In this video I explain how most people stuff up their mask wearing habits. This does not substitute standard thorough medical assessment and treatment. I am not a specialist expert on coronavirus infections. The tips are based on general guidance from official advisory organizations such as the World Health Organisation. My views have no association with the views of other organizations, hospitals or health providers or academic institutions, except for the world health organization. If you have any concerns - please contact your local GP/medical practice or emergency department. As everyone may be aware, there is a recent outbreak of 2019 nCOV: Wuhan chinese coronavirus. Officials report that it may be similar to the MERS(Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) or SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). There are now confirmed cases in other asian countries as well as in the United States. The two things I am concerned about is how contagious and how lethal the virus infection is. I have recently booked flights to go to Shanghai in March and really, hoping this will resolve, or otherwise will have to cancel the flight. Wuhan is a city on the eastern front of china. The first case was reported to be linked to a local fish/meat market. It is nice to know that there are a few things everyone can do to reduce the spread of the virus infection that we don't know much about. Please share this video to let others know. All it takes is just a click It has been approximately a month since the first case was reported in Wuhan city in China. Now it has spread to other asian countries and also the United States.
