[New Tang Dynasty News, Beijing time, June 07, 2023]Recently, many Chinese doctors revealed that the beds in their hospitals are saturated, and most of the hospitalized patients are patients with new crowns. At the same time, a surprise case of monkeypox in Beijing has sparked concern.

Dr. Li, Director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Jingmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hubei Province: “This week, there are more and more new crown patients in the respiratory department. The 51 beds in the department have received 70 patients, basically all of them are new crown patients, non-new crown patients. Those who were able to be discharged were basically discharged home. This morning, the department had white lungs and respiratory failure due to the new crown infection. A total of 5 patients were treated with high-flow nasal humidification oxygen therapy or non-invasive ventilators. They went to the hospital for treatment. They all had dyspnea and hypoxia. A CT scan showed typical signs of a new coronavirus infection close to white lung.”

A doctor revealed that the intensive care unit of her hospital was full of patients with new crowns, some of whom were elderly patients whose symptoms were not obvious, and timely medical treatment was delayed.

Dr. Li: “Elderly people over the age of 65, those with chronic heart and lung diseases, especially those who have not passed the first wave of the epidemic last year, are all at high risk of severe illness. They have respiratory symptoms such as fever, runny nose, and cough, or It’s just that the elderly suddenly feel fatigued and have a loss of appetite, so we must be highly vigilant if they are infected with the new crown.”

Lu Hongzhou, President of Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital: “If you are a healthy person, following the first infection, although your immune function cannot completely prevent the new XBB from re-infection, the symptoms are relatively mild; if you are an elderly person People are cancer patients and immunocompromised patients. If you get infected once more, the virus hit your immune function in the last time you were infected, so if you get infected once more, it will be another blow to you. It cannot produce effective immune protection. Therefore, for this group of people, if they are re-infected, severe illness will still occur, and various complications and complications will still occur.”

Added text Hu Yang, Deputy Chief Physician of Respiratory Medicine Department of Shanghai Third-A Hospital, warned that strenuous exercise and drinking should be avoided within one month following infection of the new crown, as the worst case may lead to sudden death. He mentioned that in March, the 25-year-old young actor Liu Feng was infected with the new crown not long following he recovered. After drinking alcohol and exercising in the gym, he died suddenly. The cause of the sudden death was suspected to be myocardial infarction. An American study by CG Tuca pointed out that within 90 days following recovering from COVID-19 infection, the incidence of myocardial infarction was 8.5 times higher than that of people who were not infected with COVID-19. The study also found that age, sex and pre-existing health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, may increase the risk of myocardial infarction following infection.

As the number of patients repeatedly infected with the new coronavirus continued to increase, the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced on June 6 that medical institutions in Beijing reported two cases of monkeypox virus infection, and the two cases are currently being isolated and treated in designated hospitals. The real situation is unknown.
