The number of infected and latent patients in Wuhan is still rising, but the overall situation has improved. There was a similar SARS outbreak back in 2003, which was caused by people eating wildlife, and after these two outbreaks we should also reflect on protecting wildlife. The good thing is that compared with SARS, although the new crown pneumonia is highly contagious, but the mortality rate is not high, most patients can be treated for the condition of the disease, of course, there are also a lot of deaths, but why the deaths of cases of middle-aged and elderly people?
One, the elderly resistance is low
The resistance of the elderly and young people compared to very low, the immune system by the attack of the virus most of the resistance, so the elderly infected a lot. And the elderly like to gather groups of square dancing, playing mahjong, chatting and so on, so there will be the phenomenon of the elderly infected elderly. So the elderly must be at home to avoid the epidemic do not gather groups, go out with a good mask, but also to exercise properly to enhance their immunity.
Two, many of the elderly originally had a disease
People in old age itself low immunity, many of the young when the bad habits also come to the door, many of the elderly will suffer from? The first thing you need to do is to get rid of all the old age diseases. , such as high blood pressure, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and so on. If they are infected with C.pneumonia and their own illnesses, the risk of death increases and it is difficult for healthcare professionals to treat them. Many older people end up dying because of their own illnesses, and the virus is only a contributing factor.
Three, the recovery ability is not strong
After the infection of the new crown pneumonia, many young people can be through their own immune system plus health care workers to restore health, but the elderly this recovery ability is not strong, which increases the risk of death. Because of these various factors, most of the deaths are among the elderly, but we are all working hard to fight the epidemic, and we will give moral support to our elderly patients, and as long as the willpower is strong the virus is nothing, and we will definitely overcome the epidemic!
