[Explanation] For more than a month, Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, has "hidden" most of the time in the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, about 60 kilometers from the city center. . In this designated hospital in Shanghai where new coronal pneumonia is confirmed, Zhang Wenhong conducts rounds every day, carefully studies more than 300 confirmed cases, and has been exploring the "temper" of new coronavirus.
On February 28, a reporter from China News Agency interviewed Zhang Wenhong who took the time to return to the unit in Huashan Hospital. Outspoken "hard-core" experts in everyone's minds are warm and careful "Zhang Dad" in the eyes of colleagues, with iconic dark circles and blurted "golden sentences".
In the interview, when talking about the global spread of new coronary pneumonia, Zhang Wenhong bluntly said that it was very worrying.
[Contemporary] (Zhang Wenhong, Group Leader of Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and Director of Infectious Diseases Department of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University) The current answer sheet has been submitted. China is indeed likely to be controlled within 2 to 4 months, but we are equal to predicting Started, but no results were predicted. At first I thought China was in control, the world should be fine, right? Today (February 28), for the first time, the number of new cases worldwide has surpassed that of China, so we are also very worried. Now that China is in control, the world is now spreading. This is very worrying.
[Explanation] Zhang Wenhong believes that China's experience may not be suitable for other countries, and the strategies of other countries may not be applicable to China. However, Zhang Wenhong pointed out that the most essential things about infectious diseases, such as how to control the source of infection, how to cut off the transmission channels, and how to protect the susceptible population, are the same, and each country must formulate a suitable one according to its own national conditions. Prevention and control strategies.
[Contemporary] (Zhang Wenhong, Group Leader of Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and Director of Infection Department of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University) Everyone thinks (New Crown Virus) is terrible, yes, it is terrible, because you do n’t know the new virus. However, nearly one month later, 83% of my (Shanghai) patients have been discharged. According to its mathematical model, the best result is also 80,000 people infected, but now 337 (cases). I feel that as long as all people in the entire country can unite and take this matter as a very important thing, the "preventable and treatable" of this disease can be done.
[Explanation] Some netizens commented that the new crown virus was "very demon". Zhang Wenhong said that after clearing up his "temper", he would not think it was a "very demon" virus.
[Contemporary] (Zhang Wenhong, leader of Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and Director of Infection Department of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University) We think that such a virus is "demon" because we may not fully understand it yet. With the deepening of our understanding of this disease, we actually call this disease Coronavirus Disease 2019, and I think it is more than just pneumonia. Once you have your temper clear, you won't think it is a very "monster" virus, in fact a virus of the coronavirus family.
[Explanation] At present, many institutions or organizations are developing related vaccines and special-effect medicines. Zhang Wenhong stated that he did not master the first-hand materials, and it was difficult to judge when it would be really developed.
[Contemporaneous] (Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team Leader, Zhang Wenhong, Director of Infection Department, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University) Is there any medicine for "flu"? You all know there are drugs, right? Has the problem been solved? Did not solve the problem. So the prevention and control of infectious diseases is a systemic problem. I think it ’s too late for us to solve the epidemic in China with vaccines or drugs. However, is it useful for the next epidemic in other countries and regions in the world? It will be useful for the possible epidemic that China will face in the future. I think this is possible. In the short-term prevention and control of this disease, we still cannot hope too much that drugs and vaccines can bring us "miracles". We are still pinning our hopes on the strength of the Chinese people.
[Explanation] Zhang Wenhong mentioned in an interview that in fact, he encountered a traffic jam on the way to the city center while driving. In his opinion, this indicates that the city has begun economic recovery, but the economic recovery does not represent a reduction in epidemic prevention levels or a decrease in vigilance. In fact, Zhang Wenhong revealed that the screening of fever clinics in various hospitals is now tighter than in the previous paragraph.
[Contemporary] (Zhang Wenhong, leader of Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical Treatment Expert Team and Director of Infectious Diseases Department of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University) I wonder when Shanghai will get a real (prevention) level, including removing masks, which may be To see that basically all the people returning to Shanghai have come back to work, and in this case, we have not found any new patients in Shanghai. I guess this time is when we remove all the masks. point. So when is it? It is estimated that in the past few weeks, we may have to take a look first.
[Explanation] Zhang Wenhong said that Shanghai's prevention and control level is still very high, and it is not encouraged to have a very high degree of tightness. He emphasized that the prevention and control of the epidemic is not a matter for the government, it has something to do with each family, and everyone must be highly vigilant.
