At present, the province's epidemic prevention and control has entered the most strenuous period, and the epidemic situation is still severe. In order to effectively cut off the source of infection, block the route of transmission, and curb the spread of the epidemic, according to the "Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China" " Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Management Punishments, Emergency Regulations on Public Health Emergencies, and the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial People's Congress to provide powerful support for winning the fight against new-type coronavirus pneumonia epidemic prevention and control Relevant laws and regulations, such as the Decision on the Protection of the Rule of Law, are hereby notified of matters related to further strengthening the prevention and control of the epidemic situation as follows:

1. Strengthen the responsibility for territorial control and prevention. All cities (states, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and Shennongjia Forest District), counties (cities, districts), and towns (streets) should further tighten up their compaction responsibilities, coordinate and integrate forces, and strengthen community (village) joint defense and group control. Communities (villages) need to improve linkage mechanisms such as on-site visits, personnel verification, and community management in accordance with actual conditions.

2. Strengthen the closed management of urban and rural communities (villages). All village groups, communities, communities, and residential areas in urban and rural areas implement the most stringent closed-loop management for 24 hours. Strictly control external vehicles, do not enter or exit; Strictly control external people, do not enter inside; Strictly control outdoor exits, centralized procurement and distribution of drugs and essential daily necessities; Strictly manage stores, regulate body temperature detection, and control Traffic flow; strict control of illegal acts, and those who do not comply with relevant provisions of major public health emergency level I response, take compulsory measures according to law.

3. Strengthen vehicle traffic control. Comprehensively strengthen the traffic control in each city (prefectures, municipalities under direct management, and Shennongjia Forest District), and adopt temporary traffic control measures to reduce motor vehicle travel. Except for epidemic-resistant vehicles, official vehicles, public transportation, medical personnel's vehicles, transportation of daily necessities vehicles, and special vehicles such as ambulance, fire fighting, emergency, sanitation, and police vehicles, all vehicles are prohibited from passing.

Fourth, strengthen the management of key areas. All non-essential public places will be closed and all mass gathering activities will cease. Supermarkets, pharmacies and other places must be open. Reasonably arrange business hours, strictly control the flow of people, and conduct personnel diversion and temperature detection. Implement a retail pharmacy drug registration system. Persons who purchase cold medicine, fever cough medicine, antipyretics, and other medicines must truthfully fill in information such as name, contact information, ID number, address, and temperature. The information must be fully entered into the computer system to purchase. To strengthen risk management and control. For communities (villages), communities, residential areas, buildings, and workplaces with confirmed (including clinical diagnosis) cases of new coronary pneumonia, 14-day closed hard isolation is resolutely implemented.

Fifth, strengthen the comprehensive investigation of residents' health. A dynamic rolling screening of all residents was carried out to ensure that “one household is not missed, one person is not dropped, and one day is continued” to ensure full coverage and no blind spots. To strengthen the epidemiological investigation of "four types of personnel", the units and individuals involved must cooperate unconditionally in accordance with the law, not conceal the medical history, close contact history, or escape from isolation medical observation. If they refuse to cooperate, the public security organ shall take compulsory measures according to law. Residents who have symptoms such as fever and cough must report to the community (village) as soon as possible. The community (village) carefully checked the health information reported by the fever patients, and the confirmed fever patients were transferred to the fever clinic nearby.

6. Strengthen management and services for key populations. All close contacts of suspected and confirmed (including clinical diagnosis) cases of new coronary pneumonia and fever patients who cannot be explicitly ruled out of new coronary pneumonia must be sent to a single isolation room for observation at a centralized isolation point, and not for observation at home. Townships (streets) should set up special working classes to do a good job in medical treatment, living services, health management, psychological counseling, and humanistic care for the isolated personnel. It is necessary to strengthen police forces, maintain order of diagnosis and treatment, and prevent secondary incidents. Where the "quarantine personnel" cannot be treated and isolated in time due to the inadequate construction of the isolation point and the inadequate raising of beds, the secondary incidents caused by the inadequate safeguards such as medical staff, living materials, and safety protection at the isolation point, Treat them all seriously. The community (village) should strengthen the care for the old, the young, the weak, and the family members of the medical staff, and provide good service guarantee.

