Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

SYMPTOMS

A novel coronavirus causing pneumonia has been detected in Wuhan, China. Symptoms range
from common to severe respiratory illnesses and include:

 fever
 cough
 difficulty breathing
 pneumonia, kidney failure and death in severe cases

If you or household members have traveled overseas or come back from China, Hong Kong,
Macau or other countries confirmed with having the Coronavirus and/or where there is a related
travel advisory1 and develop symptoms of 2019 novel coronavirus infection, avoid contact with
others and follow-up with your health care professional.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

There is currently no vaccine to prevent 2019-nCoV. The best way to prevent infection is to
avoid being exposed to this virus. Preventative measures include:

 Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
 Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
 Avoid close contact with people who are ill.
 Stay home when you are ill.
 Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then immediately throw the tissue in the
garbage and wash your hands.
 If you don’t have a tissue, sneeze or cough into your sleeve or arm.
 Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

TREATMENT

There are no specific treatments for coronaviruses, and there is no vaccine that protects against
coronaviruses. Most people with common human coronavirus illness will recover on their own.

If symptoms are worse than a standard cold, please see your health care practitioner. They can
relieve symptoms by prescribing a pain or fever medication.
You should also:

 drink plenty of fluids
 get rest and sleep as much as possible
 try a humidifier or a hot shower to help with a sore throat or cough

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Coronavirus infections are diagnosed by a healthcare provider based on symptoms and
laboratory tests. Travel history is also important. There is a specific test for 2019-nCoV to
confirm the infection if it is suspected.

Testing is being conducted at the Public Health Ontario Laboratory in Toronto, which is working
collaboratively with the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

    • 安省今日更新, 27待查, 0疑似,2确诊。
      Status of cases in Ontario

      Every week day at 10:30 a.m. ET, this web page will be updated with the most up-to-date information on the status of cases in Ontario.
      The symptoms of the 2019 novel coronavirus, which can include fever and cough, are similar to other respiratory infections, including influenza. As a result, individuals who may simply have the flu are being tested out of an abundance of caution and in line with Ontario’s robust detection protocols. This means that most individuals who are tested are unlikely to be infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus.
      Cases currently under investigation 27 Presumptive confirmed cases 0 Confirmed cases 2

      • 这个待查数据是在增加还是在减少?
        • 总数在增加。过一阵会有新人被查。
    • 👍👍洗手强迫症此时大显神通。昨天新闻里说,安省地区目前risk 仍然很低,大家关注力不如集中在正在爆发的流感上面,已经死了上千人 +1
      • 护手液热卖。:) +1
        • 大店都断货了,前天晚上我跑到北边小镇的一家小杂货店才买到几瓶洗手液
          • 用纯白醋。二锅头也行。lol
            • 这些不管用的,已经被否了😆 99.9%的酒精 that is
      • 关键是手不要老是摸鼻子揉眼睛。手能管住问题就不大,这边人和人距离都比较大,被人一个喷嚏洗一脸的机率还很小的 +2
        • 是,可是我发现这些天一出门就觉得脸上老痒痒,控制不住想去挠挠,咋整😅这边人咳嗽和打喷嚏一般都很守公德,会用袖子捂住 +1
          • 大中小型老头乐
            • 😂👍老头乐的爪儿也得常消毒
          • 可能过敏, 花粉, 我有时候也会流泪, 所以留些口罩给特殊人士吧。
            • 有的大冬天也过敏。打喷嚏以为得流感。
        • 我改不掉,不自觉地一会儿摸摸头,一会儿挠挠脸。
        • 关键还没有人吐痰,洗澡换衣服也比较勤
        • 那些没事找人搭讪聊天的被喷一脸喷嚏的几率才大。o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o
          • lol
          • 我最近已经有所收敛了
      • 没见祖国来人因为流感抢口罩啊。。。
    • 今天上班不爽,多打了几个喷嚏,大声地咳嗽了一声。感觉好多了。
    • 这种新型冠状病毒被定义为哪一个级别,三级还是四级?有人在么?
      • 问得太专业,答不了。:)
      • 从死亡率来说,
        我估计是二级。

        埃博拉扎伊尔在非洲是50%-90%;马尔堡在西德是25%,在非洲是50%以上。这两种丝状病毒毒性接近,如果是在医疗条件好的地方爆发,估计致死率25%。都是四级。

        非典和艾滋病致死率10%+,是三级。

        新冠病毒目前看来是2%-3%,应该还到不了三级。
        • 从传播率和潜伏期来说,新病毒绝对比SARS严重。死亡率比SARS低。2级也到不了WHO宣布全世界传染病和撤侨的地步吧?
          • 传染性的角度来说分到三级也合理,而且和SARS是一个家族的。
      • 应该是level3的。见内。
        Detection of coronavirus in plasma
        Each 80 μL plasma sample from the patients and contacts was added into 240 μL of Trizol LS (10296028; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in the Biosafety Level 3 laboratory.
    • U.S. government is doing much better in public education, which includes "How to protect others"... 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Outbreak Information +1
      • 加拿大经过SARS,实际应用比美国有经验。
        • SARS: Canada 251 cases, death 43; U.S. 29 cases, death 0...

           

          • 你这张图真的说明了这个是基因病毒啊,西方国家除了中国人特多的加拿大,几乎都是0死亡,连患病的都很少,特别是俄罗斯,和中国这么近,那么多人在中国,得病的也这么少。而其他亚洲国家,伤亡就多了。
            • I have doubts about the competency of the Canadian government, just look at it now, it has little clue what to do, it sucks
              • 不用doubt了,这么多年还不知道这里的政府吗?如果发生在这里,新闻也许透明,每天给你报导,但是根本不会有措施,就自求多福吧。中国封城,这里的官员还信誓旦旦的“we are ready", 结果第一例就没被抓到,没有检验措施,什么也没有,呵呵。
                • Yet they focused on the "racism problem", unreal
