Coronavirus explained: Where it came from and how to stop it | DW News

The 2019 novel coronavirus is a WHO global health emergency. Since it began using the designation in 2005, the World Health Organization has declared global health emergencies only 5 times before. The first case of the 2019 novel coronavirus was reported in the Chinese city of Wuhan on New Year’s Eve. Now, over 30,000 people in at least 26 countries have contracted it. The vast majority of confirmed cases are in Mainland China, where the numbers continue to skyrocket, and where more than 600 people have died as a result. Border closings, suspended flights, a city-wide evacuation and quarantine make for scary stuff. So what is it we’re really talking about when we talk about the coronavirus? And what can we do to protect ourselves?

Simple the Chinese have got to stop eating everything that's flies, swims and walks. Mother nature will have its reckoning! Karma

[SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

That “600 people have died” number was like a week ago..

[wonnelzoldilock]

They say joke is funny until the joke about you then is not funny anymore,
Same goes to virus.

How they kill animals you dont want to see. I saw they were roasting a dog alive in fire, i was looking at it for about a minute when it couldnt make noise out of pain or idk and its eyes were so painfull and helpless its body was shaking heavily.
I cant forget that dog face.
They are so much inhuman non sense mean and brainwashed people.
You would want to peel thier skin alive.

[kinnyclarke]

Trust us. We're here to "help" you.

[cagamer]

It’s more then what they are saying it’s because they don’t want the world to go crazy 😂

[julioericvazquez]

“Contagion “ is a movie that came out 2011 watch it, if you haven’t yet !

[Herowebcomics]

Thank you for making this video!
It is important to know how to fight this sickness!

[colearmy]

As long as this is treatable then we are good.

[maxwellfoli]

Did you say “people can and do recover from it”?

How come that is not publicized?
How come education on how to treat isn’t also publicized as well?

[worldcitizeng]

Anyone who's been to China knows & seen how the Chinese always put their chopsticks into the dishes in the middle of the table without a serving spoon. I can imagine how the virus spread at the 1st stage in December

[MsObeyy]

“It originated from bats
*flashbacks to that one movie of a blonde girl who got sick from a bat 🦇 that did something on meat in a unsanitary restaurant while she’s out of town and ends up causing a pandemic*
Edit: contagion is what it’s called

[vxnommm]

Make sure you wash your eyes as well seeing the particles will make you sick too





(it's just a joke don't take it seriously I don't mean to offend anyone and I hope we find a cure)

[pjotrsavitski]

Did the timeline start on the mentioned date (new years eve) or did that happen way earlier and was just covered and ignored?

[Tacosyummy]

this is a scary thing and real so watch out people

[Ruthkaloki]

We should all take precautions given to keep ourselves safe

[adamtongi]

Stop eating and killing dogs. I saw one video the way they were killing dog, very disturbing and the animal right activist need to present the issue to Chinese authorities.

[baiatfitzaaa]

we stop it by not feeding our fears, i know its hard time but i we need to spread love and be there one for another and help eachother, not fear eachother...love brings life... fear not, much love and peace to all, stay blessed
