To all my friends on the internet out there.
This outbreak is a real threat. Please, for your loved ones’ sake and your own, do not dismiss its information around you. There are fake news and misleading info, but you have to take it all in and sieve it. Here are some things I highly recommend:
- This virus can lay dormant in a host for up to 14 days. During that time, the infected person can already transmit it to others. https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-d.....-coronaviruses
- It weaker when temperature is above 25 degree Celsius. Keep your surrounding ventilate and warm (it can still feed off from your cells when infected, though) https://www.scmp.com/news/china/sci.....nt-bank-summer
- But, with low temperature, it can survive for days on a surface. https://www.sciencealert.com/study-.....d-on-a-surface
- Your government WILL lie to you to keep you from panicking. I’m begging you to seek out info on other sources
Is it deadly? Yes. Can it be cured? Maybe. But to prevent is better than to cure. Here’s what you can do in the mean time:
- Practice hygiene. Wash your hand, clean your house, sanitize your surrounding. If you can’t wash your hand for some reasons, use hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol or more. https://www.propublica.org/article/.....mended-alcohol
- Wear a mask. It’s not to protect you but the people around you. Wearing a mask keeps your sneeze and other nasty body fluids from spreading around. You don’t know if you’re infected or not.
- Avoid crowded places. You can’t help going to the grocery store, but you’ll live without going to that rock concert or that comic con you’ve planned. You’ll never know if there’s an infected person there.
- Spread this! Don’t panic, but don’t be complacent either!
- Press your government to get off their asses and ACT! While doctors and scientists work on a cure, help them by hygiene discipline to prevent the virus’ spread.