Seventh, strengthen the guarantee of residents' necessities. All localities should adapt to local conditions and adopt various methods flexibly to ensure the supply of necessary materials for the people's lives after the implementation of closed management. It is necessary to expand community distribution services, vigorously develop e-commerce, strengthen supply and marketing docking guarantees, carry out "e-commerce + chain distribution", implement contactless distribution services, promote community group (village group) online group purchases, and purchase documents at wrong peaks.

8. Strengthen the protection of medical protective materials. All products of key medical and nursing material production enterprises in the province are uniformly deployed by the provincial people's government. We will give full support to key medical and nursing material production enterprises to expand production capacity, and support qualified enterprises for technological transformation and production conversion. Strengthen the protection of medical supplies for front-line staff of epidemic prevention and control.

Nine, strengthen environmental sanitation management. Implement the environmental disinfection system, and regularly ventilate and preventive disinfection of key places. Domestic garbage and medical waste in all communities (villages), hospitals, and isolation points must be collected and disposed of separately to ensure that Nissan and Nissan are cleared.

X. Strengthen the unit's main responsibility. An enterprise resumption and resumption reporting system is implemented, and no resumption of resumption of production is allowed without the approval of the county (city, district) epidemic prevention and control headquarters. Enterprises that have been approved to resume work and resume production shall fully implement epidemic prevention and control measures. Offices, parks, buildings, and resumption of production in enterprises and institutions should strengthen their body temperature monitoring, carefully screen fever personnel, and report any abnormalities in a timely manner.

11. Strengthen the work responsibilities of party members and cadres in sinking communities (villages). Party members of government agencies and institutions must sink to village groups and communities to participate in epidemic prevention and control, and accept the management and dispatch of towns (streets). Those who do not take the initiative to report or disobey the deployment shall be dealt with resolutely and seriously, and the principal responsible person of the unit shall be held accountable. Each unit shall manage its own personnel and optimistic about its own door, establish a list of the sinking of the village team and community of party members and cadres of its own unit, and report to the epidemic prevention and control headquarters at all levels for the record.

Twelve, strengthen personal legal responsibility. All residents must consciously abide by the regulations for epidemic prevention and control. Strictly abide by the rules of wearing masks in public places, do not go out if not necessary, do not participate in parties and group activities. For those who violate the level I response control measures for major public health emergencies and hinder the epidemic prevention and control work, the public security organs shall take compulsory measures according to law.

13. Strengthen the demonstration drive. All party members and cadres, deputies to the people's congresses at all levels, and members of the CPPCC National Committee must play a leading role in driving family and relatives and neighbours to consciously abide by various regulations for epidemic prevention and control. All party members, cadres and residents must obey unified leadership and dispatch, and actively participate in epidemic prevention work.

14. Strengthen work discipline. For those who do not take responsibility, inaction, or slow action in the prevention and control work, for those who have lost control of the fighter planes, who have violated the law, and who have responded negatively, for those who have spread the epidemic due to inadequate closed management and inadequate prevention and control measures, they have not obeyed unified dispatch and affected the epidemic All control measures will be implemented promptly and severely. If it has caused serious consequences, accountability shall be implemented to "upgrade".

15. Strengthen supervision of complaints. All localities must publicize the local epidemic prevention and control service hotline and online service window, accept public consultation, complaints, reports, and ask for help, respond to appeals in a timely manner, and feedback the results. Issued a report reward policy, the masses can use the "12345" hotline, the Ehui Office APP epidemic prevention and control area, and other channels to report on fever patients in a timely manner, "four types of personnel" inadequate implementation of isolation and treatment, outbreak prevention and control measures Make a report.

It is hoped that the broad masses of the people will continue to understand and cooperate, actively participate in the prevention and control of the epidemic, support front-line personnel to carry out their work, watch and help each other, work together to overcome difficulties, and resolutely win the province's epidemic prevention and control of the people's war, general war, and obstruction.

There has been a striking shift in the Chinese news reporting.
Whereas Xi was essentially absent from the front page of Xinhua for the first two weeks of February, he is today featured in all 4 lead articles.
Separately, Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted the third straight day of decline in new cases and claimed the outbreak was being managed effectively.

It may be that the Chinese leadership is in fact now confident that they have turned the corner. Of course, if they are mistaken, they will bear the blame as well.
Still, this is an unusual note of optimism.

Still, this is an unusual note of optimism.

