And 3,100 have died. Here in the bay area were seeing more confirmed cases of coronavirus as well 2 more cases, confirmed in Santa Clara County bringing the total there to 9 in San Mateo County. One person they tested presumptively positive meeting they tested at a Public Health lab. And now officials are just waiting for official confirmation from the cdc. That patient is in isolation and the source of their exposure is on mount. As the cases of the coronavirus with unknown origins continues to rise understanding the risk of coronavirus has become more important. The cdc says at this point we should all be prepared for more cases across the us. The head of Infectious Diseases at u c berkeley doctor lee riley says this is an outbreak an epidemic but believes a cry virus has always been around. He stresses in fact to continue doing what youve been taught to do to avoid the flu to better protect yourself take a listen. Somebody died influenzalike illness respiratory illness, you know with percent eyes and fever. We naturally assume that it was a fluke because this what happens during the season.

Well, theres still a lot unknown about the Coronavirus Health Officials Say keeping yourself up to date. Is the way and the best way to prepare yet kron fours taylor second has a breakdown between the similarities and the differences between. This strain of the coronavirus and the typical flu. Where the coronavirus spreads across the country often fear and panic follow mostly because of the unknown experts say it helps to relay the information to what we do know which is that it has similarities to the flu season both this is that are different than bacteria so things like antibiotics. Dont treat either the flu or a coronavirus. Another similarity is the actual symptoms of the illness so people will have things like cough and fevers and some shortness of breath and those are similar with the flu as it is with coronavirus while both viruses also originated in animals and can be spread through the air. Doctor amy per ec and the chief medical officer and an online Healthcare Resource Center known as grand round says the flu in coronavirus differ in timing of the symptoms and treatment the flu for those of you had it comes on of all of a sudden. Like youre feeling just fine and all of a sudden you have the flu. With coronavirus it does seem like the symptoms take a few days to develop she says coronavirus symptoms take longer to show up and longer to go away another big difference is that theres antiviral vaccines and medicines for the flow but not good for the coronavirus even with that people do die of the flu every year. As of right now more americans have died of the flu than of coronavirus. The issue of coronavirus is i think with current data we do think its more fatal than the flu, however we have very little data which is also why experts dont know how long the coronavirus will last on like the flu which is seasonal despite their differences both viruses can be prevented by practicing good hygiene. And avoiding contact with people who are sick you should be washing your hands way more regularly than you otherwise would have so 20 seconds soap and water much as possible. Dont touch your face so much the more youre touching things touching your face youre definitely sort of exposing yourself also disinfect common areas. Well as you just heard the main prevention techniques remain the same for the coronavirus and many of the other viruses that weve seen here. In the us and if you happen to get sick with the coronavirus he would do pretty much the same things that you would do if you got sick with the flu that means taking fever reducer ys staying hydrated in of course staying home if youre sick from the newsroom taylor kron 4 news.
