This year's global outbreak of the New Crown Epidemic has disrupted the rhythm of people's lives. China was the first country to face the epidemic head-on, and Wuhan became the front line in the battle between man and virus.
Over the previous six months, all of us have changed our lives to a greater or lesser extent: 14 days of quarantine, working from home, reducing gatherings, taking temperatures and wearing masks. ...... These changes have been a desperate and necessary precaution against the epidemic.
Today we use the data from Cub Fuel Consumption during the epidemic to analyze, from one side, how much the first half of the epidemic really affected people's lives.
National average mileage statistics for the first half of the year
*The darker the color, the more miles; the lighter the color, the less miles.
Regions with the most and least average miles traveled in the first half of the year
Statistics on the change in average miles traveled compared to the same period last year
*The lighter the color the more miles have decreased this year; the darker the color the less miles have decreased this year (and the more they have increased).
Regions with the largest decreases in average mileage compared to the same period last year
Regions where the average mileage traveled increased rather than decreased compared to the same period last year
*Reason analysis: small impact of the epidemic; shift in travel modes from public transportation to private cars.
Wuhan travel mileage statistics
From the data, the travel mileage in Wuhan area is relatively close in the same period from 2017 to 2019, of which there will be some up and down fluctuations in January and February because of the Spring Festival holiday.
And this year, Wuhan announced the closure of the city on January 23 and officially unsealed it on April 8, a full 76 days, covering the months of February and March in their entirety. Wuhan's travel mileage figures for those two months were down about 70 percent from the same period in previous years and from what was expected this year.
This shows that during the sealing period, people in Wuhan strictly adhered to the principle of self-isolation at home as much as possible, going out less and gathering less to contribute to the fight against the epidemic. At the same time, it also verifies that the measures taken by the state are indeed effective programs to fight the epidemic.
From April when the seal was lifted, the mileage data started to rise gradually, and by May it had basically risen to the level of the same period in previous years, and from June it was slightly higher than the same period in previous years. After the lifting of the closure, Wuhan people's lives have quickly returned to normal, and private car traffic activity has basically resumed.
Statistics on the change in mileage traveled in other key cities in the first half of the year
The rest of the country, with the exception of Wuhan, actually experienced a similar change in travel behavior as Wuhan did in the first six months of the year. Overall, February saw the largest drop in miles traveled compared to the same period last year, and then the drop in miles traveled gradually contracted as each region resumed work and production one by one.
It's worth noting that travel conditions were again affected by the recurrence of epidemics like the one in Beijing in June. So, the battle with the epidemic is still not over, and we still need to maintain a sense of vigilance as we resume our lives and production in an orderly manner.
You can also see how many fewer miles you drove in February and March this year than in previous years, and whether you've returned to past levels in recent months. Feel free to leave a comment to discuss.
