10 self-protection advice from English

Written in front: This is a translated article. I saw what Comrade 007 posted in a circle of friends this morning, so I tried my best to translate it. The level is limited, and the views inside are for side reference only. After all, the author only has SARS experience, and he was not on our front line when novel coronavirus broke out. But some suggestions, such as doorknobs and chopsticks, are very enlightening.

Regarding the tenth point about taking care of patients, we can refer to the suggestion of Academician Zhong Nanshan. Once you have a fever, please see a doctor as soon as possible without delay, otherwise, if it is true, there is a 20% chance that it will directly develop into a serious illness. I only post this article to make those friends who have a slight cough and have no contact history in Wuhan be more careful. Please don't misunderstand.

The words in () are some opinions that I really can't express, and I hope they won't affect your reading.

A more authoritative approach still depends on the Guide to Resistance published by People's Daily.

Ok, here is the text translation:

*******************************

During the whole SARS epidemic, I traveled all over China. I interviewed many people infected with the virus, many doctors and nurses who treated the disease, government officials and police, almost everyone.

But I never worry that I may be infected, even if I am in the same room with these sick patients.

That's only because I know what precautions to take. Here is 10.

Point 1, when you want to go out, put on gloves when you go out, winter wool or gloves, and make sure to hold them in your hands when you take the subway bus or in any public place.

Second, if you must take off your gloves in social situations, such as shaking hands with others or eating together, make sure that your hands don't touch your face and eyes, no matter how itchy that place is. Get your hands off your cheeks.

Remember to wash your hands with warm water and soap and rub your fingertips before putting on gloves again. Then put on gloves at this time.

The third point is to change gloves every day, clean them thoroughly and avoid carrying wet gloves.

The fourth point. It's hard to say that wearing a mask will have an effect when you go out, and it's hard to help you even indoors.

Most masks can't be used once or twice.

If you use the same mask every day, you might as well not wear it. This is really disgusting. If your mouth and nose are covered with a mask full of unpleasant smell, it will certainly attract more bacteria.

I seldom wear a mask during a flu, and I have experienced more than 30 flu outbreaks.

And the method I use is to stay away from the crowd. I keep a distance of half a meter from everyone.

If someone has symptoms such as coughing or sneezing, I will ask them to wear a mask, which can protect me from the droplets they spray.

And if they refuse, I will stay one meter away from them, or leave altogether.

Don't shake hands and hug people, politely refuse, and say that for the sake of all of us, don't keep so close when you have the flu.

I have great reservations about this. I have to say that he may be too confident, but keep wearing a mask often.

And I also found that in this catastrophe, many people around me are still too blind and confident, and too used to relying on their own experience and judgment. In the act of wearing a mask, they said it would take 12 hours to change it, or they said it would take 3-4 hours to change it online, so they would take it out once and go out again for half an hour at a time. We must be soberly aware that as long as you go out, you may carry this virus on your mask, so once you carry this virus, there is no time limit. You can still ensure that the virus is outside the mask, but if you need to wear this mask next time, the virus may have gradually eroded the imported mask in the process. Didn't you take the initiative to suck that big virus into your mouth? )

Fifth point: In your home, take all towels away from your bedroom and kitchen at once. Now you need to get new towels and make sure everyone has their own towels.

You should emphasize repeatedly that each family member can only use his own towel, and it is forbidden to touch other people's towels.

Each towel should be washed twice a week.

Wet towels can provide a very good environment for viruses, including common flu and of course coronavirus.

Point six. Watch your doorknob. If possible, try to open and close the door with your elbow and shoulder. Wear gloves to open and close the door, or wash your hands every time you open and close the door.

If someone in the family is sick, whether it is coronavirus or not, wash the door handle regularly.

Similarly, you should also be careful of things that may be used by * * *, such as stair handrails, desks, mobile phones, toys, tablets, and anything that may be used by * * *.

If you only use your personal belongings, it's fine, but if you need to hand someone else's mobile phone or some kitchen utensils or use someone else's computer, you must be careful not to touch your face and eyes, and wash your hands immediately after using these things.

Seventh, if you eat with others, don't touch the food on the table with your own chopsticks and tableware, and tell your children not to drink the leftover drinks of others.

It's too traditional for everyone to eat together, pick up the dishes on the plate with chopsticks and put them in their own bowls-don't do this until the plague is over.

You should prepare a common chopsticks or a common spoon, one for each person. Use public chopsticks for vegetables and your own for meals.

Wash those dishes thoroughly between meals, and don't go to restaurants, because the sanitary conditions there are very worrying.

Even if I did, I was still worried when I translated it. I thought it was still a hidden danger, because if a person has a potential virus, it can also spread to dishes through chopsticks. )

It's better to do it more thoroughly than to do it. Everyone will have a thorough meal sharing system. )

Eighth: Never buy or sell. Slaughter or eat any live animals yourself until you know what species the virus outbreak originated from.

Ninth, if the weather permits, open the windows of your home or workplace to ventilate your living environment. It is difficult for viruses to survive in a well-ventilated environment. Of course, if the weather outside is cold, foggy and extremely bad, then it is better to close the windows and keep warm.

10 is also the last point. If a friend or family member you care about has a fever, you must wear a mask tightly and stick one on his face when you are near him.

You must be very, very careful when changing the mask for this patient. You must think that your protection object is so weak, and this mask is full of viruses. You should put on latex gloves to pick it off, put this mask and gloves into sealed plastic bags and garbage bags and throw them into the trash can.

Wear latex gloves when washing patients' faces with warm water and soap, and wipe them with disposable paper towels or cotton swabs. After using it, throw the garbage into a sealed plastic bag, and then throw it into your trash can.

When you take care of your close friends and relatives, you must wear long sleeves to cover your body.

Wash everything these patients have touched with heated soapy water, including sheets, towels and dishes.

If there is enough room at home, be sure to put the sick person in a separate room or a corner of the room. You should put him in a comfortable place and be separated from other family members.

If the weather permits, you can open the window for ventilation, but make sure that the wind does not blow along the patient's room to other places, but blows through the patient's room from other places. Of course, don't do this if the weather is very cold, because your friends or family are very vulnerable to the cold at this time.
