to grow. Data show that in May, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in China was 311 billion yuan [see Table 3].
