Compared with Europe and the United States, Asia is better at controlling the coronavirus outbreak. After the World Health Organization (WHO) announced on March 11 that the new coronavirus has entered a global pandemic, there has been an outbreak in Europe, and it has become the center of the world epidemic.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO, said at a regular press conference on the same day that 123 countries and regions have reported more than 132,000 new cases of confirmed coronavirus pneumonia to the WHO and more than 5,000 deaths. "This is A tragic node. "
He said that Europe has become the "epicenter" of a new pandemic coronavirus pneumonia, with more confirmed diagnoses and deaths than those in other countries and regions outside China, with more cases reported every day than at the peak of the epidemic in China.
Regarding the current epidemic situation, Professor Zhang Wenhong, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, stated that China has reached a dark moment, but now Europe has suddenly become a new epidemic center, bringing us huge uncertainty.
In the future, China still faces large import risks. According to the current global epidemic situation, it is almost impossible for this epidemic to end this summer.
Professor Zhang Wenhong said that it was thought that China was well controlled and the world would be synchronized. East Asian countries such as Singapore, Japan and South Korea did very well.
However, judging from the reality that countries are frankly accepting the widespread spread of the new coronavirus, the subsequent development of the new coronavirus epidemic will not be optimistic. Britain 's fight against the epidemic will become a pathogen-exporting country, bringing greater benefits to areas with less developed medical resources Threat.
The article said that now that Europe has suddenly become the new epicenter of the epidemic, it has brought us huge uncertainty. According to the current global epidemic situation, it is almost impossible for this epidemic to end this summer.
If the outbreaks in Italy and Iran continue to evolve in depth, the risk of new annual outbreaks of new coronaviruses will increase.
The article emphasizes that China is facing a huge risk of regulatory import in the next stage. Relying on China's strong public hospital network and China's CDC's rapid direct reporting system for known infectious diseases, China's "second pass over grassland" will surely succeed, but it may not end the battle in the short term.
