Recently, experts expressed their doubts: "It seems that more elderly people around us have died than in previous years, and they say there will definitely be more, and we have to admit this." This point of view hit a certain short video platform and was criticized by many netizens.
It’s okay if you don’t admit it. There are scalpers in funeral parlors... Many elderly people actually die because of lack of timely treatment. If the situation is detected early, they will not need a ventilator later. However, the elderly always delay treatment, which leads to serious illness.
I have a friend who works in our local hospital and is very busy every day. I learned from his mouth that several elderly people have died of "white lung" in their hospital recently. According to the doctor in their hospital, there is nothing anyone can do if the lungs are white.
After being infected with the new coronavirus, some elderly people may have aggravated underlying diseases, or develop "silent hypoxia" or "viral pneumonia", which will eventually lead to death. Even though it is generally believed that the fatality rate of Omicron is not high, it is taking away those fragile lives after all.
According to the progress of COVID-19 infection, some elderly people simply cannot survive this winter.
saw an article today, "The risk of thrombosis in COVID-19 is high, and severe patients emphasize anticoagulation treatment." So the COVID-19 affects the risk of thrombosis to a certain extent.
To be honest, I am a little scared, because both of my parents are thrombosis patients. I have been recovering recently, and my parents are also positive. I am very afraid that Omicron will aggravate their thrombosis symptoms. In recent years, for unknown reasons, there have been many middle-aged and elderly people suffering from blood clots in our village. I once guessed that the water in our village was not clean, but it was all just my own conjecture.
So what should we do in the treatment of critically ill patients?
For COVID-19 patients who have now developed into severe cases, there is no "one shot of effective" treatment drug so far, and there is no specific treatment plan. The overall principle is still "support + symptomatic treatment". Therefore, for the elderly who are at risk of severe illness, the first step is to vaccinate them in a standardized and sufficient dose! This is currently the most popular method to prevent severe disease.
You must smoke less and control your blood sugar and blood pressure !
Therefore, we must protect the middle-aged, elderly and children around us and try to prevent or reduce infection for them!
I have a colleague who never took it seriously when the epidemic was first relaxed. He learned all about the Omicron virus from the Internet. He mentioned it in the office one day. On a certain platform, an expert said that the Omicron virus is just a "serious cold" and is not that harmful. Later, when his family and his grandmother died due to the new coronavirus, he began to feel that he had underestimated the virus. For the elderly, was not a "severe cold" at all, but a virus that could kill people.
He later lamented that we rural people are different from people in cities. We rural people don’t have money and dare not go to big hospitals for treatment. Rural people just rely on their own bodies to carry the new coronavirus.
Liu Xingpeng doctor of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital also said on social platforms: The risk of pneumonia caused by Omi Kerong has been underestimated!
I don’t want to say anything anymore. What’s the use of underestimating it now? Whether more people can be saved is another matter...
We young people must pay more attention to the elderly around us. Sometimes they are really afraid of trouble you and always take their illness as a matter of course.
