NOW
NOW TO
NOW TO THAT HAFLER ABOUT THE CORONA VIRUS WE'VE LEARNED TODAY THAT ANOTHER
PERSON HAS DIED FROM THE VIRUS.
HEALTH OFFICIALS AROUND THE
WORLD ARE ON ALERT. THE VIRUS
HAS SPREAD TO FIVE COUNTRIES
INCLUDING 4@THE UNITED STATES A
DR. DALIYA ACCOUTNED AN 4@
PHYSICIAN WITH HELE4@N DAVOS
CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IS HERE TO
ANSWER SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS
ABOUT THIS NEW VIRUS. FIRST OF
ALL WHAT CAUSES THE CORONA 4@
VIRUS AND HOW DOES IT SPREAD.
WELL THE CORONA VIRUS 4@IS THE
CAUSE OF THE INFECTION. IT'S A
IT'S A RESPIRATORY VIRUS THAT
CAUSES THE COMMON COLD AND
THERE'S MULTIPLE TYPES OF IT
THAT CIRCULATE EVERY YEAR AND
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT GET
THE COMMON COLD FROM AND WE
4@ NEVER EVEN 4@KNOW THAT. WHAT
MAKES IT SO SEVERE THIS YEAR
THAT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THIS
PARTICULAR ONE IS A NEW ONE
THAT FIRST APPEARED IN CHINA 4@
AND HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS
TYPE OF VIRUS BEFORE 4@LIKE THI
STRAIN OF IT THIS STRAIN OF IT @
IS NOVEL SO IT'S NOW BEEN
LABELLED NOVEL CORONA VIRUS
2019 4@BUT OTHER CORONA VIRUSES
HAVE CIRCULATED RECENTLY 4@SUCH
AS THE STAR'S CORONA VIRUS BACK
IN 2003 AND THE MURS CORONA
VIRUS BACK IN 2014. NOW THAT WE
HAVE IT HERE IN 4@THE US DO WE
NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT
SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE US A
GREAT QUESTION AND WE ALWAYS
WORRY ABOUT THE SPREAD OF
INFECTIONS WHEN THEY ARRIVE.
HOWEVER THIS ONE 4@4@WE DON'T Y
KNOW HOW CONTAGIOUS IT IS. AND
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN LIMITED
TO THIS ONE TRAVELER AND PEOPLE
WHO HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THIS
PARTICULAR AREA OF CHINA 4@AND
THINK WHENEVER WE SEE SOMETHING
SPREADING LIKE THIS IT'S
SOMETHING WE'VE 4@SEEN FOR THE
FIRST TIME PEOPLE GET VERY
ANXIOUS ABOUT WOW WHAT IS THIS @
GOING TO DO WE GET WE FORGET
THAT WE HAVE THE FLU EVERY
SINGLE 4@YEAR CIRCULATING AROUN
THE WORLD. SO WHAT MAKES THIS
SO MUCH MORE CONCERNING THEN
THAN THE FLU VIRUS. I THINK
THAT YOU 4@HAVE AN EXCELLENT
POINT THERE THAT WE SHOULDN'T
BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FLU
EVERY 4@YEAR THOUSANDS OF PEOPL
DIE EVERY YEAR FROM FLU VIRUS
AND I THINK THE THE CONCERN 4@
FROM THIS ONE IS THE NOVELTY OF
IT. AND WE DON'T YET KNOW THE
EXTENT 4@AND THE SPREAD AND
THINGS LIKE THAT. SO MORE SO
FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE 4@BUT I
THINK IN THE VIEW OF CORONA
VIRUS AND FLU THEY'RE 4@
RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS THAT CAN
CAUSE INFECTION AND THAT ALL
THE PREVENTATIVE 4@MEASURES THA
WE TAKE FOR FLU IN TERMS OF
GOOD HAND HYGIENE AND LIMITING
CONTACT AND STAYING HOME WHEN
WE'RE SICK 4@ALL THOSE APPLY TO
CORONA VIRUS AS WELL. NOW 4@THE
MAN IN WASHINGTON STATE WHO HAD
THE CORONA VIRUS WAS
ASYMPTOMATIC WHEN HE GOT OFF
THE PLANE HE DIDN'T REALLY
START FEELING THE SYMPTOMS
UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK LATER. IS
THAT CONCERNING AND IF SO HOW
DO WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE CORONA VIRUS AND
THE FLU. SURE. THE INCUBATION 4@
PERIOD HOW LONG4@ IT TAKES FROM
THE TIME THAT YOU GET INFECTED
WITH CORONAVIRUS VERSUS THE
TIME THAT IT TAKES TO ACTUALLY
START SHOWING SYMPTOMS IT TAKES
MAYBE ANYWHERE FROM A 4@COUPLE
DAYS TO UP TO 14 DAYS FOR SOME
OF THE CORONA VIRUSES 4@SO THIS
WOULD THIS WEEK LONG LAG IS NOT
OUTSIDE 4@OF WHAT WE WOULD HAVE
EXPECTED THE SYMPTOMS THAT
WOULD BE DIFFERENT 4@FOR FLU
WOULD BE MUSCLE ACHES HEADACHES
JUST IF YOU THINK ABOUT ALL
THOSE FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS YOU
DON'T NECESSARILY GET THAT WITH
CORONA VIRUS AND IF YOU HAVE
PEOPLE TRAVELING 4@THEN INTO TH
COUNTRY FROM THIS PARTICULAR
PART OF CHINA AND THEY'RE 4@
GETTING SCREEN4@ED HOW DO WE KN
THAT THEY'RE NOT SCREENING THEM
SAYING OK YOU'RE FINE MOVING
THEM ALONG AND THEN THEY SHOW
UP WITH SYMPTOMS LATER BUT WE
DON'T. AND 4@THEY VERY WELL COU
SHOW UP SYMPTOMS LATER WHICH IS
WHY IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
STAY VIGILANT 4@THAT IF YOU HAV
TRAVEL TO THIS AREA THAT YOU
THEN IF YOU'D NOTICE SYMPTOMS
THAT YOU SEEK HEALTH IT SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION 4@RIGHT AWAY
JUST SO THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY
PATIENTS WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN
EXPOSING MIGHT HAVE THE VIRUS.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH
