Why is the epidemic situation in Chongqing so severe? Experts say 3 reasons behind it
The COVID-19 virus has tormented the human world for three years, and it is still ravaging the land of China. We have been studying viruses, and viruses have subverted our cognition time and time again!
According to the latest data released by the Chongqing Municipal Health and Health Commission, as of 24:00 on November 26, there were 194 new local confirmed cases in Chongqing, 8,667 new asymptomatic infections, and one death case was a 91-year-old elderly person, involving Seven people died, and the number of reported cases in Chongqing has surpassed that in Guangzhou! Why is this wave of epidemics so serious? What are the reasons?
Reasons for the Severe Epidemic Situation in Chongqing
1) Omicron BA5.2 is transmitted by aerosol
The dean of the School of Public Health of Chongqing Medical University pointed out at the press conference on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pneumonia epidemic that the mutant virus Omicron BA5. In addition to transmission, it can also be transmitted through aerosols!
This means that the diversity of transmission methods makes us face more risks when preventing viruses. The sewage outlets of the sewers, the toilets of the toilets, the basins of the toilets, and the floor drain are all dangerous areas. If there are positive cases in the downstairs residents, The virus may spread upstairs and downstairs through aerosols.
Therefore, in order to prevent the spread of the virus, in addition to opening windows for ventilation every day, it is also necessary to pay attention to filling the sewer with water more than 2 times a day, each time no less than 350 ml; Cover and flush again, these details are what we should pay attention to in our daily life in the future.
2) Chongqing's unique geographical environment and housing characteristics
Chongqing is a mountain city with a lot of water mist, and virus aerosols are easily suspended in the air. This is closely related to Chongqing's geographical environment. We cannot change the natural environment and can only wear masks when we go out to protect ourselves.
In addition, the houses in Chongqing are relatively poor in permeability, airtight and humid. Chongqing has a developed economy and a large population. The residential structure is different from other cities. Old high-rise buildings are densely populated. The houses have poor air permeability, airtight and humid, and viruses are easy to spread inside the corridors. Spread, even if a family has Yang, even if the community is closed and not allowed to enter and exit, it will quickly spread to the entire community, so even if you stay at home, don't neglect precautions, the virus is pervasive.
3) The COVID-19 virus is too cunning and constantly mutating
The virus is too cunning. After three years of continuous mutation, scientists are hard to guard against. In addition to invading the lungs, it will also attack all organs of the body, including the liver, kidneys, heart and even the brain. This is far beyond what experts have previously known about the virus. Even the blood-brain barrier cannot block the invasion of the COVID-19 virus. As the blood vessels roam throughout the body, it will cause a series of clinical symptoms, especially for special groups, such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and those with underlying diseases. If the population is re-infected with the COVID-19 virus, it will be even worse.
Summarize
At present, our anti-epidemic situation is at the most difficult moment in the past three years. Only by persisting can we win. While we are scientifically preventing the epidemic, we despise it strategically and pay attention to it tactically. There is no need to panic over the virus, because despite COVID-19 causing The consequences of the disease are very complex and full of randomness, but the proportion of patients who really suffer serious consequences is a small minority. Especially after people have a better understanding of COVID-19 and vaccines are widely available, the severe disease rate in developed countries and regions is less than 1%. That is to say, most of the infected people do not need to face the test of life and death, but just pass by after a few days of discomfort. Therefore, whether it is Chongqing, Guangzhou, or other regions, we must have the belief that we will win the fight against the epidemic!
