coming up in this video we're gonna be talking about the coronavirus as you may
already know the World Health Organization have now announced the
coronavirus as a global health emergency the number of deaths and infections are
rising very quickly and show no sign of slowing down anytime soon we definitely
hope it goes down but it is advised to stay prepared the corona virus also
known as n cough 19 has already killed more people than the SARS outbreak it
killed more people than the SARS outbreak in two weeks with a total of
490 deaths recorded in China as of today compared to 349 deaths in three months
from the previous saws outbreak China is taking massive precautions to make sure
this virus is contained by producing one of the biggest lockdowns in history to
prevent the outbreak however the only problem is that there are many people
that have already gotten infected outside China there is a recorded number
of around 28 countries currently infected with the corona virus and
what's very dangerous about this virus is the two-week incubation period so
what that means is you can become infected with this virus and you will
not show any symptoms of having a virus until two weeks passed by and scientists
have shown that people are infectious even before the symptoms appear so that
means that there could be many more cases than what are recorded right now
and the virus could be spreading without anybody knowing because there could be
many many people with this virus outside of China that are currently spreading
the virus without them even knowing that they are infected as they will only be
seeing these symptoms after two weeks but prior to the two weeks they are
infecting many of the people they come in contact with the only problem with
viruses like this is that scientists anticipate that it will take around one
year to manufacture a vaccine for the virus at the rate this virus is
spreading right now one year is way too long to get this far as contained so I
don't know if you've ever heard about the compound effect but based on the
compound effects if you have one penny and you double it 30 times you end up
with 10 milli now of course the infected are not
doubling every day but the more people are infected the faster the increase
happens scientists are hoping to find a cure within six months for this farce
but that is not guaranteed and it usually takes longer than six months but
if you look at previous outbreaks like SARS there is currently no cure for SARS
research to find a vaccine is still ongoing for sauce
SARS is caused by a corona virus known as SARS cough which is the same type of
virus in the end of xix okay so now if we look at China China are currently
dealing with the situation very well they built a massive hospital in ten
days they shut down all transport in China and they put some cities in total
lockdown they are trying their best to contain this virus they are cleaning
everything very routinely to help this prevent from spreading and almost all
citizens are using masks they are not allowed to go out in the street and if
they go out in the streets they better have a good reason people driving in
Wuhan without a good reason get their license taken from them and
Wuhan is currently like a ghost town so the question is are other countries
prepared to deal with a virus of this type I doubt that many countries can
mimic China's efforts in stopping this virus so the best thing you could do for
yourself is to be prepared as Desiderius Erasmus said prevention is better than
cure and as the well-known Ben Franklin said
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
this is very valuable wisdom if you can prevent yourself from getting the virus
that's much better than trying to cure it after you get it so I did lots of
research to help protect you from this corona virus because if you are not
fully prepared and panic hits the country all shelves are going to be
empty in no time and all masks will also be selling out very fast most countries
don't have a supply of masks that is enough to sustain a whole country so if
you have a family and are worried make sure to take these steps now while we
still have the movies advantage so first of all is make
sure to stock up on food in worst case scenario you will have your own stock of
food and you won't be worrying about fighting over food and if everything
goes fine you will have a stock of food and you don't have to go shopping every
day and you should end up eating it anyways so it's a win-win situation so
in this day that it becomes an emergency and everybody's panicking and they all
want to buy their stuff it's gonna be really hard to stock up well at that
time doing it before then is gonna be a better option okay so now that we're
done with that we're gonna go for the next steps to prevent yourself from
getting the virus so there are many speculations on how to prevent yourself
from getting a virus the corona virus is an airborne virus it will usually spread
by coughs and sneezes people who get this virus are usually coughing a lot so
if you know a patient that has this virus make sure to stay away at least
one meter or more from him that will help reduce the odds of getting the
virus and now let's say you are going to public transport and you want to make
sure that you are safe then you better invest in a mask so there are many
different types of masks and surgical masks won't really work the normal masks
that doctors wear don't really do much to stop small particles of viruses now
where they do good is if someone is infected and he wears them it lowers the
chance of the virus spreading out of it but in the case of you preventing
yourself from getting it in the first place it is recommended to use an n95
mask or an n100 mask now please know that I am no doctor but n95 masks filter
