Die zweite Epidemiewelle kommt zurück? Wu Zunyou: China wird nicht explodieren

According to China News Weekly, now that autumn and winter are coming, domestic people are beginning to worry about the second wave of COVID-19 epidemic. Diesbezüglich, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the possibility of a local outbreak in China is very small, and the most serious is that hundreds of people are infected. You don’t have to worry too much, but it is worth noting that the global epidemic is very pessimistic now, and we can’t relax our vigilance. If we let go, there will be 7 million people infected in China, 200,000.

As of October 23rd, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 pneumonia in the world has exceeded 41 Million. According to the Washington Post analysis, es gab 82,600 new confirmed cases in the United States on October 23rd, exceeding the previous record. Jerome Adams, the medical director of the US government, warned that „this week, we may have the highest number of new cases in a single day in history.“ Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, said that the world is still in the „darkest moment“, das ist, „there are no highest cases every day, only higher new cases“.

The global epidemic is so serious that autumn and winter are coming again, and people in China are beginning to worry about the second wave of epidemic. In the high season of respiratory infectious diseases, will there be a local outbreak of COVID-19 in China, and how large will it be? Will it be more serious than the epidemics in Beijing, Xinjiang and Dalian in the past few months, and will it reach the severity of the beginning of the year? Diesbezüglich, Wu Zunyou said that it is true that the global epidemic is very serious now, and our country is mainly under global pressure. If China is released, all previous efforts will be wasted. „We can make a calculation according to the proportion of our country’s population in the world and the current COVID-19 infection rate and mortality rate in the world. If we let go, 7 million people will be infected and 200,000 people will die in China, which is a great price and cannot be accepted.“

Wu Zunyou said that the Qingdao epidemic had just started, especially when the first case was diagnosed, he was still very nervous. „After the outbreak was discovered, Qingdao responded very quickly. A large-scale nucleic acid test was carried out for patients‘ close contacts and medical staff, and all the infected people were found to be in the early stage of infection. I am very pleased.“