It is all propaganda. They stated that 2 of their top 5 goals in this outbreak was to manage society and manage the message. I read this as Xi realizes this situation is a threat to his dictatorship and he is getting "out there" to give the appearance that everything is fine. This is not my political opinion. I have no political opinion about China. I have am not knowledgeable about their politics except I know that Xi is the president and chairman of their one party system. I have seem many, many government announcements about how well they are handling a particular disease event and it usually means there is a problem. I especially like the denials. I try to post all of those. Very informative.

I think, generally, we have almost no idea what is going on there. We are collecting data points in an effort to try to understand the situation.

They will be unable to tell what is happening behind those doors they have welded shut! https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3874495

 

[etudiant]

Agree entirely, this is all very much propaganda.
That said, the reemergence of Xi after a two week eclipse suggests that the current efforts are their best shot. Xi is sure to be blamed in any case if it fails, so taking ownership now is smart.
That way, he also gets the credit if the draconian lock down restrictions work.
The evolution of the outbreak over the next couple of weeks will determine that outcome.

Guangdong epidemiological experts Holmes cracked the epidemic of the epidemic—why were they infected?

Correspondents from Jinyang Net Fu Chang Tan Ye Feng Xixi Correspondent Sui Jianxuan

Haven't been to Wuhan, why is it infected with the new crown virus? In a residential building, why are there multiple confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia?

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Guangdong epidemiological experts have been fighting the forefront of fighting the epidemic. It is like a "swordman" on the battlefield of anti-epidemic. Using scientific analysis and meticulous "surveillance" methods, the nearest Localities searched for clues related to the virus, "digging" the truth out of the cocoon, struggling for more time for epidemic prevention and control, and preventing the epidemic from spreading to the maximum extent possible.

So how did they find the "truth"?

A How do you get sick if you do n’t know each other?

In a jurisdiction, there are two strange families who have never met. All members of the family have not recently traveled far away, and have not contacted the people in the affected area. They were all diagnosed with new crown pneumonia. What exactly is going on? Recently, two local cases in Guangzhou have drawn great attention from the staff of the CDC.

One night in early February, a disease control center in a district of Guangzhou received a specimen of a case submitted from a large three-level hospital. After testing, the case specimen was positive for a new type of coronavirus. Disease control experts conduct epidemiological investigations to confirm the source of the infection.

The confirmed patient Ms. A is a native of Guangzhou. She said that she had not lived or traveled to Hubei or Wuhan in the 14 days before the onset, and had been living in Guangzhou, and had not contacted the personnel in the affected area. CDC investigators are routinely aware of their activity trajectories and exposure prior to onset. Apart from mentioning the situation of dining out in the thirties, experts could not find any clues to confirm the source of his infection.

Soon, Ms. A's husband and daughter were also diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. They had been in Guangzhou for 14 days before the onset of illness, and had not contacted the personnel in the affected area.

This confuses disease control experts. Therefore, the epidemiological investigation of Ms. A's family was not conclusive at the moment.

Just then, Ms. B from another family in the same jurisdiction was also diagnosed. Similar to family A, Ms. B had no contact history with the affected people and had not traveled far away.

So how did Ms. B get infected? Disease control experts have once again fallen into a "mystery." After careful inquiry, Ms. B's husband suddenly mentioned that on the 30th day of the year, their family went to a restaurant for dinner.

"The name of a restaurant caught the attention of one of our staff: the name is familiar and seems to have been heard somewhere."

It turned out that the two unfamiliar families mentioned above dine at the same restaurant and on the same floor next to the window at the same time of the year.

But what exactly is causing them to be infected at the same time? The disease control experts started to look back at the previous case, and a case of a Hubei family who went to Guangzhou to enter their field of vision. The hotel where this family lives is near this restaurant!

Experts found that at the same time in the thirteenth year of the New Year, the family also drank at the restaurants where Family A and Family B ate, and they were sitting between A and B. The three families were within 1 meter of each other.

The riddle was finally revealed, and A and B were not local cases, but had contact with personnel from the key areas of the epidemic without being aware of it.

Those who inadvertently contracted the virus were not just A and B. Previously, a 57-year-old man from Foshan was infected by five friends from a severely infected area at a party.

B What "contagion" does the same building depend on?

Recently, in a residential building in a certain district of Guangzhou, five confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia have appeared one after another. How did they get infected? Experts from the Guangzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tried to restore the process and find out the truth.

