We can always watch WHO to update knowledge .
Thank for your great work and sharing this information. I feel very reliefed after watching this. :)
Sharing, Justice and Peace for All
I have great respect for the medical professionals who are tirelessly fighting the diseases. Thank you!
No. They're giving dumb advice. The droplets go onto almost every surface. These droplets can stay contagious for hours. Masks have been shown to not work. She's expecting absolute PERFECTION, but even 99% perfect isn't enough. How are these people so dumb?
@@mikeyo1234 Thank you Mike, thank you! These people at the WHO are nothing but puppets for the globalists. I remember them telling me Brexit would cause the UK to be overrun with disease and have no medicine. I wont be taking any advise from these people. It is a virus for Christ sake, we live on a living planet and should be used to viruses by now without these overpaid script readers telling us nothing new.
@@BLane-xr1ic Would you prefer the virus would spread as quickly as it could? Should we all get it at once? See the italian predicament in Lombardy. Thanks for providing an obviously ignorant position. Think about it.
Thank you!
Thank you to WHO for helping and encouraging us to improve our knowledge. We should be awear of these illnesses for our safety and for the safety of others
Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer questions and preparing us!
Hi,Dr.maria thanks for positive attitúde,with régàrds.
THANK YOU! THE BEST INFORMATION.
Happy to listen the Video Pretension
This information would be helpful for all to take precautions and preparedness.
Thank you Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove! You did excellent Q&A about the coronavirus, everyone shall raise awareness and take the right precaution measures!
This was great thank you
Thank's for the best information...
Very interesting, I have asthma and am in my 70's any information is helpful, thank you. We all really need to keep each other informed, this is where the internet is so powerful.
Thank you very much for teaching about New communicable disease.
Corona virus becomes the biggest public health concern in the debut of 2020. Let us work hand in hand for protecting human beings by promoting healthy behaviors .
Thanks for this information...
Interesting ..thanks 👍
Very Informative.
Thank you Dr. Van Kerklove for telling us the clear answers to many questions .
I have been paying attention to many WHO press conferences.
As far as I , who is not a doctor, could tell that you are the one to trust and understand. (Sorry to say but I usually ignore.. Don’t understand his English and his answer to the question seem to be very unsure.
So beautiful Dr maria
What about iodine that used to be in US bread but was removed and replaced with bromide. Iodine is a viral killer but bromide and flouride in water compete against it.
Please challenge countries that are not yet infected but will soon be responsible and supply food and disinfectants. Everyone must have long-lasting food and water for at least ten days. And in times of contagion and the spread of disease does not have to go to the crowd.
Excellent info. Dr Van... love the way u give info..concise and informative
Thanks to UA-cam , that it has WHO link on the screen ..

Excellent Thank's
thanks ma'am for working for us against the outbreak of the virus
, it is useful information indeed. love you all.
Queria que tivesse um vídeo com a Dr. Maria atualizado, seria muito bom!

I think WHO did a great Q&A, there are many things I learned from this video which I didn't know before, why you are all talking about the bad things.
Maria mam! you are so smart Doctor.....
I live in Southern California and I have a doctor appointment for annual check up on 04/10/20. I'm thinking of canceling this appointment because of coronavirus. Don't want to be expose to it from other patients at doctor's office...
We can get information from various way, we have to check those with WHO information
Very interesting and useful
I'm sorry but they keep saying about catching your cough or sneeze. This does not help *me* because it's about other people's behaviour, I can't do anything about my colleagues.
you can be responsible and tell people when they're being stupid. If other people aren't covering their coughs or sneezes, they should be alerted what the safer approach is for everyone.
@Zoe Casper Wildes I work in an open plan office where there are at least 40 other people in my section and 150 in the whole room. With the people from own team, I did make a point of putting hand sanitizer in their hand when they sneezed. And saying were you just about to put those germs on the mouse. All I get is told not to be stupid, not to be paranoid, not to worry About the tiniest little thing. They get offended if they think I am suggesting they have something contagious. People in the same section I don’t know and don’t speak to so I am in no position to tell them to cover their mouth or catch their sneeze. Plus ... I have an incredibly high pressured workload where I am working to short deadlines. I do not have time to educate everyone in my section.
