(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Epidemic prevention experts: China needs to prepare "three major pieces" to fight the epidemic after winter

　　China News Service, Fuzhou, October 22 (Reporter Lin Chunyin) After autumn and winter, will the new crown pneumonia make a comeback?

Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated in Fuzhou on the 21st that thanks to effective prevention and control, China will not have an outbreak similar to the initial Wuhan situation for some time, or small-scale and sporadic cases may occur. epidemic.

　　The first Southeast Science and Technology Forum of Fujian Province hosted by Fujian Science and Technology Association and Chinese Preventive Medicine Association was held in Fuzhou on the 21st.

Wu Zunyou made the above remarks in a special report on the "New Crown Epidemic Situation and Prevention and Control Strategy" at the forum.

　　Although China's new crown pneumonia epidemic has been properly prevented and controlled, the virus has not disappeared and the global situation remains grim.

Many experts called on the forum that China’s anti-epidemic road still needs to be equipped with "three major pieces": deeper thinking on early warning mechanisms, vaccine prevention strategies, and talent reserves.

The early warning mechanism needs to be more sensitive

　　"At present, the source of the disease has not been found, and perhaps the virus recombination will reappear." Gao Fu, director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, pointed out that there are slight differences in the virus sequences in Qingdao, Dalian, and Beijing. The epidemic prevention measures are effective, "the whole country must immediately form a comprehensive early warning network."

　　Wu Zunyou said that the current health system's epidemic monitoring needs to be "more sensitive" to improve the prevention awareness of grassroots medical staff.

　　He said from Beijing’s successful disease control experience that not only people should seek medical attention as soon as they find fever and headache, but also grassroots medical staff and disease control personnel need to respond in place. “If Beijing’s new disease site is discovered three days later, the epidemic cases may exceed 1,000. Two weeks later, the number of cases may exceed 100,000."

　　Professor Liang Wannian, executive vice president and professor of Vanke School of Public Health and Health, Tsinghua University, believes that the current health system disease control and early warning network lacks dynamic autonomous incentives, and it is necessary to accelerate the integration of medical big data, integrate into the construction of medical consortia, and use information technology to explore Organize epidemic data to serve disease control situation research and judgment.

Vaccine strategy can win time for epidemic prevention

　　At present, China’s prevention and control measures include containment strategies, nucleic acid testing strategies, and vaccine strategies. The authorities encourage people to vaccinate against respiratory infectious diseases, such as pneumonia vaccine and influenza vaccine, to reduce the incidence of respiratory infectious diseases and prevent the running of medical resources.

　　The new crown pneumonia vaccine has attracted public attention.

Experts spoke at the forum and revealed that currently, 13 new coronary pneumonia vaccines in China have entered clinical trials, of which 4 vaccines have entered phase III clinical trials.

　　Gao Fu pointed out that with the current domestic epidemic under effective control, the existing vaccine has not yet reached the stage of mass vaccination for ordinary people.

　　"In China's current environment, ordinary people have a small chance of being infected with the virus, and they are not the priority group for the new crown pneumonia vaccine." Wu Zunyou said that the new crown pneumonia vaccine is given priority to prevent the first risk of the new crown pneumonia virus from being imported into China. "Residents" include customs, border ports, and medical and epidemic prevention personnel engaged in work related to the epidemic.

　　Wu Zunyou said that people who may cause higher mortality, such as the elderly and people with basic diseases, should also consider vaccinating new coronary pneumonia.

"If these two groups of people can be protected, the vaccine will basically meet our expectations for controlling the epidemic."

　　Wu Zunyou said frankly that although the long-term effect of the new crown pneumonia vaccine is uncertain, "even if it has a 6-month or 12-month protection effect, it is also very important to control the epidemic."

Strengthen high-level talent pool

　　Liang Wannian said that it should be examined that the current positioning of China’s CDC (disease prevention and control) intelligent functions does not fully meet actual requirements, and it is difficult to transform the system’s “digital language” into the government’s research and judgment basis. “The key problem is the lack of digital The talents of research and judgment."

　　"The combination of CDC prevention and treatment is an important national strategy, and medical education needs to be increased in the future." Liang Wannian pointed out that it is necessary to train a large number of disease control talents who are familiar with science and technology and can integrate local humanities, social and economic conditions, and provide "decent salary and good work" Space and social status retain talents".
