Many people have been asking recently: Why did the new coronavirus suddenly disappear? Some people have even analyzed the reasons for the disappearance of virus in a serious manner, thinking that new coronavirus disappeared mysteriously like SARS virus . Is it really so?
The first peak of the epidemic after the opening up has passed. I believe that most people have experienced a transition from "yang" to "yang" health. However, the new coronavirus is still active around us. Although most people will produce certain antibodies in their bodies after becoming positive, the risk of becoming positive again in the short term is low.
With the arrival of the Spring Festival, families and friends gather together, and various supermarkets have returned to their former lively scenes. Naturally, crowds of people cannot be avoided. According to expert speculation, the new coronavirus has not completely disappeared, and there may be a second wave of small peaks of infections around the Spring Festival. We can see from the first wave of large-scale population infections that Omicron is not friendly to the elderly and people with underlying diseases, and has a higher risk of severe illness. Moreover, a new strain XBB from the United States has also appeared in China, so we have to take precautions in advance.
Experts remind: Do 4 things to prevent severe "positive"
1. Pay attention to personal protection
Although the risk of reinfection in the short term after "positive" health is low, due to individual differences, the duration of antibodies in each person's body also varies. No one knows when the antibodies in the body will disappear, so the most important thing is to continue to take personal protection.
Wear a mask when going out. The elderly and people with underlying diseases should try to avoid crowds, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and ventilate the room frequently. At the same time, after "Yang" is healthy, pay attention to lung rehabilitation exercises and perform appropriate exercises. Tai Chi or Baduanjin are very suitable for pulmonary rehabilitation exercises and are recommended to everyone here.
2. Adhere to the treatment of basic diseases
While taking good personal protection, basic diseases cannot be ignored. For chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, you need to insist on taking medicine to control your blood pressure blood sugar within the normal range. This is also one of the important ways to avoid double "yang" and more importantly, avoid developing into severe disease. Don't be admitted to the hospital due to the new coronavirus infection, but instead be hospitalized for the acute onset of chronic diseases.
would also like to remind everyone that in addition to insisting on taking medication, you should also pay attention to monitoring blood pressure and blood sugar. If you find that the control is not good, you should adjust the medication plan in time.
3. Make necessary medicine reserves
The Spring Festival has arrived. In some places or elderly people, they usually have the custom of avoiding going to the hospital or buying medicines during the Spring Festival, thinking this is unlucky. So at this time, whether it is drugs related to viral infections or drugs to treat basic diseases, it is recommended that everyone make necessary reserves.
After the epidemic is relaxed, hospitals are also the hardest hit areas for new coronavirus infections. Being able to go to the hospital less often is also a way to prevent individuals from getting sick again. However, the author does not encourage everyone to blindly stockpile medicines in large quantities, which will cause a run on medical resources .
4. Pay attention and seek medical attention promptly.
Once you find that an elderly person has symptoms such as fever, cough, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing or even confusion, you should seek medical treatment promptly. Of course, the above-mentioned symptoms may not always appear. Some elderly people may only have a loss of appetite or a worsening of their mental state, which is most easily ignored by their family members. Families with elderly people are recommended to prepare a oximeter to monitor the elderly's blood oxygen situation in a timely manner. Most of the current oximeter prices have returned to normal, and they are not expensive for most people.
Finally, I wish you all a happy New Year. I wish you all a safe and happy Spring Festival. If you do the above 4 things, you can have a good New Year with peace of mind.
