Does a facial mask protect me?
"No, a regular on the counter or the surgical mask will not protect you against the coronavirus because they do not unleash around your nose and your face and that you always breathe from the air around that," saysDr. Luiza Petre, a certified cardiologist of the board. "N95 masks are only for health care providers and they must be installed." If you are sick, weaken a good idea, protect those around you to get the virus.

Drinking water is going to hunt the coronavirus of my system?
NOPE. It's a myth. "Hydration is important for our health and body, but it has nothing to do with the clearance of the virus," says Dr. Petre. "All viruses are repeated inside the cells, they attach DNA, so fluids have nothing to do with the reduction of infections."
Since I am young and healthy, am I at low risk for the virus?
NOT EXACTLY. "Although it is true that the mortality rate is much higher among the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions, there is also a growing number of medical reports on young people who need hospitalization and hospitalization. oxygen support, "saidDr. Dimitar Marinov. According to a report of theCDCAbout 40% of patients requiring hospitalization had between 20 and 54 years.
Do hand dryers kill the virus?
NO! Dr. Marinov highlights the false idea that "hand dryers can kill Covid-19 on your hands, because of heat and dehydration. It's wrong. They can even increase the risk of covid-19 propagation if it is used on the hands that have not been washed or disinfected correctly. "
Will coronavirus disappear or back warm weather?
We do not know yet. "Although it is true that the cases of cold and flu tend to happen during the warmth season, we do not know yet if Covid-19 will react in the same way. It seems to spread in climates more Hot now, "says" Dr. Nate Favini. "And even if Covid-19 slows down during the hottest months, there is a chance to return."
If I'm sick, will my pet be infected?
NOT SURE. "No, until now, there is no evidence that pets can be infected. There was a reported case where the test of a dog was positive, but we thought to be contaminated by the sick owner" , explains Dr. Petre.
Does garlic prevent me from being infected?
NOT REALLY. "Garlic is known as an elixir of health, a natural immune reminder and famous for its natural anti-inflammatory properties," explains Dr. Petre. "Although it can not stop one of catching an infection, it can certainly help fight it. As the saying says, a garlic per day keeps the vampires."
Am I sheltered from the virus after I had it once?
Do not be so sure. "The body builds an immune response of memory - how long it lasts, we do not know yet. Some immune memories can be lifelong after a poliomyelitis or short vaccine lasting as an influenza vaccine," says Dr. Petre. "Some people from China have been positive tested after recovering a first episode, but it might think that the virus antigen is always detected in the cells and not bound to viable viral particles."

NOT NECESSARILY."Incubation and disease can exceed 14 days, so it can be better at 24-30 days to protect themselves in quarantine," saysDr. Bill Code, a specialist in virology and immune function.
Is the "test-your breath" a good indicator of coronavirus?
NOPE. "No, there is a broad spectrum of gravity in the symptoms that people with coronaviruses can experiment," saidDr. Nate Favini"Some people with coronaviruses are asymptomatic or have light symptoms and would easily be able to hold their breath for 10 seconds."
Is coronavirus the same as influenza?
No, it's worse!"This virus is substantially more contagious than seasonal influenza (perhaps up to twice as contagious), causes more serious cases requiring hospitalization and having a higher mortality rate than the flu (in the range of 20 times More murderer than seasonal flu), "said Dr. Favini. That's why it's doubly important to follow these 50 things you should never do during the pandemic coronavirus .
