Reporter Observation Panic Is Also A Kind Of Virus.

Zhu Ping / Wen

Since the outbreak of new crown pneumonia in China, rumors have been flying all over the world. Rumours and some misunderstandings have also caused panic among the people. As the epidemic spreads worldwide, many countries seem to be copying the previous Chinese version and even the "panic index".

In fact, no matter in history or at the moment, "panic" will bring all kinds of negative effects directly.

If the outbreak of influenza in Spain started in 1918, the situation was not serious at the beginning. As long as the city could be isolated well, no longer allowed to spread it out, but at that time, the local residents faced the unknown virus panic and spread rapidly, and the infected people ran away wildly, bringing the virus to all parts of the world, resulting in a worse propagation. Finally, the number of people who died was even more than the first. World War II.

Amid rumors and pandemic panic, a large number of American consumers poured into Costco supermarkets across the United States to fight for cleaning products, hand sanitizing products, disinfectant products, paper towels, bottled water and canned foods. In Australia, Japan and other countries, there has been a phenomenon of toilet paper.

It is undeniable that there is still a lack of knowledge about the new coronavirus pneumonia. No one knows exactly where the virus comes from, no targeted drugs and vaccines, and no one can guarantee that it has complete resistance. With the spread of the disease, more and more people are suffering from the disease, and the number of deaths is increasing.

But as Tan Desai, director general of the World Health Organization, has repeatedly stressed, viruses are terrible, but rumors and panic are even more frightening than viruses. "This is a moment that requires facts rather than fears."

Panic is a big source of unknown. The best way to eliminate panic is to get close to and touch the truth. In fact, China has gone through several months of epidemic fighting and accumulated a lot of valuable experience. These lessons and experiences play a positive role in the fight against new crown pneumonia in other countries in the world.

On the evening of February 24th, after ending a 9 day visit to China, the China WHO new crown pneumonia joint expert group held a news conference in Beijing, praising China's unprecedented public health response measures, and achieved remarkable results in slowing down the spread of the epidemic and blocking the interpersonal transmission of disease.

From China's experience, it is now clear that a new important coronavirus will be transmitted to humans through close contact, such as the spread of droplets at close range, and the secretion through oral and eye transmission. The cognition of these information is also directly from the treatment of Chinese patients by front-line medical staff.

Based on the results of limited autopsy and biopsy, the new type of coronavirus pneumonia diagnosis and treatment plan (Trial Seventh Edition) released by the national health and Health Committee of China in March 4th concluded that the pathological changes were increased, the changes of some organs under the influence of the new crown virus were clarified, and more detailed suggestions and plans were put forward for children and pregnant women, and heavy weights were also added. The treatment of critical cases is multiple.

It also includes testing methods based on Chinese clinical experience, available drugs and so on.

All of these provide references for clinical treatment of new crown pneumonia in other countries in the world. At the same time, China CDC has also made many prevention and control strategies and experiences in aspects of virus detection and popular science popularization.

According to the website of China's CDC website, in February 28th, at the request of the Red Cross Society of China, Ma Xuejun, a researcher from the China Center for Disease Control and prevention of viral diseases, sent an urgent visit to Iran to carry out the task of the Red Cross Society of China to assist in the prevention and control of new crown pneumonia in Iran, and to guide Iran to carry out the detection of the new crown virus laboratory.

In March 4th, Raji, director of the Public Health Research Institute of the African Center for Disease Control and prevention, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua news agency that China has strong professional knowledge and experience in the prevention and control of the outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia.

China provides guidance on the clinical nursing work of African countries through the provision of case management manuals and other documents. At the same time, China has provided a large number of diagnostic tools to African countries to help African countries better diagnose cases.
