Nearly 60% of confirmed cases self-administered cold medicine, many mysteries in Guangzhou's current epidemic remain to be solved


Since the first case was discovered on May 21, Guangzhou has immediately initiated all measures to comprehensively respond to the epidemic, with tracing, isolation, sub-regional control, national nucleic acid testing, and treatment being advanced step by step.
However, despite the “war epidemic” of the entire population in Guangzhou, under the influence of various objective factors, the number of confirmed cases is increasing day by day. As of the latest notification on the 13th, from May 21 to June 12 at 24:00, a total of 142 domestic infections were reported in the city in this round of the epidemic; among them, 135 were confirmed cases and 7 were asymptomatic infections.
So, are there loopholes in Guangzhou's epidemic prevention and control? According to official sources, the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Guangzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection have recently established a joint investigation team for epidemic prevention and control accountability to investigate the dereliction of duty in the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Guangzhou, and adhere to compliance with regulations. Discipline according to law, and severely hold accountable cadres and related responsible personnel who perform poorly or neglect their duties.
The answers to many of the puzzles in Guangzhou's current epidemic prevention and control have yet to be revealed by the official results of the final investigation.
Why is the number of confirmed cases in key populations still increasing?
On June 13, the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission announced the latest confirmed case information and trajectory: From 0:00 to 24:00 on June 12, 6 newly confirmed cases in Guangzhou were confirmed in the territory, of which 3 cases were found in close investigation and 3 cases were focused Crowd screening found.
The so-called key population during the epidemic is defined in the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan (Eighth Edition)": Key populations in low-risk areas.
Chen Bin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, said at a press conference on the 13th that at present, the city has initiated three rounds of large-scale nucleic acid screening for all employees. From May 21st to June 12th at 21:00, the city has a total of 36.023 million nucleic acid tests, and 43 cases of positive infections were found, mainly in key areas and key populations.
Carry out multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing in key areas, with the aim of detecting possible infections in the population as soon as possible and reducing the risk of community transmission.
Currently, the third round of nucleic acid screening in Guangzhou (from June 12 to 13), the testing scope mainly includes high- and medium-risk areas and areas where cases are located, involving 5 districts and 13 towns and streets. As of this round of investigation, as of 9 pm on the 12th, a total of 381,600 cases have been sampled, and no positive cases have been found.
In fact, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Guangzhou immediately controlled the risky areas. Not only did they conduct corresponding isolation and observations on close and close connections, but also carried out precise prevention and control of the affected areas. At the same time, they monitored confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections. The relevant residential and activity venues involved have undergone terminal disinfection, and the situation of the infected area is also part of the content in the daily announcement of the track in Guangzhou.
According to Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at a press conference on May 31, this round of viruses has the characteristics of short incubation period, high viral load, and rapid spread. The average incubation period is 2 to 4 days.
If the incubation period of the new coronavirus is calculated based on the incubation period of 2 to 4 days, the time of exposure to the virus for the confirmed cases that appeared on June 12 should be estimated to be from June 8 to June 10.
At present, the official has not given the specific trajectory of the confirmed cases on the 12th, nor can it infer the time of exposure. It is worth mentioning here that the incubation period varies from person to person and individual circumstances are not the same. Moreover, the current summary findings are derived from published information and a summary of most of the existing cases. At the same time, there may also be many objective conditions such as a long incubation period and the spread of asymptomatic infections, which have yet to be discovered by medical science.
But what must be vigilant is whether the transmission of the virus has been completely intercepted? After strict prevention and control, does the virus still spread in the form of objects or people?
What's the explanation for the "cold" path of nearly 60% of confirmed cases?
At a press conference on epidemic prevention and control held in Guangzhou on June 12, Yang Zhicong, director of the Guangzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, revealed that the recent flow of investigations found that more than 60% of the confirmed cases had fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, and hypoosmia. When I waited for the symptoms, I thought I had just caught a cold and did not seek medical treatment in time, which delayed the best treatment time and timely treatment.
