"The worst days are going to pass slowly, China knows how to deal with the virus, but it will not be so rushed, and if we want to survive this epidemic with a very low case fatality rate, it may take a little longer." Dr. Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital, posted on Weibo on February 1.

Zhang Wenhong mentioned that as long as there is no large-scale medical run, even if there is no specific drug now, the disease is completely under our control. In the future, China will certainly be able to achieve the anti-epidemic model of no medical run and low case fatality rate that we hope to see through epidemic control and innovative drug research and development.
He believes that the "mystery of Omikejong" has come to an end, and humans have basically understood the characteristics of the virus strain and developed a way to deal with it. But just to say that Omikeron is the perfect attenuated strain given by God and does not need a vaccine at all, I disagree.
According to the UK Health Safety Agency, if not vaccinated in people under 60 years old, the case fatality rate of Omilon is 0.03%, similar to seasonal influenza; as age increases, the case fatality rate gradually rises, the case fatality rate of 60-69 years old is 2.65% if not vaccinated, the case fatality rate of Omilon is 8.87% if not vaccinated, and the case fatality rate of omilon is 8.87% if the elderly between 80 years old are not vaccinated. The case fatality rate of Omikron is 21.54%, and if two doses of the vaccine are given, this case fatality rate is reduced to 0.02%, 1.02%, 5.64% and 13.07%. If given with three doses, the case fatality rate is reduced to 0.0086%, 0.09%, 0.42% and 2.61%.

Even with vaccinations, there will be differences in the opening and ending control times of countries around the world. This is mainly because after vaccination, even in international data on three doses of the vaccine, we still see a higher case fatality rate (up to more than 1.8% in elderly patients). To avoid this, we also need specific drugs and medical grading management, as well as special protection for this high-risk vulnerable population, whether with vaccines or drugs.
Zhang Wenhong said that as of 7 p.m., the pre-sale box office at the beginning of today has exceeded 1.4 billion! It exceeded the Spring Festival of 2019 before the epidemic. At least from the popularity of the cinema, everyone's psychology seems to have gradually come out of the fear of the epidemic, and the prevention and control of various places has begun to slowly get rid of the one-size-fits-all, and although there are still various restrictions on the Spring Festival home for the New Year, it is not so far away.
