At the beginning of 2020, a COVID-19 suddenly came. Because of its long incubation period and strong infectivity, the number of patients has increased rapidly. Fortunately, China made the fastest anti-epidemic response, and the thunderous measures and selfless dedication of medical staff saved many diseases and avoided a wider range of infections. This COVID-19 reminds me of the spring of 2003. At that time, it was also overnight, and I felt that SARS suddenly came. There was a time when white vinegar was expensive and Banlangen was robbed. With this topic, let's take a look at the specific situation of SARS at that time.

According to my personal memory, I know that SARS was near the Lantern Festival in 2003. I was a sophomore that year and my winter vacation was not over yet. On the sixth day of Lunar New Year, at the invitation of parents, I went north to Fuzhou as a tutor in advance. There were no cell phones at that time. When I call home every few days, my parents tell me that I can't buy white vinegar and Radix Isatidis. I only know that there is a disease called SARS, which is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate. After returning to school, I began to take my temperature twice every morning and evening and disinfect my dormitory every day. There is no such thing as a mask for everyone, but the whole campus atmosphere is still a little depressing. The only thing that has the greatest impact is learning to swim fast, so much for it, because SARS won't let you swim in the water. It is estimated that it is the only year in Southern University that there is no compulsory swimming performance.

Now let's see what SARS is. SARS, abbreviated as SARS, is an acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV. Like COVID-19 now, it is a disease caused by coronavirus, and its transmission route is very similar. They are all in direct contact with the respiratory secretions of patients or spread through droplets at close range. At that time, the source of infection was civet cats, a disease caused by wild animals. The lessons learned from illness are always worth remembering. Because SARS first broke out in Guangdong, it was named after our academician Zhong Nanshan. Sars? This is what we call SARS.

SARS cases first appeared in June 2002 +065438+ 10, which occurred in Foshan, Guangdong. Then from June 1 1 to March of the following year, SARS began to spread to Hong Kong, Macao and some southeast countries because there were many businessmen in Guangdong. In March 2003, the SARS epidemic broke out all over the country, and Beijing was the most serious. In the summer of 2003, the number of people infected with SARS decreased day by day, and the epidemic situation of SARS was completely controlled. However, SARS still infects many people all over the world, with 9 19 deaths. Looking back now, SARS was terrible, but COVID-19 was more turbulent, with more infected people and more deaths. We should take all kinds of epidemic prevention measures seriously to ensure the safety of ourselves and people around us.
