In response to the current epidemic situation, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, said on April 9: As an expert of the medical treatment expert group, in this wave of epidemics, I am particularly concerned about the protection of vulnerable groups.
During the daily joint online ward rounds across the city, the experts of our expert group and various isolation and treatment points have repeatedly focused on the protection of vulnerable groups.
The elderly who have underlying diseases and have not been vaccinated are always the most vulnerable group in the epidemic.
An important indicator for evaluating whether a country is doing well in epidemic prevention and control is whether it protects vulnerable groups.
Zhang Wenhong said that the dynamic clearing policy and the strategy of encouraging vaccination to strengthen vaccination are both the state attaches great importance to and strengthens the protection of vulnerable groups.
He believes that with the vaccine barrier established in the early stage, the effect is obvious at present. This time in Shanghai, everyone has paid attention to the extremely low seriousness rate, which can be said to have a lot to do with this. Young people who have been vaccinated are rarely Severe disease will occur.
However, vulnerable groups, especially the elderly who have underlying diseases and have not been vaccinated, still face greater risks.
Global data shows that the elderly who have not completed the vaccination are the most vulnerable groups in the epidemic, and we still cannot take it lightly.
This is what I emphasized before, Omicron is not a big flu, it will bite people, mainly the elderly who have not been vaccinated.
At this stage, our country has achieved a good protection for the most vulnerable groups in the epidemic through the implementation of the dynamic clearing strategy and the hope that every elderly person will be vaccinated and boosted.
Zhang Wenhong further stated that our task now is to curb the continued spread of the current wave of the epidemic as soon as possible, to achieve social zero, and to quickly return to normal life and economy in Shanghai.
The characteristics of the mutant strain of Omicron have been significantly changed from the original new coronavirus. The severe rate and fatality rate have dropped significantly, but the transmission rate and infection rate have increased significantly.
It can be said that this is the opposite.
In order to completely get rid of the harm caused by the new crown virus to human beings, the world is trying to establish a future-oriented anti-epidemic model.
In the first stage of the fight against the epidemic, China has made remarkable achievements, not only maintaining the country's openness, but also maintaining the lowest infection rate and fatality rate. This is a very remarkable achievement and won the hearts of the people.
Now, with the invasion of the Omicron variant, the second stage of anti-epidemic is coming, because it has a large amount of asymptomatic, strong concealment, and the battle of zero is more difficult to fight.
We will certainly continue to explore scientific ways to maintain a low infection rate and fatality rate in the fight against the epidemic.
In the future, the pressure of anti-epidemic will still exist. We need to continuously improve the capacity of our medical system. A medical system that is fully prepared for the sharp rise in new crown cases and has sufficient reserves of medical resources cannot be unprepared in the face of the impact of the future epidemic. battle.
"This wave of Omicron attacks came very quickly and violently, and it had an impact on the medical system, especially the normal medical order. Realizing the dynamic clearing as soon as possible will help restore the normal medical order as soon as possible, allowing All kinds of patients, especially critically ill patients, can receive good medical care. Under the impact of this epidemic, the medical treatment force in Shanghai has stepped up efforts to strengthen the quality of medical treatment, promote homogeneous and standardized treatment, and implement classified treatment." He further introduced, The new crown treatment ward of Huashan Hospital is currently in charge of the technical responsibility of our department, Professor Zhang Jiming. They strive to have different specialists in charge of different treatment groups, and conduct specialist classification and stratification for the treatment of patients with various basic diseases combined with new crown infection; Ruijin Hospital A multidisciplinary treatment team has also been formed to conduct group rounds for patients with severe symptoms in the new crown ward every day.
These experiences still need to be continuously explored to improve the ability and effect of classifying and treating people infected with the new crown.
He believes that in the process of this wave of dynamic clearing, the greater revelation to us is that we should be more fully prepared for the next stage of anti-epidemic, and we should strengthen the vaccination of the elderly, drug reserves, and nucleic acid testing. More active construction of capacity, construction of isolation wards, hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, etc.
If we do not build a strong anti-epidemic system, even if we achieve a social zero this time, we will still face one or another problem tomorrow.
Zhang Wenhong emphasized that in the practice of Shanghai dynamic clearing, medical treatment is only a small part of the entire dynamic clearing system.
As a clinical treatment expert, I call on everyone not only to pay attention to the protection of vulnerable patients, but also to pay attention to the systematic construction of dynamic clearing.
Under the impact of the epidemic, we have to have a big puzzle to fight against Omikron, which contains the basic needs of our people and the entire society under the epidemic.
If we get all the pieces of this puzzle in place, fill them in with precision, and don't miss a single piece, we can win this game.
This wave of Omicron came suddenly, with strong concealment and rapid spread, and caused a great impact on society. We Shanghai citizens have also endured a lot of pressure and difficulties.
In order to achieve dynamic clearing, put together this "big picture", and relieve everyone's pressure and difficulties, it must require a lot of social forces to participate together.
We prepared a table of dishes and two tables of guests came, what should we do at this time?
We have institutional advantages, aid from all sides, and state support is an indispensable core force, but we also need all levels of society. Now Shanghai has mobilized every administrative cadre and party member to complete this arduous task together with all citizens , to complete the puzzle of this dynamic clearing war. In the past few days, the power of the market is also being released, the courier brother has come out, and the e-commerce platform is also recovering.
While this battle is dynamically cleared, it is also necessary to ensure the "medical" food, housing and transportation of the common people.
Only by exerting all social resources and strengths can we strive to ensure the "medical" food, housing and transportation of the people and win this battle.
Finally, Zhang Wenhong said that the "anti-epidemic spirit" has been recorded in the history books. With the victory of the anti-epidemic, the anti-epidemic experience we have experienced will also become a history worth remembering. "People's pursuit of a better life" should be part of our all The goal of the unremitting struggle of strength.
