Since the epidemic prevention and control was fully relaxed, the number of infections every day has increased sharply. Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places have reached the first wave of infection peaks!

million new cases were reported daily

At the 124th new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic prevention and control press conference in Zhejiang Province on December 25, Zhejiang Provincial Health Yu Xinle, deputy director of the CPC Central Committee, said: At present, the number of newly reported positive cases in Zhejiang per day has exceeded 1 million. It will enter a high plateau period around New Year's Day, during which the number of new positive cases per day will reach up to 2 million. The peak period is expected to last about a week. What kind of concept is ? You might as well do the math like this. How terrifying this data is!

From December 26 to 31, there were 1 million new infections every day, which is 6 million in 6 days. From January 1 to 7, there were 2 million new infections every day, and 7 days were 14 million. In other words, in less than two weeks, Zhejiang Province will have 20 million new infected people. This data will only be more, not less.

At present, the total population of Zhejiang Province is about 65 million. Based on the above data, 1/3 of the people will be infected in the near future. If the number of people previously infected is added, more than 80% of people in Zhejiang Province will be infected before the Spring Festival.

Four academicians passed away in one day

According to The Paper , four academicians passed away in one day on December 23. Their death was a great loss to the country. They supported the backbone of the rapid development of the Republic. They were the older generation of scholars who came up in the 1970s. They made important and indelible contributions to the development of the country. They really tried their best for the country.

They are:

Lu Qiang: academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and expert in automatic control and power system engineering Lu Qiang died in Beijing at the age of 86.

Li Wenhua: Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, ecologist and forest scientist Li Wenhua passed away at the age of 90.

Jiang Hualiang: Jiang Hualiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pharmacologist, and former director of the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, passed away in Shanghai at the age of 57.

Zhang Youshang: Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, biochemistry and molecular biologist Zhang Youshang died in Shanghai at the age of 97.

In addition, many academicians died in December, including Huang Kezhi, Zhao Zisen, Tang Hongxiao, Zhao Yijun, Zhang Guocheng, Gu Zhenan, and Long Yuqiu, a total of 11 academicians of the two academies (academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering) died in December, accounting for nearly 23% of the academicians who died in my country this year (a total of 48 academicians died in my country in 2022). Although birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, such a dense situation is still extremely rare in the history of our country. People can't help but wonder whether this has anything to do with the epidemic?

Of course, it is really the suspicion of netizens and has no actual basis. I hope everyone will not make wild guesses!

doubles the mortality rate of after secondary infection?

Previously, many experts said: Omicron is worse than a cold, because the vast majority of infected people are asymptomatic and do not even have a fever. They almost described Omicron as probiotics ; 95% of infected people are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms...

But the actual situation is...

A paper recently published in "Nature Medicine" shows: Compared with patients who are infected only once with new coronavirus , those who are repeatedly infected have more than double the risk of death, more than three times the risk of hospitalization, lung disease, and heart disease, and are 60% more likely to suffer from neurological diseases.

At the 2022 Sino-US High-end Forum on Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases held on December 17, Professor Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said: The first batch of vaccines in China come from the original virus strain. After viruses have mutated many times, the protective effect of the vaccine is getting weaker and weaker, making it difficult to prevent reinfection of the new coronavirus.

The electronic health care database of the US Department of Veterans Affairs shows: Patients’ increased risk of disease is most obvious in the first month after repeated infection and persists 6 months after the acute phase.

Faced with two completely different voices, people really don’t know where to go?

Comprehensive liberalization ≠ National infection

There was a voice before that said: "Comprehensive liberalization is to achieve universal infection and universal immunity, so that each of our bodies can produce antibodies."

Now it has been fully liberalized. From the current data, it seems that universal infection is inevitable. But will universal immunity really work as expected?

Wan Shaobing, head of the fever clinic of the Shouyi Campus of Wuhan Third Hospital and director of the emergency department, said: Patients with colds may be co-infected with the new coronavirus; similarly, if they are accidentally infected with the new coronavirus, they will also increase the chance of catching a cold.

In addition, some experts said: positives of different strains will be cross-infected or infected with multiple strains at the same time. People who have been infected with the new coronavirus will produce antibodies, but as the virus mutates, the ability of the antibodies to intercept the mutated new virus will decrease.

According to foreign experience, there are indeed many patients who have been infected twice, and many of the symptoms of the second infection are more serious than the first. The number of patients who have been infected three times is relatively small, but there are also those infected four or five times...

In the face of the continuous mutation of Omicron, or the new coronavirus, we are constantly exploring and researching ways to restrain it, but so far there is no effective way to eliminate the new coronavirus. And faced with different strains, we will be infected twice or infected with multiple viruses at the same time.

Finally, what the editor wants to say is that epidemic prevention and control is definitely not a joke. Fortune-telling-style epidemic prevention is a must!

Fortunately, the first wave of infected people are gradually recovering, and everyone’s life, study, and work are gradually returning to normal. The next most important thing to pay attention to is to prevent secondary infections, especially the elderly! Remember! Remember! Remember!
