On the above hot issues
Let's take a look at the experts' interpretations
Why has the number of new coronavirus infections increased recently?
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infection of Beijing You'an Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, once said that the flu season has gradually passed, and relatively speaking, the number of new crown patients admitted in the past two weeks has indeed been more than before. Among them, most of the patients are "one yang", and the proportion of "two yang" is about a little more than one percent.
Most of the patients with "Yiyang" are elderly, and most of the patients in "Eryang" are young and middle-aged people between the ages of 20 and 50, which may be related to their frequent social activities. Li Tong once reminded that the second infection of the new crown is generally lighter than the first time, but it is still contagious. "Patients with secondary infection need to be reminded to do a good job of isolation and protection, rest at home, avoid transmission to others, and use some over-the-counter drugs to relieve symptoms as appropriate."
Li Tong once said that for people infected with the new crown virus, the antibodies in the body are still at a high level, and the risk of secondary infection is still relatively low. However, the risk of secondary infection in the elderly and immunocompromised people who have been infected for more than half a year since the last infection will still increase, because the resistance of this group will decline faster, especially in the face of XBB.1.16, a strain with strong immune evasion ability.
It is understood that although the flow of people increases the risk of transmission of the virus, it is more for the "Weiyang" population, which should pay special attention to protection.
Will the symptoms of "two yang" be milder?
Need medical intervention?
Li Tong once said, "For most people with normal immune function, even if the 'secondary infection', the symptoms will be milder, and there will not be a large number of people infected in a short period of time like the first time." And the subsequent peak of the epidemic will not be as obvious as before, and may show a slower peak. ”
Hu Bijie, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said, "According to clinical observations, the population with secondary infection is generally milder than the symptoms of the first infection, mainly manifested as fever and sore throat. ”
Wang Xinyu, deputy director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the National Medical Center for Infectious Diseases and Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that if the antigen test is positive, it means that it is the time when the infection is relatively strong, it is recommended not to go to schools and other social places for the time being, but whether you need to go to the hospital depends on whether it is a high-risk group, and whether there is a tendency to become severe.
Vulnerable groups such as over 65 years old, especially the elderly over 80 years old, hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, chronic liver and kidney disease, diabetes and other underlying diseases, once such people have fever, especially family members or surrounding groups have clearly identified new crown infection, to do nucleic acid or antigen testing in time, early detection, early treatment, early use of antiviral drugs.

Gao Fu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences:
The higher the number of infections, the higher the risk of sequelae
Recently, the 2023 academic annual meeting of the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases, hosted by the National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Fifth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Chinese People's Liberation Army, was held in Beijing. Gao Fu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other experts and scholars exchanged views on topics such as the long new crown, vaccine and drug research and development.
For a long time, there has been a lot of controversy about whether there is a "long new crown". Gao Fu believes that the long new crown is a basic fact, do not avoid it, do not dare to say it because the long new crown may have an impact on human beings, this is not a scientific attitude. "The more infections, the higher the risk of sequelae, which is based on clinical data, so patients should be diagnosed and medicationd."
Regarding the construction of the prevention and treatment system of emerging infectious diseases, Gao Fu said: "In the future, whether we do public health research or clinical research, we must pay attention to fact-based, that is, evidence-based medicine. At the same time, he stressed that in response to the new infectious diseases that may come in the future, everyone must unite and protect all mankind with technology and medicine.
At this stage, how should we do a good job in health protection?
Li Tong once said that the number of new crown virus infections has increased, mainly due to people who have not "impotent" in the previous round. First of all, we must remind this part of the population to focus on protection.
The "Eryang" group is mainly young people, who participate in more social activities, and at present, due to the gradual warmer weather, many people have begun to wear no masks. Remind them to protect themselves by wearing masks and washing their hands frequently in places with poor air circulation and people with fever and cough symptoms around.
For key groups and vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and people with underlying diseases, protection should be strengthened. Especially for the elderly over 80 years old or people with serious underlying diseases, special attention should be paid to avoid going to crowded places and wearing masks in a closed environment.
The college entrance examination season and graduation season are approaching, and teachers and students in school should also pay attention to their own health and strengthen protection so as not to affect their studies and examinations. If respiratory symptoms occur, you should rest at home in time, do not bring illness to work and school, and recover your health as soon as possible while avoiding crowd transmission.
