13Kviews
This set of health education illustrations amidst the recent coronavirus outbreak is in the form of a series of one-page lessons by cute animal doctors. It has been very well received in Asia, particularly in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The original version is in traditional Chinese and English, and it has been translated into many languages including Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Philippino, Vietnamese, Laos, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Spanish, French, and simplified Chinese (for mainland China).

Some countries are asking that you please do NOT go to a hospital or doctor's office. You can get advice or report over the phone - they'll come to you if you need help and will then take proper precautions if you need medical care. Strolling into A&E and risking infecting a load of already poorly people is not going to help.
Also don't use masks unless you have symptoms so that hospitals and clinics can get enough.
apparently there is an incubation period of up to 14 days while you are fully contagious without even knowing it. It is also for protecting yourself in the streets in case there are inconsiderate people like what I just mentioned.
"WHO recommends against wearing masks in community settings because of lack of evidence.2 However, absence of evidence of effectiveness should not be equated to evidence of ineffectiveness, especially when facing a novel situation with limited alternative options." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30520-1/fulltext?utm_campaign=tlcoronavirus20&utm_content=119644710&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-27013292&fbclid=IwAR2a2JLdtKpgEdllPG87psSRUpwFSGzqc7TIcf0caHTqR2Qi6KoDFzQnPik#%20
These are great. Education is always key to keeping people safe and healthy in times like these
One more detail: dry coughing - yes. But if due to a sore throat - most likely no. Corona causes problems with the lower breathing system, the throat, nose and ears are the upper system. Still, it's good to check your fever daily. (And, before someone says anything, I'm writing from Korea, so yeah, I'm right there too.)
And according to the new england journal of medicine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2002032?query=featured_home Out of 1099 COVID patients in china: Fever was present in 43.8% of the patients on admission but developed in 88.7% during hospitalization. The second most common symptom was cough (67.8%); Yet 13.9% of the patients had sore throat as a clinical manifestation.
Thank you for your comment. Coming from a front line infectious disease specialist working directly with Covid-19 patients in an infected region: We’re talking about evidence based medicine here rather than just “theories” or guesses. Indeed, dry cough and URTI symptoms including sore throat are much more common than LRTI symptoms like sputum or productive cough for the Covid-19. According to the lancet: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30211-7/fulltext - The order of the most common clinical manifestations include: 1. fever (82 [83%] patients) 3. cough (81 [82%] patients) 5. shortness of breath (31 [31%] patients) 7. muscle ache (11 [11%] patients) 9. confusion (nine [9%] patients) 11. headache (eight [8%] patients) 13. sore throat (five [5%] patients) 15. rhinorrhoea (four [4%] patients) 17. chest pain (two [2%] patients) 19. diarrhoea (two [2%] patients) 21. nausea and vomiting (one [1%] patient). LRTI symptoms are late signs.
Thanks for the information. Take care, everyone!
