Zhan Qingyuan, a national clinical supervising expert on new coronavirus pneumonia and director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said at the conference that it is a normal phenomenon for older people to get pneumonia because of their weaker systems. This outbreak of elderly people also appeared to be more popular phenomenon - susceptible and easy to weight. Doctors give elderly friends and families some advice:
First, family members should pay attention to the daily life of the elderly, keep communication open, always have a thermometer and mask. Since the resistance of the elderly is weaker, it is important to take the temperature in the morning and evening, and to greet them by phone from time to time. Be sure to ask him about his diet, sleep, and mental condition, because the onset of the disease in the elderly is not quite the same as the onset of the disease in normal people. The elderly morbidity is mainly manifested in the changes of daily life state, which we should pay great attention to.
