During this period, the country has announced important improvements and optimizations to epidemic prevention and control measures in light of changes in the epidemic situation. In the process, the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in various regions has increased significantly. After many mutations of the Omicron strain , the pathogenicity has dropped significantly compared with the original, but the immune evasion ability and transmissibility have been enhanced. Many infected people are asymptomatic and mild patients. However, recent news has revealed that the various characteristics of white lung patients have attracted widespread attention from the outside world. The mortality rate of severe "white lung" has reached more than 40%. But at the same time, experts also stated that the possibility of the new coronavirus causing white lung is not high.
Experts emphasized that inflammation in the lungs and other parts of the body when infected is a normal physiological defense mechanism. In this process, immune cells will not only kill the virus , but will also be affected to a certain extent. At this time, the external manifestation becomes "white lungs." Experts emphasize that although some people infected with the new coronavirus do not suffer from chest tightness and shortness of breath, their lungs are actually severely deprived of oxygen. Similar situations are more likely to occur in the elderly. If the resting blood oxygen saturation is found to be lower than 93%, then you need to go to the hospital for treatment. Previously, academician Zhong Nanshan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering made a judgment, emphasizing that infection prevention is still very important.
Because the so-called "everyone is positive together" is a very incorrect idea. If the number of people infected with the new coronavirus increases significantly in a short period of time, it may cause a serious squeeze on hospital resources, and the normal operation of various industries in society will also be affected. In addition, with large-scale infections, the possibility of the new coronavirus mutating again will also increase. That is why people still need to maintain corresponding protective measures in their daily lives to ensure that they are not affected or threatened by the virus as much as possible. During this period, Zhong Nanshan also emphasized the protection of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, hoping to strengthen the immunization of these groups to better prevent the threat posed by the new coronavirus.
Earlier Professor Zhang Wenhong also stated that although most people infected with the Omicron strain are asymptomatic and mildly infected, the impact of this strain on vulnerable groups such as the elderly is still very obvious, and all parties need to pay attention to this. In the context of the continued spread of the epidemic, it is necessary to provide reverse protection for the elderly to prevent the virus from appearing in their activity spaces.
The National Health and Medical Commission previously issued a notice announcing that Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia was renamed Novel Coronavirus Infection , and at the same time classified it as "Category B B Pipe". During this process, the National Health Commission also clearly mentioned that it is necessary to further strengthen the vaccination progress of the Omicron COVID-19 vaccine and further strengthen the immunity ability of vulnerable groups.
