Coronavirus is just mutated type of flu virus, but very dangerous for people who's immune system is weak, so i think we must think how to increase immune system of people.

Please take a look at this RG link.

Article Corona virus. Together we can prevent its spread

We can avoid the infection by the following steps:

1 - Wearing a face mask when contacting with other peaple.

2 - Covering face and mouth while sneezing or coughing.

3 - Using a paper towel or cloth to cover face and mouth while sneezing.

4 - Washing hands carefully with soap and water after sneezing or coughing.

5 - Avoiding directly contacting with infected people.

6 - Washing our hands befor eating.

Dear Arvind @ Arvind Singh ,

Thank you for your reply and the article regarding the corona virus.

Yes, you are right. We need to work together to prevent its spread.

Much appreciated for your answer.

Coronavirus is spreading more rapidly than previously thought. As at today more than 170 death cases and more than 8000 infected cases have been reported. The numbers are increasing faster

Dear Yehya Yehya A. Salih ,

Thank you for your answer for the awareness of the public to avoid corona virus.

Your answers are more appropriate for avoiding the virus.

Thank you for your help to inform the general public to avoid this deadly virus.

Dear Chinaza Chinaza Godswill Awuchi ,

This is really a threatening and a current challenge to put control on its further spread, and also to recover the affected ones to usual normal life.

SADLY there is currently no vaccine to prevent 2019-nCoV infection. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Dear @Nirmala,

Thank you for your answer.

Precautions can save us in getting infected with this virus.

There are ways to protect the most prominent

1. Protect the person himself by following the following steps

Wash hands and face thoroughly with soap and water and ensure personal hygiene

Avoid touching the eyes, nose, or mouth if the hands are washed and sterilized well

Stay away from people with this disease or those with symptoms of influenza

2. Protect others

It is possible to limit the transmission of infection to others if they suffer from flu-like symptoms by staying at home and not communicating with others, cleaning homes and surfaces, as well as covering the nose and mouth with a special mask

It appears that Chinese authorities are worried about Chickens as vectors, and I think Dogs are another likely worry in Wuhan. Exposure to sewage contaminated water is a known hazard. Transmission by hands has been found to be a major spreading mechanism of such viruses, so improved hygiene will help.

Dear Geoff Pain,

Thank you for your informative answer. I really appreciate your contribution.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent 2019-nCoV infection. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

Eating raw garlic could avoid the risk of coronavirus.

one universal remedy is use of vitamin c

All who have been caught up in the vicinity of the outbreak should be quarantined to avoid any spread, while the disease is contained as early as possible. Then, habit is an important health determinant that should be checked by the Chinese people. There have been strange outbreaks in the past involving many deadly diseases, some of which reached epidemic proportions before the world health bodies declared emergencies, at one point or the other. Chinese should desist from consumption of the virus reservoirs. Chinese and many other races (like the people of West African countries prompting the outbreak of Ebola and its spread) should check all their habits that enhances epidemics.

To increase immune system of people, as saying previously, use any kind of agrume (citrus fruits family) or kiwi fruit, that contain Vit C , use ginger and honey. As antimicrobial plants use raw green onions and garlic alone or mixed with other meals.

New corona virus viable for up to nine days on smooth surfaces - wear personal protective equipment! Wash your hands!

A team of German scientists from Greifswald and Bochum has published a research article on the survivability of the new corona virus. This suggests that the new corona virus is viable and contagious for up to nine days on smooth surfaces.

Here is the message from n-tv:

"The novel corona virus can survive on surfaces outside the human body for up to nine days - and still be contagious, as a German research team finds out. However, the scientists are also finding a way to massively decimate the virus.

Corona viruses can remain on surfaces for up to nine days at room temperature and remain infectious. On average, they survive between four and five days, writes a research team from Greifswald and Bochum in the "Journal of Hospital Infection".

"Cold and high humidity increase their lifespan," said Günter Kampf from the Institute for Hygiene and Environmental Medicine at the University Medical Center Greifswald.

Since there is no specific therapy against coronaviruses, the prevention of infections is important. Like all droplet infections, the virus spreads through the hands and surfaces that are touched frequently.

"In the hospital this could be doorknobs, for example, but also bells, bedside tables, bed frames and other objects in the immediate vicinity of patients," Kampf said.

Together with the virologist Eike Steinmann from the Ruhr University Bochum, Kampf had compiled findings from studies on coronaviruses and their inactivation for a planned specialist book.

Due to the current situation, they published the scientific facts in advance.

They believe that their findings about other coronaviruses are transferable to the new 2019-nCoV virus.

"Different coronaviruses were tested and the results were all similar," said Steinmann. For disinfection, the researchers recommend agents based on ethanol, hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite.

If these are used in the correct concentration, they drastically reduce the number of infectious corona viruses within one minute - from one million to only 100 disease-causing particles.

If preparations based on other active substances were used, they should at least have a limited effect against viruses.

"As a rule, this is enough to significantly reduce the risk of infection," said Kampf. Other researchers had previously recommended hand washing more often. "

The above said paper is available here:

"Summary

Currently, the emergence of a novel human coronavirus, temporary named 2019-nCoV, has become a global health concern causing severe respiratory tract infections in humans. Human-to-human transmissions have been described with incubation times between 2-10 days, facilitating its spread via droplets, contaminated hands or surfaces. We therefore reviewed the literature on all available information about the persistence of human and veterinary coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces as well as inactivation strategies with biocidal agents used for chemical disinfection, e.g. in healthcare facilities. The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62-71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute. Other biocidal agents such as 0.05-0.2% benzalkonium chloride or 0.02% chlorhexidine digluconate are less effective. As no specific therapies are available for 2019-nCoV, early containment and prevention of further spread will be crucial to stop the ongoing outbreak and to control this novel infectious thread.

Some experts are very alerted that there are no news from Africa about nCoV... Africa is very much depending from China economically today but regarded as not prepared at all... 3 Options: - Nothing happens (Lucky us) - Nothing is reported (well the wave may be coming) - Nobody realizes that nCoV is happening (the wave may be coming)...

Today's situation can be seen on the WHO website here, see http://who.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/c88e37cfc43b4ed3baf977d77e4a0667

Thank you Carsten for your update to avoid the fast spreading virus. We all need to be careful.

To stress further, I think there is a covered reportage of the event in terms of the incidence rate. One of the health staff members, an insider, from China has recently hinted that the number of people affected (cases) is far close to 90, 000 and that as at more than two weeks ago against current situation considering the rapid and sharp increase in the incidence proportion.

It is well known that the most effective way to save patients with Crown Virus is to use artificial respiration, which, unfortunately, is lacking in every country. The population is quarantined in a confined space with high levels of hypodynamia, which clearly reduces pulmonary activity. In my opinion (martial arts colleagues will agree with me), using breathing exercises of any format, it is better to use those studied in karate, yoga, and others, or Kata Sanchin. Tensho or the like can greatly alleviate the disease. That is, to pass this period in a simplified form, thereby allowing the body to overcome the virus on its own.