Three of the five cases (confirmed cases A, B, and C in Guangzhou) belonged to family member No. 1. They were a family of three. All three said they had no contact with confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and people from the affected areas. However, after an epidemiological investigation, disease control experts learned that the couple A and B had traveled to Guangzhou by train from another province in mid-January to find their child (case C). The train stopped in Wuhan on the way. It was speculated that there might be unknown patients with neo-coronary pneumonia among the same passengers. The two were infected due to close contact in the carriage, and then passed on to case C through close family contact.

Family No. 2 is another occupant of the same building and is a couple (case D, case E). They also stated that there was no history of contact with confirmed cases and people in the affected areas.

What's so strange about two "fights" in the same building? After inquiry, family No. 1 and Family No. 2 usually do not intersect. Is family number two infected by other means? The investigation was temporarily stuck.

Subsequently, CDC experts sampled the elevator, air, and door handles of the building, and found that the test results of the door handle of the first family were positive for nucleic acids, and the rest of the samples were negative. This suggests that the case of Family No. 1 may spread droplets with the new crown virus into the building's external environment through coughing, sneezing, and contact.

Experts from the Guangzhou City and District Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also used big data technology to carry out traceability investigations of cases. It was found that before January 23rd, residents in this building basically did not wear masks and were accustomed to press the "close button" to speed up the elevator door closing; through careful observation, Case B had a snot in the elevator, which may have caused the new crown virus Spread inside the elevator; Case E went in and out of the elevator twice before and 1 minute before Case B, and used a toothpick to floss after pressing the elevator button.

Linking these three findings, CDC experts reasoned that case E was most likely due to the same elevator used as case B, and exposure to the new crown virus caused by poor personal hygiene habits. Case D was then transmitted through close family contact.

So why is the environmental sampling of the elevator negative? Disease control experts said that it may be because the time has passed too long and the interior of the elevator has undergone multiple rounds of disinfection, so viral nucleic acids cannot be detected.

Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of Guangzhou reminded that if patients with new coronary pneumonia do not do self-protection and wear masks, they will spread droplets, etc. to the outside environment by coughing, sneezing, contacting, etc., and it is very likely that new coronavirus will remain in the articles Surface or confined space in the air. Experts call on the general public to develop good hygiene habits, do a good job of personal protection, protect themselves and others.

C "Choose" after a short meeting?

Girl Y is engaged in clothing wholesale in Guangzhou. His hometown Zhanjiang lives with two brothers in Guangzhou.

On January 18, Y's boss went to a Wuhan branch for a business trip and returned to Guangzhou on the 19th. On the same day, he called the store manager to have a short one-hour meeting with Y. No masks were worn during the meeting.

That night, Y felt sore throat and took cold medicine on her own. She felt that her symptoms had improved.

On January 23, Y and two brothers returned to Zhanjiang for Chinese New Year. On the 24th, the boss told the staff that on the 21st he went to Canada with fever and is currently taking medicine. As soon as Y was informed of this news, his boss was alert and the boss had been to Wuhan a few days ago! No one was wearing a mask at the time, and they could be infected! Therefore, Y went to the hospital in the afternoon even if he had no symptoms. After visiting the clinic, go home and observe in a separate room, and eat alone. Don't go out and keep away from your family.

In the early morning of January 27, Y developed fever, chills, and sore throat, accompanied by fatigue and muscle soreness. She immediately felt inappropriate, and went to the hospital again in the morning to receive isolation treatment. On the 28th, Y was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. On the 29th, Y learned that his boss was also diagnosed.

Due to Y's strong awareness of disease prevention, after returning to his hometown, he learned that his boss had fever and other symptoms and took corresponding measures. Y's family did not experience any discomfort and were not infected with the new coronavirus.

Experts from the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that at the time of rework, they should truthfully inform the unit of their travel history (whether to return to Guangdong from a high-infection area), and actively cooperate with the unit to do isolation and health registration.

Office space should be more ventilated and disinfected. If there are multiple people working together, everyone must wear a mask, wash their hands frequently, and drink plenty of water. If the unit has a canteen, it must implement a meal-sharing system and off-peak meals. In addition, there should be fewer meetings and short meetings. The place should be disinfected and ventilated before the meeting. Don't have too many participants. Wear a mask during the meeting. Site cleaning, disinfection and ventilation should also be done after the meeting.

