China News Service, Beijing, April 26 (Reporter Kan Feng) Shanghai, which is in a fierce battle with the epidemic, still affects people's hearts, especially the number of new deaths in Shanghai recently, which is worrying.
As of April 25, there have been 190 deaths from the outbreak in Shanghai, 259 severe patients and 28 critically ill patients being treated in designated medical institutions.
This set of data once again warns people: Omicron is by no means a "big flu", and we must not be careless and underestimate the enemy.
First, there are several characteristics of Shanghai deaths that cannot be ignored.
The average age of the death cases was over 82 years old, and 86% of the deaths were over 70 years old. The cause of death in the vast majority of cases was underlying diseases, and only 12 of the deaths had been vaccinated against the new crown.
The elderly, those with underlying diseases, and lack of vaccinations are the main features of death cases in Shanghai.
Second, the Shanghai war epidemic is also facing a new test of critical care.
Shanghai has a population of more than 25 million, with an aging rate of more than 36%, nearly 830,000 elderly people aged 80 and above, and the absolute number of patients with underlying diseases is huge.
Up to now, the vaccination rate of the elderly population aged 60 and above in Shanghai is 62%, and the booster vaccination rate is only 38%.
When the status quo of the increase in the number of elderly infected people is superimposed on the reality that the vaccination rate is low, it is now a new challenge to reduce the number of critically ill patients and the mortality rate.
The current Shanghai war epidemic is at a critical moment when the society is cleared. Although the epidemic is still running at a high level, there have been many positive signals.
Over the past few days, more than 10,000 people have been discharged from the hospital every day in Shanghai, the number of newly infected people in the society has gradually decreased, and the proportion of people found outside the closed-loop isolation control has gradually decreased.
The current war epidemic in Shanghai requires the concerted efforts of all parties and persistence.
Up to now, nearly 200,000 nucleic acid sampling personnel from other provinces and cities have supported Shanghai. In the past two days, we have also seen many "veterans" in the fight against the epidemic. Zhang Boli, a 74-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, rushed to the front line in Shanghai. "The Eight Immortals with Severe Severity", many have come to Shanghai to fight.
These days, we have been talking about the meaning of "dynamic clearing". The epidemic data in Shanghai and the full assistance of all parties may give us an intuitive understanding: the greatest significance of "dynamic clearing" is to control the epidemic with the fastest speed. Do your best to protect every life and never give up any one group.
