"I still have great confidence in ending the new crown pandemic by the end of this year." On the 15th, in a connection with Zhuang Shengchun, a reporter from CCTV News "The Theory of Relativity", director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases Medicine and director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University Zhang Wenhong said that, in principle, after the next year, whether it is the level of herd immunity, the immune barrier established by vaccines, and the launch of new crown treatment drugs, it means that "this may be the last 'cold winter'".
Whether it's Delta or Omicron, it's just that the virus has mutated.
Zhang Wenhong has said that if the new crown regroups with other coronaviruses, the situation may be worse.
In the connection, Zhang Wenhong further explained: "So far, this is an extremely low probability event. I believe that with the experience we have accumulated in the process of dealing with the new crown, no matter how the virus mutates in the future, we humans are still capable of dealing with it. ."
In the video connection, reporter Zhuang Shengchun also asked Zhang Wenhong a question from netizens: When a girl said that she was afraid that she would not be able to go home because of the epidemic this year, how should she comfort her and cheer her on?
"Tell her that this will be the last cold winter. Let's do our best. We believe in China and the world. With so many people working together, we will get through this cold winter, and next year's Spring Festival will not be so cold."
When asked about his New Year's resolution, Zhang Wenhong replied: "I hope every family can be reunited during the Spring Festival next year, and every couple in a long-distance relationship can embrace each other."
