Covid-19 Four Major Focus Issues, Treatment Experts Answer One By One

Recently, there are media reports that type O blood is not a COVID-19 susceptible group, and type A blood is a COVID-19 susceptible group, which has caused widespread concern among netizens across the country.
At present, with the clearing of COVID-19 patients everywhere, how should residents in Liaoning area take precautions? What are the COVID-19 susceptible people? How should patients with basic diseases such as lung diseases and respiratory tracts be prevented? In response to these problems, reporters from Shenyang Evening News and Shen Baoquan interviewed Professor Wang Wei, the leader of the provincial medical treatment expert group for pneumonitis infected by new coronavirus in Liaoning Province and director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University.
Why are older people vulnerable?
Wang Wei said: "The majority of the deaths in this epidemic were elderly people with underlying diseases over the age of 60, so the country has always emphasized that this group is susceptible, and this group is not only susceptible to COVID-19 but also other diseases. Vulnerable populations. Because the elderly in this stage decrease their cardiopulmonary function and their immunity as they age. "
How can this group be prevented? Some elderly people are particularly worried that they will be infected and will not go out at home. Is this necessary?
Wang Wei said that there are several important factors for suffering from infectious diseases-the source of infection, the route of transmission, and the patient itself is a susceptible group, not to say that the simple susceptible group can get sick. The elderly must wear a mask and diligently when going out. Wash hands and protect them well. Avoid contact with patients or people who have been to the epidemic area. Keep a distance of more than 1 meter when contacting people. If the elderly do these protections, infection will be greatly reduced.
Do you still need to wear a mask?
Wang Wei said that COVID-19 is transmitted through droplets, so wearing a mask is still an important means of protection.
So, what measures should be taken for people who are not suitable for wearing masks?
Wang Wei said that this requires a specific analysis. Some people are just uncomfortable when they put on a mask, and they have symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and so on. It is good to take them off, and these people will adapt slowly for a while. Some types of masks do not adapt, you can choose other types (materials) of masks to try; some people do not adapt to wearing masks, it is not a problem with the masks, but has its own respiratory diseases, coronary heart disease and other diseases.
How to distinguish common respiratory diseases from COVID-19?
At present, it is the alternation of winter and spring seasons, which is a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases and flu. Many people have symptoms such as asthma, cough, and fever. What is the difference between these people and COVID-19 patients? How to identify?
Wang Wei said that the main manifestations of COVID-19 are fever, sore throat, fatigue, and cough, but the important thing is to look at the epidemiological history (whether it has contact with people in the affected area, whether it has been to the affected area). At present, the seasons are alternating, which is itself a high incidence of respiratory diseases such as influenza. Respiratory diseases will have fever, sore throat, fatigue, and cough. From the diagnosis of COVID-19 in Liaoning, it is very important to identify whether there is an epidemiological history.
How can patients with lung, respiratory tract and other diseases be prevented?
Wang Wei said that some patients in this group did not dare to go out because of the epidemic situation. They often stopped their medicines at home, which is not advisable. For example, children with asthma should first stay away from allergens at home, and then follow the doctor's instructions. If you need to reduce or stop taking the medicine, you can consult your doctor. Do not stop the medicine without authorization.
Is blood type related to COVID-19?
Wang Wei said that the blood type is indeed related to some diseases, such as hepatitis B and type O blood, cerebrovascular disease and type A blood, and whether the blood type is related to COVID-19 requires further scientific analysis of the data.
Wang Wei said that from the current data survey, different blood types are indeed related to the different symptoms of patients with COVID-19. At present, they only see a clue and need to be treated carefully.
