What is the current epidemic situation in the country, and what are the epidemic situations in China

At present, the main variants that cause the epidemic in China have been concentrated in two, one is the epidemic in Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Chongqing, and Xinjiang, which are the main "culprits", and the other is the main dominant strain of the recent epidemic in Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Shaoguan, Guangdong and other places.

Regardless of whether it is, or it is, it is a subvariant of Omicron, which was once the dominant strain that caused the pandemic in Europe and the United States in the first half of this year, and it is a relatively new subvariant, which currently accounts for 9% of the infection in the United States, and is a variant with strong transmissibility and strong immune escape.

The current coronavirus.

Although the number of mutations formed on the spike protein is slightly different, it is still very close, and the result of this mutation is that the transmissibility of the virus is further enhanced, and the immune escape ability has also been enhanced, which is also an important reason why related epidemics have occurred in various places and are more difficult to control.

In the face of some such variants, epidemic prevention and control.

The increase in difficulty can be imagined, but at the same time, relevant research data and statistics also show that the virulence of the virus is weakening, leading to a greatly reduced chance of severe disease and death, which is still gratifying.

The risk will be further reduced. Paying close attention to the changes in virulence of dominant transmissible variants and the chance of severe disease caused by them is also something we should focus on in epidemic prevention and control.

Another point that needs to be reminded is that the current domestic variants that cause the epidemic have certain differences and time differences with foreign epidemic strains.

Now many regions in Europe and the United States, as well as variants have shown an upward trend, may replace the new winter dominant transmissible variant, while in Asia Singapore, Bangladesh.

India as well as the Southern Hemisphere.

In Australia and other places, the XBB variant has also triggered a new wave of infection, and some new variants, which have stronger transmissibility, will cause new epidemics in China in the future, which is also worth paying special attention to.

Of course, this situation is just a worry and speculation, and the current global epidemic because of the emergence of multiple variants, whether there will be a variant gradually dominant, or the trend of different variants in many places is not yet known, in any case, for ourselves, do our own personal protection, wear masks, wash hands frequently, keep indoor ventilation, less gatherings, try to maintain social distancing, or we should pay more attention to protect our health.

At present, the global epidemic situation is still running at a high level, and China's local clusters of epidemics are characterized by many points, wide coverage and frequent occurrences, and the prevention and control situation is still severe and complex.

It is necessary to unswervingly adhere to the general strategy of "external prevention of importation and internal prevention" and the general policy of "dynamic zero-COVID", strictly follow the ninth version of the prevention and control plan and the requirements of the "nine prohibitions", implement the "quadripartite responsibility" of territories, departments, units and individuals, and stop the spread of the epidemic with speed, firmly guard the bottom line of no large-scale epidemic, and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been 12 epidemics, including tuberculosis in 1949, plague in 1955, Asian influenza in 1957, schistosomiasis in 1958, smallpox in 1961, encephalitis in 1966, influenza in Hong Kong in 1968, cholera in 1981, hepatitis A in 1988, leprosy in 1999, SARS in 2003, and new crown pneumonia in 2019

In recent years, there have been cases of SARS and new coronavirus infection in China.

In recent years, there have been large and small cases of epidemics in China, and there are also students, the elderly, and adults who have been infected with the epidemic, and the terrible nature of the epidemic is very serious, which can threaten the lives of people.

1. Schistosomiasis: There are 10,000 patients in China, 10,000 terminally ill patients, about 60,000 sick cattle, and about 60 million threatened population. In recent years, the epidemic situation in China has increased significantly, and the epidemic has appeared again in the counties that have reached transmission control and blockage, and the area of snails and positive snails has expanded significantly.

In 2003, China reported 1,113 cases of acute distress, an increase of 25 per cent over 2002.

2. SARS: It occurred in southern China in the winter and spring of 2002-2003 and rapidly spread to 26 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, as well as 29 countries and regions, with a total of 8,423 cases. Among them, China has 5,327 cases and 349 deaths.

The high fatality rate of SARS has caused panic among the masses. There were sporadic cases in Guangzhou and Beijing this spring, and there were no new transmissions after the control.

3. Plague: There are still 19 provinces and regions in China, and in recent years, plague among rats has been active, and some counties that have been under stable control for a long time have successively seen epidemics among animals, and the plague among rats is violent, and human plague has occurred from time to time. Some of the epidemic foci are very close to large cities and transportation arteries, and some of the epidemic foci have a high rate of carrying the bacterium, and many medical institutions and medical personnel have low awareness and ability to detect patients, and there is a hidden danger of human epidemic.

4. Avian influenza: In recent years, some countries and regions have a wide range of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, and the number of human infection cases has increased year by year.

5. Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), referred to as "new crown pneumonia", named "coronavirus disease 2019" by the World Health Organization, refers to pneumonia caused by 2019 novel coronavirus infection. Since December 2019, some hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei Province, have successively found a number of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause with a history of exposure to the Huanan seafood market, which have now been confirmed to be acute respiratory infections caused by 2019 novel coronavirus infection.

First, the change in the epidemic situation. At present, the new crown epidemic is still prevalent in the world, and the frequency of local epidemics in the country has increased significantly since the beginning of this year, and the epidemic has affected a wide range of areas, especially in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta region, as well as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and border port cities. In the past month, the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control in China has been stable and improving, the number of positive infections has continued to decline, and the number of areas with epidemics is also decreasing, creating a window period for optimizing and adjusting the prevention and control plan.

