What are the clinical manifestations of pneumonia and the quality of Chinese medicine for preventing new coronary pneumonia?

According to Hu Ke, an expert from the Hubei Provincial Medical Treatment Group and a professor of the Respiratory Department of Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, in order to further strengthen the joint medical treatment of novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia in Hubei Province, according to the 'Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Novel Coronavirus-infected Pneumonia' issued by the National Health and Health Commission (Trial Version 3)”, summarizing the province’s recent experience in diagnosing and treating pneumonia caused by new coronavirus infection in the whole province, especially Wuhan City, following the principle of strong operability and equal emphasis on traditional Chinese and Western medicine, formulating the “Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for New Coronavirus Infection in Hubei Province ( Trial First Edition). The clinical manifestations of this epidemic are: fever, fatigue, and dry cough are the main manifestations. Upper respiratory symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose are rare. About half of the patients developed dyspnea more than a week later, and severe cases rapidly progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, metabolic acidosis that was difficult to correct, and coagulation dysfunction. It is worth noting that severe and critically ill patients may have moderate to low fever or even no obvious fever during the course of the disease. Some patients have mild onset of symptoms, may have no fever, and mostly recover after 1 week. Regarding the discovery and reporting of cases, the 'Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment' stipulates that when medical personnel at all levels and types of medical institutions discover suspected cases that meet the case definition, they should immediately conduct isolation treatment and report to the relevant departments of the medical institution and the CDC in the jurisdiction. Medical institutions should organize consultations with relevant experts in the hospital or in the district (county) within 2 hours. If viral pneumonia caused by common respiratory pathogens cannot be diagnosed, specimens should be collected in time for pathogen detection. It is mentioned that suspected cases can only be ruled out if the nucleic acid tests for respiratory pathogens are negative for two consecutive times (sampling time should be separated by at least one day). According to Hu Ke, according to the clinical characteristics of pneumonia infected by the new coronavirus, this disease belongs to the category of epidemic diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, and its core pathogenesis is 'dampness, poison, stasis, and closure'. Among them, there are two preventive programs in traditional Chinese medicine: No. 1 prescription for pneumonia against new coronavirus infection: 3g of atractylodes rhizome, 5g of honeysuckle, 3g of tangerine peel, 2g of reed root, 2g of mulberry leaves, 10g of raw astragalus (bubble in water, replace tea, 7-10 Day) No. 2 prescription for pneumonia prevention of new coronavirus infection: 10g raw astragalus, 10g fried Atractylodes macrocephala, 10g Fangfeng, 6g Guanzhong, 10g honeysuckle, 10g Peilan, 6g tangerine peel (decoction, one dose per day, divided into two times, 7 -10 days).