Experts believe that recently, the number of newly diagnosed cases in our city has been on a downward trend for 7 consecutive days, and the number of newly added cases has been less than 10 in the last 3 days. The number of patients cured and discharged daily for 5 consecutive days has exceeded the number of newly confirmed cases. From February 11th, both "increased cases" and "in-hospital cases" have been reduced, indicating that the early epidemic prevention and control measures have achieved significant results. However, with the increase in the number of workers returning to work and production, the epidemic prevention and control is still facing the severe challenge of “foreign defense import and internal proliferation prevention”. There have been imported cases of returning to Chongqing in non-key areas. It is warned that during the return to Chongqing, the return of personnel will put new pressure on epidemic prevention and control.

Hubei Daily: We are in an extremely important window period

Release time: 2020-02-17 00:30 Source: Hubei Daily

Hubei and Wuhan are the top priorities for epidemic prevention and control. Hubei and Wuhan are the decisive places to win the fight against epidemic prevention and control. "Top priority", how important is our work? "The Land of Victory" Is there any key to our responsibility? The epidemic is in a period of continuous growth at a high level. How urgent is our time for action? To race against time, we must grasp this extremely important window period and concentrate all resources and forces to fight the epidemic.

We are in an extremely important window. At present, the full implementation of personnel flow control measures such as closed traffic, closed quarters in villages (villages), and delayed resumption of work and labor is the window period for blocking transmission channels. The Party Central Committee mobilized medical personnel and related materials to assist Hubei. The window period for the convergence of medical resources; the strength of all parties to focus on the prevention and control of the epidemic is the window period for the era of annihilation.

But the window period does not open all the time. When it is extraordinary, it is extraordinary, but only when it is as short as possible can the impact and cost of all aspects be reduced as much as possible. Only by holding fast to the time window created by this "absolute move" can the situation be stabilized and the situation reversed at an early date.

The window period is called "window" because the time left by the epidemic is very limited. From the perspective of the whole province, the tasks of preventing and controlling epidemic epidemic reduction and increase are still very arduous. The vast number of medical staff and grassroots cadres are in an overloaded state of work. Every day, human and material resources are consumed hugely. It will inevitably cause passiveness, and the price paid is extremely heavy. Time does not wait for people, and the spread of the epidemic does not wait for everyone. All prevention and control work must run ahead of the development of the epidemic, and all work must be moved forward, racing against time and speeding up.

The reason why this window period is extremely critical is because the situation is stuck against each other, and there is no room for loss. Hubei and Wuhan are early and frequent epidemics. The evolution of the epidemic is a wake-up call for us. If the prevention and control is not thorough and strict enough, the epidemic will spread beyond our imagination. Soberly seeing the severity and complexity of the current epidemic, in this battle to prevent and control the annihilation, we must back the battle and have no retreat.

The place of victory must be the place of decisive battle. Epidemic prevention and control is the top priority in the province at present, and it is the most important and top-ranking work in the overall situation. Hold fast to this extremely critical window period. The whole province will have a unified understanding, a unified pace, and a unified action to make work more intense, stricter and more effective. Victory "lays a decisive foundation for" national victory ". (Hubei Daily Commentator)

The accomplice of the new coronavirus-what is the pathogenic fungus?

Original title: The "accomplice" of the new coronavirus-what is the pathogenic fungus? Source: Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Since 2020, the continuous outbreak of new crown pneumonia has been affecting the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. In the face of the epidemic, the Chinese people turned into fighters, and a vigorous People's War "epidemic" was set off across the country. In the course of treatment, in addition to the clear virus "devil", our opponents also have many other pathogenic microorganisms, which can also contribute to the situation, leading to combined infections and increasing the difficulty of the entire treatment process.

Figure 1. Article published in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, retrospective analysis of 99 new crown cases [1]

Among the "killers" that cause co-infection, pathogenic fungi are an important member. On January 29, 2020, Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital published an article in the famous medical journal "The Lancet". They conducted a retrospective analysis of previous cases and found that 5 of the 99 patients with new-type coronavirus infection appeared suspicious. Status of combined fungal infections. Clinical treatment found that among these co-infected patients, pathogenic fungi such as Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Aspergillus flavus were isolated. One patient with bacterial infection was [1 ]. The reported bacterial infections are well known to the public and have caused catastrophic epidemics such as plague and cholera on the historical stage many times. However, there is very limited knowledge about fungal infections.