Second, our research has found the characteristics of virus mutations. The Omicron variant has become the dominant epidemic strain in China's imported and local epidemics. The study suggests that the Omicron variant has a short incubation period, stronger virus transmissibility, faster transmission speed, stronger immune evasion ability, and strong insidious transmission, which brings new challenges to epidemic prevention and control.

Third, we have carried out some pilot studies in the early stage. According to the decision-making and deployment of the new crown epidemic prevention and control mechanism, the comprehensive team of the joint prevention and control mechanism carried out a one-month pilot study on the optimization of new crown epidemic prevention and control measures in 7 cities including Dalian, Suzhou, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, Guangzhou and Chengdu between April and May, and obtained a lot of scientific evidence. At the same time, we have revised the prevention and control plan based on the prevention and control practices of various places, especially the experience and experience of large-scale epidemic handling in Shanghai, Jilin and other places, and also referred to the guidelines issued by the WHO in the first half of the year.

After 3 years of genetic mutations, the virus is now very virulent, and even if the infection is positive, the vast majority are asymptomatic. Besides, you have been injected with three doses of vaccine, don't be afraid, relax, and the nucleic acid will automatically turn negative after a few days. Asymptomatic people who don't use drugs** can defeat the virus through autoimmunity.

If you have mild symptoms, you will be able to take medication with your doctor** soon**.

Nucleic acid testing is to track and observe the growth and mutation of the virus, and when the virus is very virulent, nucleic acid testing should be stopped, and the existence of the virus should be ignored. Imagine that in 2003, when the SASI virus was spreading, nucleic acid testing has been carried out, and it is estimated that it has mutated 100 times now. Nucleic acid testing is canceled, patients are seen (just like tuberculosis), and everything is back to nature.

In fact, each of us has a variety of viruses and bacteria, which are called viral groups and microflora in medicine, which have been domesticated and conquered by our immune system, and have been harmless or even beneficial to our body. Any virus or bacterium has its own process of generation, development, and interdependence and harmonious coexistence with living organisms. Just like flies and mosquitoes, no matter how much people hate them, they can't completely eradicate them.

The total number of COVID cases in China is declining, and in time, there will be a day when all of them will be cleared. However, let's not take it lightly, the epidemic has appeared in various places one after another, and the alarm has been sounded in many places.

The overall situation of the epidemic continues to improve.

From the outbreak in Wuhan, to Hubei Province as the hardest-hit area, to the discovery of confirmed patients with new crown pneumonia across the country. From the lockdown of Wuhan to the closure of cities and traffic blockades across the country, the whole people implemented prevention and control measures, and the day before yesterday, the "three zeros" such as domestic and overseas imports were realized, which was the first time that there was an intersection and a gratifying phenomenon.

While resuming work and production, epidemic prevention and control measures have also been implemented.

The current round of the epidemic in my country is improving as a whole, but the recent sudden increase in cases in these two places must be taken care of!

What is the state of the epidemic in 2023? The epidemic situation in 2023 is not serious.

The epidemic will not be very serious in March. After being infected with the new crown, there will generally be a certain protection period, the new crown virus has not yet mutated much, the antibodies obtained from the previous infection can make most people effectively immune for 3-6 months, the peak of the second wave may occur in May and June, and the epidemic in March will not be serious.

2. At present, the overall epidemic situation in the country has entered a low-epidemic situation, of which the new coronavirus infection rate in Henan is nearly ninety percent, and the epidemic situation in various places has maintained a steady downward trend. Even if there is a second wave of the epidemic in the future, the scale of the epidemic will be much smaller than the first round, and it will be about 25%-50% of the first round, so there is no need to be overly nervous.

The new Dajing coronavirus pneumonia is referred to as "new crown pneumonia", and the World Health Organization named it "coronavirus disease 2019", which refers to the pneumonia caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus infection. Since December 2019, some hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei Province, have successively found a number of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause with a history of exposure to the Huanan seafood market, which are confirmed to be acute respiratory infections caused by 2019 novel coronavirus infection.

According to the National Health Commission, from 0:00 to 24:00 on the 19th, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 12 new confirmed cases, including 11 imported cases and 1 local case (in Liaoning); There were 16 new asymptomatic infections, including 15 imported cases and 1 local case (in Anhui).

1 new local confirmed case in Yingkou, Liaoning:

According to the Liaoning Provincial Health Commission on the 20th, from 0:00 to 24:00 on the 19th, Liaoning Province added 1 new local confirmed case of new crown pneumonia, which was reported by Yingkou City. There were no new** discharges. At present, there are still 11 cases of asymptomatic infection in designated hospitals**.

1 new case of asymptomatic infection in Lu'an, Anhui Province:

According to the Health Commission of Lu'an City, Anhui Province, on the 19th, there was one new case of asymptomatic infection in Lu'an City. As of 12 o'clock on the 19th, Lu'an City has reported a total of 5 local confirmed cases and 11 asymptomatic infections, all of which are in centralized isolation or observation in designated hospitals in Lu'an City.

5 new confirmed cases in Zhejiang:

From 0:00 to 24:00 on May 19, there were 5 new confirmed cases (all imported from the Philippines), 5 new asymptomatic infections (including 3 imported from the Philippines, 1 imported from Nigeria, and 1 imported from Serbia). As of 24:00 on the 19th, a total of 1,361 confirmed cases (142 imported cases) have been reported.

Zhong Nanshan: In the future, it may be necessary to get regular new crown vaccines

Recently, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in an interview with CGTN that if the impact of the new crown on human health is slowly reduced, then the long-term coexistence of the new crown and human beings will become possible. We may need to get vaccinated regularly, just as we do for the flu. However, in view of the emergence of virus mutations in many countries, the specific development still needs to wait and see.
