On October 27, Yang Xiaobing, director of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Institute of the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced when interpreting the characteristics of the current round of the epidemic in Wuhan and how citizens should take daily precautions . The BA.5.2 evolutionary branch of the Chron variant strain has two distinct characteristics:
High viral load and highly contagious
The basic reproduction number of this strain is 18.6, which means that an average infected person can infect 18 people during its infectious period.
The incubation period and intergenerational distance are short, and the epidemic develops rapidly
The average time from being infected to infecting a person is only 2 days, and the shortest is only 24 hours.
The author sorted out and found that Zhengzhou, Henan, Nanjing, Jiangsu, Fuzhou, Fujian, Datong, Shanxi… were all invaded by the BA.5.2 evolutionary branch of the Omicron variant.
I have a few feelings about this epidemic, and I would like to share with you:
The reported infection is completely controllable, but the actual feeling is unprecedented
The transmissibility of the Omicron variant is getting stronger and stronger, and the infection is becoming more and more hidden, because most people are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms such as fever and cough after infection.
This also means that it is more and more difficult to find infected people, and it is less and less timely. When positive, some infected people have already spread in the crowd.
Of course, one thing must be pointed out here. After all, these “escape” positive infected persons are a minority, and the vast majority can still be found at the first time, because from the reports from various places, most of the infected persons are from the controlled and quarantined groups, and only Very few come from social screening .
Data map
The Omicron variant is by no means a major flu and a minor cold
Two characteristics are sufficient to illustrate, one is sequelae , and there have been many related studies.
The other is the case fatality rate , especially for the elderly. The case fatality rate of infected with Omicron is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary influenza, and it is even nearly a hundred times higher for people over 80 years old.
Once it spreads, it will infect a large number of people in a short period of time, which is bound to cause a medical run and cause serious casualties.
Data map
No infection is the best prevention
How to avoid infection, on the basis of daily protection and vaccination, the role of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be ignored .
No matter how the new coronavirus mutates, it belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine epidemics.
In the past three years of fighting the epidemic, traditional Chinese medicine has played a unique and irreplaceable role, and it is still on the front line of fighting the epidemic today.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to “righteousness is stored in the body, and evil cannot do it” , and through early intervention, the body’s righteousness and resistance can be improved.

A picture to understand the “dry goods” of returning to work and returning to work
Dahe Health News reporter Zhang Baofu correspondent Zhang Yong
After returning to work, how to protect when entering and leaving the office? Does the office need to be sanitized? What risks should be avoided when eating? Do I need to clean and disinfect after returning home from get off work? …
At present, Zhengzhou’s epidemic prevention and control work is in a critical period. In order to effectively prevent and control the spread of the new coronavirus epidemic after resumption of work, in addition to taking their own protective measures, the workplace should also be effectively disinfected.
Yuan Zhongliang, director of the Disinfection and Vector Biological Control Institute of the Zhengzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reminded that public areas such as offices often have a large flow of people and are densely populated. It is very important to disinfect the office.
“When returning to work, everyone’s awareness of self-protection cannot be relaxed, and they should still maintain good hygiene habits such as frequent hand washing, wearing masks, and frequent ventilation. Carry disposable medical masks or medical surgical masks with you, and maintain social distance.”
Yuan Zhongliang said that special attention should be paid to the preventive disinfection of high-touch items such as keyboards, mice, landlines, and mobile phones . You can use 75% alcohol disinfection wipes or other disinfection wipes to wipe the surface of objects. However, it should be noted that when using alcohol indoors, do not spray it directly in the air to avoid accidents.
