Good to know.  If you've ever had pneumonia, you'll recognize the symptoms.   
   ____________________________   
      
   From someone who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China)  the   
   following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:   
      
   1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold   
      
   2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.   
      
   3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of   
   just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.   
      
   4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the   
   ground and is no longer airborne.   
      
   5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if   
   you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you   
   can with a bacterial soap.   
      
   6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill   
   it.   
      
   7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids   
   with ice.   
      
   8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for   
   5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes,   
   pick your nose unwittingly and so on.   
      
   9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm   
   water will suffice.   
      
   10. Can't emphasize enough - drink plenty of water!   
      
      
   THE SYMPTOMS   
      
   1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4   
   days   
      
   2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then   
   the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.   
      
   3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.   
      
   4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're   
   drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.   
      
   SPREAD THE WORD - PLEASE SHARE.