The "nearly 60% of confirmed cases" mentioned by Yang Zhicong have not been fully announced. It is still unknown whether these confirmed cases were discovered after the onset of the disease or during the control period.
Because the Delta has a relatively short incubation period of 2 to 4 days, that is, the time from infection to onset is 2 to 4 days. In the case of high viral load, the close contact and close contact have a chance to expose the virus. , And get infected.
CBN has sorted out the trajectory of confirmed cases from May 21 to June 12, and conducted a preliminary summary of these known cases and found that among the 133 confirmed cases announced, among them, the confirmed cases found in the active investigation of key populations There are 39 cases, accounting for 29.3%, and the number of confirmed cases found in close contact or close contact accounts for 70.7%.
There are clear regulations on the prevention and control of the new crown for the close connection and the close connection.
On May 11, the State Council’s Comprehensive Unit for the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic issued the "New Coronavirus Pneumonia Prevention and Control Plan (Eighth Edition)", which stipulates that, based on the results of epidemiological investigations, public health professionals The personnel scientifically determine the close contact and the close contact, and transfer them to a centralized isolation place within 12 hours for isolation medical observation. Close contacts were taken for 14 days of centralized quarantine medical observation, and nucleic acid tests were performed on the 1, 4, 7 and 14 days of the quarantine medical observation.
Regulations on isolation management: reasonably select centralized isolation sites, set up and regulate management in accordance with the standards of "three zones and two passages" (living area, medical observation area and material guarantee supply area, staff passage and quarantine personnel passage), and strictly implement single Single room.
In fact, Guangzhou has also managed the close connection and isolation. The close contacts and sub-close contacts of new cases in Guangzhou are included in the centralized isolation medical observation.
From a theoretical point of view, according to the transmission chain of the virus, the close contact and sub-close contact were found on the day the case was discovered. When the potential virus such as close contact is exposed and then isolated, the chance of the second close transmission of the virus is not great, but However, five incubation periods of virus transmission were discovered in Guangzhou. At present, the official has not given a scientific explanation for such a long transmission chain.
For nearly 60% of confirmed cases of cold self-medication, among them, there is a high probability of close or close contact. Whether the cold occurred before isolation or after isolation will be the key information. Is there any cold after isolation and still self-medication?
At present, the official has not announced relevant information. However, in any case, the appearance of cold symptoms after isolation does not give the virus a chance to spread in society.
Why can a virus span 5 incubation periods?
From the prevention and control of multiple epidemics in Liaoning, Anhui, and Yunnan, it can be seen that the general epidemic will be controlled within 1 to 3 incubation periods. At the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Press Conference on June 11, Feng Zijian, a researcher at the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, once said that once a cluster of epidemics is discovered, the local party committee and government should quickly activate the emergency mechanism, quickly carry out circulation, and completely isolate the close contacts. , Carry out nucleic acid testing in time, and the epidemic will generally be effectively controlled within 1 to 3 incubation periods.
However, in Guangzhou, the transmission of the virus has reached 5 to 6 generations, and the incubation period experienced has already exceeded 3 or even reached 5 incubation periods.
China Business News found from the trajectory of confirmed case 6 announced on June 11 that it was a close contact of confirmed case 5 on June 8; confirmed case 5 was a close contact of confirmed case 4 (73 years old) on June 8 ; Confirmed case 4 is a close contact of the asymptomatic infected person transferred to the confirmed case on May 30; the 14 asymptomatic infected persons on May 30 were mostly close contacts on May 26.
It can be seen that the virus of the confirmed case on June 11 has crossed at least 5 incubation periods, and finally the confirmed case enters the hospital for treatment.
In the case of layer-by-layer management of close connection and close connection, why does the virus continue to pass down? Even passed the incubation period of 1~3?
Many questions have not yet been answered, and these answers may be related to the end of the Guangzhou epidemic.
However, after finding the source, it may be possible to deduce the end time of the Guangzhou epidemic. Feng Zijian said at the press conference, "Is the first lady the first case? How she was infected? We have some clues. We are investigating and verifying them in detail. When the results are available in the future, we We will find links and loopholes that may cause imported viruses to cause local infections. We need to make up to prevent similar transmission incidents from happening again in the future."
An expert on the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic believes that as long as the source is found and the path of transmission is cut off, it is expected that the epidemic can be ended within a week.

