On February 15, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention released the latest “National Novel Coronavirus Infection Situation”.

The report shows that the number of COVID-19 positives has experienced a fluctuating decline since reaching its peak (6.94 million) on December 22, 2022. On February 13, 2023, the number of positive cases of the novel coronavirus was 8847.

The trend of this decline is gratifying. So, is the coronavirus pandemic over?

1.The epidemic is not over. It’s just that people will be relatively safe in the next 3 to 6 months.

Judging from many places abroad, the novel crown epidemic will not disappear so easily.

Li Tong, Chief Physician of Infection General Department of Beijing You’an Hospital and Medical Expert of Xiaotangshan Mobile Cabin Hospital, once said in an interview, “After being infected, our antibody level is relatively high, and the virus has not mutated too much, so there is no new peak of the epidemic, but we still don’t know yet when the next wave will appear.”

“Vulnerable groups especially need to pay attention to self-protection. The general protection period after infection is 3 to more than 6 months. People with good immunity can enjoy a protection period of more than 6 months; people with poor immunity may only get a protection period of 3 months. But within 3 to 6 months, we are relatively safe, unless the virus undergoes particularly significant mutations.”

As far as the incidence of infectious diseases is concerned, one depends on one’s own immunity, and the other depends on the pathogenicity of the virus. At present, the pathogenicity rate of the virus is declining. Therefore, to avoid diseases, one depends on one’s own immunity.

2.How can vulnerable populations boost their immune systems? Sufficient healthy qi inside the body will prevent invasion of pathogenic factors.

So far, there is no specific drug that can kill the novel coronavirus.

And the purpose of the virus is not to defeat human beings, “the virus just wants to replicate itself, spread itself, and complete its mission of spreading.”

At this time, it is necessary to achieve what is often said in traditional Chinese medicine, “Sufficient qi inside the body will prevent invasion of pathogenic factors”!

“Healthy qi” refers to the immunity of the human body, and “pathogenic qi” generally refers to viruses and bacteria that invade the human body. As long as “the pathogenic qi in the body cannot overwhelm the healthy qi”, the human body will have strong disease resistance!

But there are many factors that affect immunity. Factors such as mental stress, anxiety, overwork, malnutrition, sleep disorders, lack of exercise, aging, disease and drugs can all cause a decline in immune function. Therefore, improving immunity is long-term work that goes deep into daily life.

3.Reishi mushroom has the function of strengthening healthy qi and securing the root.

Ganoderma lucidum is the only top-grade medicine that can enter the five meridians of the human body among thousands of Chinese herbal medicines.  It greatly benefits the overall regulation of the original qi of the human body. It can help the body to detoxify and strengthen healthy qi at the same time. Traditional Chinese medicine achieves the purpose of curing diseases through the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum to strengthen healthy qi and eliminate pathogens.

Lin Zhibin, a professor of Peking University School of Medicine, said in the live broadcast room of “Sharing Insights of Renowned Doctors”, “In this epidemic, some people who took Ganoderma lucidum had mild symptoms even if they got sick. This may be because Ganoderma lucidum has boosted the immune system and suppressed the virus, achieving the TCM saying that sufficient healthy qi inside the body prevents invasion of pathogenic factors”.

Practice has proved:

1. Ganoderma lucidum regulates immune function: through immune regulation, it can inhibit the inflammatory response and autoimmunity caused by excessive immunity.

2. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide has antiviral effect in vivo and in vitro: it can reduce the content of virus and is non-toxic to the host.

3. The small molecular protein of Ganoderma lucidum acts on the host cell angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, affecting the binding of the novel coronavirus spike protein to the host cell.

4. Ganoderma lucidum enhances the effect of virus vaccines: this is also “strengthening healthy qi ” in traditional Chinese medicine.

Will a new infection peak come? when will it come? We don’t know. But the only certainty is that in the days of coexistence with the virus, resisting the virus depends on one’s own immunity!
