New York City Officials Prepare For The Coronavirus | NBC News NOW

President Trump theorized that by April, when it miraculously warms up, the

coronavirus

could disappear. Now, the virus we are talking about has to know, many people think that this disappears in April with the heat, as the heat arrives. usually that will go away and in April we are in very good shape. I think it is dangerous for any of us in public life to seek to replace doctors who know best and publish theories that might actually cause people to underestimate the problem they bring us. up to date on where we are in New York City with preparation and prevention for the virus novels, we don't know exactly how people get this, we don't know the full effect, but I'll tell you what, we have an extraordinary public health apparatus here in New York City and what became clear to me was that it was really about telling the people of our

city

that this is something we can handle, but you have to follow the basic rules that we verified with those health

officials

to see how The looming threat of a corona virus outbreak has affected your daily responsibilities.

What does the average New Yorker need to know about the current virus? The risk to New Yorkers here remains very low, but the

city

is

prepare

d and very

prepare

d to respond if the situation escalates, the press published a proclamation to quarantine all people coming from WHO by province for 14 days and then the rest of mainland China would do home quarantine and what I've been doing to support the Department of Health. With this, we have identified a quarantine facility where we can transport passengers and then we have put together and helped design a plan to support all the comprehensive laundry services and feed anything they may need while they are in that quarantine situation, our next stop.

It was the esteemed Bellevue Hospital Center where we learned about the differences and similarities between the

coronavirus

and traditional strains of influenza. Kota virus is part of a family of known viruses. There are four strains that we commonly see here in New York City and across the country. What caused the flu and the symptoms may be very familiar? If you have traveled to affected areas in China and are not feeling well and have returned within the last 14 days, call your healthcare provider and get tested. What does the mask do to protect the person and how does having a mask in place not protect them but prevent them from spreading the virus to others?

How are you helping New Yorkers prevent the stigma associated with this infection? This outbreak is due to a virus, it is not due to a group of people. Fear is not an excuse to spread, spread further, and spread misinformation. Finally we spoke with special pathogen expert Dr. Madan, who discussed how government support was having no effect on outbreak research, response and treatment. China closed many of its borders and the United States is doing so to some extent. What is the logic behind it working as well as we have seen historically? that these types of travel bans and restrictions have not worked because one of the things we don't want to do is take away the trust of the public and therefore if people are afraid to come forward, it becomes more difficult for public health to establish any contact.

The trace tells us a little about antiviral drugs that could perhaps treat the disease, but are not readily available for the corona virus. Unfortunately, it's one of those Is there no market for them? games. There is a big commotion at the beginning. and then it dissipates, so there needs to be political will and financial support. Could we prevent future epidemics, future special pathogens, so these types of events are natural, but what we can do is if we invest in them we can reduce the human impact. If we take into account the economic cost and the social cost that Honda takes on countries in general, then we will be able to respond faster, better and more efficiently.

This shouldn't stop you from moving on with your life, it shouldn't stop you from going to Chinatown and eating out, I'll do that today until we fully know how to handle this virus. We have to assume that he will be with us for a long time. We have to assume that he can throw us curveballs and be on alert. a city as a nation until this crisis ends.
