On Saturday, Jeremy Lin broke the news on social media that he tested positive for the new crown while quarantined in Shanghai. It is suspected that he was infected somewhere on the way San Francisco flew to Shanghai. Jeremy Lin is currently receiving treatment in a Shanghai hospital. He had previously received the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States.
As for Jeremy Lin who is still infected after being vaccinated, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, Zhang Wenhong told China Business News reporter: "Mild symptoms are normal."
According to data previously released by Pfizer, the new coronavirus After vaccination, antibody levels will gradually decrease over time, and the effectiveness against symptomatic infection with the virus drops to about 84% 6 months after vaccination.
Jeremy Lin said he will recover soon. He is currently playing for CBA Shougang. In fact, many basketball players have been infected with the new coronavirus. At present, mild symptoms of COVID-19 will not have an impact on athletes' career development. For example, Danish player Axelsen, who performed well in the badminton singles competition at this Olympics, is a person who has recovered from the new crown.
Chen Yu, a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Wuhan University, said in a recent interview with the media: "During large-scale sports events, the movement of people should be reduced as much as possible to facilitate epidemic prevention and control. Of course, the most ideal situation is when the vaccine penetration rate reaches At a certain level, complete liberalization is considered, but it is expected that this ideal state will not be reached by the time of the Winter Olympics next year. "Judging from the epidemic prevention results of the Tokyo Olympics, people are worried about the accelerated mutation and spread of the virus. Doesn't seem to happen. The Tokyo Olympics gathered 50,000 people to participate, making it the world's largest real-world experiment since the epidemic.
Since July 1, the organizers have recorded approximately 400 cases of COVID-19 infection and conducted nearly 600,000 nucleic acid testing screenings, with an infection rate of 0.02%. And in the Olympic Village, which houses 10,000 people, there has not been a single severe case.
The organizers of the Tokyo Olympics said that this is related to large-scale vaccination and repeated nucleic acid testing. Among those participating in the Tokyo Olympics, the vaccination rate exceeds 70%; and the closer people are to the athletes, the more times they are tested. . Meanwhile, public health experts continue to urge people to get more vaccinated.
There has been heated discussion recently about whether the Beijing Winter Olympics will challenge China's "zero case" prevention and control strategy. Feng Zijian, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention , said in a recent interview with the media that until high vaccine coverage is achieved, China is currently maintaining the current The epidemic prevention measures will still be effective. Zhang Wenhong also made it clear to China Business News that China's existing prevention and control strategies will not change.
However, public health officials also admit that COVID-19 is a global pandemic and it is unrealistic for one country to completely eliminate the virus. It is also very unlikely that there will be no cases in a country for a long time.
Zhang Wenhong wrote in a recent Weibo post: "The way China will choose in the future must not only ensure its interconnection with the world and return to normal life, but also protect its citizens from fear of the virus."
Global experts have reached the conclusion The consensus is that while the epidemic is still spreading severely around the world, in order to "coexist" with the virus for a long time, the most important thing is to protect high-risk and susceptible groups, such as nursing homes and medical institutions.