out 95% of all micro bacterias and viruses they are the most commonly used
in this situation and most doctors in wuhan are going for the n95 masks so you
should definitely learn from the doctors who are preventing themselves from
getting it and n95 mask is going to be your best option and if you want to be
extra careful the end 99 and 100 are going to provide even a higher
percentage of protection so n95 is going to protect you from ninety five percent
and ninety nine is ninety nine percent and 100 are going to protect you from
99.5 percent of viruses the only problem is that 99 and 100 respirators are
usually more expensive than the n95 okay now there's also something called
p95 respirators the P respirators aren't really recommended for you because they
are used for preventing oil so the p95 respirators are going to have an added
protection against oils however this virus is not an oil and
those are usually used for manufacturers and companies and please know that this
mask is not broken and protects you 100% from this virus but it will vastly
reduce the chance of it happening I will leave some links in the description if
you want to check those out the other thing is going to be eye protection so
as we said earlier it is an airborne virus so these when somebody coughs
these particles fly in the air so if you inhale them you might get infected so
with the respirator mask you cut down the percentage of that happening a lot
but and then you have your eyes you may have not heard this before but your eyes
are connected to your sinuses so you could basically also get this virus
through your eyes so make sure to get some eye protection to be on the safe
side and then if you look at the doctors they also use full hazmat suits but if
you only need that if you know that you're gonna have to deal with people on
a daily basis with the virus or something now the most recommendations
are going to be like the general flu make sure you wash your hands frequently
don't touch your face while you're out and about because when you touch things
you might touch something that has the virus on it so don't touch your face
because I will easily transfer it to your mouth or nose or eyes and that's
another reason why masks lower the chances of you getting the bars because
then you want touching your mouth or nose and make sure to use extra
precaution when using these masks it is usually recommended to keep them on for
the whole duration of that say you going out of the house it is not recommended
to take them off and put them back on and take them off and put them back on
because that will just defeat the purpose you can search for videos about
how to use these correctly and they will show you how to wear them and how to
clean them after use as for washing your hands it is recommended to have an
alcohol-based soap and of course to prevent yourself from spreading this
disease to others make sure you always cover your mouth when you cough with a
tissue or with your elbow and then throw that away I will link a booklet in the
description that will teach you how to cut the chances of this spreading and
how to maintain full health precautions nothing is obvious about this virus
right now but it's always better to be safe rather than sorry if you look at
the Chinese right now they are currently running out of masks and all citizens
are queuing up to go buy their own masks and there aren't enough mass to supply
the whole country and even many foods are off the shelves and out of stock so
that is just something to be aware of I definitely hope that this doesn't spread
very fast and it doesn't become bad but if I were you I would make sure to take
precautions because no one knows what will happen no data about this virus is
very accurate yet because people are just getting infected and you can't know
what the death rate is because it takes a while for people that are infected to
get serious fateful problems so it doesn't seem to about right now but in
the near future it could ring alarms and of course just like the common cold this
virus spreads via droplets or when a person coughs or sneezes so it could
also be spread when someone touches a contaminated surface like a door handle
so that's why you should always be aware not to touch your face and to wash your
hands properly the origin of this virus is yet unknown but it is thought to be
from seafood markets in Wuhan which also traded in other live animals like
marmots and bats and of course if you by any chance you feel like you have any of
these symptoms of the corona virus make sure to report to authorities as soon as
possible and your authorities should definitely know how to deal with this
type of situation they would have quarantine rooms so that you don't
spread it to your family and they will take care of you to make sure everything
is up to tip-top performance do not go to a hospital unannounced because you
may spread it to other people around you may spread it to the doctors make sure
to call any authorities in your country and they will provide you with the next
steps and good luck in the future and I hope this virus just becomes a meme and
nothing serious happens I'm not spreading rumors and fear I am just
telling you what the data says what we got right now and it is your right to
know what is happening and hopefully I armed you with knowledge to deal with
the situation better so make sure to check the booklet in the description
that will explain how to prevent getting a virus and it's a very good advanced
booklet that will tell you how to clean objects in your house how to make sure
you prevent it from getting to you and it will give you all the necessary
precautions to protect your family I will also link the masks and the
goggles in the description so with luck and have a nice day
