There is no need to panic if you are unfortunate enough to be infected with novel coronavirus pneumonia, which is currently in an epidemic stage. The prognosis for most patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia is very good, especially for young patients with no underlying disease, who can recover from novel coronavirus pneumonia after 2 weeks or more of course and treatment. However, for elderly patients or patients with underlying diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or diabetes mellitus, the infection may be so severe that they need to be admitted to the ICU and require a series of support such as mechanical ventilation, and there is still a certain risk of death.
