In the details of life, try to avoid close contact with flu patients and try to reduce contact with others when you are sick. When coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with paper towels or hands. Wash your hands frequently, and timely clean frequently contacted items. Avoid hand contact with eyes, mouth and nose. The latest flu in the United States started from 20 19 to 10, which has caused more than 30 million infections and 65,438+20,000 ~ 30,000 deaths. And the number of infected people continues to rise at a high level. This is called the worst flu in the United States in 40 years.
However, because the influenza virus will mutate itself, every outbreak of influenza virus is different from the previous one. Therefore, for this flu, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not specifically recommend the vaccine, which means that it can be used as long as it is licensed and the age is appropriate. Although the outbreak of influenza virus in the United States is so fierce, the United States is not overly nervous, mainly because humans and influenza viruses are already familiar with each other. Scientists have been studying influenza virus 10 for years. Although influenza is dangerous, we know enough about influenza virus, so we can predict the outbreak of influenza and carry out effective treatment and control.
In view of the current situation, the director of the American Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said at the press conference that although the incidence and death toll of influenza are also high, they have found out the outbreak law of influenza. He assured everyone that from March to April, the number of flu patients would decrease. Now, he said, they can predict the approximate range of seasonal influenza mortality and hospitalization rate very accurately.
