Corona Virus 冠状病毒

Thanks to cousin Steven Chee for the following article. I find this helpful in the current circumstance that I need to relate to my readers immediately with my own comments after that.

感谢表弟Steven Chee的以下文章。在当前情况下，我发现这很有帮助，在此之后，我需要立即通过自己的评论与读者建立联系。

“The virus cell is pretty large in size, about 400-500nm in diameter. Therefore any normal mask should be able to filter the virus out. However, when an infected person sneezes in front of you, the viruses from his mouth will take time to settle to the ground. During the time when the viruses are airborne, there is a danger of other persons being infected.

病毒细胞的大小相当大，直径约为400-500nm。因此，任何普通口罩都应该能够将病毒过滤掉。但是，当被感染的人在您面前打喷嚏时，从他嘴中出来的病毒将需要一些时间才能沉降到地面。在病毒传播过程中，存在他人感染的危险。

“If the viruses drop on to a metal surface, the viruses can live for at least twelve hours. Therefore if we come into contact with any metal surface, metal handrails, for example, we need to wash our hands thoroughly with soap and water.

如果病毒掉落到金属表面上，则病毒可以存活至少十二个小时。因此，如果我们接触到任何金属表面（例如金属扶手），则需要用肥皂和水彻底洗手。

“The viruses can remain active on fabric for up to twelve hours. Normal laundry detergent should kill the viruses. For winter items of clothing that do not require daily washing, we can put these items out under the sun to kill the viruses.

病毒可以在织物上保持活跃长达十二个小时。普通洗衣粉应杀死病毒。对于不需要日常清洗的冬季衣物，我们可以将其放在阳光下杀死病毒。

“The symptoms of pneumonia caused by Coronavirus and the sequence of infection are as follows:

冠状病毒引起的肺炎症状和感染顺序如下：

“(1) The viruses will first infect the throat. The throat will have the dry sore throat feeling which will last for three to four days.

（1）病毒会首先感染喉咙。喉咙会有喉咙干涩的感觉，持续三到四天。

“(2) Then the viruses will blend into the nasal fluid and drips into the trachea and enter the lung, causing pneumonia. This process will take five to six days.

（2）然后，病毒会混入鼻液，滴入气管并进入肺部，引起肺炎。此过程将需要五到六天。

“(3) With pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. One will feel like being drowned in a pool of water. It is paramount that we seek medical attention at this stage.

（3）肺炎会引起高烧和呼吸困难。鼻塞不像正常人那样。人们会被淹死在水池中。我们现阶段寻求医疗服务是至关重要的。

“As regards to prevention, the most common way of getting infected is by touching things in public. We need to wash our hands frequently. The viruses live on our hands for up to ten minutes but a lot can happen during this time. If we rub our eyes, for example, our eyes will be infected.

关于预防，最常见的感染途径是在公共场合接触东西。我们需要经常洗手。病毒在我们手上的生存时间长达十分钟，但是在这段时间内可能会发生很多事情。例如，如果我们揉眼睛，就会感染眼睛。

Aside from washing our hands frequently, we can also gargle our throat with Betadine Sore Throat Gargle to eliminate or minimize the germs in our throat. I hope this helps.”

From the information on the internet, Coronavirus is not as lethal as the SARS virus. But it spreads fast as there is no symptom of sickness for the first few days of infection.

根据互联网上的信息，冠状病毒的致命性不如SARS病毒。但由于感染的前几天没有疾病症状，因此传播迅速。

The advice given by most authorities is to quarantine ourselves for fourteen days at home upon our return from a country where the virus is known to exist.

大多数当局提供的建议是，在我们从已知存在这种病毒的国家返回后，在家中隔离14天。

Singapore has mastered all of her armies and her reservists to manufacture face masks and the country is able to offer all her citizens four free masks for each household. China is about to release an effective antivirus to the disease soon.

新加坡已经掌握了所有军队和后备人员制造的口罩，并且该国能够为所有公民提供每户四个免费的口罩。中国即将对这种疾病发布有效的杀毒软件
