Omikeron is not a "big flu"! The awareness of prevention and control cannot be relaxed

Half Moon Talk Commentator Tai Sicong

Recently, many places across the country have announced confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia infected by the Omilon and Delta variant strains, and there has been a multi-point sporadic situation, and the two viruses are intertwined and superimposed, making the epidemic prevention and control situation more severe and complex, and also bringing greater risks and challenges to the Spring Festival reunion and the epidemic prevention and control work of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The Omiljung virus spreads quickly, is more insidious, and the symptoms of infection are generally mild, and when the high influenza season comes, some people mistakenly believe that it is influenza when they have symptoms related to the new crown epidemic, and do not pay much attention. Taking a confirmed case in Haidian District, Beijing as an example, the patient took medication on his own after developing pharyngeal discomfort, fatigue and other symptoms, and failed to go to the hospital for treatment at the first time. This also reminds us that we must always tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control, adhere to good hygiene habits such as wearing masks and washing hands frequently, and seek medical treatment in time if there is fever, cough and other symptoms.

In addition, some people, affected by the news of the epidemic abroad, believe that Omi kerong is a "big flu" and do not need to worry too much, so they relax their vigilance. However, Experts such as Zhang Wenhong and Zhang Boli have pointed out that Omi Kerong is not a "big flu", it will not only "bite people", resulting in severe illness in people with low immunity, but also produce sequelae in some patients. The global study of Omikeron is still in its early stages, many questions are not clear, and it is undoubtedly irresponsible to unilaterally relax epidemic prevention measures at this time.

Zhang Ying, deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, believes that from the clinical manifestations of the epidemic cases in Tianjin, Omi Kerong cannot be regarded as a large flu. Among the 361 positive infected people in Tianjin, 42% are ordinary types, and from the clinical diagnosis, ordinary types, whether light or heavy, are manifestations of pneumonia. For diseases, if the proportion of pneumonia can reach 42%, it cannot be equated with large influenza.

The upcoming Spring Festival will be the third Spring Festival we have spent in the context of the new crown epidemic, and in the long-term epidemic prevention and control process, it is inevitable that there will be laxity. In the case of sporadic epidemics, it is particularly important to minimize the gathering of people and do a good job in personal protection, and only by actively improving the awareness of prevention and control and maintaining a state of vigilance can we prevent the recurrence of cluster infections caused by temporary gatherings.

In addition, while doing a good job in civil air defense, material defense cannot be taken lightly. Recently, the phenomenon of suspected "material transmission to human" in Beijing, Guangdong and other places has not ruled out the possibility of infection with the virus through overseas items, and all localities should strengthen the construction of the virus monitoring system, detect and deal with it as soon as possible. Cases of detecting the new crown virus in key industries such as cold chain transportation have been common, but in the face of goods and cold chain transportation products in overseas or epidemic-related areas, there are still confirmed cases, which also sounded an alarm bell for us, and the epidemic prevention cannot be relaxed for a moment.
