It is too early to call COVID-19 the flu.
Although some patients in COVID-19 talk about their diseases as if they have the flu, COVID-19 and the flu are completely different. COVID-19's symptoms are fever and dry cough, but generally low fever; The symptoms of flu are headache and cough, and many people will have a high fever. Generally, COVID-19 is more contagious and deadly than influenza. Academician Zhong Nanshan mentioned that although the mortality rate has decreased, it will evolve in COVID-19, and it is still necessary to observe its natural evolution process. In addition, it depends on whether our prevention and control situation can be realized. It is too early to call COVID-19 the flu.
COVID-19's future is not impossible to coexist with mankind.
Although COVID-19 is very strong, it may gradually weaken in terms of fashion trends. The virus itself is not easy to survive and spread, although no vaccine can completely eliminate the virus. However, in the process of vaccination, COVID-19 will have less and less impact on human health. Although the virus is still raging, the mortality rate has gradually decreased. Zhong Nanshan believes that it is not impossible for this virus to coexist with human beings like influenza in the future.
We must insist on vaccination in the future.
Academician Zhong Nanshan also pointed out that with the active prevention and control of the epidemic in China, the number of new patients and the transmission rate dropped significantly. But if you want to prevent this virus, you still need to stick to vaccination. Because no one can guarantee that respiratory diseases will come back. The vaccine we injected is still effective in preventing COVID-19, and countries all over the world still actively advocate the use of vaccines for prevention. At present, fighting COVID-19 will not be as easy as fighting the flu. We mainly rely on vaccines.
