, it can be said that the infectious ability of the new coronavirus is beyond people's expectations. It spreads too fast. Many cities reached the peak of infection in a short period of time, and almost everyone they passed was infected.
It can be seen that we have all underestimated the mutant strain of the new coronavirus Omicron, and the harm it has caused us is really not small.
Many friends may say that getting new crown is just like a common cold, but the reality is different from the legend.
New coronavirus The Omicron strain is far more terrifying than we imagined. Not only does it spread quickly, but some people have severe symptoms
Before the release, we learned from various channels that the Omicron strain is the latest mutant strain of the new coronavirus. Its virulence is very small, and 98% of infected people have asymptomatic or mild symptoms. There is scientific basis for this.
Guangzhou was the first city in the country to liberalize the epidemic. In just a few days, 160,000 people were infected, but there were only 4 severe cases and more importantly, zero deaths. It can be seen that the incidence rate of Omicron is really very low.
Although the virulence of the Omicron strain is very small, its spread speed is really beyond people's expectations.
As the two most populous provinces in the country, Guangzhou and Beijing have been infected with countless people in just a few days after they were liberalized. The number of new infections every day increases exponentially.
The number of new infections every day in Qingdao now exceeds 500,000, and the number of new infections every day in Zhejiang exceeds 1 million. It can be said that the spread speed of Omicron has reached a very terrifying level.
In the words of expert Wu Zun, at present, my country's new crown epidemic is at a high level of epidemic, but each province has entered a different stage of the epidemic. The infection rate in many provinces has exceeded 50%, and the infection rate in Beijing may have reached 80%.
In addition to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus Omicron strain, many people will develop colds, coughs, high fever, etc. after being infected.
This is completely different from the conclusion that experts say that 98% of people are asymptomatic after infection. Take me for example. After I was infected with COVID-19, I developed a high fever from the second day, reaching 40 degrees at one time. From the third day, I started to feel pain all over my body. From the fifth day, all the symptoms began to subside. After seven or eight days of treatment, it finally became a streak, but my body did not recover and I kept coughing.
Emergency rooms across the country are full, and critically ill patients are on the rise.
It can be said that the peak of COVID-19 infection has almost been reached, and the infection rate in many provinces has reached about 80%.
There are some data online showing that the number of infected people in Beijing has now exceeded 17 million, and the number of infected people in Shanghai has also exceeded 15 million. Half of the people in almost every province have already had the sun.
Experts have predicted before that the next step of our work will be the peak of severe cases. The peak of severe illness usually occurs 2 to 3 weeks after the peak of infection.
Places such as Beijing and Wuhan have ushered in the peak of serious illness, and the number of critically ill patients and white lung patients is gradually increasing.
The fever clinics and emergency rooms of various tertiary hospitals in Beijing are overcrowded every day. The person in charge of a local tertiary hospital said that the emergency department received more than 900 patients every day, and the seriousness rate reached more than 25%.
Especially in recent days, there have been more and more white lung patients, which has put a lot of pressure on the CT rooms of various hospitals. There is an endless stream of people coming to the hospital to take films every day.
Although everyone is in the same league and the nucleic acid test has turned negative, some people can't stop coughing. In order to feel at ease, they can only come to the hospital to take pictures.
Medical workers are under great pressure at work every day.
The number of new infections every day across the country is increasing exponentially. It can be said that the busiest places are hospitals. There is an endless stream of patients coming for treatment every day, which makes medical workers very worried. Their work pressure is really too great.
As early as the peak of the first wave of infections in Beijing, many hospitals in Beijing experienced widespread infections among medical staff. However, in order to maintain normal operations of the hospitals, hospitals still required medical staff with mild symptoms to continue working despite the illness.
In fact, this is not just the case in Beijing. Almost all hospitals across the country have similar performance. There is no way. Facing the peak of this wave of epidemic infections, medical staff are at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic. They come into contact with tens of thousands of patients every day. No matter how good the protection is, it is only a matter of time before they become infected.
Somewhere in Yunnan, at the surgery site of a hospital, a doctor from the infectious disease department suddenly fell to the ground. Just when his colleague was about to take off his mask, he hurriedly stopped him: Don't take off my mask, I'm infected.
