new coronavirus pneumonia changed its name to new crown infection,
Those who attack and criticize Zhong Nanshan and Zhang Wenhong can shut up
Recently, Rao Yi wrote thousands of words on the public account. Claiming to be a scientist, he criticized Dr. Zhang Wenhong, saying that Dr. Zhang Wenhong was irresponsible, implying that Dr. Zhang Wenhong's 7,000-word paper was a "reference". Then he turned around and said that when Dr. Zhong Nanshan was in school, genetics was relatively old, and molecular biology could not exist.
Rao Yi, born in 1962, is currently the president of Capital Medical University. He is a famous molecular neurobiologist in China and has long been engaged in molecular neurobiology research.
Someone once commented on him: He is a scientific master who is concerned about the country and the people, an upright gentleman, a sharp and upright modern Lu Xun.
Rao Yi’s criticism of Zhang Wenhong triggered heated discussions and lawsuits.
The symbols attached to Rao Yi and Zhang Wenhong are too obvious: Rao Yi is the initiator of national nucleic acid, and his "html The theory of "2 virus mutation is undetectable " is also regarded as a pretext for blockade; Zhang Wenhong is an advocate of orderly liberalization. His theory of " and viruses coexist " has become a target that some people are closely following.
Coupled with the nucleic acid industry layout of the company under Rao Yi’s name, during this period of time, there was a crazy counterattack against Zhang Wenhong, and he even used the literature review of Dr. Zhang’s paper 20 years ago to attack and frame him. Everything seemed to make sense.
Among the many controversies, there are too many shadows of the debate between blocking and liberalizing. In fact, the battle between blocking and releasing is rarely reflected in public confrontations in the same arena.
There are thousands of reasons for supporting the ban, the most powerful one is the health and safety of vulnerable groups in society (including the elderly and those with underlying diseases).
There are thousands of reasons for supporting the liberal faction, some of which are based on basic rights , and some of which are based on livelihood conditions.
In December, as the situation took a sharp turn, the positions of both sides changed. Unblocking has become the new "right", and support for the blockade has gradually weakened.
On December 15, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a speech at the "National University Anti-epidemic Lecture Hall" and said: The fatality rate of COVID-19 has dropped to about 0.1%, which is equivalent to seasonal influenza. The name is no longer ‘new coronavirus pneumonia’. The Chinese name is severe acute respiratory syndrome . Because pneumonia does not exist, its current status is actually a new coronavirus upper respiratory tract infection.
On December 26, the National Health Commission issued an announcement to change the name of " new coronavirus pneumonia " to " new coronavirus infection ". This means that the three-year fight against the epidemic has come to an end. As long as there are no big changes, there will be no return to the previous strict lockdown.
Director of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Epidemic Diseases, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Gu Xiaohong: The Infection Branch of the Chinese Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine has reached a consensus to change the name of COVID-19 to the new coronavirus infectious disease. The reason why it is called "new coronavirus infection" is to emphasize its strong contagiousness.
At present, some experts in Guangdong suggest calling the virus the new coronavirus cold, but "cold" also does not emphasize the contagiousness. The naming highlights the contagiousness and helps remind the public to take precautions, because people with underlying diseases should also pay attention to preventing the infection from developing into severe disease.
Although the current novel coronavirus infection is extremely severe and some people do not show symptoms of pneumonia, many netizens posted online that the symptoms after infection are dry throat, sore throat, dry cough, headache, fever and other symptoms. Only a few cases have symptoms of pneumonia.
Zhong Nanshan pointed out: Some people have symptoms such as dry throat, sore throat, dry cough, headache, and fever, which are considered mild patients. High fever and body pain make patients very uncomfortable, but these are two different things from severe and mild medical conditions.
Zhang Wenhong said: The epidemic is transitioning from a pandemic to a seasonal and local epidemic. believes that as long as we make a good transition, the new coronavirus will eventually be treated as a flu virus. In fact, what the two experts Zhang Wenhong and Zhong Nanshan said have almost the same meaning. The name "new coronavirus pneumonia" was changed to "new coronavirus infection", which is basically the same as what Zhong Nanshan and Zhang Wenhong predicted.
So those who criticize Zhong Nanshan and Zhang Wenhong’s predictions, you can shut up.
In fact, there have been overwhelming attacks on Dr. Zhang Wenhong in the past three years. However, there is basically no criticism from experts in the medical and public health circles. The only person who has anything to do with medicine is Rao Yi, the president of Capital Medical University. However, Rao Yi is not engaged in medicine or public health at all, and his criticisms do not involve professional knowledge in medicine or public health at all. The reason is probably that Principal Rao Yi has so little knowledge in the fields of medicine and public health that he dared to stand up.
Perhaps the most criticized comment made by Zhang Wenhong in recent years is the so-called "coexistence". His attackers say he advocates coexisting with the virus so he can market Pfizer's drugs. What Zhang Wenhong said at the time was that the new coronavirus cannot be eliminated in the short term, and we may coexist with this virus for a long time. In fact, not only Dr. Zhang Wenhong, but also Dr. Gao Fu, Zhong Nanshan, Li Lanjuan, Zhang Boli and others also expressed this idea.
Zhang Wenhong: When participating in epidemic treatment and ward rounds, I saw many cases. 2 Many cases imported from overseas are often due to traveling on the road, not having three meals a day, and lack of nutrition. Their condition quickly worsens after infection. And if the nutritional quality is good, the immunity level is good, the patient may be able to survive it.
Nutrition is the basis for treating COVID-19 infection. Only with nutrition can you have resistance . The importance of nutrition cannot be overemphasized. We hope that during this period, all infected people or elderly people under home observation must pay special attention to increasing nutrition, including a diverse and balanced intake of vegetables, carbohydrates, etc., and the intake of high-quality protein is a top priority.
In real life, we may not have an accurate treatment for COVID-19. The most effective way is to rely on our own immunity to resist COVID-19. The current epidemic situation is not as simple as we imagined. We still cannot underestimate the new coronavirus infection. Everyone is responsible for their own health, that is, they are responsible for themselves, and every step of the way is taken by themselves. We should not take our own prevention and control lightly.
Human beings have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and have experienced countless disasters, large and small. The fact that human beings have reached this day has fully proved our greatness.
At the same time, we must also realize that in just twenty years, we have experienced SARS, H1N1 and COVID-19. It is foreseeable that viruses more terrifying than COVID-19 will definitely appear in the future. What are the advantages and disadvantages of us humans and how should we prevent epidemics? These are all questions that must be answered next.
If we cannot point the way on the road, when a more severe crisis strikes, mankind will be even more at a loss as to what to do.
