From 2 cases positive for corona virus in Japan: Lessons to avoid panic for Vietnamese people

The World Health Organization (WHO) has just officially declared a global emergency because the new strain of the virus belongs to the family Corona (nCoV).

In parallel with this event, a number of websites are constantly updating the number of people infected and sick. According to data from February 2, 2020, the number of confirmed cases is increasing, to 12037, while the number of deaths is 259 people and is still mostly occurring in China.

Japan also reported 20 cases of nCoV infection and no deaths were reported. More noticeably, on January 30, Japan confirmed that 2 people were positive for Coronavirus but did not show any signs of infection. This discovery was a coincidence, when all 206 new Japanese people were sent home from Wuhan (China) for testing.

What does this mean?

So we can carry the virus but it's nothing ! It is similar to the common cold, even influenza / influenza has many "infected " cases and is still healthy. So, "virus infection = death" is a deadly thought, and . ridiculous.

The death rate due to nCoV is estimated to be 2.3% at this time. This means that the majority (> 97%) of the patients pass by and may recover on their own, actually thanks to their own immune system . The cells in the immune system will help the body identify the virus as a "stranger", and will fight back, effectively eliminating it after a while. The immune system has been able to do this for many generations, only many of us are "panicking", not realizing our own internal strength .

Therefore, the virus can infect people but will be prevented by the immune system, resulting in many cases with only mild symptoms such as the common cold (fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose), even without symptoms. proof. Do not rush to believe that using anolyte or hot pot leaf drink will help cure the disease, because most of us will recover by internal strength.

However, what we need to worry about is " accidentally firing germs at people with weak immune systems " and indirectly causing them harm. According to current analysis, people over 65, with a history of smoking, have chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cirrhosis, . are at a higher risk of death when get sick. Just like seasonal flu, the "weak immune people" will face catastrophe because quite a lot of "healthy people" of us "are infected with the virus" but still go to the gym, cough / sneeze carelessly and smear badly.

Japanese NHK World media reported on cases of Corona virus infection in this country.

Therefore, do not be afraid of being infected . poor, but think about "holding yourself" so that even if infected, the virus will not infect others.Recommendations for politeness when coughing and washing hands properly . of CDC, WHO and the Ministry of Health, in general, also want the community to strictly implement "what to do" like other seasonal flu.

This year, the content is particularly important because nCoV is spreading faster, and may take longer than previous cult strains like MERS-CoV and SARS.

However, no matter where the virus is spreading, damaging so many cases, our prevention has not changed . Prevention and vigilance of the disease is necessary, but people should not be too frightened, resulting in chaos and improper application of necessary measures.

Hopefully, with the aforementioned analysis, readers will have more right views on the "new life" coronavirus, realize their internal strength as their own immune system and reassure each other to reduce anxiety, take time. for the proper prevention. I believe this epidemic will be controlled by the power of each individual and the whole community.
