has experienced the torture of the epidemic for nearly three years. Now, when you see the relevant reports on new crown , you will pay special attention. Because as long as the epidemic situation in a certain place is repeated, it may involve isolation, static management, home office work, material supply, etc., which seriously affects people's lives and work.
But compared with Taiwan, the inland control has been quite in place. Since the outbreak of the Hainan epidemic in August, it has been effectively controlled. The number of confirmed cases is decreasing significantly and has stabilized, which fully demonstrates that the inland epidemic prevention measures are very in place. , while Taiwan has become a gathering place for viruses.
1. Analysis of epidemic data in Taiwan
According to the latest news released by The Paper on September 7, Taiwan has more than 40,000 new confirmed cases in a single day, and 26 new deaths have reached. In fact, the incidence of new crown in Taiwan has always been high, which can be seen from previous data.
Since reaching its peak in May, the local epidemic in Taiwan has finally ushered in a turning point and has gradually shown a downward trend. , and just when it dropped to about 20,000 new daily increase in August, the local epidemic situation ushered in a turning point again. Although the increase is not large, it is undeniable that there are indeed more new ones.
Based on the data comparison, we can find that the slight increase in the epidemic situation in Taiwan was mainly concentrated at the end of August. After entering September, the number of confirmed cases stabilized at more than 30,000, and exceeded 40,000 on the 7th, which means that the local epidemic is likely to usher in scale expansion again.
What is even more incredible is the case of deaths. It is understood that among the recent deaths in Taiwan, there are 2 women in their early 20s. They not only received three shots of vaccines, but also had no other diseases. Could it be that the epidemic has mutated again and is in a more fierce direction?
2. Details of death
According to everyone's usual thinking, compared with young people in their 20s who are in their prime, the virus may be more likely to invade middle-aged and elderly people and children with poor physical fitness. Because this type of population either has a decline in immune system or has an incomplete immune function development, and does not have strong resistance.
But now two young deaths have emerged. Does it indicate that the virus has become more fierce? According to Luo Yijun, deputy head of the local Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s medical team, neither of these two deaths had a chronic history and had three doses of vaccine injections, and the death time was within one week of the onset.
details are as follows. After the case was diagnosed, common symptoms such as high temperature, dizziness, headache, nausea, fear of cold, cold sweat, fatigue, and cough appeared. The symptoms of were relieved after taking general medications, but during the subsequent treatment, the patient again showed high fever, drowsiness, and difficulty breathing.
Patient 1 detected cerebral stroke and bleeding before his death, but failed to succeed after active treatment. It was finally determined that the patient died due to COVID-19, septic shock, platelet hypotension, cerebral stroke and bleeding.
. After the patient 2 was diagnosed, there was a multi-morbidity outbreak before death. After the diagnosis of the new coronavirus, the patient was diagnosed with myocarditis , and shock was also caused by heart factors. was subsequently treated with remdesivir and immunoglobulin, and the symptoms have not been effectively controlled.
See this, I believe everyone has discovered the problem. In fact, the pneumonia -related symptoms caused by the new coronavirus itself are not the root cause of death. What really threatens patients' lives is actually the negative impact caused by other functional lesions in the body after infection.
Simplely put, the new crown will cause other functions of the body to decline, which will lead to other diseases that are different from pneumonia. If the condition is not controlled, it may lead to death. Even if the patient is strong, the infection of the new coronavirus will become an opportunity to break through the door to immune function.
3. Is the new coronavirus really getting stronger and stronger?
Those who have followed the introduction of the course of the new coronary pneumonia should still remember that the mortality rate of pneumonia itself is actually not high, and the key lies in other complications. If the complications are not controlled, it will eventually lead to some organs' functional decline, which will lead to death.
However, in recent years, domestic epidemic management has been well managed, coupled with the full vaccination of vaccines, this has reduced the possibility of post-infection complications, that is, the severe disease rate has decreased . Therefore, the characteristics of related complications caused by the new crown are gradually being ignored by the general public.
According to the previous laws of virus mutation, the enhanced attributes of various mutant strains are focused on infectiousness, and their pathogenic ability is not more prominent and is still within the controllable range. But we cannot rule out that the virus will develop in the future to enhance pathogenic ability and increase the rate of severe illness.
At present, the official has not provided detailed information for the widely spread BA.5 variant strain in Taiwan, so we have no way to know how its pathogenicity and transmission capabilities are. But with further research by the medical team, I believe that the characteristics of this strain will be soon understood.
From the perspective of epidemic prevention, compared with inland and Taiwan, inland data are better than Taiwan in terms of incidence, mortality, or severe disease rate. You should know that Taiwan’s population only accounts for one percent of China’s population. Such a large epidemic prevention gap has directly contributed to the large-scale spread of the epidemic.
Although the new crown is terrible and has the possibility of becoming stronger, if it is kept out and large-scale immunity and virus elimination are achieved, then it will lose its ability to spread. Therefore, compared with treatment, it is often more conducive to controlling the development of the epidemic.
Summary:
The outbreak of the epidemic in Taiwan and the death of young patients, which reminds us of the situation. The new crown will not only cause pneumonia-related symptoms, but also cause other complications, and it may even be fatal.
But if we continue to do a good job in daily protection, improve the epidemic prevention level in the area, and achieve regular and comprehensive screening, even if the virus becomes fierce, we have ways and room to deal with it. So friends, what do you think about the epidemic in Taiwan? Do you think the virus will become stronger and stronger as it mutates?
