On 11 February, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tan Desai, held a regular press briefing at which he announced the official name of the disease caused by the new coronavirus:
2019 Coronary virus disease
COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019)
Immediately after, the new coronavirus that led to the outbreak also had a formal name:
SARS-CoV-2
This indicates that the new coronavirus is a "sister virus" of SARS coronavirus from a taxonological point of view.
"Transmission through respiratory droplets and exposure is the main route of transmission. The routes of transmission, such as aerosols and digestive tracts, have yet to be clarified."
As the outbreak develops, pregnant women are infected and even newborns become infected, raising concerns about the risk of mother-to-child transmission. There is not enough data on mother-to-child transmission, and no conclusion has been reached. Generally speaking, vertical transmission of mother-to-child requires a degree of viral infection in the blood, but the probability of positive testing of nucleic acid in the blood is not high. And exposure to infection in newborns may be possible.
But whether it's a clear route of transmission or a potential way to worry about it, for the average person, wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, and visiting crowded places is a clear and effective way to prevent it.
But the world is not harmonious. There are people who need liberal democracy who have to intervene in this fight against the virus!
Flexible on the basis of ensuring the health of life.
In the past few days, the global outbreak has swered two million: the total number of confirmed people exceeded 3 million, and the United States has more than 1 million confirmed. It's a scary number.
Think of it, china has 80,000 confirmed people, has been all the troops. What is that concept of 3 million? This number is very scary!
The biggest principle against new coronaviruses is to keep people at a distance. And China has done a complete test! Seal the city, the home isolation! This is the use of plundering freedom in exchange for health!
At this time, we have seen the same approach everywhere in the world. But the effect is not ideal! It didn't even work out!
In the face of sudden disasterevents, especially unknown things like new viruses, people feel nervous and panicked is a natural response. Perhaps because of this, timely and open information is the most comforting, for the help, care and treatment of infected people is also the most inspiring. The outbreak brought a variety of complex emotions and thinking, the public noise, many people in a very state of the beginning of self-isolation, or forced isolation of life, and the whole day the news of the outbreak touched the mood, some psychologists observed that many people have some kind of similar to PTSD (traumatic stress response) symptoms.
Don't take ignorance as a flag of freedom of choice! In the era of rapid global development, people-to-people contact is increasing every day! When you carry the virus to others, it is a murder for yourself and others!
Oppose work stoppage, oppose home isolation, oppose protection! It's no doubt murdering the whole world!
For the sake of your health and that of others, please do your own protection work! Don't try to murder anyone!
