Answering Bai Yansong’s Eight Questions Zhong Nanshan put forward three "keys"
Prevention, don’t go to Wuhan without special circumstances, this is very important.
Wearing a mask is still useful. Actually, you don’t have to wear N95.
Early detection and early treatment should prevent transmission and prevent the emergence of "super communicators".
[Name card] Zhong Nanshan, head of the high-level expert group of the National Health and Wellness Commission, academician of the China Academy of Engineering, national clinical research expert on respiratory diseases, and a leading figure in the fight against atypical pneumonia in China in 2003.
Summary of some Q&A records:
Bai Yansong: How can you tell it’s from person to person?
Zhong Nanshan: According to the current data, it must have been passed down from person to person. In Wu Hanyou, two patients in Guangdong have never been to Wuhan, but after their families went to Wuhan, they were infected with novel coronavirus, so now they can.There must be a phenomenon of human transmission..
Bai Yansong: What should we do from the perspective of medical experts, including the whole medical system? How should ordinary people guard against it?
Zhong Nanshan: The key points,One is prevention. Don’t go to Wuhan without special circumstances. This is very important.. If you feel sick or catch a cold, you should go to the local fever clinic and check if necessary. Wear a mask if you are uncomfortable.Wearing a mask is still useful. Actually, you don’t have to wear N95.. Because these viruses do not exist alone, they often exist in droplets. General surgical masks can still block most of them, and wearing masks is still useful.
Bai Yansong: What symptoms do ordinary people have to go to the hospital for treatment? Is it a fever?
Zhong Nanshan: Because there are more flu in winter, it is not enough to have a fever. One isI have been to Wuhan or there are people from Wuhan at home.This is a premise. Besides, I have a fever, so I should be on my guard.You must go to the fever clinic. At the same time, do nucleic acid testing when necessary..
Other important information:
Novel coronavirus’s infection has just started and is climbing at the same time, so compared with SARS at that time, it is not so infectious and toxic.
The current mortality rate cannot be comprehensive, and I am afraid it depends on the development of the disease. We should be vigilant on this issue.
Preliminary epidemiological analysis shows that it is actually transmitted to people through wild animals, which is quite possible. But there is still the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, which is the time for us to be vigilant.
From all aspects of epidemiological investigation, it is more likely that the virus comes from a wild animal, such as bamboo rats and badgers.
There is no specific medicine in novel coronavirus at present, but some animal experiments and observations are being carried out now, so scientific research should keep up. During the Spring Festival, it is estimated that the number of sick people will increase, so it is necessary to prevent transmission and prevent the emergence of "super communicators".
On the afternoon of 20th, in response to the prevention and control of "pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus", Academician Zhong Nanshan, the head of the high-level expert group of the National Health and Wellness Commission, and others answered a reporter’s question, saying that "super communicators" had not appeared yet, and prevention and control in advance was effective.
Virologists: The key point should be to prevent the emergence of "super communicators"
Zhong Nanshan: At present, there is no "super-disseminator" in the SARS epidemic 17 years ago. Timely isolation of suspicious patients and close contacts can effectively prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Guan Yi: After a period of development, the ability to spread the virus will be improved. At a certain level, some special cases will appear in the crowd, and a large number of viruses will be carried, forming a "super communicator". We should find advanced communicators and super communicators as soon as possible, and especially try to prevent the emergence of super communicators.
On January 21st, "News 1+1" continued to connect with Zhou Xianwang, Mayor of Wuhan, Gao Zhancheng, a member of the expert group of the National Health and Wellness Commission, and Wang Bin, deputy director of the CDC of the National Health and Wellness Commission, to answer your questions.
Incubation period of virus: the average is about 7 days, and the longest is 12 days
Gao Zhancheng: In 2003, it will take about half a year to locate the SARS virus. existNovel coronavirus will be confirmed within two weeks.This provides scientific basis and guidance for the research and development of antiviral drugs and vaccines.
Gao Zhancheng: Judging from the existing cases, (incubation period of the virus)The average is about 7 days, ranging from 2 to 3 days short to 12 days long..
How to distinguish the common cold from novel coronavirus infection, and under what circumstances do you need to see a doctor?
Gao Zhancheng: According to the existing cases, the main symptoms are fever, low fever or even high fever; Mainly dry cough; Shortness of breath and chest tightness after three or five days; Some patients will have symptoms of respiratory failure and shock. Remind everyone,Anyone who has fever symptoms should seek medical attention in time, especially those who have been exposed to cases, and seek medical attention as soon as possible..
