萬萬沒想到，雙黃連在一夜之間火了。
昨晚有報道稱“上海藥物所、武漢病毒所聯合發現中成藥雙黃連口服液可抑制新型冠狀病毒。”
消息一出，雙黃連迅速登上了微博話題熱搜榜，截至目前相關微博話題閱讀量已超過15億。
不僅如此，這一消息還引發了一波搶購潮。
儘管已是深夜，各地線下藥店還是迎來了購買雙黃連的“排隊長龍”。
各大藥品電商平臺上的雙黃連口服液“秒售罄”，獸用雙黃連也脫銷了。
甚至和雙黃連同音的“雙黃蓮月餅”都登上了微博熱搜。
Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, a Chinese herbal remedy consisted of lonicera japonica flower bud, forsythia suspensa fruit and scutellaria baicalensis, became a trending topic on China's social media sites on Friday night.
There were online reports claiming that "some scientists discovered that the medicine can help curb the novel coronavirus." Shuanghuanglian was soon on Weibo’s top search list and the relevant hashtag has been viewed over 1.5 billion times so far.
The news also made the herbal remedy fly off pharmacy shelves. Pictures and videos circulating online showed residents in various Chinese cities queuing to stock up on the medicine during the night. The medicine was also sold out on several e-commence platforms.
雙黃連，真的有效嗎？
雙黃連口服液主要由金銀花、黃芩、連翹三味中藥組成。中醫認為，這三味中藥具有清熱解毒、表裡雙清的作用。現代醫學研究認為，雙黃連口服液具有廣譜抗病毒、抑菌、提高機體免疫功能的作用，是目前有效的廣譜抗病毒藥物之一。
但是雙黃連對於這次新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎有效嗎？
面對深夜的這一波“雙黃連搶購潮”，一些醫療科普平臺也發文科普，提醒民眾不要盲目購買。
騰訊醫典醫學團隊表示：“目前，有一些初步證據提示雙黃連口服液可能能夠抑制新型冠狀病毒，正在開展研究，但目前尚無有力的臨床試驗證據，證明其對新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎的療效。”
健康科普平臺丁香醫生髮文提醒民眾不要盲目購買雙黃連用來預防新型冠狀病毒。丁香醫生指出報道中提到的是“抑制”而不是“預防”，兩者有明顯差別：“‘抑制’是指通過藥物來控制病毒複製的各個環節，來達到控制病情的效果。你要是身體裡沒有病毒，就沒有東西可以被‘抑制’。”
世界衛生組織也曾在官方微博發文表示，到目前為止，還沒有專門用於預防和治療新型冠狀病毒的藥物。
However, some medical news platforms warned people not to blindly buy the medicine.
Tencent Medpedia, the Tencent-based online healthcare platform said that there was no strong evidence from clinical trials showing that Shuanghuanglian is effective against the novel coronavirus.
DingXiang Doctor, one of China's leading medical portals said people should notice the difference between "inhibiting" and "preventing." It pointed out that the report about Shuanghuanglian said the medicine could inhibit the virus rather than prevent infection, and people who are not infected with the virus have no need to take the medicine.
Previously, the World Health Organization confirmed that there is no vaccine or medication to combat the novel coronavirus.
不僅僅是雙黃連……
此前也有過類似的搶購，導致防護型醫用N95口罩、護目鏡等產品售罄、脫銷。
國家衛健委高級別專家組成員李蘭娟院士接受採訪時表示，醫護人員由於直接接觸發熱病人，需要佩戴護目鏡進行防護；普通民眾如若不住院、不接觸發熱病人，暫不需要護目鏡。
國家衛健委高級別專家組組長鍾南山院士在採訪中提到，“實際上並不一定非要戴N95口罩，一般的口罩是能阻擋大部分帶有病毒的飛沫進入呼吸道的。”
上海市醫療救治專家組組長張文宏醫生也呼籲把N95口罩留給醫護人員。
此外，清潔消毒用品和生鮮食品，尤其是綠葉菜，也存在大量的超量購買和囤貨問題。一些超市和生鮮店也提醒民眾理性購買，不要大量囤貨。
Apart from Shuanghuanglian, the ongoing novel coronavirus outbreak also sparked the panic buying of products such as N95 surgical masks and protective goggles in China.
Some infectious disease experts have said it is not necessary for people to rush to purchase these protective masks and goggles, and suggested people leave these products to heath workers who really need them.
Meanwhile, supermarkets and grocery stores in some Chinese cities also appealed to local residents to purchase goods in accordance with their needs and not to stock up on daily necessities.
民眾面對疫情的擔心可以理解，但無需過度緊張跟風搶購。
有媒體在報道中提醒到，“搶購囤積可能會製造一個惡性循環——大家都忙著往家裡囤貨，市面上能買到的物資就會少，越少就越恐慌，越恐慌就會引得越多人囤貨。”
正如世界衛生組織總幹事譚德賽1月30日所說，“要事實，不要恐懼。要科學，不要謠言。”（“This is the time for facts, not fear. This is the time for science, not rumors.”）
面對疫情，我們除了要少出門、少聚集、勤洗手、勤通風，也該不恐慌、不跟風、不囤貨。
