Coronavirus

The CoronaVirus is becoming a big thing. It’s scaring lots of people. At Costco they’re running out of things such as plastic water bottle cases and toilet paper. People are stocking up. Here are some ways that you can prevent from getting the Corornavirus and symptoms of the coronavirus.

Number one, wash your hands with soap and water. Get your hands wet with warm water then get soap, rub your       hands together with the soap for about 20-30 seconds. Then rinse your hands under warm water. Another way is, always wash your hands before you eat or drink. It’s best to wash your hands when you’re out in public. If you’re not able to wash your hands carry around hand sanitizer. When washing it may work better if you don’t just rub the palms of your hands together, try to wash in between your fingers. You should wash your hands after touching your phone,      because you set your phone everywhere. 

 

Number two, try to keep your hands away from your mouth, eyes and nose. You may come in contact with the coronavirus either through a counter top or a door knob. And when this happens and you put your hands by your eyes, nose, or mouth you have a better chance of getting it. If you need to touch your face try and wash your hands before doing so.

Number three, stay clear from those who are coughing or sneezing. Because the coronavirus is a respiratory system infection, coughing and sneezing can be symptoms. Additionally you just want to stay away from those who have any sort of respiratory system infection. When you sneeze in the air, it’s letting out some of the virus you have and if you sneeze on someone its putting the sickness you have one someone else. 

Number four, don’t shake hands with people, that includes high fiving even if they don’t show symptoms. People are able to spread illness even if they aren’t showing or having symptoms. To protect yourself kindly tell people that you don’t want to shake hands with them until the coronavirus is over. 

Number five, clean surfaces daily using a product that kills virus’ or germs. The coronavirus can stay on faucets, door knobs, and counter tops. To help clean the surfaces, use bleach wipes or disinfectant spray to clean these surfaces. Keep it wet with the cleaning stuff for about 10 minutes so it can effectively get rid of the virus’.

Number six, Open up windows to let fresh air in if the weather is appropriate. The coronavirus is an in the air virus, if you share a room with a sick person it’d be best to open up a window. If you’re not able to open up a window an air conditioner would work, but not as well. 

Number seven, try not to eat as much food that has come from animals. The coronavirus is able to spread from animals to humans. If you do eat food that has come from animals make sure it’s cooked well so all the germs are killed. To make sure your foods are okay to eat chicken and turkey the temperature should be 165 degrees F, beef and pork should be at 145 degrees F, ground meat should be at 160 degrees F, and eggs need to reach 160 degrees F. Cook at these temperatures just in case, so you dont get sick.

Stay home if you start to get a respiratory system infection. It could be the coronavirus and it couldn’t be but its able to spread. 

 

These are ways to detect coronavirus. Make sure to take your temperature, if your temperature is 104 degrees it’s either the coronavirus or another infection. If you do have a fever it would be best to call your doctor and discuss your systems. If you have shortness of breath or trouble breathing. If you figure out that this is happening to you, immediately contact your doctor or emergency medical care. If you have a sore throat or a runny nose, that is a possibility of a symptom.  Call your doctor if you think you have the coronavirus. To test for the virus, your doctor may do a nasal swab of your mucus or they’ll do a blood test to check for the infection.

If you are sick, stay home and rest yourself. So you can stay rested to get better and so you don’t spread the sickness you have. You’re always able to use a humidifier to thin your mucus and clear your nose a little bit. Also consume lots of fluids like soup, hot drinks, and water. Just stay hydrated.

Try not to worry so much about it if your not at much of a risk. Fake news about the coronavirus has made unnecessary fear. Just because the virus started in china, it doesn’t mean that we should treat the Asian people different. 

 

Those are the symptoms of the coronavirus and ways you can prevent it.