Expert: The increase in cases in Guangzhou does not mean that the escalation of the epidemic just means that large-scale screening is effective



China News Service, Guangzhou, June 10 (Cai Minjie, Cai Liangquan) From 0:00 to 24:00 on June 7, Guangdong Province reported 19 local confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia. Many people expressed doubts and concerns. In this regard, Lin Peng, chief scientist of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, interpreted this on the 10th.
Lin Peng explained that out of the 19 confirmed cases mentioned above, only 10 were new cases; the other 9 cases were confirmed cases from local asymptomatic infections, which were not in the scope of new infections. The 10 newly confirmed cases were all in Guangzhou, and they were discovered from close contacts and key populations. Among them, 4 cases were found in the nucleic acid investigation and 6 cases were found in the close contact investigation; 9 cases were in the closed area of Baihedong Street, Liwan District , 1 case in Dashi Street, Panyu District, was related to the previous infection on Baihedong Street.
There are 10 new cases a day, does it mean that the epidemic situation is more severe? Lin Peng believes that the 10 new cases in Guangzhou cannot represent an escalation of the epidemic, "it just shows that our regional control is scientific, and our large-scale nucleic acid screening is effective."
Lin Peng said that of the 10 new cases, 9 cases were in the closed area of Baihedong Street in Liwan District. The area was closed for management on May 31, and personnel did not leave their homes. This shows that the chances of people who are currently screened out for infection through the community are very small, and they should have been infected before or between families.
At present, nucleic acid testing is still a powerful means to quickly find people infected with new coronary pneumonia. The incubation period of the virus is long and short, and multiple rounds of screening are required to screen out those who have a long incubation period.
“Guangdong also implements epidemic prevention and control in accordance with this idea. Close the control area and carry out nucleic acid testing in accordance with the prevention and control requirements; for the confirmed cases in Dashi Street, Panyu District, we identified them as close contacts through circulation and immediately adopted strict measures. Nucleic acid testing was carried out for all employees in the area, and the infected persons were detected in time and the transmission chain was cut off.” Lin Peng said that at present, Guangzhou, Foshan and other people who really need to leave Guangzhou and leave the province will take nucleic acid testing. The negative test certificate has been adjusted from 72 hours to 48 hours. It is also hoped that through the encrypted nucleic acid test, the "fish that slipped through the net" can be detected in time to prevent the epidemic from spilling over.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic on May 21, Guangdong Province has gradually expanded the scope of nucleic acid testing based on actual conditions. Guangzhou and Foshan have implemented full-staff testing, and Shenzhen has carried out routine testing of quarantined personnel and screening and testing of key populations; on June 7, Guangdong Province The situation of epidemic prevention and control has initiated hierarchical nucleic acid testing in 10 prefecture-level cities, including Zhuhai and Zhongshan, and rapidly promoted large-scale population screening in the Pearl River Delta and key areas in the north, east and west of Guangdong.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic last year, Guangdong Province has continuously strengthened its nucleic acid testing capabilities. At present, Guangdong Province has 752 medical institutions capable of nucleic acid testing, with a maximum daily nucleic acid testing capacity of 2.85 million (single sampling and single tube). The province’s second-level and above general hospitals, infectious disease hospitals, and disease control centers have all Independent nucleic acid detection capability.
Lin Peng reminded that the current epidemic prevention and control is at a critical period, and there is no way to relax. The general public must attach great importance to personal protection, and do not take it lightly. Try to avoid unnecessary travel and reduce the spread of the epidemic across regions. As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Lin Peng encourages everyone to celebrate the festival on the spot. If you really need to leave the ear or leave the province, you need to hold a certificate of negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours to avoid crowds of people during peak periods. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the relevant anti-epidemic policies of the destination in advance and prepare for the response.

Seriously impressive that they have presumably managed to track the infected, even though they are showing no clear symptoms and the variant is horrendously contagious
The report refers to an R0 of over 4 as of May 30th even with disease control measures implemented, so the numbers now may be much different.

China's Guangzhou battles against a potent Covid-19 variant

Xiang Kai, Wang Jing and Han Wei
UPDATEDJUN 8, 2021, 9:42 PM

(CAIXIN GLOBAL) - Southern China's Guangzhou has imposed travel restrictions and stepped up mass coronavirus testing, as the giant metropolis battles a dangerous variant of Covid-19 in one of the most alarming flare-ups in the country since last summer.
...
The cluster, which has been traced to a woman from the city's Liwan district, marks the first community outbreak in China of a highly transmissible strain first detected in India.
...
"The variant has a shorter incubation period, faster transmission speed, and higher viral load, making the situation in Guangzhou completely different from the past," said Mr Zhang Zhoubin, deputy head of the Guangzhou Centre for Disease Control (CDC), at a news briefing last week.
...
The new variant is a stronger enemy. Contact tracing showed that some of the earliest cases in the Guangzhou outbreak had breakfast in the same restaurant. Some of the patients did not have direct contact with each other and sat apart in the room, an indication of the variant's highly contagious nature.
...
Dr Cai said that, compared with previous cases, the new variant shows a faster speed of transmission and stronger viral load.

According to Mr Zhang, the new variant's R0, which measures the number of people a sick person can infect, ranged between five and six when the outbreak started, compared with previous variants' R0 of two to three.

The variant's R0 dropped to 4.19 on May 30 as disease control steps were implemented, indicating the effectiveness of the measures, Mr Zhang said.

Dr Cai said the contagious power of the variant is alarming, noting that the only contact between Madam Guo and Ms Song was their presence in the same restaurant for breakfast, although they were several metres apart.

As the virus spreads, its viral load does not show a significant decline, indicating that the virus is much stronger than it was last year, Dr Cai said.

Many of the patients in the latest outbreak showed no clear symptoms or did not feel anything even though their lungs were already infected, he added.

That makes it even more difficult to detect the virus among the public, because the previous practice of screening potential patients based on body temperature is no longer useful, Dr Cai said.
