在马路边修小电驴,刷手机时无意间看见一条让人震惊的新闻。
这条新闻报道说,在美国的马萨诸塞州和俄亥俄州都报告很多儿童肺炎病例。其中一个数据更是让人震惊,那就是只有20万人口的俄亥俄州沃伦县,却已有142例儿童出现了白肺。
如果这些数字是真实的话,那么无疑是必须要引起重视的疫情事件了。白肺往往意外着病情危重,也意味着较高的死亡率。如果存在这么多儿童危重患者的话,那么更多的老年人又该怎么办呢?
但是,根据国内这些喜欢捕风捉影、制造噱头、危言耸听之不靠谱媒体的尿性来判断,这条新闻的真实性是值得怀疑的,最起码是值得我们去辨别的,而不能完全相信。
当下,不仅是我们,欧美也一样,都处于流感、肺炎支原体、呼吸道合胞病毒、腺病毒等病原体的侵袭之中。原因也都一样,症状也都差不多,处置手段也几乎相同,各国也都发表了声明,并没有出现什么新型病毒。
华盛顿邮报,有一篇文章是这样说的:
“Health authorities are monitoring an outbreak of pneumonia in children in an Ohio county, stressing it appears driven by familiar pathogens with no connection to pneumonia clusters in China and parts of Europe.
Officials in Warren County, which is in the Cincinnati area, reported 145 cases of pneumonia in children ages 3 to 14 since August. The caseload is higher than normal and reaches the state’s threshold for an outbreak, but there have been no deaths or evidence of increased severity, officials said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been in touch with Ohio officials and is also monitoring the increases in respiratory illness among children, including potential elevated rates of pediatric pneumonia, in parts of the United States. Officials said the reported trends do not appear to be due to a new virus or other novel pathogen, but instead attribute the increases to several viral or bacterial causes expected during the respiratory illness season.”
大概意思就是:俄亥俄州一个县的儿童肺炎疫情是由熟悉的病原体引起的,与中国和欧洲部分地区的肺炎集群无关。来自沃伦县的报告称,自8月以来,3至14岁的儿童出现了145例肺炎病例,并没有死亡或严重程度增加的证据。美国CDC报告说导致这种情况的原因也并不是由一种新病毒或其他新病原体引起的,依旧是那几种常见的病原体。
当地的一名医生是这样说的:“We have no evidence whatsoever of any connection to any outbreaks statewide or internationally。”没有证据表明和周边或国际范围内的疫情有关。
而且在另外一篇报道中也有这么一句话:“Doctors have recovered three pathogens: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, streptococcus pnuemoniae and adenovirus. ”也就是已经能够明确的病原体是:肺炎支原体、肺炎链球菌和腺病毒。
简单的说,你看,国内这些媒体在报道新闻时,几乎不谈,这一百四十多例患者是近四个月的病例总数,也不谈人家已经明确说了没有发现新的病原体,还是这些“老熟人”,而且同国际上其它国家或地区的疫情没有什么直接联系。
所以,这种新闻看看就好了,千万不要被吓着。
