Academician Zhong Nanshan said it is not surprising that the mortality rate in high-cold regions has increased. Why did he say this?

I believe everyone is familiar with the new coronavirus. This virus can directly attack our lungs and prevent us from breathing normally. We also all know that the lungs are an important organ in our human body. It can be said that if the lungs are damaged, it will be difficult to survive. Academician Zhong Nanshan said that it is not surprising that the mortality rate in high-cold areas increases. So many people will have a question, why do you say this? Let me share my thoughts below!

What Academician Zhong Nanshan said is correct and justified. We also all believe in what he said because he played a big role in this epidemic. We all know that alpine areas have extremely high altitudes, thin oxygen, and relatively low air pressure. If you are in the plains, you will find altitude sickness when you reach the plateau. This is caused by our lack of oxygen. Oxygen is relatively thin in alpine areas, and we need oxygen to breathe. Therefore, patients in high-cold areas cannot breathe more oxygen and are more likely to be hypoxic, and the mortality rate will also increase. Fortunately, in this incident, there were not many confirmed cases in some plateau areas, which also reduced the burden on medical staff.

In alpine and cold areas, oxygen is thin and air pressure is low, creating a pressure difference with the atmospheric pressure in the body. In other words, if people cannot absorb enough oxygen, they will have altitude sickness, leading to dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms. It is very dangerous for pneumonia patients in high-cold areas. They cannot breathe normally. Coupled with the thin oxygen and low air pressure, breathing is even more difficult.

What Academician Zhong Nanshan said is correct, and the people also believe in what he said, and his predictions have been proven over time. During this epidemic, we would like to express our special thanks to Academician Zhong Nanshan and all the medical staff for their efforts in this epidemic. Of course, we also have to express our special thanks to our country.

During the epidemic, we should abide by local rules and regulations. So why do you think Academician Zhong Nanshan said this? Come and tell us your opinions in the comment area!
