From February 2003, the large-scale control began in June 2003, and the complete control was in August. Atypical pneumonia has a long history, and the singer died of SARS at the peak.

However, now China people generally refer to SARS, and the international standard name is SARS. It should have started in Guangzhou in February 2002, but at that time, the disease was not well understood, so it did not attract the attention of the local government and health departments. In June 2003, the number of patients increased obviously, but it still did not attract the attention of relevant departments.

So some patients go back to their hometown for treatment, some go to Beijing and Shanghai for treatment, and some virus carriers go home for the New Year to spread the virus to people in their hometown. So in February 2003, cases of this disease appeared in southern provinces, and cases also appeared in Beijing and Shanxi. However, in order to convene the National People's Congress, the Ministry of Health and the Beijing Municipal Government adopted a resigned attitude and failed to issue early warning or take relevant preventive measures in time.

By March 2003, the death toll had gradually increased and the situation had seriously deteriorated. The state took emergency measures and the minister of health and the mayor of Beijing resigned.

20 1 3165438+1October1Science and Technology Daily reported that a SARS-like coronavirus (SARS-like CoV) with high homology with SARS virus was isolated by the stone research team of Chinese Academy of Sciences, which further confirmed that china rhino was the source of SARS virus. The research results were published online in the journal Nature. ?

However, the existing epidemiological evidence and bioinformatics analysis show that civet cats in the wild animal market are the direct source of SARS-CoV. Doesn't this contradict Shi's report? There are several sources of SARS virus. After careful study, it was found that civets in northern China did not carry SARS-CoV, and only civets in Guangdong carried SARS-CoV that winter.

This shows that civet cats may be just an intermediate host of the virus. It may be infected by Chinese bats and get the virus from them. In a word, the search for the source of SARS virus is still going on, and the complete elimination of SARS requires the joint efforts of all mankind.

From 2065438 to February 2004, Xu Dezhong and others published a paper in Medical Argument, pointing out that Chinese bat is the storage host of SARS-like-CoV instead of SARS-CoV, that is, Chinese bat is the storage host of SARS-like coronavirus.
