1, about improving the cure rate, Zhong Nanshan said:
With good clinical treatment, life support and nutritional support, the symptoms of about 85% severe patients can be significantly improved, and the virus content of some severe patients has been greatly reduced after seven or eight days of treatment.
2. Regarding the mortality rate of infection, Zhong Nanshan said:
By February 29th, 2020, the fatality rate in COVID-19 was about 2.5%, and there were three coronavirus outbreaks in human beings, from SARS to MERS to 20 19-nCoV this time, among which the fatality rate in COVID-19 was relatively low. Because of the high infection rate of "coronavirus", people will pay more attention to it in the future.
3, about epidemic prevention, Zhong Nanshan said:
In addition to improving the cure rate of severe patients, Zhong Nanshan believes that reducing hospital infection rate is also the focus of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19. He said that the problem of hospital infection has been solved a lot now, and few medical staff are infected. Early hospitals became places of mutual infection because of inadequate protection. More than 1.700 cases were confirmed by medical staff in China, many of which occurred in hospitals in Wuhan.
4, about the mode of transmission, Zhong Nanshan said:
"It is extremely important to keep the sewer open!" Zhong Nanshan reminded that in 2003, there was a building in Hong Kong, and residents on the upper and lower floors became sick one after another. He said that we should learn from the lessons of sweeping the big garden during SARS, when more than 200 people got sick and more than 20 died.
Zhong Nanshan further explained that after the feces dried up, the wind would blow the virus in the feces to different places, so we should pay attention to this problem and prevent COVID-19. Zhong Nanshan's team has cultivated a live virus of novel coronavirus from feces, which, he said, does not necessarily mean transmission through the digestive tract.
5, about false negative, Zhong Nanshan said:
There is a "false negative" problem in virus nucleic acid detection. Zhong Nanshan believes that regular nucleic acid testing is definitely accurate. Some people say that the accuracy rate is 30% to 50%. If so, it would be really confusing. The vast majority of nucleic acid detection sampling is nasopharyngeal sampling, and the method is correct and sampling is also very important. He called for confidence in the results of nucleic acid testing. If the medical staff samples correctly, the results of nucleic acid detection will definitely be accurate.
People's Health Network-Zhong Nanshan made several important judgments on the current epidemic situation.
