Sent from Iran:
My classmate’s uncle and nephew graduated with a master’s degree and work in Shenzhen Hospital. He moved to Wuhan to study the pneumonia virus. He called me just now and asked me to tell my friends: if you have a runny nose and phlegm during a cold, you cannot have the new type of coronavirus pneumonia, because coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough without a runny nose. This is the easiest way to identify. Please tell your friends that if you have more information about medical knowledge, you can be more aware of its detection and prevention.

This time, the Wuhan virus is not resistant to heat and is destroyed at a temperature of 26-27 degrees. So, drink plenty of hot water. You can advise your friends and relatives to drink hot water to prevent it. Go in the sun. It’s been cold lately, and drinking hot water has been so convenient. It is not a cure, it is just good for the body. Drinking hot water is effective for all viruses. Remember to try not to drink ice water!
Doctor’s advice about coronavirus:
1- Its dimensions are quite large (cell diameter is 400-500 nm), and therefore any normal mask (not only N95 type) will be able to filter it. But when an infected person sneezes in front of you, they are 3 meters (about 10 feet) off the ground and therefore no longer airborne.
2- When the virus falls on the metal surface, it stays alive for at least 12 hours. So remember to cover your hands thoroughly with soap if you come in contact with any metal surface.
3- This virus can remain active on the fabric for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent can eliminate this virus. For winter clothes that do not need to be washed daily, you can put them in the sun to kill the virus.
Any symptoms of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus include:
1- This virus initially infects the throat, so there may be a feeling of dry throat that lasts for at least 3 to 4 days.
2- Then this virus enters the nasal stream, reaches the trachea and enters the lungs, which causes pneumonia. This process takes 5 to 6 days.
3- With pneumonia, fever and difficulty in breathing occur. Nasal congestion is not normal. You feel like you are drowning. If you feel this way, you can immediately seek the attention of a doctor.
About prevention:
1- The most common way to get infected is by touching common objects, so you should wash your hands frequently. The virus only lives on your hand for 5-10 minutes, but a lot can happen in those 5-10 minutes (you can rub your eyes or accidentally touch your nose).
2- In addition to washing your hands frequently, you can wash your throat in case of a sore throat to eliminate or minimize the particles (before they reach the lungs).
Take extra care and drink plenty of water.
Dispatch as soon as received.
