"Storm and Blizzard Come Together" The five northern provinces and regions ushered in bad weather, did it have an impact on the epidemic?

It is very rare for the Central Meteorological Observatory to release the warning information of snowstorm and rainstorm in five northern provinces at the same time. It can be said that the relevant parties are making the most adequate emergency preparations. At the same time, we also know that winter is also a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases. Such bad weather is very challenging to the epidemic, because the low temperature weather is conducive to the survival and spread of the virus, and people will be closed in the space, and their susceptibility will increase, so everyone's awareness of self-protection cannot be reduced, and we must continue to take protective measures.

First, the five northern provinces and regions will usher in heavy rain. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning for snowstorm and a blue warning for rainstorm on June 1 18.

In the next 24 hours, there will be heavy blizzards in southeastern Heilongjiang, western and northern Jilin, western Liaoning, central and eastern Inner Mongolia, northern Hebei and other places, and there will still be heavy blizzards in some areas, with the snow depth reaching 30 cm.

In addition, there are heavy rains in southeastern Inner Mongolia, most of Liaoning, central and eastern Jilin and southeastern Heilongjiang. Among them, there is heavy rain in the southeast of Liaoning, and the rainfall can reach 100 mm or more.

Second, it's a bit cold this winter. According to reports, experts currently predict that the temperature in most parts of the country will be low this winter, so we should pay special attention to the possibility of a large-scale strong low-temperature rain and snow process in the middle of winter (202 1 year, 1 month). In other words, this winter is colder than usual.

Specifically, this winter, the temperature in China is generally warm in the east and cold in the west. Winter temperatures in northeastern Xinjiang, western Inner Mongolia, Gansu, northern Qinghai, Ningxia, Shaanxi, western Shanxi, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and other places are lower than normal, and winter temperatures in most other parts of the country are close to normal to high.

Third, does extreme weather such as blizzard have an impact on the epidemic? Winter is the high incidence period of respiratory diseases, and the low temperature environment is conducive to the survival and spread of the virus. These are the most basic understandings. It can be seen that low temperature is not a good thing. On the one hand, people's resistance will decrease and their susceptibility will increase. On the other hand, when it is cold, people will like to gather in a small space and turn on heating or air conditioning, which will also bring pressure to epidemic prevention and control.

But how big is the impact?

Zhong Nanshan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said at the Second China Physician Public Welfare Conference in 2020. I don't think there will be another outbreak in China by the end of this year. Now sporadic outbreaks are getting shorter and shorter. As long as this method is adopted, the first wave of tens of thousands of people in China will not be infected. ?

It can be seen that the current prevention and control measures in China are effective. On the basis of scientific prevention and control, the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control will not change even if the snowstorm cold wave comes. We still have confidence in this.

1 65438+1 October 17 national epidemic report data showed that there were 8 new cases in China, 7 of which were imported from abroad, including 4 cases in Shanghai, 0 cases in Shanxi, 0 cases in Liaoning and 0 cases in Guangdong. In addition, Tianjin local case 1 case. Relevant areas have taken the fastest and most stringent measures to prevent and control.

Therefore, the most important thing in bad weather such as rainstorm and blizzard is to take good precautions against natural disasters, such as reducing outdoor activities and cutting off water and electricity when necessary. Of course, if you go in and out of public places, you should still wear a mask, wash your hands frequently and get plenty of ventilation. This is common sense to prevent respiratory diseases in winter.