Fungi and pathogenic fungi

Fungus is a eukaryote. Unlike plants, animals, and bacteria, fungal cells have cell walls on their surface. Chitin (also called chitin) is the main component, which is different from cellulose in plant cells. There are about 300 species of fungi that can cause human disease.

When it comes to pathogenic fungal infections, "beriberi" is often the first related word that comes to mind. In fact, in addition to superficial infections in humans, pathogenic fungi can cause deeper and more severe infections, and even death. According to the focus of fungal infection, the pathogenic fungi can be divided into two categories: shallow infection fungus and deep infection fungus. The pathogenic fungi isolated from patients with new coronavirus infections are opportunistic fungi among the deep-infecting fungi.

Figure 2. Superficial mycosis (left) [2] and deep fungal infections (right) [3]

As the name suggests, opportunistic fungi belong to "opportunist", that is, they cannot cause disease under the condition of human health, but they will come in when the immune system is damaged or suppressed, which will cause fatal depth. infection. The infection of the new coronavirus and the use of hormones during its treatment will break the patient's own immune balance, allowing these "opportunists" to find opportunities to invade the body.

Three Chance Pathogenic Fungi

These "opportunists" can come from our own symbiotic microorganisms (climbing inside and outside) or from the environment (falling down the rocks).

Candida albicans is typical of "eating inside and crawling outside". It is a common member of the human symbiotic microbial community and is distributed in the oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, intestinal tract and vagina of healthy humans. It will teach us how powerful it is as an "invisible killer": Candida albicans can be transformed from a yeast form to an infectious mycelium form, which allows it to march from the shallow surface of the human body to deeper tissues "Its excessive growth may lead to superficial infections (such as thrush), and even fatal deep infections (such as sepsis).

The vast majority of pathogenic fungi actually come from the environment. They appear to be mediocre in the environment. They seem harmless to humans and animals, but they can invade the body through our respiratory system, causing pneumonia and even systemic infections. Cryptococcus neoformans, which are environmental pathogenic fungi, can emit their own "offspring" spores into the environment, or they can form lightweight dry yeast due to the dry environment. These two forms facilitate their spread in the air and pass through human breathing The system enters the lung colonization and waits for opportunity.

Three major opportunities for pathogenic fungi, from left to right are Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus [4]

Aspergillus fumigatus, the last of the three opportunities, is also from the environment, and is one of the important culprits causing food spoilage. Aspergillus fumigatus spores are widespread in the environment. Therefore, in addition to destroying food and causing economic losses, it can also invade the body and cause aspergillosis in the bronchi and lungs. Among them, invasive aspergillosis is the most deadly, with a mortality rate of 30%. Although the hospital has taken a number of measures to reduce the level of Aspergillus in the air, the interior of the hospital is still the hardest hit area for invasive aspergillosis, which directly leads to infection and even death of hospitalized patients. What's more serious is that in recent years, Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from many countries has begun to show resistance to its "buster" -azole drugs. The mortality rate of invasive aspergillosis caused by these resistant bacteria can rise to 88%. -100%, which brings great difficulties to clinical treatment [5].

Black history of pathogenic fungi

In fact, the fungal co-infection of patients with new coronavirus infections is not the first appearance of pathogenic fungi on the historical stage. In the long war against viruses, fungi have repeatedly appeared, causing severe damage to humans. During the fight against SARS from 2002 to 2003, cases of co-fungal infections were repeatedly reported, and their occurrence greatly increased mortality. After sputum specimens from 33 patients with severe SARS were detected by the 309 Hospital of the PLA, 6 cases of fungal infection and 3 cases of bacterial and fungal infection were found [6]. Every appearance of fungal co-infection is another threat to the life of critically ill patients.

In addition to being "accomplices", pathogenic fungi have also posed a huge threat to human health as the main force. In 2001, Cryptococcus neoformans, the twin brother of Cryptococcus neoformans, swept across Vancouver Island, Canada, causing a large number of animal infections and deaths, and subsequently infecting local residents. Outbreaks continued until 2012, causing a total of 337 infections in British Columbia, with a mortality rate of approximately 30% [8].

