How to ID and help prevent Coronavirus

[rayg]

This was sent to me by a friend.. Reported to come from a doctor who worked in china
. nothing confirmed but makes sense..

1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 C (79 F). It hates the Sun.

4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.

5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.

6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.

7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.

9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

10. Can't emphasize enough - drink plenty of water!



THE SYMPTOMS

1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days

2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.

3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.

4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

"...How to ID..." Um, not exactly. There have been cases of positive tests that display no symptoms of any kind.
The coronavirus is not pneumonia. Pneumonia can be caused by the virus but primarily only in severe cases though.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
The WHO says, common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

Oh and gargling with salt water doesn't prevent anything.

I would suspect they mean to gargle and spit it out to flush any virus out of your mouth out..

Bacterial soap for a virus? Heard some other experts say this; doesn't add up to me. Besides, using anti-bacterial soap kills good bacteria as well and makes one susceptible to other sickness. I prefer just plain ole soap.

If that were true, it won't survive in the human body with an average temp of 98.6 F.

Good lord can we just talk about guns.

Got toilet paper? Supplies running low, ya know!

I really wish someone would...……… I don't reply much anymore as most "discussions" are political.

Yes, I have plenty. I always but a huge package so I won't have to remember to get more later. If the national supply runs out, I still have running water and a wash cloth. ( which I use also in addition to paper)

I would in a large retail furniture store. I don't know if I'm doing any good but when I'm walking by people I hold my breath way before I get close to them and after I pass them. Then I'm keeping everyone at least an arms length away from me.

That's a good question...possibly in the open air with no body fluids to attach/feed to/on it dies and just a guess, as not a doctor, but once in the body it becomes attaches to the body system.....
