Regarding the epidemic, there is a group of people who are not only experiencing the current epidemic, but also experienced the white terror of SARS 20 years ago. Unfortunately, I am one of them.
SARS refers to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (English: SARS). It began in Guangdong, China in 2002. It spread rapidly first in China, and then spread to Southeast Asia and even the world. The rapidity of its infection and mortality rate once made people in the People in this area are shrouded in white terror.
It was a global infectious disease that was gradually eliminated until July 5, 2003 The World Health Organization announced that it had been successfully controlled.
It has been exactly 19 years today, and the epidemic is still going on. It seems to last longer than SARS, and it has also evolved into pre- and post-epidemic eras. Whether it is the first white terror or the current second white terror, they will become history and the virus will eventually be overcome.
A series of data released as of August 16, 2003, that is, a total of 5,327 clinically diagnosed cases of SARS have been reported in mainland China, 4,959 were cured and discharged, and 349 died (another 19 died of other diseases, not included in SARS case death toll). Hong Kong, China: 1,755 cases, 300 deaths; Taiwan, China: 665 cases, 180 deaths; Canada: 251 cases, 41 deaths; Singapore : 238 cases, 33 deaths; Vietnam : 63 cases, 5 deaths . Officially announced that SARS has been completely ended.
Although there is no series of data summary today after 19 years, and the epidemic is still in the post-epidemic era, it will definitely become a piece of history in the near future.
Today is the 19th anniversary of the control of SARS. There will definitely be people commemorating the end of the epidemic on a certain day in the future.
