Zheng, a 71-year-old man in Hangzhou, was infected with the new coronavirus after turning negative, and took out health care products bought at a cost of more than 5,000 yuan from a marketing seminar, wanting to make up for the early recovery.

She told the doctor that she often goes to various health care seminars and buys some health care products every now and then. Three years ago, she ate a health product and was hospitalized for nearly 10 days with liver damage, and then started to buy these health products again after she had stopped for half a year. Last year, she was recommended a health product at a lecture and spent more than 5,000 yuan to buy a month’s supply. The price is very high, she thought she had to “use the good steel on the edge of the knife”.

Last December, Zheng was infected with the new coronavirus and had a high fever for two days, and felt poor appetite and weakness after turning negative. In order to recover as soon as possible, she took out the bottom of the box of health care products, thinking to make up for a good. But after taking them for ten days, her weakness became more obvious and she was persuaded by her family to go to the hospital for examination.
