Compared with SARS virus, what is more serious in COVID-19?

Sars is more severe, appear? Super communicator? Many medical staff were infected. Pneumonia in novel coronavirus is mild and severe, but it hasn't appeared yet? Super communicator? Medical staff are less infected. Although novel coronavirus is more difficult to prevent and control than SARS, and the incubation period is contagious, the overall condition is lighter than SARS. Although there are many cases, most of them are mild. Ceng Guang, a senior expert group member of the National Health Commission and chief epidemiologist of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, thinks that novel coronavirus is better than SARS? Cunning? . It spreads rapidly in Wuhan community, because we still don't fully understand the source of infection, intermediate host, transmission route and therapeutic drugs of the virus. ?

The so-called hard to find is in the early stage of the disease, because the disease was discovered at first because our clinicians saw that some patients had different symptoms from ordinary viral pneumonia, so they raised their vigilance and gradually discovered the disease later. At this stage, it is difficult to find that the situation has improved relatively, and of course it has not been completely solved, because when the symptoms are obvious, such as the patient's fever and cough, the doctor will consider whether the patient has had contact with other patients or is from a place where there are patients, so the condition can be considered soon. The key is to find the pathogen, novel coronavirus, and now the reagent, which greatly shortens the diagnosis time. Of course, there are difficulties, that is, some patients have mild symptoms, may have a low fever or cough twice occasionally, but they are also contagious. There are still some people who have no symptoms themselves, but after infecting others, others are also infected, which brings difficulties to the discovery of diseases. ?

Novel coronavirus is difficult to treat because people infected with the virus will have different symptoms, some just have a fever or a slight cough, some will develop pneumonia, and some will be more serious or even die. The fatality rate of the virus is about 2% to 4%, but this is a very early percentage, and this percentage may change as more information is obtained.

At the same time, this does not mean that it is not serious, but that not everyone infected with the virus will face the most serious consequences. The common symptoms of people infected with coronavirus are respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and dyspnea. In more serious cases, infection can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, renal failure and even death.

At present, there is no specific treatment for diseases caused by novel coronavirus. However, many symptoms can be treated, so it should be treated according to the patient's clinical situation. In addition, auxiliary care for infected people may be very effective. This atypical pneumonia, then the mortality rate is relatively higher than this, and its transmission route is mainly respiratory transmission, novel coronavirus, so besides respiratory tract, there is also fecal route, so this is also more serious.

Transmission routes and susceptible populations are mainly spread by droplets of coughing or sneezing. In view of this mode of transmission, most cases are still related to direct contact, mainly in the process of close contact.

People of all ages may be infected, but the infection rate of children is relatively low, and the infected people are mainly adults, among whom the elderly and the weak seem to be more susceptible to infection. There is no evidence that pets such as cats and dogs will be infected.

What we know is that novel coronavirus is spreading very fast, so it is suggested to take preventive measures: go out as little as possible. When going out, you must wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, eat lightly, drink plenty of water, pay attention to rest and improve your immunity.