Candida ear infections continue to increase nationwide [7]

Coincidentally, the infection of "super fungus" Candida albicans in recent years also has a very high lethality (nearly 50%), which has once again caused worldwide attention to pathogenic fungi. As of the end of February 2019, the fungus caused 587 cases of infection in the United States [9]. Due to its resistance to broad-spectrum antifungal azoles, Candida auricularia makes clinical treatment more difficult.

Why is it difficult to eliminate fungi?

Pathogenic fungi pose a huge threat to human life and health. Fungi are different from bacteria and viruses. As eukaryotes, fungi have a unique "upgrade procedure"-sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction enables fungi to reorganize genetic material, thereby producing diversified descendants, which provides an important driving force for the production of highly virulent and drug-resistant strains, and lays a hidden danger for the emergence of outbreaks of infection. Because of its increasingly strong ability to adapt, the range of targets for pathogenic fungi is also widening. Cryptococcus neoformans, which originally only infected immunocompromised patients, has shown a tendency to infect immunocompetent people in China. Faced with such a huge threat, the types of treatments are far from matching.

Both fungi and human hosts are eukaryotes. Evolutionally, they came from a common eukaryotic ancestor. As a result, fungi are closer to our genome and cell structure than bacteria (prokaryotes). Therefore, antifungal drugs obtained through traditional screening methods are often more toxic and cannot be used for clinical treatment. This has made the development of new antifungal drugs extremely difficult, and no new drugs have been available for nearly two decades.

Pathogenic fungal infections are so tricky, in large part because they are not given enough attention. In recent years, many fungal outbreaks have sounded the alarm in the world. In drug development, the US FDA has allowed the market franchise of new drugs to treat the three major pathogenic fungi (Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus) infections to be extended for 5 years, and approved the drugs to be listed as "orphan status" To reduce the limits of clinical trials. In addition, the concept of fungal control has also been upgraded. The concept of One Health provides a new idea for the prevention and control of pathogenic fungal infections. People are gradually realizing that fungal outbreak infection is not a simple public health safety event. The reason is that the environment-animal-plant-human interaction chain is imbalanced. Animal health and environmental health are closely related to human health. If we know nothing about the pathogens in the ecological environment and animals and plants, we cannot predict the harm of infection and spread in the population. Therefore, in order to be able to deal with "powerful" pathogenic fungi, it is essential to ensure the coordinated health of humans, animals and the environment. Achieving collaborative health requires interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists studying human, animal and plant and environmental health, establishing appropriate institutional mechanisms, strengthening research and collaboration between scientists, doctors, and personnel from different government departments, preventing micro-fading, and stifling the "fungi demon" in Germination stage.

As a severely affected area of ​​pathogenic fungal infection, China needs to pay more attention to pathogenic fungi, actively carry out exchanges between hospitals and scientific research institutions, promote the rapid development of new diagnosis and treatment methods, and establish a comprehensive fungal control system based on the characteristics of fungal infections in China. In terms of publicity, we must strengthen science popularization and popularize the public's awareness of pathogenic fungi and their awareness of prevention and control. It is believed that with these efforts, we can finally solve the threats and problems that pathogenic fungi bring to us.

On February 16th, the Health and Health Commission of Hainan Province notified the activity trajectory of confirmed cases No. 163 and 164. Among them, the confirmed case No. 163 is related to the previously confirmed cases No. 37, 77, and 161.

The reporter combed the report and found that this is a family of five who started from Hubei and arrived in Haikou, Hainan, on the evening of January 25. Since January 26, four of them have been diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia.

Among them, the earliest confirmed case was confirmed case No. 37. She is a 3-month-old baby girl and lives in Xiaogan, Hubei.

The Health and Health Committee of Hainan Province had disclosed at the time that she arrived in Haikou by private car at around 23:00 on January 25, and was arranged to check in at the Haikou Ordnance Hotel that night. At around 10:00 on January 26, the 37th confirmed case was taken to Haikou People's Hospital for isolation and treatment by 120 ambulance due to fever. The diagnosis was confirmed on the 27th and is currently being treated in designated hospitals.

The second confirmed case No. 77 was a 29-year-old male who lives in Wuhan, Hubei.

The Health and Health Committee of Hainan Province disclosed more details of the itinerary in the briefing: he departed from Wuhan on a private car on January 23 and entered the security inspection of Hai'an New Port at around 21:00 on January 25.

From January 26 to February 1, the confirmed case No. 77 was taken care of in the isolation ward of the People's Hospital of Haikou City. Subsequently, he was confirmed on February 3 and is currently undergoing isolation treatment at designated hospitals.

