Anti-epidemic for two years | Omicron is expected to be like a flu in the future. Kong Fanyi: I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel
[08:00] During the new crown epidemic, experts in various medical fields have become familiar faces in the news.
It is not the first time that Kong Fanyi, a clinical professor of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, has faced the epidemic of the century.
Recalling that during the outbreak of SARS, the whole social atmosphere was tense, and the hospital was like a dead city, but as a doctor, he needed to contact patients in the ward every day.
His experience in SARS made him fascinated by clinical research. In the early stage of the new crown epidemic, he had learned that drugs such as interferon and protease inhibitors were very helpful to the new crown disease. Early medication also made the patient's recovery progress faster and better.
Although Omicron is now a mainstream virus, the chain of community transmission triggered by Pakistani women spreads rapidly.
However, Kong Fanyi said that the case cited to the end of the virus cycle, the virus will be highly transmissible, but the fatal or severe rate is low; in the future, the new coronavirus may have the opportunity to be popular in winter, such as influenza, and citizens may need to receive one dose of influenza vaccine and one dose of influenza every year. The new crown vaccine, and with the introduction of the second-generation vaccine, will be more effective against the Omicron variant virus.
He encouraged the public to continue to adhere to the epidemic prevention measures at this stage: "I believe that we will persist for a long time, and we have seen the light. I believe that we have reached the end of the epidemic. When you see the end of the tunnel, get out of the tunnel."
