As the Spring Festival of 2022 draws nearer, the epidemic situation is beginning to become a bit elusive.
The epidemic in Xi'an has gradually receded, but the epidemic in Tianjin has begun to arouse the great concern of the people of the whole country, seeing that the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, many people are worried about ----- this year, can they live well?
(CCTV News)
According to news reports: Since January 8, in just three days, as of 9:12 a.m. on January 11, there have been a total of 31 confirmed cases of the epidemic in Tianjin, of which 10 are asymptomatic infections.
(At present, the whole city of Tianjin has started nucleic acid testing, and all schools, trusteeship institutions, and disciplinary and non-disciplinary extracurricular tutoring classes have been suspended)
Unlike previous local epidemics, the virus sequence of the Tianjin epidemic is Aomi Kerong, which is also the first case of community-transmitted infection in Chinese mainland.
The most critical thing is that Anyang, Henan Province, has also had cases of infection transmitted in the same way as Tianjin's Jinnan District, and perhaps there has been an unknown cross-regional hidden transmission.
Compared with the previous mutated virus strains, what are the characteristics of the mutated strains of Omi kerong?
Can existing vaccines resist this mutant strain?
Perhaps, this chart can tell you the answer:
There is still a bigger hidden danger in the Tianjin epidemic
Although the pathogenicity of the epidemic has been reduced, the high contagiousness and high immune escape ability of Aumi Kerong have still faced an unprecedented test of the entire city's epidemic prevention system.
The most critical thing is that the recently reported confirmed cases in Anyang, Henan Province, after the whole gene testing and analysis of the virus, this case belongs to the same chain of transmission as the local epidemic in Tianjin.

Combined with the epidemiological investigation and the genetic sequencing results, the basic lock infection originated from a college student who returned to Anyang from Jinnan District, Tianjin on December 28, 2021.
This means that the epidemic has begun to spread in Tianjin at least 12 days ago.
And where did this college student go? Where is the source of transmission? And what kind of transmission occurs at the same time... These are all still a know-it-all.
According to this rate of transmission, if the national testing is not carried out quickly and widely, it is very likely that Tianjin will not be as good as the epidemic in Guangzhou and Nanjing last year, and the total number of confirmed cases will be at least hundreds.
Although the enemy is upgrading, so are our weapons
Fortunately, in the face of the more contagious Aomi Kerong, although the enemy is changing, the weapons in our hands are also becoming stronger.
With strong nucleic acid testing capabilities, extensive vaccinations, and improving treatment options, at least we have a better chance of winning and being sure of facing Omi kerong.
Coupled with the lessons learned from Xi'an's fight against the epidemic, Tianjin should be able to plan more reasonable epidemic prevention measures.
Taking into account the scientific and warm anti-epidemic situation, taking care of the living security of residents under control can not only scientifically prevent and control, but also provide special care for the elderly, pregnant women and patients with chronic diseases, and the problem of medical treatment can be effectively arranged.
You know, Tianjin is the first city to face Omicron, but it is not necessarily the only one, and perhaps in the future every city may face such a situation.
The anti-epidemic experience in this matter can provide us with valuable experience in the future anti-epidemic adjustment.
After all, there are no bones in the world that are difficult to gnaw, and Tianjin's eyes are all fruits.
Tianjin, come on!
