How long did it take us to defeat SARS in 2003?

If the question asks how long the SARS epidemic has lasted in China, the answer is eight months!

SARS was first discovered on November 16, 2002, in Shunde, Guangdong Province, which lasted eight months, and finally on July 13, 2003, when the number of SARS patients in the world has stopped growing, the SARS virus has basically ended.

But it should be noted that mankind has never defeated SARS! <>

Even today, eighteen years later, there is still no antibody vaccine that is effective against SARS (sara virus), no specific drug that is effective against SARA, and even the source of the SARA virus cannot be confirmed (civet cats are the virus transit station, but the virus host cannot be confirmed as bats).

Even today, the medical community is puzzled by the disappearance of the sara virus, because we cannot explain why it suddenly disappeared after a short period of time.

The author will briefly talk about several reasons for the disappearance of SARS, which are the major factors that most people recognize as the disappearance of the SARA virus, but it should be noted that this is not the only reason.

1. China's anti-epidemic efforts

Whether it is today's new crown virus or the sara virus 18 years ago, China is extremely cautious about these unknown and highly contagious viruses.

Although there was no such drastic lockdown at that time, in the provinces and cities where the SARA virus spread severely, disinfection and epidemic prevention measures were complete, and people who were infected with the virus were also strictly quarantined**. <>

It is China's anti-epidemic measures that have prevented the virus from spreading further, and it can be said that Chinese are absolutely serious about fighting the epidemic!

2. Changes in the weather

In addition to China's anti-epidemic measures, the hot weather is also a very hot term at present, and some people even believe that the hot weather is the real helper to make the sara virus lose its transmissibility.

This is because in the process of getting hotter, that is, the room temperature is getting hotter, the activity and infectivity of the virus will be relatively weak, which is also a major factor in the rapid disappearance of the sara virus. <>

In addition, it was almost impossible to predict that the virus would disappear in such a quick time before the summer of 2003, which is why many scholars believe that the virus will disappear quickly in the summer (although it did not).

Although not the main cause, the rise in temperature is also a major factor in the disappearance of the virus.

3. International attitude towards the epidemic

Different from the international community's contempt for the new crown this time, in the SARA virus more than ten years ago, all countries were very cautious about it, and took a series of measures to avoid SARS from causing large-scale infection in the international community. <>

And it is precisely the seriousness of the international community towards SARS that has prevented the second outbreak of the new coronavirus from appearing in the international community.

The above is the author's view that SARS is the disappearance of the sara virus!

In 2003, we defeated SARS in seven months, mainly because of the country's attention to public health events and effective emergency response.

It should have been half a year, until the high temperature was overcome, and it was defeated at a very fast speed, and the battle of SARS was won, which is very remarkable.

Less than a year. Like the new crown pneumonia, SARS came in winter, and in July and August, SARS disappeared, but it was not that we defeated SARS, but SARS disappeared on its own.

From the first report, it took us almost seven months from the discovery in December 2002 to June 24, 2003, when the WHO announced the delisting of SARS-affected areas.

The SARS epidemic in 2003 should have actually been in December 2002, and the first patient, Huang Xingchu, was hospitalized on December 16, and the battle lasted until July 13, 2003.

It is said that the SARS vaccine is almost developed.

2003 is the Year of the Goat.

SARS occurred in early November 2002, and it was not until the summer of 2003 that the number of infected people decreased, and the SARS virus was completely controlled.

SARS is a global infectious disease outbreak that occurred in Guangdong, China in 2002 and spread to Southeast Asia and the world, and was not gradually eliminated until mid-2003.

As of 16 August 2003, a total of 5,327 clinically diagnosed cases of SARS have been reported in Chinese mainland, with 4,959 discharged** and 349 deaths (another 19 deaths from other diseases, not included in the number of SARS deaths). Hong Kong: 1,755 cases, 300 deaths; Taiwan, China:

665 cases and 180 deaths.

Canada: 251 cases, 41 deaths; Singapore: 238 cases, 33 deaths; Vietnam: 63 cases, 5 deaths.

Impact

The normal pace of teaching at many universities in Chinese mainland has been disrupted, and primary and secondary schools in Beijing have been suspended, although the national college entrance examination in June has not been postponed. Many provinces and cities across the country have implemented a complete suspension of primary and secondary schools, and many areas have changed the order of the previous examination to adapt to the special period.

This has led to a significant increase in the number of repeaters, but on the other hand, it has ensured the enrollment of Peking University and Tsinghua University. Beijing's Northern Jiaotong University (now known as Beijing Jiaotong University) is the most well-known quarantine university. However, many students from colleges and universities have left the university and returned to their hometowns, and the quarantine policy has not been implemented thoroughly.

SARS broke out on November 16, 2002 in Shunde, Guangdong.

SARS refers to infectious atypical pneumonia, which is an inflammation of the lungs caused by the SARS coronavirus, which is named severe acute respiratory syndrome by the World Health Organization.

In the summer of 2003, the number of infected people was declining and the disease was completely under control. End of SARS: On June 24, 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the lifting of the travel ban on Beijing, indicating the victory of Chinese mainland in the fight against SARS.

This is a global epidemic of infectious diseases, severe acute respiratory syndrome.

SARS began on November 16, 2002.

The outbreak broke out on November 16, 2002 in Shunde, Guangdong. The first reported case was Huang Xingchu, who was found to be suffering from hail disease in Heyuan City on 15 December 2002. On January 10, 2003, Huang Xingchu** was discharged from the hospital, and was later identified as the first reported case of atypical pneumonia in China.

