Special: There are many hidden dangers of "lying" in the world's new crown diagnostic cases of over 600 million resistance

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 2. Specialty: Global new crown diagnosis cases exceed 600 million anti -epidemic "lying flat" hidden dangers

Xinhua News Agency reporter

According to data released by the World Health Organization on September 1st, the total number of new crowns in the world has exceeded 600 million cases, and the number of deaths of deaths exceeds 6.47 million cases. Since this year, the number of global death cases has exceeded one million. Experts believe that "lying" in the United States and some Western countries is an important reason for the sustainable global epidemic.

"Liely" national cases surge

According to the World Health Website data, as of 18:44 on September 1st in central Europe (0:44 on the 2nd Beijing time), a total of 6005555,262 cases in the world's cumulative new crowns reached 6,472914 cases.

The typical representative of the "lying flat" is the country with the largest number of cumulative diagnosis and death cases. The cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeds 93.21 million cases, and the cumulative number of death cases exceeds 1.03 million cases, all of which account for more than 15%of global cases. Japan has just passed in August more than 200,000 new cases, and the number of new cases in a single day has repeatedly reached a record high.

According to the 6th regional offices in the WHO, the number of accumulated diagnosis and death cases in Europe and the Americas are ranked among the top two. So far, the confirmed cases have been reported as high as 248,26087 and 175768187, and 207,7355 deaths and 2817530 cases were killed. The proportion of total diagnosis and death cases in these two regions exceeds 70%and 75%, respectively.

The Director -General of the WHO Tan Desai said on August 25 that the number of new crown deaths worldwide this year has exceeded 1 million. He hopes that all countries will make more efforts to vaccinate new crown vaccines for those high -risk people, ensure effective therapy, continue to conduct testing and sequencing, and formulate targeted anti -epidemic policies to curb the spread of new crown epidemic.

"Lying flat" impacts socio -economic

Yan Zhongzhi, a professor of infection in the infection of Jiaquan University in South Korea, believes that the current "lying" is not appropriate, the epidemic is not over, and it may rebound at any time.

Japan suffered a surge in cases after "lying down", and the medical system was on the verge of collapse. The Ministry of Health and Labor, Ministry of Labor, released on August 31. It was reported that the use of beds in the country has remained high, and many emergency treatment difficulties and lack of work in medical staff have also occurred. In many places, medical systems have seriously under pressure. A joint statement issued by 14 medical institutions of Kyoto Prefecture, Affiliated Hospital of Kyoto University, said on August 15th that the epidemic has reached a very serious level ... The medical crash state that cannot be saved.

A report released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently showed that the per capita life expectancy of the United States has declined for two consecutive years in the new crown epidemic, and it fell to 76.1 years in 2021, the lowest level since 1996. Steven Wolf, a professor at the Federal University of Virginia, believes that although other high -income developed countries have been greatly impacted in the first year of the new crown epidemic, most of them have begun to recover last year. Life continues to decline like the United States.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, a virusologist at Winway University in the United Kingdom said that the new crown is still a serious disease. Prevention and control of the new crown not only requires vaccination and use antiviral drugs, but also necessary public health measures. The status quo of the epidemic should sound the alarm for people, because "reality is not in the post -new crown epidemic stage as some people want to believe."

"Lying flat" increases the risk of virus mutation

Some experts believe that the "lying" in Europe and the United States has increased the risk of new mutant strains. CEO Richard Hoches said that as long as the virus spread is very high, as long as there is a highly protected group, as long as there is an undessed group, the environment of virus mutation may be possible. The virus will continue to evolve, and an unpredictable virus may cause the epidemic at any time.

According to the WHO data, Omiko's strains are still the main poisonous strains in the world, of which BA.5 subtype accounts for more than 90%of the virus gene sequence shared by countries. However, since the beginning of this year, the number of gene sequences shared from WHO every week has decreased by 90%, and the number of countries that shared sequences has fallen by 75%, which makes it more difficult for researchers to understand the possible changes in the new crown virus.

There are still many people in the world that have not been vaccinated, and they are more likely to be affected by mutant viruses. According to the WHO data, one -third of the world's population has not been vaccinated, including two -thirds of medical workers of low -income countries and three -quarters of the elderly. The WHO called on governments to increase their efforts to inoculate the new crown vaccine for all medical workers, elderly and high -risk people to achieve the goal of 70%of the 70%vaccination coverage set by WHO.

Yang pointed out that every time the new mutant strain appears, it is often more contagious and the immune escape ability is stronger. This is why many people repeat the virus, and people are in a terrible cycle of a new mutant strain. After entering winter, there are many other respiratory diseases, and people will face mixed risks. In the future, new coronal virus infection will still be a serious problem, especially for clinical vulnerable groups and elderly people.
