Everything You Need to Know About Coronavirus and How to Prevent It
ou’ve no doubt heard about the coronavirus outbreak by now that began in China, but has spread to the U.S. And you’ve probably heard that the illness can be deadly—and that face masks are starting to sell out—but you’re not sure how concerned you should really be. You need facts, and we’ve got them. Here’s an overview about what a coronavirus is, the specific details about the version of it you’re currently hearing about, how potentially problematic it is, and what you can do to protect yourself.
So is it time to freak out? No. COVID-19 may indeed become an epidemic in the future, but at this time, the actual risk to anyone in the U.S. is low. What’s more, we have no reason to believe it will cause serious infection in every person who gets it. So take a deep breath—the best thing you can do is stay informed. Here’s everything you need to know right now.
What is coronavirus?
Coronavirus (CoV) is a group of viruses that encompass everything from the common cold to respiratory diseases like SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), according to the World Health Organization. The strain of coronavirus that’s causing issues right now is called 2019-nCoV, and it’s considered a “novel” virus—it has not been seen in people before. Coronaviruses are characterized by the fact that they’re passed from animals to people. 2019-nCoV is believed to have originated at a live animal and seafood market in Wuhan, China.
What are the symptoms of coronavirus?
Coronavirus symptoms are very similar to the way you feel if you have a cold or the flu. You can experience fever, cough, shortness of breath or trouble breathing. If a coronavirus infection is severe enough, symptoms can progress to pneumonia, kidney failure and SARS; the infection can potentially be fatal.
How widespread is the 2020 coronavirus outbreak?
The World Health Organization has now declared 2019-bCoV to be a global health emergency. According to the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), as of February 25, there were 76,936 reported cases of the virus confirmed in mainland China and approximately 1,875 cases outside of it; 2,462 people have died worldwide.
The countries impacted so far are: China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Croatia, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Nepal, Oman, Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, The Republic of Korea, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam.
I think it is possible to stop it if all precautions are put in place. Secondly, it is possible to stop it if the strong stop trampling on the weak and the business behind it is reconsider and allow natural reduction in population.
Thank you very much for all your reply and comments.
My cousin in Chengdu, China, told me 2 days ago that in Sichuan province, where he lives, almost 50% of people infected with the corona virus have recovered from their illness. And the government said that the situation will be normal again in May, hopefully.
It is almost under control, and hope by the end of April, it will vanish. Read some current updates here :https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/infection-prevention-and-control
1. Stay informed on the latest developments it . 2.Follow advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority or your employer on how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
yes if we working to spot any case quickly, whilst isolating affected individuals, and following up any contacts to make sure they do not spread the deadly bug if they’ve been infected.
اكيد سوف يتراجع فيروس كورونا، مثله مثل الفيروسات السابقة (جنون البقر، الحمى القلاعية، حمى الطيور ، حمى الخنازير ...). لكن ذلك لا يكون الا بعد ان تحقق الاطراف ذات المصلحة اهدافها.
Isolation and sanitation are primary preventive measures for reducing spread. It is a Human Right to access medical care and clean water. We know how, but the Spanish Flu was 100 years ago, so people forget and become unprepared after time... Please consider, Gustav Raupenstrauch created Lysol in 1889 to end a cholera epidemic in Germany. WHO and CDC have many posters and information already prepared to share and educate the public. Things will be ok, but each of us must be responsible and care for one another. Many, many blessings.

Yes, same as previous fatal diseases; if everyone takes responsibility and stays at home. People should not behave selfishly and must think of the safety and well-being of other people.
We need to pray to God constantly to eliminate this affliction, and God willing, this disease will be gone because God is the Compassionate, the Merciful.
to stop the virus,,,,, we have to fight from the area it couldn't get in,,,,,,, surprisingly young children and and dark skin people or those live in hot areas are less affected ,,,,, we have to solve the question of why?
China’s experience in containing the spread of the new coronavirus could serve as a lesson for other countries now facing the COVID-19 pandemic, a senior official with the World Health Organization (WHO) has told UN News in an in-depth interview.
China shows COVID-19 Coronavirus can be ‘stopped in its tracks’
US president Donald Trump surprised some observers in the medical sciences world when he revealed the US Food and Drugs Administration had approved the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of the coronavirus in patients.
Sure, we need a vaccine. So far just few volunteers got the experimental Coronavirus vaccine, here is story about one of them: https://futurism.com/neoscope/interview-experimental-coronavirus-vaccine