At the end of December 2002, rumors appeared among the people of Guangdong about a deadly disease, and even that a large number of patients had died from this strange disease in some hospitals. Due to the rumors that boiling vinegar and drinking banlan root can prevent strange diseases, there is a trend of rushing to buy rice vinegar and banlan root in the market.

Unable to buy rice vinegar and banlang root, many people turned to their relatives and friends in Hong Kong for assistance, so that their illness could be known to the outside world. On the other hand, due to Hong Kong's proximity to Guangdong Province, quite a number of workers with relatives and friends in Guangdong Province have requested their employers to cook rice vinegar in the workplace to allow the steam of rice vinegar to be disinfected and sterilized. Some employers rejected this seemingly nonsensical approach, while others complied with it for the sake of reassurance from their employees.

Prevention of SARS:

1. Control the source of infection.

1) Epidemic report China has listed severe acute respiratory syndrome as the first category of notifiable infectious diseases implemented on December 1, 2004 in the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, and stipulates that it shall be reported, isolated** and managed according to Class A infectious diseases. When the disease is found or suspected, it should be reported to the health and epidemic prevention agency as soon as possible. Early detection, early isolation, and early **.

2) Isolation of ** patients Clinically diagnosed cases and suspected diagnosed cases should be isolated and observed separately according to respiratory infectious diseases in designated hospitals.

3) Isolation and observation of close contacts For cases under medical observation and close contacts, if conditions permit, they should be quarantined and observed at a designated place for a period of 14 days. When undergoing quarantine observation at home, you should pay attention to ventilation, avoid close contact with family members, and be medically observed by the health and epidemic prevention department, and measure your body temperature every day.

2. Cut off the way of spreading stupidity.

1) Comprehensive prevention in the community: reduce large-scale mass gatherings or activities, and maintain ventilation and air circulation in public places; Eliminate the hidden danger of siltation in the sewage drainage system of residential buildings.

2) Maintain good personal hygiene, do not spit, avoid sneezing, coughing, cleaning the nasal passages in front of people, and wash hands afterwards; ventilate your home or event space; Wash your hands frequently; Avoid going to crowded or relatively confined places, and pay attention to wearing a mask.

3) Hospitals should set up fever clinics and establish special channels for this disease.

SARS occurred in 2003. The year 2003 (two thousand and three) is a common year in the Gregorian calendar. A SARS event is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) event

SARS is a global infectious disease epidemic that occurred in Guangdong, China in 2002 and spread to Southeast Asia and the world, and was not gradually eliminated until mid-2003.

As of August 16, 2003, Chinese mainland has reported a total of 5,327 clinically diagnosed cases of atypical pneumonia, 4,959 cases have been discharged, and 349 deaths have occurred (another 19 cases died from other diseases, not included in the number of SARS deaths). Hong Kong: 1,755 cases, 300 deaths; Taiwan, China:

665 cases and 180 deaths.

Early stage of SARS:

It is now generally believed that the disease first broke out on 16 November 2002 in Foshan, Guangdong Province. On November 16, 2002, Pang Zuoyao developed fever, headache, dry cough, fatigue and other symptoms, and was rushed to Foshan Shiwan Hospital, where he was transferred to the Department of Infectious Diseases of Foshan First People's Hospital nine days later.

SARS isIt was a global infectious disease epidemic that occurred in Guangdong in 2002 and spread to Southeast Asia and even the world, and was not gradually eliminated until mid-2003. 2002 is the Year of the Horse and 2003 is the Year of the Goat

The first case of SARS in China was detected on November 16, 2002 in Foshan, Guangdong. In February 2003, the SARS epidemic in Guangdong entered a period of high incidence. From the beginning of 2003 to the end of May, the SARS epidemic occurred in some parts of the country, and the epidemic began to be effectively controlled, which roughly went through three stages:

In the first stage, from January to March, the epidemic was mainly concentrated in Guangdong Province. At the end of March, a total of 1,190 clinically diagnosed cases were reported in Chinese mainland, of which 1,153 were in Guangdong, accounting for 97%.

In the second stage, in April, the epidemic began to spread to other provinces and gradually concentrated in Beijing, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Tianjin. At the end of April, a total of 3,460 confirmed cases of sedan cars were reported across the country. Among them, there are 3,368 cases in 5 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government and Guangdong Province in North China, accounting for 3,368 cases.

In the third stage, in May, the national epidemic situation showed a steady and declining trend. In early May, the country averaged 151 new cases per day; In mid-May, there were an average of 45 new cases per day; In late May, there was an average of 14 new cases per day. And there was a gradual downward trend, and the epidemic began to be effectively controlled.

The early detection of SARS

It is now generally believed that the disease first broke out in Foshan City, Guangdong Province on November 16, 2002, and on November 16, 2002, Pang Zuoyao developed symptoms such as fever, headache, dry cough, and fatigue, and was rushed to Foshan Shiwan Hospital, and 9 days later, was transferred to the Department of Infectious Diseases of Foshan First People's Hospital, and later Pang Zuoyao was officially recognized as the first case of SARS infection in China.

Later, in December 2002, Huang Xingchu, a native of Heyuan City, who was working in Shenzhen, felt unwell, like a cold and cold, so he went to a nearby clinic to see a doctor, and the doctor said that the problem was not big.

On the 8th, he felt that the effect of hail elimination in the clinic was not good, so he went to the hospital to get an injection, and on the 13th, it was not good, so he returned to Heyuan City, ** a few days, and the symptoms were more serious than those in Shenzhen, and he was sent to Heyuan City People's Hospital at more than 10 o'clock in the evening on the 16th, and the next day his condition worsened, and he had difficulty breathing, and was sent to the General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region. The world's first reported case of SARS patient, Huang Xing, was hospitalized after the initial onset of the disease.