In a hospital in Sichuan, a nurse was dispensing liquids in the treatment room. I saw that the workbench was densely covered with liquids, and there was a neat row of treatment orders on the ground.
It can be seen that during the epidemic, the medical staff in the hospital are really under great pressure at work. Not only do they have to risk infection, but they also need to do their jobs well.
We all owe Liang Wannian an apology.
After the blockade was unblocked, many people were indeed infected. There have also been some unexpected problems, but for us, it is impossible to re-block the country now. We can only move forward resolutely.
Therefore, there is now a voice on the Internet. Many people are questioning what the experts have said, asking the experts to come out to clarify, and asking them to apologize in person.
What I want to say is that the epidemic itself is not static, and experts are not scientists. They just make timely remarks as the epidemic changes.
Whether Zhang Wenhong or Zhong Nanshan , they have always worked on the front line of the fight against the epidemic and contributed their own efforts to the prevention of the epidemic. It can be said that these people have contributed to the epidemic prevention and control work.
We can't do it because they said the wrong thing. It is wrong to deny their work and attack them personally.
In particular, Liang Wannian, the leader of the expert group of the National Health Commission, had anticipated what might happen now. And they also reminded the public.
On December 17, Liang Wannian said in an interview: "Once you choose to lie down, it will bring a disaster. There will be a lot of severe illness and death."
Before letting go, that is, on October 13, Liang Wannian said: China has 267 million elderly people and a large number of patients with underlying diseases. If it is not dynamically cleared, it may cause a large number of severe illness and death.
Everything that is happening now proves that Liang Wannian’s original prediction was correct. So many of us owe Liang Wannian an apology.
It is true that many people have been infected after the release of restrictions, especially the increase in critically ill patients. At present, we especially need to take good care of the elderly, who are the focus of protection.
It has been three years. As long as we get through this dark moment, we can see the dawn soon.
Now is the last darkness before dawn. As long as we get through this last dark moment, we can embrace the dawn and embrace a new life.
From a personal perspective, it only takes 5 to 7 days for an average person to recover after being infected with COVID-19. It should be noted that if you have a fever, you must use antipyretics.
From a national level, the economy of cities including Beijing and Guangzhou has gradually recovered.
The streets of Beijing have returned to their usual bustling traffic. There are more cars on the road, and the number of people coming to restaurants to eat has also increased significantly. There are even some hotels where people have to wait for seats.
A shopping mall in Zhengzhou, Henan Province has ushered in a consumption boom. It is said that the mall's daily traffic volume has reached 100,000, almost returning to the level of three years ago.
So as long as we get through these last moments, I believe we will be able to restore normal life order.
New Year's Day and Spring Festival are approaching, and there will be a large-scale movement of people. We must take personal protection.
2022 is about to come to a perfect end, and 2023 has already shown its smiling face to us. This time can be said to be the time when the movement of people is the largest in the country.
Because New Year's Day and Spring Festival are coming soon, migrant workers have to go home to celebrate the New Year, and students also have to go home to reunite with their families. Nowadays, health codes and nucleic acid negative reports are no longer checked when taking public transportation such as trains and airplanes.
When there is a large movement of people, large-scale population infections may occur. This time is a great test of everyone's comprehensive quality, so personal protection must be done well.
In fact, whether you are a migrant worker or a student returning home, you can definitely implement staggered peak hours to go home, which not only reduces the pressure on public transportation, but is also a good protection for yourself.
In addition, the most important thing is to wear a mask and disinfect your hands when you go home. Try not to eat during the ride to avoid taking off the mask.
Final summary
Judging from the current situation, we have indeed underestimated the new coronavirus Omicron strain. Although its cure rate is not high, its spread speed is really too fast.
The infection rate in almost all provinces across the country now exceeds half. It is conservatively estimated that two to three hundred million people have been infected. Many provinces have experienced a peak of severe cases, which is a test of our comprehensive medical strength.
At this time, many people are very dissatisfied with what the experts have said. They think the experts are irresponsible and ask them to apologize. However, experts are not gods and cannot make accurate and accurate judgments. At this time, we need to calm down and not attack each other.
Professor Liang Wannian has already anticipated the current situation. In fact, we are now in the last darkness before dawn. As long as we break through this last moment, we will definitely be able to usher in spring.
