On May 11, at a press conference on the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic in Shanghai, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission pointed out that according to the city and district two-level shelter adjustment plan, more than 6,000 national The medical staff of the Shanghai-aided medical team and the municipal hospital support team have once again enriched 7 municipal designated hospitals and 21 district designated hospitals, striving to reduce the severe disease rate and mortality rate.
Shanghai’s population is seriously aging, with 5,815,500 people aged 60 and above, accounting for 23.4%. Of the 567 reported deaths from the new crown infection so far (7 of which were before the current round of the epidemic), the vast majority of these deaths were elderly and patients with more underlying diseases. For example, in the 7 deaths announced on May 10, the average age was 87.3 years old, the youngest was 75 years old, and the oldest was 98 years old.
With the development of the epidemic, the number of patients with symptoms will increase in the future. Such patients cannot control their condition in the cabin and must be transferred to designated hospitals for treatment. The expansion of 6,000 medical staff to designated medical institutions is also based on this consideration, as far as possible to prevent symptomatic elderly patients from developing into severe disease, and prevent critically ill patients from developing into critical disease.
Regarding Omicron, the lay-flat faction always likes to exaggerate the epidemic prevention policies in Europe and the United States, thinking that people are completely liberalized, and there is not much harm, and the social order is in order. Saying such words is equivalent to Selective blindness. You know, on May 9, the Washington National Cathedral in the United States tolled 1,000 bells to express condolences to the 1 million deceased registered in the country who died of the new crown epidemic. One million people in the United States have died from the new crown, and more than 200,000 American children have become “epidemic orphans”. And the doubling of the death toll from 500,000 to 1 million comes nearly seven months into the Omicron pandemic. It can be seen that Omicron is not very harmful, and it is simply a fallacy.
Clearing the social dimension is the general policy of the country, and not giving up any life is the embodiment of the superiority of the socialist system. Expand a large number of medical staff to the designated hospitals for the new crown to treat patients with slightly severe symptoms, so that they can receive better treatment and care, improve symptoms in a short period of time, and relieve the condition. This “gate forward” treatment method will significantly reduce the occurrence of severe illness and mortality due to critical illness. For example, after the Luwan Branch of Ruijin Hospital was taken over by the third batch of medical teams from Hunan Province that aided Shanghai, the medical team adopted the strategy of “moving the gate forward” based on its rich experience in treatment, and expanded the treatment work outside the intensive care unit, not only treating ICU patients, but also treating patients in the ICU. It also took the initiative to screen all patients with new coronary pneumonia in the hospital in advance to detect patients who may develop into severe and critical diseases as soon as possible, so as to gain valuable treatment time for them. In the previous work, the step-by-step intensive care extension mode of “move the gate forward – advanced intensive care unit – intensive care” has greatly improved the ICU turnover rate, allowing more critically ill patients to receive effective treatment in a timely manner.
Some people say, are we investing too much in the new crown, there is more than one disease in the world. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of many people. The designated hospital for the new crown does not only treat the new crown, but ignores other diseases. On the contrary, the designated hospital pays more attention to multidisciplinary cooperation. In addition to the new crown, various other internal diseases can be treated. , emergency surgery can be carried out normally.
