In the past month, a new coronavirus has been spreading unchecked in the country. The new coronavirus, first discovered at the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, is one of the coronaviruses and the seventh human coronavirus that has been identified in humans. The answer to how exactly the new coronavirus, came to the human body, has not yet been reached. However, it has been determined that it is capable of human-to-human transmission and spreads with great vigor. First of all, let’s talk about the four modes of transmission of the new coronavirus: 1. Direct transmission. Direct transmission, refers to the close inhalation of the patient sneezing, coughing, talking and other behaviors produced droplets and lead to infection, is currently the main means of transmission. 2, contact transmission. It refers to the droplets deposited on the surface of objects, contact with pollutants, and then contact with the oral cavity, nasal cavity, eyes and other parts of the body, resulting in infection. 3.Aerosol transmission. When a person sneezes or coughs, the large droplets produced will quickly fall to the ground or the surface of objects. However, there are also some tiny droplets that can be suspended in the air for a period of time, i.e. aerosols. Aerosol transmission and droplet transmission is different in that the particle size of droplets is about 1-5 mm, in the contamination source of 1-2 meters in the space of the propagation, belongs to the proximity of the propagation, while the particle size of the aerosol is generally in the 0.1 mm or less, the propagation distance can be reached hundreds of meters. 4, fecal-oral transmission. National Health Commission high-level expert group leader Zhong Nanshan academician: the new coronavirus is likely to be transmitted through the fecal-oral transmission, has been found from the feces of the virus, deserves a high degree of vigilance. Fecal-oral transmission means that the pathogen passes through the feces and is dispersed into the environment, contaminating food, water and so on. Feng Luzhao, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): At present, the most important way of transmission of the new coronavirus is the proximity of respiratory droplet transmission, as well as indirect contact transmission, aerosol transmission and fecal-oral transmission needs to be further clarified. But in any case, be careful. How to protect yourself against multiple modes of transmission With so many modes of transmission, isn’t daily protection like walking on thin ice? Don’t panic, let’s listen to what the new coronavirus has to say – “Hello, I am the new coronavirus. In fact, although I am very contagious, but compared to my little friends sars, mers, lethality is not high. However, everyone still needs to be well protected oh! I myself have very many weaknesses – I am afraid of heat, ultraviolet light, concentration of 75 alcohol, chlorine disinfectant, ether and so on and so forth. As long as you catch these weaknesses and take extra precautions in your life, it’s not very difficult to defeat me!” After understanding the weaknesses of the new coronavirus, the next thing we need to do is to take the right medicine to prevent its weaknesses and transmission methods. The right medicine! Easily Beat the New Coronavirus Round 1: Direct Transmission vs. Wearing a Mask Wearing a mask, wins! Direct transmission, i.e., close inhalation of droplets leading to infection, and medical masks can block particles larger than 5 μm in the air, filtering effect ≥ 90% Special times, a mask is hard to find. If you can’t buy medical surgical masks and medical protective masks, you can also buy ordinary medical masks and n90 masks, which are better than none. Round 2: contact spread vs. diligent hand washing, more disinfection Diligent hand washing, more disinfection, win! When the patient covers the mouth and nose coughing, hands contaminated with a large number of viruses, in public places to grasp the handrail handles, and then contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, can cause transmission. Diligent hand washing can wash most of the viruses and bacteria on the hands! But note, must use flowing water, hand sanitizer rub hands for more than 20 seconds, in order to effectively sterilize oh! Round 3: Aerosol transmission vs. diligent ventilation Diligent ventilation wins! The general environment is not easy to produce aerosol particles, so the chance of aerosol transmission of infection is very small. However, it is still important to protect yourself from aerosols. Nowadays, with the strong intervention of the government, most of the people are still quarantining their homes and ventilating well. When you go out, you should also stay in places where people gather as little as possible. Round 4: Fecal-oral transmission vs. strict protection Strict protection wins! In fact, fecal-oral transmission still needs further research, but it is still important to remind. Because in Hubei and Jiangxi, some places still have the habit of using buckets. When you go out to clean it, it is possible to cause the virus to contaminate the water source. We do not need to panic, pay attention to food hygiene, disinfection of tableware, wash your hands regularly, and do a good job of protection. It has been half a month since the city of Wuhan was closed on January 23rd. Epidemic control has already had some results, and is about to start the second half of the “war epidemic”. As long as everyone does their own protection, I believe that the new coronavirus will be defeated and a peaceful life will be restored in the near future.
