YEAH.
YEAH. HOPEFULLY YOU ALL STAY HEALTHY .
GOT A BUGS?
ABSOLUTELY.
AND AS PREDICTED, THE FLU VIRUS
IS NOW INVOLVED INVOLVING ALL
THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING
KNOXVILLE AND CHANNEL 10.
AREA SCHOOLS ARE CLOSING.
CHILDREN, ADULTS BEING INFECTED@
.
PREVENTION FROM TREATMENT ARE
HOT TOPICS WHERE PEOPLE ARE
ENCOURAGED TO BE PREPARED4@ NOT
LURKING IN THE BACKGROUND AS
THE DEADLY HORN CORONA VIRUS
WHICH HAS NOW SPREAD FROM CHINA
TO OTHER4@ COUNTRIES INCLUDING
THE US.
>> AND THIS AFTERNOON CENTERS
FOR DISEASE4@ CONTROL CONFIRMED
THE FIRST PERSON TO PERSON
CORONA VIRUS CASE REPORTED IN
THE U.S. THAT4@ IS IN CHICAGO.
DR. BOB.
JOINING US NOW TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF A
PROBLEM WORLDWIDE.
THIS IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT THIS
DIAGNOSIS TODAY.
IT'S HUGELY4@ SIGNIFICANT.
>> GREAT, GREAT IMPORTANCE.
THEN THE FIRST4@ THING WE NEED O
DO THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE BALL
GAMES GOING HERE.
ONE IS THE INFLUENZA VIRUS.
I TALKED WITH MARTHA4@ BUCHANAN
HEAD OF PUBLIC SERVICE HEALTH
SERVICE AND MOTHER BUCHANAN4@
SAID HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS ARE
NOT UP IN KNOTS RIGHT4@ NOW THAT
THEY'RE NOT.
LOTS AND LOTS OF CASES RIGHT4@
NOW.
THERE ARE EIGHT DEATHS IN THE
WHOLE STATE OF TENNESSEE.
THEY'RE ALL CHILDREN FROM THE
FLU.
NORMALLY EVERY YEAR THE FLU BUG@
CAUSES UP TO 10 TO 400004@
DESTINED TO 40000 AS THE FLU
VIRUS IN THE UNITED STATES.
>> SO WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT
WE'RE4@ UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
FLU IS NOT SUCH A HOT TOPIC
RIGHT NOW AS EVERYBODY IS
SAYING.
>> THE REASON SCHOOLS STOP NOW
AND THAT CHILDREN OUT IS
BECAUSE4@ THIS IS THE TIME WITH
THE GREATEST SPREAD.
>> SO IF THEY4@ HAVE PEOPLE OFF
ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THEN
THEY'RE OFF SATURDAY, SUNDAY
AND THEY DON'T SPREAD THE
INCUBATION PERIOD4@ OF THE FLU
VIRUS.
THAT'S THE INFLUENZA FLU VIRUS
IS ONLY TWO TO 18 HOURS TO TWO
THREE DAYS.
SO IT SPREADS REALLY EASY AND
IT SPREADS ALL OVER.
SO WE4@ LET THE SCHOOLS SANITIZE
THEMSELVES.
VERY GOOD CHECK.
NOW LET'S GET BACK TO THE
PROBLEM OF THE CORONA VIRUS.
THAT'S THE OTHER BALLGAME.
IT'S NOT THE FLU4@.
IT'S A VIRUS.
IT'S A VIRUS THAT IS4@ NORMALLY
FOUND BUT IT DOESN'T4@ SPREAD
FROM PEOPLE4@ TO PEOPLE.
SO IF A PERSON GETS IT, THEY4@
ARE CONTAGIOUS WHEN THEY'RE
SYMPTOMATIC.
THE QUESTION IS NOW THE
FOLLOWING YEAR IS A TWO WEEK4@
INCUBATION PERIOD.
>> SO IF SOMEBODY IS4@ EXPOSED O
THE CORONA VIRUS, NOT THE FLU
CORONA VIRUS IF THEY'RE EXPOSED
IT TAKES TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEIR
SYMPTOMS COME OUT.
>> NOW LONG TIME IT'S A LONG4@
TIME.
>> AND IN THAT TWO WEEKS THAT'S
THE KEY4@.
IF THE PERSON IS ASYMPTOMATIC4@
AND CAN SHED THE VIRUS AND4@ CAN
SPREAD THAT4@ VIRUS, THEN WE'RE
IN BIG TROUBLE IF THAT PERSON
IS SIM DRAMATIC.
SO LET'S SAY THE PERSON IN
CHICAGO THEY'RE TWO PEOPLE THE
PERSON IN CHICAGO IF THEY'RE
SYMPTOMATIC, IF THEY'RE HAVING
CHILDREN4@ COUGH, ET CETERA, ET@
CETERA AND THEY SPREAD IT TO
THE PERSON AND WE STAY TUNED TO
CHANNEL 10 TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING
IF THAT PERSON WAS ASYMPTOMATIC
THAT SPREAD IT DURING THAT TWO
WEEKS.
THE CORONA VIRUS, NOT THE FLU,
THEN WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL@
.4@
THE CORONA VIRUS, NOT THE FLU
IS IN FIVE4@ DIFFERENT OR FOUR
DIFFERENT STATES.
THERE'S SIX PEOPLE IN THE
UNITED SAY SO IT'S ALREADY
SPREAD ACCORDING TO THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION4@.
SO WE KNOW IT CAN BE SPREAD.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW FOR4@ SURE.
NOW IF IT CAN BE SPREAD BY
PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW THEY
HAVE IT, THEY DON'T4@ THEY
HAVEN'T DETERMINED THAT THIS
CASE CAN.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
AND IF THEY SHOWED THAT VIRUS
TO YOU AND ME AND WE DON'T KNOW
IT MANNEQUINS BRED LIKE MAD
EVERYBODY.
SO STAY TUNED.
WE'LL KEEP YOU.
4@WE'LL KEEP YOU SAFE HERE AT
CHANNEL 10.
ALL RIGHT.
>> GOOD INFORMATION AND4@
INFORMATION.
ABSOLUTELY.
