Passing this on as good information to know!

Re: CORONAVIRUS

From a graduate with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:

1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.

4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.

5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.

6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it. Sneeze into a sleeve? Wash the garment.

7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on. Adults touch their face up to 90 times in an hour

9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

10. Can't emphasize enough - drink plenty of water!

THE SYMPTOMS -

1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days

2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.

3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.

4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

SPREAD THE WORD - IF YOU CAN'T SHARE THE POST PLEASE CUT AND PASTE..

What is the source of your information? Sorry but I have to doubt it, especially the claim that a temperature of only 26-27 degrees will kill it. That is well below normal body temperature, yet the virus seems to live in the body.

That’s 26-27 C. That equals 79-80 F.

Exactly! I should have specified that we were working in centigrade. Normal body temperature is about 98F, well above that temperature.

In the body it has its host and can replicate quickly, that the original virus cells die off is of no significance.

A steel table is not a host.

Even if it were 26C, that's only 78F.
Unless it's on a surface with no moisture?
