Recently, confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia have been frequently reported in many places in China, which has attracted close attention from all walks of life. Shijiazhuang, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia and other places have seen local cases one after another, and the epidemic seems to be making a comeback. In the face of the sudden resurgence of the epidemic, people can't help but fall into confusion and anxiety - is this the reappearance of the mutation of the new coronavirus, or is it some kind of artificial poisoning by unknown forces?
For a time, all kinds of speculations arose. Some people believe that the United States released the biological **, while others suspect that the virus has mutated naturally. But on closer inspection, it doesn't seem to make sense. The United States is still struggling in the shadow of the epidemic, and urgently needs to rebuild its economy, and there is no incentive to release biological**. However, the mutation pattern of the new coronavirus is not yet clear, and it is difficult to produce large-scale transmission in a short period of time.
Just when the people were speculating and panicking, the authoritative department finally spoke out, confirming that the culprit of the high incidence of this epidemic was actually a little-known "mycoplasma". It turned out that the ** of this collective illness was not the new coronavirus, but an intermediate between bacteria and viruses - mycoplasma.
What is Mycoplasma? Where exactly does it come from? Why can it break out in many parts of the country? For a time, mycoplasma became the new focus of attention.
Mycoplasma, a class of microorganisms between bacteria and viruses, are extremely small, only one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair. It has both the complex structure of a bacterium and the ability to parasitize inside human cells like a virus. This allows it to reproduce asexually using host cells and multiply rapidly within the host, and is extremely resistant to antibiotics. Once infected, both penicillins and cephalosporins, which are commonly used, are ineffective, and only specific antibiotics such as azithromycin and erythromycin may be effective.
However, these drugs also have limited efficacy against mycoplasma. According to reports, many children have not recovered after taking medicine for a week, and there is a possibility of repeated infections. It can be seen that the harm of mycoplasma should not be underestimated.
So, why are mycoplasma blooming all over the place at this time?
According to experts, an important reason is the relaxation of prevention and control measures. People are using less masks and rallying activities are increasing, giving mycoplasma an opportunity. In addition, autumn and winter are the periods of high incidence of respiratory diseases, and the time and place are favorable, which creates the vigorous growth of mycoplasma.
But there is also the view that the mycoplasma outbreak is the result of some kind of artificial poisoning. After all, the sudden large-scale appearance of mycoplasma seems to be quite strange because there have been few records in China in the past.
In this regard, the official clarified that mycoplasma is not a new crown variant, and there is no motive to cover up the truth. At the same time, according to the analysis of pathogenic experts, mycoplasma is not a species that is easy to make biological **, and it is difficult to release it on a large scale.
In summary, this mycoplasma outbreak is most likely a naturally occurring infectious disease, rather than the product of some conspiracy or biological warfare. Still, in any case, it needs to be taken seriously. Wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and avoiding gatherings are still the top priorities for prevention and control.
We will eventually defeat this invisible epidemic, adhere to scientific prevention and control, and help each other to welcome the arrival of spring. However, the repeated reminders of this epidemic remind us that there is a long way to go in epidemic prevention, and we must not slack off in the slightest.
In the future, the emergence of new pathogens seems to be the norm. We must remain vigilant, establish and improve monitoring and early warning mechanisms, and continuously strengthen scientific research to fully respond to various public health emergencies.
It is our common responsibility to prevent the slightest problem and weave a dense line of defense against the epidemic. Let's move forward hand in hand, meet the challenges of various epidemics, protect health and protect hope!
