In the program "news 1 + 1" broadcast on the evening of February 19, Bai Yansong reconnected with Wang Chen, vice president of the Chinese Academy of engineering and expert in respiratory and critical care medicine, 14 days later.

Covid-19 Wang Chen said that the new crown pneumonia is different from SARS, and SARS is highly transmitted and pathogenetic, killing the host very quickly and then the virus itself is not easy to survive. The covid-19 pneumonia is likely to turn into chronic diseases, like influenza, coexisting with humans. In this regard, we should make corresponding preparations from the aspects of clinical diagnosis and treatment and production and life prevention.

Yang Gonghuan, former deputy director of China Center for disease control, said in an interview with the finance and economics reporter that with the change of epidemic situation and further understanding of the characteristics of the virus, COVID-19 and humans coexist more likely.

If COVID-19 really coexists with human beings like influenza, how should we prevent it?

When it comes to determining that COVID-19 will survive like influenza in our lives, it is very important to concentrate on developing vaccines at the fastest speed. It is the first choice to reduce their risk through vaccination. But at present, there is still some time for the successful development of vaccine. When the vaccine development cycle is in years, what should we do?