The third confirmed case No. 161 of the family of five is a 27-year-old female patient who lives in Xiaogan, Hubei. She was transferred by 120 ambulances to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College for isolation and treatment on February 12, and was confirmed on February 14. She is currently undergoing isolation and treatment at a designated hospital.

The Hainan Provincial Health and Health Commission's report showed that Case No. 161 traveled from Wuhan to Xiaogan, Hubei by private car on January 21, set off from Xiaogan to Hengyang, Hunan on January 24, and left Hengyang on the morning of January 25, around 21:00 on the day After entering the security checkpoint of Hai'an New Port, I took the Haizhuang ferry No. 18 to Haikou. At the same night, I was also arranged for centralized observation at the Haikou Ordnance Hotel.

After the onset of confirmed case No. 37 on January 26, she and the confirmed case No. 77 went to the isolation ward of Haikou People's Hospital to accompany her. From January 27 to February 11, she was escorted in the ward until February 12. Isolated for treatment.

Compared with the three confirmed family members, the 58-year-old female patient, the trajectory of confirmed case No. 163, is more complicated. She has been active in hotels and shopping malls since she was quarantined on February 10.

According to the Health and Health Committee of Hainan Province, confirmed cases No. 163 are the same as those diagnosed in Nos. 37 and 161, and they live in Xiaogan, Hubei. It was officially disclosed that her journey from Hubei to Hainan was consistent with No. 161 confirmed cases. The difference was that she was arranged for centralized observation at the Haikou Ordnance Hotel on January 27, and was re-arranged from January 28 to February 9 Focus on isolation and observation at Holiday Inn Real Madrid.

At about 14:00 on February 10, the quarantined case No. 163 was released. She transferred to the Lai Feng Hotel, Sandong Road, Haidian Island to check in, and then walked to Haikou Peng Taixing Shopping Plaza and nearby Baiguoyuan and Baoluofen. , And then return to the hotel to rest.

On the morning of February 11th, the confirmed case No. 163 ate at the first breakfast shop on the west side of the hotel, then walked to Haikou Peng Taixing Shopping Plaza for shopping, and then returned to the hotel. At noon that day, she took a 120 ambulance from the hotel to the 37th People's Hospital of Haikou City and discharged No. 37 cases.

On February 12, the confirmed case No. 163 did not go out at the hotel. At about 19:00 on the 13th, he took an electric car to the Haikou People's Hospital for a fever clinic and was hospitalized. He was diagnosed on February 14 and is currently undergoing isolation treatment at a designated hospital. .

The reporter learned from the Henan Provincial Department of Science and Technology on the 16th that it takes only 3 minutes to observe the results with the naked eye and a nucleic acid test strip that can be used to quickly detect new coronaviruses. It has been successfully developed by the academician Zhang Gaiping of Henan Agricultural University.

This project is an emergency science and technology project of Henan Provincial Department of Science and Technology to cope with the new crown pneumonia. Academician Zhang Gaiping, President of Henan Agricultural University, focused his resources in three laboratories including Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou University, and Henan Key Laboratory of Animal Immunology, organized a lean research team, and launched a new type of coronavirus vaccine and detection technology. jobs.

At present, several phased results have been achieved: a sampling scheme for sampling and then inactivating the virus has been proposed, which can effectively reduce the spread of the virus; unique primers have been designed and synthesized, and common PCR detection reagents and reagents that can be used to detect new types of coronavirus have been successfully developed. Fluorescent quantitative PCR detection reagents. Among them, the detection accuracy of fluorescent quantitative PCR detection reagents is 10 to 100 times that of the nationally announced primers, and the detection time is 1.5 hours. The nucleic acid detection test strips that can be used for rapid detection of new coronaviruses have been successfully developed, and the detection accuracy has been improved. Below 10 copies, the reaction time on the test paper is only three minutes, and the results can be observed with the naked eye, without the use of special equipment; a new type of coronavirus antibody rapid detection test paper has been developed, which can be used for diagnosis and treatment reference. Medical investigations, immune assessments, etc.

It is reported that Academician Zhang Gaiping's team has cooperated with Academician Zhang Yaping, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Academician Xu Tao, Group Leader of the Scientific Research Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to carry out subsequent antibody neutralization virus tests and vaccine development.
