Reporter: What is the current epidemic situation, will there still be a large-scale epidemic in China?
Wang Wei: According to the monitoring data of the direct reporting system of the National Infectious Disease Network, since mid-to-late April, the number of confirmed cases of new crown reported nationwide has shown an upward trend, but the vast majority of the confirmed cases reported are mild. In the future, the possibility of a continued increase in new crown cases in local areas is not excluded, but the possibility of a large-scale epidemic in the mainland is unlikely.
Reporter: Has the number of "Eryang" patients really increased? From the perspective of the outpatient situation in the hospital, is there more "first yang" or more "two yang"?
Wang Wei: Judging from the recent fever visits, most of the infected patients are infected with the new coronavirus for the first time, and the proportion of secondary infections has increased in the past week or two.

Reporter: Are the symptoms of "Eryang" milder than "Shouyang"?
Wang Wei: At present, many people still have protective antibodies in the group, even if they are second infected, the symptoms are generally mild, the course of the disease is relatively short, and there are few severe cases. 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. It should be noted that the elderly and people with underlying diseases are prone to severe disease after secondary infection. Therefore, once such people have fever, especially family members or surrounding groups have clearly identified new crown infection, timely detection, early detection, early treatment.
Reporter: Will influenza A and the new crown be superimposed on infection?
Wang Wei: The probability of superimposed infection between influenza A and the new crown is very small, and influenza A and the new crown belong to two different infectious diseases, although the onset symptoms are similar, but there are still differences between the two. It is more difficult for the general public to distinguish between influenza A and the new crown only from the symptoms, or to do the etiological judgment, you can do the antigen test of the new crown at home or go to the hospital for related testing. The superimposed infection of new crown and influenza A can easily lead to systemic symptoms and aggravation of lung disease, and people with relatively low immune function or underlying diseases should pay attention.

Reporter: Is a sore throat infected with the new crown?
Wang Wei: The throat is the portal of the human respiratory tract, whether it is influenza virus, new coronavirus, or bacterial infection, it may cause sore throat, and attention should be paid to identification, differentiated treatment, and symptomatic standard treatment. Patients with secondary infection with the new crown generally have mild symptoms, sore throat, do not need to be too anxious to set symptoms without worry, and many patients are simple acute upper respiratory tract infections. If you have fever and cough at the same time, and you suspect that it is a new crown infection, you can conduct a new crown antigen test yourself, and if the test result is positive, it is recommended to go to the fever clinic for treatment; If the test result is negative, but the sore throat is obvious and cannot be relieved on its own, it is also recommended to go to the respiratory clinic to rule out other bacterial infections and other problems.
Reporter: How do ordinary people deal with "Eryang"?
Wang Wei: Most people have normal immunity, infected with the new crown virus do not need to panic, at present, from a clinical point of view, the overall symptoms of the population after the second infection with the new crown virus are mild, many patients with sore throat as a prominent symptom, symptomatic treatment can be. If it is determined that they are infected with the new coronavirus, it is recommended that the patient do a good job of isolation and protection, and can rest at home to avoid transmission to others. Fully rest and eat more fruits, mild patients can take oral proprietary Chinese medicines with heat-clearing, detoxifying and throat-moistening effects, and patients with low CT values of new crown nucleic acid can take domestic drugs such as azvudine tablets, and do not necessarily have to buy too expensive imported new crown specific drugs to treat.
Reporter: How to prevent "two yang"?
Wang Wei: Regardless of whether the "first yang" and "two yang" or the uninfected group, continuing to do a good job in personal protection is the key. Staying up late to maintain adequate sleep in daily life, wear masks in public places, wash hands after going out and returning home, and properly use disinfectant to disinfect frequently touched items such as doorknobs and mobile phones. Body immunity is an important guarantee to prevent viral infections, in daily life, but also pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and protein-rich foods, in addition, you can also supplement vitamins and other nutrients to enhance the body's immunity. It is very important to recover one month after "Yangkang", during this period moderate exercise to improve their own resistance, it is not recommended to go to fitness places to gather, you can do push-ups, sit-ups, practice dumbbells, etc. at home.
