An emergency broke out in Henan Province in central China. This is because a new corona19 confirmed patient has not occurred since the 26th of last month. On the 28th, one day, 44 out of 45 new Chinese corona19 confirmed people came from abroad, and the other was a 59-year-old woman named Wang Mo, who lives in Luohe City, Henan Province. As China's own outbreak is nearing the end, and Henan Province is preparing to start school because there are no new confirmers, much attention has been paid to how Mr. Wang was infected.

● 'Asymptomatic Infected Persons' and Holy Sepulcher · Meal

Mr. Wang had symptoms on the 24th. On the 26th, when I had a fever to 38.5 degrees, I visited the hospital and was confirmed on the 28th. On the 21st, three days before symptoms appeared, Wang traveled to Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, where he had a meal with the local people's hospital doctor, Dongchang Zhang Mo, three times.
However, as a result of the investigation by the health authorities in Henan Province, Dr. Zhang was a 'corona19 asymptomatic person.' In mid-March, Zhang ate with two fellow doctors, one of whom had been in the Hubei region and had sequestered himself for 14 days. Authorities say both Mr. Zhang and two of his doctors were 'asymptomatic infected' on the prosecutor's office, and urgently quarantined close contacts with them. Although we can't decide yet, Mr. Wang seems very likely to have been infected by the asymptomatic, Zhang.

Earlier, on the 26th, Luo Mo, a 25-year-old man from Jiaxing Province, was confirmed by Corona19. Mr. Luo flew from Beijing to Hangzhou on the 21st, and there was a 'symptomatic infection' from abroad.

● "Symptoms of asymptomatic disease are not confirmed."

In the case of Henan Province infection, Zhang and other doctors are not currently identified as confirmed. It is because the corona19 test is positive, but it is a 'asymptomatic person' without symptoms such as fever and cough. China's health authorities do not include asymptomatic cases in confirmatory statistics according to official treatment guidelines. We count separately, but do not publish. On the other hand, the World Health Organization (WHO), even if there are no symptoms, considers corona19 to be positive if it shows a positive response, and Korea also follows this standard.
The Hong Kong media South China Morning Post (SCMP) recently reported that as of the end of last month, as many as 43,000 people were asymptomatic in China, based on unofficial documents from the Chinese government. Currently, there are over 81,000 Chinese cumulative patients, so if you include asymptomatic infected people using the WHO standard, there will be at least 124,000 Chinese Corona19 patients. In addition, a joint research team between China and the United States analyzed diagnostic cases from December to last year, and up to 59% of infected people in Wuhan were treated as unidentified, including asymptomatic cases and very weak symptom patients who recovered without treatment. Revealed.

As there are not many countries that do not have the Corona19 test at all, asymptomatic people cannot be said to be wrong in China's confirmatory standards (although it is unknown whether there is any other purpose, such as reduction). However, the controversy will inevitably grow as there are constant doubts about the reliability of Chinese statistics. Then, health officials from Wuhan City said on the 24th, "WHO data shows that corona19 is mainly transmitted from symptomatic patients." Asymptomatic infected patients are intensively quarantined for 14 days and then examined again. To be released. " He also claimed that "a small number of asymptomatic infected people can be confirmed, but the vast majority are cured by themselves."

● Despite the controversy over asymptomatic infection, "The spread of Corona 19 in mainland China was blocked."

A spokeswoman for Mifeng, the National Health and Health Committee of China, declared at a press conference yesterday (29th) that "the spread of Corona 19 on the mainland has already been blocked by default". Although there have been cases of estimated transmission of asymptomatic infections in Henan Province, the recent statistics emphasized that there were few cases of self-determination in the mainland, and that the number of confirmed cases currently being treated in China fell to 3,000 with 269.

China's top respiratory disease authority, Zhongnan Mountain China Institute of Yarn, also said in an interview with the official media that "currently there are not many corona19 asymptomatic people in China." "If there are a lot of asymptomatic infected people, and if they are spreading the virus, the number of confirmed patients will increase, but it will continue to decrease," he said.
However, the yarn of Zhongnan Mountain stressed that the infectiousness of asymptomatic people should be vigilant. "It is because there is a large amount of virus present in the upper respiratory tract (nose, tonsil, pharynx, larynx, and upper respiratory tract) of asymptomatic infected people, and one person can spread the virus to 3 to 3.5 people," said Jung. This is very different from the explanation of the Wuhan health authorities mentioned earlier. In addition, Jang Won-hong, chief of the epidemic at the Volcanic Hospital attached to Fudan University, said, "Asymptomatic infected people have relatively high immunity and do not develop within 14 days after being infected. Viruses may be present in the body for more than 3 weeks." . It is also read in the same context that Prime Minister Li Keqiang ordered to find all new, suspicious, and asymptomatic infected people by the Wuhan health authorities to dig deeper into society.
Chinese, who want to recover their daily lives as quickly as possible, are worried about the possibility of spreading asymptomatic infections. In social media such as Weibo, it is also said that "must change the standard for confirmation", "Isn't it hidden for 'new mainland occurrence 0'?" This anxiety is also seen as a discrimination against residents of Hubei Province, where Corona 19 is from. Residents of Hubei Province, except Wuhan City, were freed to move after the blockade was released on the 25th. However, in some cities, some residents of Hubei Province are denied access. On the 26th, as police in Jiangxi Province, adjacent to Hubei Province, blocked traffic, residents of Hubei Province fought wildly and collided with the police. It was controversial when a photo of a toilet that was previously written as 'Hubei Only' was posted on SNS on a highway rest area.
Some point out that it is a time bomb hidden by asymptomatic infected people in China, but the Chinese government is emphasizing that the detonator of the bomb has already been removed due to the two-month blockade of Hubei, national control measures, and the blockade of high-influence overseas. However, it has not completely subdued the anxiety of the Chinese people. The self-explanatory aspect seems large due to the concealment of information in the early stages of the outbreak and frequent changes in statistical standards. There are observations that the Chinese government will hold the "Bilaterals", China's largest political event next month, to declare victory in the Corona 19 war. If you are confident about the current situation, it seems necessary to transparently reveal the statistics and management status of asymptomatic infected people at home and abroad, even if you do not change the standard of diagnosis.
