China News Agency, Shanghai, March 27 (Shenhai) "What are the specific methods to distinguish between new crown pneumonia and influenza?" "If the symptoms have not changed further after 14 days of isolation at home, can you judge that you are not infected with the new crown?" ... Shanghai New Crown Pneumonia Medical On the evening of the 26th, Beijing time, Professor Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the treatment expert team and the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, was invited by the Chinese Embassy in the United States to connect with students in the United States and overseas Chinese representatives via video live broadcast.
During the live broadcast, Zhang Wenhong provided professional and highly targeted answers to the general concerns about the development of the US epidemic, prevention and personal protection, testing and medical treatment, and whether the US medical system can cope with the crisis.
When answering the question of the Director of Psychology at Salt Lake City Huazhu Middle School and Professor Le Taowen of Weber State University in Utah, USA, "Why are there so many young people infected in the United States?" Zhang Wenhong bluntly, this is related to the most essential way of transmission of the new crown. Young people have a lot of social activities and don't wear masks, they have a great risk of infection. Why are more young people infected in the United States because there is a lot of close contact.
Zhang Wenhong said that wearing or not wearing a mask depends on the cultural habits and protection efficiency of various countries. People who do not wear masks can adjust their behaviors to achieve the same epidemic prevention effect. For example, when going to the supermarket, when there are few people, keep a distance of more than one meter, and two people do not talk to each other. There is almost no risk of infection under this probability. When paying at the supermarket, you can go to the automatic checkout machine to settle. Go to a Chinese supermarket, wear a mask inside, buy crazy, and wash your hands immediately when you go back. "As long as you do these things, it doesn't matter if you wear a mask or not."

Should foreign students return home now? In Zhang Wenhong's view, "Foreign students determine whether they should return to China. The basic principle is that you need to stay in the United States now. If medical insurance cannot cover the treatment of new coronary pneumonia and there is no priority in the United States, you can return to your country as appropriate. If There is something different in the United States. It is now a siege to the students: I want to go home outside, but if I go home for a long time, I find that I have delayed a lot of important things, and then I will start again. regret."
Zhang Wenhong introduced that the cabin is a place of high-risk virus infection, and there is a risk of transmitting the virus in the closed cabin. It is not necessary to wear protective glasses and protective clothing if the patient is not diagnosed by close contact. The most risky infection scenario is to wash your hands frequently before boarding.
"There are the most international students in the United States. You are the future of the motherland, the future of mankind, and the future of the United States. It is a particularly important group. Parents are also very worried." Zhang Wenhong said, regardless of whether you are willing or unwilling to fight the global epidemic It is a game of chess. I believe the world will control the epidemic together. (Finish)
