COVID-19 | Epidemic characteristics of the new coronavirus

The epidemic characteristics of the new coronavirus include the following aspects: 1. The source of infection, mainly patients with new coronavirus infection and asymptomatic infection, is infectious during the incubation period, and the infection is relatively strong within five days after the onset. 2. The route of transmission. Spread through respiratory droplets and close contact are the main routes of transmission. Also, contact with virus-contaminated items can cause infection. When staying in a relatively closed environment for a long time and exposed to high concentrations of aerosols, there is also the possibility of aerosol transmission. Since the new coronavirus also exists in feces, urine, and another excrement, if these excrements pollute the environment, it will also cause contact transmission or aerosol transmission. 3. Susceptible population, the population is generally susceptible, after infection or vaccination, a certain degree of immunity can be obtained, but the cu

COVID-19 | What are the hazards of the new coronavirus?

The new coronavirus is the pathogen that caused the 2019 new coronavirus pneumonia. It will continue to spread in 2021. The new type of coronavirus pneumonia mainly affects the patient's respiratory tract and may cause serious damage to the patient's respiratory tract, leading to respiratory failure and death. The latest autopsy report found that the lungs of patients with new coronavirus pneumonia showed different degrees of consolidation, and the spleen was significantly reduced, which can also cause degeneration and necrosis of the heart and blood vessels. It can cause degeneration of liver cells, increase the size of the liver, and can also cause damage to the kidney parenchyma and interstitium, and even cause congestion and edema of the brain tissue. Critical cases cause multiple organ failure, leading to death.

COVID-19 | How long is the incubation period of the new crown

  According to the current clinical observation results, the incubation period of the new coronavirus is 1 to 14 days, most of which are 3 to 7 days, and individual cases have been reported for 24 days because this virus is also highly infectious during the incubation period, so It is said that under normal circumstances it is necessary to isolate for more than 14 days, but whether there is the possibility of a longer incubation period, it still needs further observation.  Therefore, isolation is the best way.  Most patients do not get sick within 14 days of isolation.   There will be no disease.

COVID-19 | Symptoms of COVID-19

The symptoms of new coronavirus pneumonia mainly include fever, dry cough, and fatigue. Severely ill patients, often have a respiratory failure within 5 to 7 days. Patients with new coronavirus pneumonia may also experience other symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, headache, muscle aches, and other related conditions. Some patients may also be accompanied by diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, and some patients may have the performance of conjunctivitis. The clinical manifestations of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia vary greatly among individuals, and careful identification is needed. In particular, attention should be paid to whether patients have an epidemiological history related to novel coronavirus pneumonia.
