If you want to get infected sooner or later, is it "Good Morning of the Rising Sun" or the later the better? It has become an inevitable fact that the epidemic has reached its peak after the release, and a large number of patients have begun to appear in some areas. Using a model, experts have concluded that the likely outcome is that the outbreak peaks within two months, infecting about 60 percent of people, then tapering, eventually infecting 80 to 90 percent.
Many people are scared when they see such news and such conclusions. They are afraid of being infected. They always remember to avoid infection as much as possible and not to become the first wave of "little yangists". More open is also calm, and some people even suggest that since the infection will be contagious sooner or later, it is better to "cure the sun as soon as possible". Which of these two views is correct? Today we will analyze it rationally and objectively for you.
While infection cannot be prevented, it does not have to be "proactive."
According to the data model, more than 80% of people may have been infected with the new crown at least once. It seems that for the vast majority of people, infection is inevitable. There are already a lot of positive cases around. Friends also shared the symptoms of the infection and their experiences along the way. Because you can resist panic and fear, it is good to face the epidemic calmly and in a simple way, but it is recommended to have an "early sunrise, early end" mentality and try to avoid this situation.
Viral infection is not the completion of study and work tasks. Once a completely asymptomatic person is infected with the virus, the damage to health is relatively small, but everyone's constitution is different. Many people infected with COVID experience a variety of symptoms such as fever, loss of smell, body aches, cough and sore throat. While these conditions are relatively mild and many may not develop into severe symptoms, they can also cause some stress and threat to physical health. After all, no one knows until they get infected, if their symptoms are severe or if they pose a greater health risk.
Therefore, under the current epidemic situation, we still have to be "the main person responsible for our own health". Wash your hands frequently, ventilate frequently, maintain good social distancing, and try to prevent infection. These are the most important things to protect your health. The assumption of "good morning sun" and "active attack" is that after being infected, we will no longer be infected, but in fact, the reality of European and American countries tells us that although the virus can provide us with a certain specific immunity. However, in order to prevent infection in the body, antibody levels gradually decrease, and the continuous mutation of the virus allows the immune system to escape. After some time after the infection has recovered, the possibility of reinfection remains. Permanent immunity does not protect us forever and does not provide further benefits.
There are 4 types of people who should try to avoid the first peak
It is important to emphasize here that some high-risk groups need to pay more attention to avoid possible peaks in the first wave of infections.
If there is a spike in infections in the first round and a large number of people are infected, the greatest pressure is not on the population, but on medical institutions. Less stress. According to official data, the share of intensive care beds in mainland China is close to 10.1 million. In the source's example, this means that the proportion of severe cases infected with the new crown must be less than one in 10,000 to be possible. It will not cause a shortage of medical resources, nor can it meet the needs of patients for emergency treatment of other critical diseases.
If, as the model predicts, the epidemic decreases after the first wave of the epidemic, and the high-risk population is able to avoid the first peak, the incidence of post-infection critical illness will decrease. Decrease. The risks of delaying treatment are obvious.
The first is the elderly with underlying medical conditions. There are many high-risk groups after infection with the new crown, but among the high-risk groups, there is an elderly high-risk group with high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease and other problems that deserves attention. Note. And there should be a focus on defense. For the foreseeable future, reduce collection activities and try to maintain good hygiene practices to minimize the risk of infection.
The other is immunocompromised people. Immunodeficiency does not refer to people who are prone to colds but have normal immunity, but people who have immune system disorders or need to take immunosuppressants for a long time. The immune system is less able to fight the virus and more sensitive to serious risks, so more attention should be given.
The third group of people are people with severe liver and kidney failure. This group includes not only the elderly, but also young people who have serious liver and kidney disease for some reason. For such people, liver and kidney failure, on the one hand, will affect the functions of the body, and the resistance to the virus will be weak. On the other hand, when an infection occurs, various symptoms and even serious problems occur, the use of drugs is greatly restricted, and there is often a danger that the drug cannot be used. Therefore, it is also an important group to watch. In addition, women in the third trimester and perinatal period, obese people with a BMI over 35, and smokers should also be concerned about the risk of serious illness after infection.
If you are infected, don't panic
One thing should be clear: due to the highly contagious nature of Omicrons, we may not be 100% immune to infection, even if we do our best to protect ourselves. What we can do is try to prevent infection and reduce the risk of infection. When there is a risk of infection, let yourself go and actively deal with it, so that you can more calmly deal with possible viral infections.
If you have symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, cough, etc., whether it is a new coronavirus infection or not, you may need to self-isolate first to see if it is caused by the new coronavirus infection. Nucleic acid testing is the gold standard, and friends who are not feeling well can self-test antigens at home. The asymptomatic antigen self-test result may be falsely negative, but if there is a positive result when symptoms appear, in principle, it can be determined that it is indeed a new crown infection.
If you do get infected, you don't have to panic. From the current situation, most people can gradually recover by relying on their own immunity. During the recovery process, they may develop a fever and severe sore throat. Cough, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. can also be relieved by rational medication. We will not go into detail about the types of drugs here, but the principle of drugs is that the most important thing is to effectively relieve symptoms and reduce symptoms. Don't use too much and make sure to avoid overlap.
If during the development of the disease, severe symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, coma, shock and other severe symptoms occur at rest, it is also necessary to identify and contact medical institutions in time for treatment as soon as possible. It is possible to receive treatment...
Therefore, even if infection is inevitable, do not think that this epidemic has the sweet spot for infection. Of course, the best thing to do is not to get infected. But since it is a reality, we don't have to worry every day, this is unhealthy, and the mental state of the body will also affect the health of the body, don't you think?
