Recently, a dairy beverage company was fined 450,000 yuan for promoting the important role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of New Coronavirus pneumonia and citing the "Pneumonia Treatment Plan for New Coronavirus Infection" as the basis for inducing consumers to trust that its products have preventive and curative functions against New Coronavirus.

Due to the spread of delta virus in China, the prevention and treatment of new coronavirus and rapid nucleic acid test for new coronavirus are once again in the spotlight. The Internet is full of new coronavirus control and self-testing prescriptions. Today we will see if these prescriptions are really effective?

Can probiotics prevent and treat pneumonia? Is there a basis for the Pneumonia Treatment Protocol for Novel Coronavirus Infection?

Let's take a look at the original sentence in the "Pneumonia Treatment Plan for New Coronavirus Infection (Trial Version 4)" (hereinafter referred to as "Plan"): Intestinal microecological regulators can be used to maintain intestinal microecological balance and prevent secondary bacterial infections. Microecological regulators are preparations made from normal microorganisms beneficial to the host, their metabolites or growth-promoting substances according to the principle of microecology, mainly including probiotics, prebiotics, and mixed preparations of probiotics and prebiotics, such as Hibernate.

This looks as if there is nothing wrong with probiotics to control the new coronavirus.

Wrong! This is the tactic taken out of context by the businessman to promote. The micro-ecological regulators mentioned in the Program are used to fight secondary infections and enhance resistance. In the process of treating Neoconiosis, the use of antibiotics is inevitable, and antibiotics can disrupt the balance of intestinal flora. While the intestine is the largest immune system of the human body, supplementation of microecological regulators can promote the restoration of the balance of the imbalanced intestinal flora; at the same time, it enhances the resistance to foreign attacking bacteria and achieves the control of harmful bacterial populations in order to reduce the control of bacteria and their metabolites, reduce the incidence of endogenous infections, thus providing a series of effective therapeutic means for the prevention and control of infections.

In summary! Probiotics cannot prevent and control Neoconiosis, but they can strengthen the immune system! Usually drink more probiotics is also beneficial, but can not prevent and control pneumonia, still need to do protective measures!

The Internet crazy rumor that hold your breath for more than 10 seconds, no cough, depression, discomfort, then you do not have a new crown infection?

False! The method of holding the breath for 10 seconds without coughing to self-test for new coronavirus is based on clinical symptoms of lung disorders. Generally speaking, infection with new coronavirus pneumonia will show symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, but not all patients will show respiratory symptoms. Most mild patients or those diagnosed early in the infection present with only low-grade fever and mild malaise, with no pneumonia manifestations.

Any new crown self-test method is not reliable, new crown nucleic acid rapid test as the "gold standard" of infection virus is not change, new crown nucleic acid rapid test is currently the most reliable, the most convenient way to test. It mainly uses fluorescent pcr method to detect specific fragments of nucleic acid of the new crown virus. The final determination of the results of the rapid nucleic acid test is made mainly through four processes: sample collection and preservation, sample pretreatment, nucleic acid extraction, and nucleic acid amplification and analysis.
