CDC Seeks to Test Some with Flu-Like Symptoms for COVID-19

看了消息源,算是一个比较严肃的媒体。

和新冠肺炎相关的内容如下:

Health officials say that this is a particularly bad year for an extended influenza season since flu symptoms and some of the symptoms of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, are the same (fever, cough, shortness of breath), according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Last week, the CDC said it will begin testing individuals with influenza-like-illness (ILI) for COVID-19 at public health labs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and New York City. The CDC hopes to extend the initiative nationally.

“This is an extra layer of our response that will help us detect if and when this virus is spreading in the community,” Nancy Messonnier, MD, director of the CDC’s Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters last Friday. “All of our efforts are now to prevent the sustained spread of the virus in our community, but we need to be prepared for the possibility that it will spread.”

That said, CDC officials underscore that Americans have more cause to be worried about the flu than COVID-19. Flu activity has increased for the fourth consecutive week. So far this season there have been at least 26 million flu illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations, and 14,000 deaths from flu, according to the CDC.

只是说需要对美国的新冠肺炎病人做检测,重新确认新冠病毒流行的可能开始时间。

其他内容都是关于流感的,有一段是说今年得流感的儿童和年轻人的比例比往年多。

In addition, there have been elevated and levels of outpatient ILI, although hospitalization rates remain similar what is usual this time of the season, except that the rates for children and young adults are higher now than in recent seasons.

再看看后续的报道吧。
