Chinese health officials provided the requested data during a teleconference on Thursday, the WHO said. This has led to an increase in hospital admissions of children due to illnesses including bacterial infections, RSV, influenza and the common cold virus since October.
Not enough information
In the midst of all this, WHO is not in a position to say anything based on the information received from China. WHO said there is currently too little information to accurately assess the risk of these reported cases of respiratory disease in children.
What is the situation in India?
Dr. Sujith Kumar said that this time we are definitely seeing some unusual respiratory cases in our country. On the one hand the number of cases is increasing and on the other hand there is a long-standing outbreak among people suffering from this disease. For example, once a cough occurs, it takes a little longer to recover. Normally, we don’t worry too much about all these things at this time, but when we enter the hospital, we get worried.
Is there any need to fear?
Dr. Sujith Kumar said that we are all aware of the chronic covid situation in China. He said that it could also be a form of Covid. In China, it is being said that this variant is spreading rapidly, about which no one knows anything.
This step of India is commendable
Dr. Sujith Kumar said that India has taken many steps according to time. He said that an advisory has been issued to the states. We are running it in a completely scientific manner.
It’s about to spread!
Dr. Sujith Kumar said that the way children are being admitted to the hospital in Wuhan shows that it is definitely contagious. He said that it will also be seen what kind of infection there is. Is it spreading by droplet or is it coming between us and you some other way?
NCDC is doing the data analysis
Dr. Sujith Kumar said that if we talk about China, 7000 is a number, as long as we look at the number under the denominator, an epidemiological analysis needs to be done to see how big the area and how much population is 7000. . Old patterns call for and need to be epidemiology. Is the mortality rate increasing, is the complication rate increasing or is the mortality rate increasing or is the morbidity rate increasing? These are all indicators that help us analyze.
Information essential to the world
Dr. Sujith Kumar explained how this disease is trending and what form it may take in future, no disease or any symptom or any indicator should be hidden. He said that we have seen this kind of scene two or three times before in China. Where much scientifically accurate information is not available. Currently WHO is in contact with them. He said that I think there is definitely a dialogue going on between the Chinese government and WHO and WHO should inform all other countries about it.
