Interview with Academician Zhong Nanshan: China has not concealed the epidemic and we speak with facts

　　Recently, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor of respiratory medicine at Guangzhou Medical University, said in an interview with the CCTV reporter that some foreign politicians and media accused China of deliberately concealing the epidemic. The announcement is timely, open and transparent.

　　After the outbreak, 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan rushed to Wuhan as the leader of the national high-level expert group on medical and prevention and control, and on behalf of the expert group, he took the lead in giving a notification of the virus "certain human transmission."

Zhong Nanshan, a professor of respiratory medicine at the Guangzhou Medical University, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: The suggestion made to the central government at that time was that the research judgment should be an outbreak in Wuhan, China. This research judgment is very important. The central government later decided that Wuhan was an "epicenter", so outside of the "epicenter", large-scale group prevention and control activities were carried out. Then this practice has now been proven to be correct.

　　With early accurate research and judgment, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core made decisive decisions, mobilized national resources like never before, and always treats patients with new coronary pneumonia with the concept of people first and life first.

Zhong Nanshan , professor of respiratory medicine at Guangzhou Medical University, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: People first, life first. When explaining this process, President Xi said that we are equivalent to pressing the stop economic button first, and there will be a lot of effort and loss. We can make up for it, but we can’t make it back without human life. I think it is a great education for the whole country. We are also in accordance with this concept, we received all the most critical patients in Guangzhou, a total of 19 cases of the most critical. Well, some of them suffered a lot of bleeding, and one of them did extracorporeal membrane oxygenation usually called ECMO for 100 days, but it seems that there is no way to solve it is the mortal patient, we still try to rescue him like an embroidery come back.

　　At present, my country's epidemic prevention and control has achieved important results, and the prevalence and mortality of new coronary pneumonia have always been low. However, some American politicians and the media have repeatedly accused "China of deliberately concealing the epidemic" and used the epidemic to discredit and suppress my country.

Zhong Nanshan, a professor of respiratory medicine at the Guangzhou Medical University, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: I know that some people in the United States have such a display through CNN. If the per capita base is calculated in this way, the prevalence is the highest in the United States, and the mortality rate is also the highest. Many European countries are relatively high, but China is the lowest. Therefore their conclusion is that it is so low in China, so it must be (so-called) concealment.

　　In this regard, Zhong Nanshan said that the publication of relevant information on the epidemic situation in my country is timely, open and transparent. Wuhan City announced the results of the concentrated nucleic acid test on the 2nd. From 04:00 on May 14 to 24:00 on June 1, 9899828 people were detected. No confirmed cases were found. 300 asymptomatic infections were detected. No asymptomatic infections have been found The situation where the person infects others.

Zhong Nanshan, Professor of Respiratory Medicine at Guangzhou Medical University, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: This is in line with the previous report, so this article is further explained by the facts. It is true that we are so low, we have no concealment, and it is true. Foreign countries insult us for concealment, we don't need to explain it to us, we use facts to explain.

Academician Zhong Nanshan: China timely exchanges with the international community to share prevention and control experience

　　Zhong Nanshan believes that in the process of the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, China has actively carried out prevention and control, and on the other hand, it has also actively summed up its experience. He has personally shared dozens of international exchanges on the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. It is because we have summed up China's experience in time, and it has also been recognized by more and more countries.

Zhong Nanshan, Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the Guangzhou Medical University, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: Very different from when I was engaged in SARS 17 years ago. At that time, we were engaged in medical treatment, the summary of research, the guidance of the world or the development of the entire discipline. In general, not enough attention. But this time, our scientific and technical personnel and medical personnel in China are different. On the one hand, we are fully devoted to the rescue and treatment work. On the other hand, we are also very careful to summarize. As of May 10, the Natural Science Foundation of China has published 2,150 articles in the international authoritative magazine on the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia. How much does China account for? Our China is 650 articles, accounting for almost 1/3, this has never been in the past. I remember that President Xi once said that the paper should be written on the land of the motherland. I said that we are not only writing on the land of the motherland, but also on the earth.

　　Zhong Nanshan said that he is currently working with his team to accelerate the construction of a national respiratory medicine center, hoping to do more work in the future to solve difficult cases of the respiratory system, scientific research and international cooperation.

Zhong Nanshan, professor of respiratory medicine at Guangzhou Medical University, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: Now it seems that 70% of these years have been acute outbreaks of infectious diseases, all of which are respiratory diseases, and we should pay great attention to them. We have set up 22 projects, including questions about the molecular biological characteristics of new coronary pneumonia, including its transmission route, including its diagnosis and rapid diagnosis, and including its development of new drugs, these several These are all issues that we want to address, and we hope that we can cooperate with the relevant domestic departments concerned, so that everyone can work together and work together.
