Following the isolation of a novel coronavirus from a stool specimen of a patient with new coronavirus pneumonia, on February 19, under the guidance of Academician Zhong Nanshan, experts from Academician Zhong’s team and the team from the State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Diseases again isolated a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from a urine specimen of a patient with novel coronavirus pneumonia. So does farting transmit the new coronavirus or not? Can people still fart comfortably? In fact, with pants on, farting will not transmit neo-coronavirus. The virus cannot survive independently of the cell, especially when exposed to nature, and will die quickly. Therefore, the virus needs a carrier to complete the transmission. Common carriers include the following droplet transmission, the carrier of the virus is a cough or sneeze droplets, droplets containing cells fecal mouth transmission, the carrier of the virus is the cells in the stool or splash out the excrement particles when flushing. In order to form “fart-to-nose transmission”, the fart needs to bring out stool, or small fecal particles, so that they can carry the virus all the way to the next person’s nose. However, few people “fart with their pants down” because their pants act as a filter, and the farts that come out of their pants are pure gas, which stinks but does not contain fecal particles. It is irresponsible to over-interpret scientific research. Some netizens’ discussion of information such as “farting spreads viruses” may be more of a tease and sarcasm. Scientific research is a rigorous matter, and a small research result should not be expanded. It is irresponsible and a very bad trend to make a big announcement when there is a slight hint. It is normal and scientifically proven that all excrement and clothing can be contaminated with virus, whether the virus is transmitted by farts or carried in urine or feces. We should pay attention to this problem and think about the next prevention and control strategy from a scientific point of view, but not to over-promote. As for the transmission route of the new coronavirus, in the latest “Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Treatment Protocol (Trial Version 6)”, it is still written that it is respiratory droplet and close contact transmission. The two main ways of prevention and control knowledge dissemination, is the most urgent. Instead of worrying about farting, it is better to protect ourselves. In conclusion, as long as we wear pants, we do not need to worry too much about microbial contamination caused by farting. Dr. Youdao Group reminds that it is important for everyone to pay attention to personal and household hygiene, such as washing hands carefully after defecating, paying attention to the smooth flow of the drain, covering the toilet seat when flushing, and changing underwear in time to avoid possible transmission. When going out, when using public restrooms, you should pay attention to personal hygiene. When using the toilet, you can first disinfect it with disinfectant paper towels or disposable toilet rim paper, and after using the toilet, you should cover the toilet lid before flushing, and then clean your hands thoroughly with disinfectant, hand sanitizer and water. You can also carry alcohol hand-free sanitizer in your own bag.
