The Ziniu news reporter of the Yangtze Evening News learned yesterday that during the Spring Festival, the expert team of the infection department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital stayed up all night to find data and comprehensive information day and night, so that the protection manual could be quickly prepared within a week.
Since December last year, we have been concerned about the latest trend of New Coronavirus. As soon as the new year is over, we need to write a prevention and control manual to give public popular science knowledge about pneumonia in New Coronavirus. Wu Chao, vice president of Nanjing Gulou Hospital and director of infectious disease division, took this important task. After receiving this urgent task, Wu Chao led the team to act quickly. " This protection manual is for the public, so we must answer the concerns of ordinary people and be easy to understand. " Vice president Wu Chao led the team to clarify the main contents and formulate a general framework. It is clear that the 'protection manual' is divided into five chapters to popularize science for the public from the five aspects of understanding the virus, protecting yourself, interpreting policies and regulations, supporting various measures and preventing the recurrence of the virus. After roughly dividing the sections, the following is the detailed content under each section. The team led by Vice President Wu Chao includes more than a dozen medical workers. "The average age of more than a dozen members of the team is more than 30 years. They have a doctor of Virology and a clinician in the Department of infection who have returned from abroad and have rich experience." Vice president Wu Chao said.
Dr. Huang Rui, associate editor of New Coronavirus infection pneumonia Handbook and Nanjing Gulou Hospital infection department, said that after discussion, we finally decided that the popular science content in the prevention and control manual was in the form of questions and answers, and the questions and answers should be as simple and simple as possible, so that they could be easily understood and accepted by the masses. Each member of the team starts to collect a lot of data and information according to the assigned problems, and then write them.
In the actual compilation process, the amount of information needs to be collected is very large, and the information needs to be comprehensively sorted out, and then analyze whether the collected information is available. " The final draft was given to us on the second day of the lunar new year, with only four or five days to write. " Huang Rui told reporters that during this period, everyone in the team forgot to eat and sleep and stayed up all night for several consecutive nights. Vice president Wu Chao told reporters that after taking out the first draft, the comrades in the editorial department of 'Phoenix medicine' revised and proofread the draft overnight, repeatedly communicated with the team, and finally launched the electronic version on January 27.

Selected contents of "prevention and control manual"
Can smoking kill New Coronavirus?
may not. It is rumored that tobacco oil can prevent the virus from entering lung cells, but the fact is that smoking damages the respiratory mucosa. Therefore, smoking can not prevent virus infection, but will bring more opportunities for virus infection; And smokers in the virus infection, the disease will be more serious.
Can alcohol kill New Coronavirus?
may not. What can effectively kill the virus is 75% medical alcohol '. To kill the virus with alcohol, alcohol needs to act directly on the virus, that is, wipe or spray the surface of objects that may have virus. New Coronavirus generally invades the human body through the respiratory tract. Alcohol is absorbed through the digestive tract and then catabolized in the body. Therefore, drinking is not antiviral '.
Can vinegar kill New Coronavirus?
may not. In the commonly used vinegar, the main component is acetic acid. Acetic acid does not kill the virus. Peracetic acid is really effective and can disinfect the air.
Can Radix Isatidis prevent New Coronavirus infection?
may not. Radix Isatidis is mainly used to treat wind heat in influenza, especially for fever, sore throat, red tongue, thirst and other symptoms. But it is not a panacea. There is no evidence that Banlangen can prevent New Coronavirus infection.
Can antibiotics prevent New Coronavirus infection?
may not. Antibiotics (often including acicillin, cephalosporin, levofloxacin, roxithromycin, etc.) are specifically targeted at bacterial infections, while New Coronavirus is a virus. Antibiotics have no effect on the virus and can only be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
Can vitamin C prevent New Coronavirus infection?
may not. No matter what kind of disease, it has no effect to prevent it by eating two vitamin C tablets or drinking vitamin C effervescent tablet water. There is no clinical research and data to prove that vitamins can enhance human immunity and fight viruses.
Can antiviral drugs (oseltamivir and Leigh Bhave Lin) treat New Coronavirus infection?
may not. Common antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir are effective in treating a variety of influenza viruses, but they can not treat New Coronavirus infection. Leigh Bhave Lin (ribavirin) has inhibitory effects on respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus, but has no effect on New Coronavirus.
Has influenza vaccination been taken to prevent New Coronavirus infection?
