What are the similarities and differences between this new type of pneumonia and SARS?

This new type of pneumonia is actually similar to the previous SARS, but there are also many differences, mainly in the following aspects.

The same aspect:

First, whether it is new pneumonia or SARS, in fact, the clinical symptoms are similar. Generally, high fever is the main symptom, accompanied by cough, general weakness, digestive tract and other symptoms. Of course, even if there are such symptoms, it does not mean that it must be a new type of pneumonia, and further judgment is needed.

Second, in fact, there are similarities between the new pneumonia and the SARS virus. These two viruses actually belong to coronavirus, and they are similar in structure and function.

Third, both new pneumonia and SARS are contagious, and have the characteristics of spreading from person to person through droplets and other modes of transmission. They spread very fast and need to be vigilant.

Different aspects:

First, although the clinical symptoms of new pneumonia and SARS are similar, the severity is different. At that time, the mortality rate of SARS was very high, but today's new pneumonia is actually not that high, and it is still very easy to treat. Moreover, in order to treat SARS, many people have reached the level of taking hormones, so many people who have been cured of SARS have left behind hormone sequelae, but the new pneumonia is not so serious.

Second, they spread at different speeds. Of course, we are actually different now as to who has higher transmission speed and who has lower transmission speed. However, the spread speed and scope of this new type of pneumonia is so fast, mainly because it has caught up this time, and the flow of people has increased greatly during the Spring Festival, resulting in a very wide coverage of the new type of pneumonia. In fact, SARS in those years mainly gathered in Beijing.

However, under such difficult conditions, we all survived SARS, and this new type of pneumonia will definitely get better.
