Source | Interface Journalist | Niu Qichang On January 22, 2020, the State Council Press Office held a press conference, and Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health and Wellness Commission, reported that as of 24: 00 on January 21, National Health Commission had received a total of 440 confirmed cases of pneumonia infected by novel coronavirus from 13 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China, and 9 deaths were reported.
At present, 2,197 close contacts have been tracked, 765 have been released from medical observation, and 1,394 are still under medical observation. It is worth mentioning that, in response to various rumors circulating on the Internet recently about novel coronavirus, many departments have refuted the rumors and responded. Up to now, Interface News has compiled the following 14 rumors that have been officially refuted. Rumor 1: The mysterious disease that broke out in Wuhan, China has been confirmed as a new SARS virus. China CDC has rumored that the pathogen that caused the "mysterious disease" in Wuhan was determined to be a novel coronavirus, not a SARS virus. 02 rumor 2: Wuhan new virus is 73% similar to SARS; The similarity between Wuhan novel coronavirus gene sequence and SARS virus is 80%. The similarity between Wuhan pneumonia and SARS is as high as 90%. Rumor: China CDC denied that the genetic similarity of viruses cannot be equated with the similar pathogenicity of viruses. Although novel coronavirus, SARS and MERS coronaviruses discovered this time belong to the same family of coronaviruses, genetic evolution analysis shows that they belong to different subgroups, which are neither SARS nor MERS viruses, and their virus gene sequences are quite different. 03 Proverbs 3: A WeChat user who claimed to be a medical staff said, "There have been several cases in our hospital and they have been closely isolated. It’s horrible. It is said that 80% is SARS. " Rumor: China CDC rumors that coronavirus is very common in nature, divided into many types, and the harm caused is also very different.The pathogen causing viral pneumonia in Wuhan is a new coronavirus, which is different from SARS virus. The isolation treatment of patients with infectious diseases is the requirement of the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, which is responsible for both patients and public health. Rumor 4: SARS has never disappeared, and it has been parasitic on bats. Rumor: China CDC rumors that SARS broke out in China in 2002 -2003, and no SARS cases have been found in China for more than ten years. At present, no human SARS coronavirus has been detected in bats. Rumor 5: Wuhan pneumonia virus is a long-standing SARS-like Corona virus. Rumor: China CDC denied that the "coronavirus" rumored on the Internet was transliterated from Coronavirus, and the pathogen causing viral pneumonia in Wuhan was a new coronavirus, not SARS virus. At present, the investigation shows that the interpersonal transmission ability and pathogenicity of the virus are weaker than SARS.

Myth 6: Banlangen and smoked vinegar can prevent new pneumonia: National Health Commission denied in his official Weibo "Healthy China" that drinking Banlangen and smoked vinegar could not prevent Wuhan pneumonia. National Health Commission said that since the occurrence of pneumonia in Wuhan, there have been more and more voices of storing Radix Isatidis and fumigating vinegar, and they even became a "golden combination" for prevention. However, Zhang Hua, the chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Beijing Hepingli Hospital, said that Radix Isatidis is suitable for the treatment of heat diseases such as wind-heat cold and viral cold, and has certain antiviral effect, but it is impossible to be effective against coronavirus. Fumigating vinegar, the concentration of acetic acid itself is very low, and it can’t achieve the disinfection effect at all.
Rumor 7: 12 prescriptions for preventing Wuhan pneumonia in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: drinking herbal tea and eating traditional Chinese medicine to dispel the rumor: WeChat official account, the official WeChat of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, wrote, "Recently, the hospital has paid attention to the so-called prescription for preventing Wuhan pneumonia in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which was not formulated by Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At present, hospital experts have been discussing the plan of preventing and treating novel coronavirus infection with Chinese medicine according to the arrangement of higher authorities. " In addition, a doctor from a 3A Chinese medicine hospital in South China told 21st century business herald that it is useless to drink antiviral oral liquid and Radix Isatidis if infected, and it can’t play a preventive role. As far as the present situation is concerned, the most effective way to prevent and treat unknown pneumonia is still to wear a mask, wash hands more and ventilate frequently.
08 Proverbs 8: Rumor that "Guangzhou medical staff are infected with Wuhan’s new pneumonia": On January 18th, the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University rumored in the official Weibo that "there are rumors that medical staff in our hospital are suspected to be infected with Wuhan coronavirus, which is untrue. I hope everyone will not believe in rumors and cause panic. We will pay close attention to the latest progress of the coronavirus incident and jointly protect people’s health. "

He further introduced that MERS occurred in the Middle East, and there has never been a "super communicator". In South Korea, a "super communicator" appeared. "Super Communicator" refers to a person who is highly contagious and is more likely to infect others than a normal person who is sick, resulting in a large-scale outbreak of the epidemic. 14 Rumor 14: The rumor that the deputy director of Wuhan Health and Health Commission was absent without leave was isolated: On the morning of January 22nd, it was reported that "Liu Qingxiang, the deputy director of Wuhan Health and Health Commission, was absent without leave and went to Shanghai to spend the New Year with his daughter.

On January 22, the official Wei of Wuhan Health and Health Commission announced that the information about Comrade Liu Qingxiang, deputy director of Wuhan Health and Health Commission, was seriously untrue. Deputy Director Liu Qingxiang is 55 years old. Since the end of December last year, he has been sticking to the front line of pneumonia prevention and control in novel coronavirus. She has no daughter, only one son works in Han; Neither she nor her lover is a doctor, and her lover died in Han last year because of cancer.
