The latest epidemic notice released by the National Health Commission on January 25 showed that the number of confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus in my country exceeded 1,000, and the number of new suspected cases exceeded 1,000.
The surge in the number of confirmed cases and suspected cases is not surprising, and it does not mean that the epidemic will become more serious overnight. One of the important reasons is that the National Health Commission has improved the epidemic reporting system, and the digital reporting channels of medical institutions in various places have become smoother and more transparent.
htmlOn November 22, the National Health Commission issued the "Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan for the Novel Coronavirus Infection (Second Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). After the release of the "Plan", both new confirmed cases and new suspected cases have increased significantly. From 0:00 to 24:00 on January 23, the number of new confirmed cases nationwide rose to 259 (from 0:00 to 24:00 on January 21, 149 new confirmed cases; from 0:00 to 24:00 on January 22, 131 new confirmed cases). 19 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have reported 680 new suspected cases.’
is not a bad thing for the growth of confirmed and suspected cases caused by transparency in information disclosure. This shows that more and more infected people and people with a history of contact are "seeing" and are included in unified management, which is a necessary stage for prevention and control to go on track.
For any infectious disease, the prevention and control path is clear: find the source of infection, understand the transmission route, cut off the transmission route, protect susceptible groups, and treat and isolate infectious patients. Although the new coronavirus is a new virus, the prevention and control path is the same. After the inclusion of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus into the Class B infectious diseases stipulated in the " Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China" on January 20, and the prevention and control measures for Class A infectious diseases were taken, to the 24th, in five days, the National Health Commission intensively issued 10 notices, plans and announcements, including the "Plan". From national laws and regulations to industry notices and regulations, policy guarantees are provided for epidemic prevention and control. This is also the most favorable guarantee for winning a battle against the epidemic.
Is the pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus serious? Experts said on different occasions that since it is a brand new thing, it takes a process to understand. In terms of infectivity, the possibility of underestimation is not ruled out in the previous stage, but in terms of severity and patient prognosis, experts still said that "the prognosis is good." According to the official information that has been released, a data analysis will be conducted to find that as of 24:00 on January 24, severe patients currently account for 18.4% of confirmed cases, and the mortality rate accounts for 3.19% of confirmed cases. Moreover, 3% of the patients have been discharged.
does not have a specific medicine for the novel coronavirus, but it does not mean that it cannot be cured. A common sense that everyone needs to know is: there is no specific medicine for any virus. Judging from the current treatment experience in Beijing, valuable experiences such as concentrated cases, experts, resources, and treatment summarized during the 2003 fight against SARS, such as concentrated cases, cautious use of hormones, and treatment in combination with traditional Chinese and Western medicine have proved effective again this time. At present, under the treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in Beijing, two patients have been discharged from the hospital. If the virus does not show negative mutation, according to the current various situations, mild patients can be discharged from the hospital in about a week, and severe patients are mostly middle-aged and elderly patients with underlying diseases, which does not exceed the general rule of understanding of the disease.
Wuhan lockdown does not mean that the epidemic is escalating, but to quickly curb the spread of the epidemic. At present, all measures are "prevention and control measures for Class A infectious diseases" carried out in accordance with the law, which is also a timely and necessary measure taken before the Spring Festival travel rush is about to begin on a large scale. Because the incident suddenly occurred, the local area encountered some problems such as material shortages, but these difficulties were temporary local difficulties, and the Party and the government are actively solving them.
At present, for the general public, don’t panic, reduce mobility, take personal protection, wear the right mask to wash your opponents, and maintain good family hygiene. If you have a cold, you should wear a mask to protect your family even at home and have a relaxing Spring Festival at home. Doing these is the greatest contribution to the fight against the epidemic.
