This policy is actually a guide to liberalizing epidemic prevention and control at all levels. Why "except for special places such as nursing homes, welfare homes, medical institutions, child care institutions, primary and secondary schools"? Doesn’t this mean that in a liberalized environment, special groups and institutions such as nursing homes and welfare homes should be protected? The
policy tells us that in addition to focusing on protecting these special groups and special places, other places and groups must be fully liberalized.
These "no more inspections" were like a gust of wind blowing violently through every corner of the country. Prevention and control tools such as highway checkpoints, iron sheets at community entrances, and guardrails in public places all disappeared overnight.
Before many people could react, asymptomatic infections and were already spreading unhindered in the country.
Of course, allowing asymptomatic infections to pass will inevitably lead to and aggravate a large-scale outbreak.
Naturally, the introduction of this policy was based on expert research and judgment, and the national think tank weighed the pros and cons. Experts have predicted the upcoming large-scale infection situation, and the country has been preparing in many aspects from the beginning.
According to expert predictions, 80-90% of people will be infected at least once. The number of people infected by the first wave of the epidemic will be about 60%. Among them, even if the proportion of severe and critical cases is very low, based on China's huge population base, the number of severe and critical cases is not a small number in proportion.
In order to control the situation after the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic, the country has already made plans from three aspects:
First, guide and enhance the people's awareness and ability of self-protection.
1. Supervise those who have not been vaccinated to receive the vaccine as soon as possible, call on the elderly to complete the vaccination as soon as possible, and provide door-to-door vaccination services for the disabled and semi-disabled elderly to ensure that all people are vaccinated.
2. Released the "Personal Epidemic Prevention Manual", "Home Treatment Guide for People Infected with New Coronavirus", etc. to promote the knowledge of new coronavirus epidemic prevention and improve people's ability to take care of themselves at home. Guide patients with mild symptoms to self-heal at home.
Secondly, there is a move in the treatment policy: implementing hierarchical and classified management and treatment.
1. For people with mild and asymptomatic infections, people who have no underlying diseases or whose underlying illnesses are in a stable stage, they should take care of themselves at home.
2. If you have symptoms, such as fever, cough, etc., get symptomatic treatment. If necessary, you can contact primary medical and health institutions or get professional guidance from doctors through Internet medical .
3. Patients who are severe or at risk of severe illness are admitted to designated hospitals.
4. For patients with underlying diseases or other diseases, general hospitals and specialized hospitals are required to set up buffer zones, whether in outpatient clinics, emergency rooms or inpatient areas, to ensure that these patients receive treatment.
The third step is to expand the protection and reserve of medical resources.
On December 9, at the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, Jiao Yahui, Director of the Department of Medical Affairs of the National Health Commission, said, "We have issued relevant documents to guide various regions to strengthen the preparation and construction of medical resources." Mainly include:
1, further improve the construction of fever clinic . Hospitals at level 2 and above are required to open fever clinics, and they should be opened to the maximum extent possible. In addition, qualified grassroots medical and health institutions should also open fever clinics or fever clinics, and be equipped with sufficient strength to meet the medical needs of the people to the greatest extent possible.
2. Guide various regions to strengthen the preparation of medical resources in designated hospitals. On the one hand, it is the preparation of critically ill beds; on the other hand, it is the establishment of a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment team to enhance the comprehensive medical service capabilities of designated hospitals.
3. Upgrade the makeshift hospital to into a sub-designated hospital. Monitoring beds will be renovated according to a proportion of 10% of the beds.
4. Transform the intensive care department and intensive care unit of the secondary hospital according to the standards as an important supplement to the critical care resources of the tertiary hospital.
5. Complete the expansion and transformation of critical care resources in tertiary medical institutions by the end of December. Comprehensive ICUs in tertiary hospitals are required to account for 4% of the total number of beds.
What needs to be emphasized is that in the future, all medical institutions must accept nucleic acid-positive patients. Therefore, ordinary people no longer need to worry about hospitals not accepting patients with nucleic acid positive cases. This is not allowed.
It can be seen that all plans and changes in are actually under the control of national policies. Whatever you can think of and worry about, the country has taken it into consideration for us. We people don't have to panic or worry too much. We just believe in the government and the party, follow the policies, and face it calmly.
Fourth, make bigger moves to appease and stabilize people’s hearts.
First of all, many experts unanimously explained that the toxicity of Omicron is reduced, the damage to the human body is weakened, the pathogenicity and fatality rate are reduced, but the transmissibility and concealment are enhanced.
Academicians Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan, whom we have not seen for a long time, appeared again during the critical period.
Zhong Nanshan gave us a reassurance. He said:
Compared with the Delta strain, the risk of the Koron strain causing sequelae of COVID-19 is significantly lower, and asymptomatic infections basically have no sequelae of COVID-19.
Omicron infection is not scary, 99% can be fully recovered within 7-10 days.
Coronavirus is highly contagious, but its morbidity rate is greatly reduced.
Li Lanjuan said that most of the infected people with the Omni-Cron virus currently circulating around the world are asymptomatic and have mild symptoms. Although asymptomatic infections are contagious, asymptomatic infections are not patients and there is no need to panic.
Pay attention to personal hygiene habits, wash hands frequently, exercise reasonably, take personal protection when going out, and wear a mask when going to crowded places.
Although I feel that what Academician Li Lanjuan said is a bit "light and gentle", I am more willing to believe her. After all, it can make people feel more relaxed and happy.
In addition, experts have come forward to provide guidance on symptomatic medication and self-isolation at home for patients with mild symptoms.
Relevant experts pointed out that any Chinese patent medicine with the functions of dispersing wind, clearing away heat, reducing dampness and detoxifying, etc., has a very good effect on Omicron.
Just choose one of the western medicine antipyretics. When the symptoms of high fever are obvious, such as body aches and severe headache, you can use some antipyretic analgesics, that is, antipyretics. For example: ibuprofen or acetamido powder, do not use them together, and do not exceed the daily dosage, otherwise it will harm the liver.
Try not to take Western antipyretics and Chinese cold medicine at the same time. For example, after taking Lianhua Qingwen , Qinggan, Xuanfeibaidu Granules and other drugs, there is no need to take additional ibuprofen or acetaminophen .
Try to choose only one kind of traditional Chinese medicine cold medicine "take it in small amounts and frequently". Just choose one of the Chinese patent medicines such as Lianhua Qingwen, Qingkailing, Lanqin Oral Liquid , etc. There is no need to take two or three together.
At the critical moment when the epidemic is about to break out on a large scale, we as flesh and blood must be prepared, be the first person responsible for our own health, strengthen protection, and protect ourselves. If you are infected, don't panic. Take the appropriate medicine and isolate yourself at home. You can recover on your own in 7-10 days. Maintaining an optimistic attitude can reduce symptoms and shorten recovery time.
