Metz early reading丨 Internationally renowned medical experts believe that Omiljung is no longer a threat, and the number of seriously ill people in the world continues to decline

1. The latest judgment of Dr. Edward Ryan, a professor at Harvard University, a professor at Oxford University and an expert at Massachusetts General Hospital, is that Opmiqueron is no longer a threat

Nucleic acid testing can detect 50%-80% of people with SYMPTOMS of COVID-19; for asymptomatic infected people, only 30%-60% can be detected. In other words, 30%-60% of patients infected with Omikejong were nucleic acid negative.

Omikejong does not affect the lungs of the person, only the upper respiratory tract (nasal cavity, throat, etc.). Therefore, the person infected with Omikejong is not a covid-19 patient. Omikejong infected people have symptoms like a common cold and do not need to be hospitalized; those with mild symptoms do not have to take medicine and will heal naturally. About 40% of Omikejong infected people are asymptomatic, as if they were not infected by the virus, and do not need treatment.

The mortality rate for the common cold in the United States and the United Kingdom is 0.1%-0.5%. In the winter of 2020, the mortality rate for COVID-19 patients in the US is 2% and the mortality rate in the UK is 3%. In December 2021, the death rate among infected people in the United States and the United Kingdom was only 0.1%, and the deaths were mainly among people over the age of 75. That is to say, the mortality rate of Omikejong infected people is like the mortality rate of a mild cold.

There is no need to stay at home to work or quarantine at home because of the Omikejong outbreak, unless you have immunodeficiency or are over the age of 85. However, experts advise: if you are in a city with a lot of infected people in Omikerong, do not attend large gatherings for the next six weeks.

This summer, the new crown disease COVID-19 will end, and human beings will fully resume normal work and life. Thereafter, Omikejong infection will become a pediatric disease predominantly in unimmune young children.

2, the Uk's National Office for Statistics: about 1.33 million people in the UK are experiencing "long new crown"

The long-term syndrome caused by COVID-19, also known as "long-term COVID-19", refers to complications or persistent symptoms that patients develop weeks to months after contracting the new crown virus.

According to British media reports, a data from the Uk's Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that the number of "long new crown" patients in the United Kingdom has climbed to an all-time high, about one in 48 people, and an estimated 1.33 million people are experiencing "long new crown".

That includes more than 500,000 people who first contracted or suspected of contracting the coronavirus at least a year ago, compared with 1.27 million in early December and 945,000 at the beginning of July.

Among the occupations, the incidence is highest among those working in social care (3.4%), followed by education (3.1%) and health care (3.0%).

The self-reported "long coronavirus" is defined as symptoms lasting more than 4 weeks after the first suspected infection with the new coronavirus, and cannot be explained by other medical pathologies.

3, the United States added more than 330,000 confirmed cases Experts said that the peak of this wave of the epidemic has passed

According to Worldometer real-time statistics, as of about 6:30 Beijing time on February 5, 2022, the cumulative number of confirmed covid-19 cases in the United States 77358740, and the cumulative number of deaths 923599. Compared with the data at 6:30 a.m. the previous day, there were 331038 new confirmed cases and 4,453 new deaths in the United States.

According to the U.S. Department of Health, the number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 infection is on the decline. The average number of hospitalizations in the past seven days was 134,000, down 16% from its peak on January 20. In the face of the current epidemic situation, experts believe that the peak of the epidemic in the United States brought by the Olmikron strain has passed, especially in the densely populated coastal areas.

4. More than 240,000 new confirmed cases in France At least half of the population has been infected with the new crown

On the evening of the 2nd local time, French Health Minister Olivier Veyland pointed out in an interview with BFM tv that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, at least half of the French population has been infected with some type of new coronavirus.

5. Italy has added nearly 100,000 confirmed cases of green pass cancellation deadline

The Italian government said it would abolish the four-color epidemic prevention and control system that has been in Italy since November 2021. As no fourth dose of vaccine is available, there will be no time limit on the validity of the Green Pass for the third dose.

6. The number of asymptomatic infected people in Tokyo has increased significantly

Tokyo has added 19,798 new confirmed cases in the past 24 hours. As the coronavirus spreads, the number of asymptomatic infected people who test positive for nucleic acid in Tokyo is increasing, 2.1 times more than the fifth wave of the epidemic in August last year.

Japanese experts said: "The infection may be transmitted from asymptomatic infected people. You need to keep in mind in your daily life that even if you don't have symptoms, you can be a source of infection. ”