So I reiterate; telling people who don’t care about the spread of the virus to catch their coughs and sneezes isn’t a way that I can prevent *myself* getting it.
And I say this having been off ill for the last 10 days.
@@travelwell6049 damn
@@travelwell6049 I agree, the sick are supposed to wear masks and wash hands and stuff and not the healthy ones but people don't understand, every individual is on his own
Thank you very helpful
Great information
hard to follow a contact in an ongoing outbreak. Doesn't seem hard to me.
Thank you Dr. Maria and the lady Dr. I have a question recently we had dust in the weather for few days now I do wear mask but still feel out of breath, appreciate if there is an answer.
Watching from philippines
It's my doubt...please clear whether we should avoid reading daily newspaper?
Situation in Iran is a disaster and nobody of government response to this situation. For instance I work in a drugstore and there is no musk, alcohol and any special clothes and if there are these things in drugstores it's takes a lot of money to buy them.
Really? So that country is a very dangerous place to be right now
Is there any relationship with different kinds of weather..Like probability of virus survival in summer or in geography where temperature is >30 C?
Keep up the good work,WHO.
I am a health care provider and I would like to ask about the severity of the covid 19 infection contracting with a person with mild symptoms compared with that contracting the virus with severe symptoms like the critically ill patients on ventilator
Those elderly that have no one that checks on them with underlying health problems what would you recommend them to do?
Like your photo ‼this🔆
COVID-19 has spread to over 50+ countries into every continent on this planet except Antarctica. More and more self-sustained community transmission cases are coming out of Italy, Iran, South Korea, and Japan. This is not a “Brink” no more. This is a Global Pandemic and it needs to be declared so we can take right precautions and prepare effectively.
A pandemic would mean its incidence was widespread in many countries across the globe. At the moment (Feb 29, 2020) it is sporadic and in about a third of countries.
@@commentator5985 it wasn't, we just didn't know yet ( no testing not enough deaths), was overall in January already. California discovered 1 case they cna track back to January. If only China didn't lie and fool us all ( oincluding WHO).
@@GrompereKichelcher The definition of what constitutes a pandemic is not made by me!
Question: if everyone self isolated. Would it help?
sure it will, but society will stop functioning right, esp in big cities..
Isolation, quarantine, is only way to halt, or at least reduce, spread.
With all the over seas visitors coming to attend Crufts and the 1,000 of people who attend every day and are brushing shoulders with each other will crufts be cancelled to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus?
What is the life span of this covid19 in a covid19 positive patient?
About a month ago I found it harder to breath than normal. I am in UK and it was on early lockddown. I decided to use my dds old asthma steroid and ventolun. It went after ten days. I had had a sore throat first and loose bowels. My gp said I could have post viral syndrome. Might I if had covid 19?
We travel when we are feeling well.
We follow medical rules example washing hands wearing masks ect.
What differs COVID-19 and Pneumonia in terms of their symptoms?
Mohammed Baba Bacterial pneumonia is caused by a bacteria and CT scans of the lungs show bigger whitened areas that are not round in shape and are more central in the lungs and can be treated with antibiotics. COVID-19 is a SARS-COV2 virus that’s is a respiratory virus that attaches to cells in the lungs basically hijacking the cells receptors and replicating it’s own RNA this spreading its virus in the lungs making the lungs unable to uptake oxygen to the blood, etc. On CT scan you will see cloudy round areas that tend to congregate closer to the edges of the lungs. So it’s very easy to differentiate from bacterial pneumonia in this way. I think with bacterial pneumonia you’ll have more flu like all over body symptoms whereas with COVID-19 you get a dry cough and fever and the fever depending on the severity of the virus can be short lived. However, you tend to have more breathing difficulties with COVID-19 which am an turn in ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome). I’m not a doctor ~ I just cleaned this by research ~ but any doctor who understands more please chime in.
Cash money is also one of the main source for spreading Corona virus
Do papers or pamphlets also spread the virus??
@@nqobilenq2999 I'm not sure cos there is no report of spreading through pamphlets or papers but we have to be aware that the Corona virus can live upto 3 days in the air, outside human body
This video is before the WHO and governments started talking nonsense. This was a balanced view
If you are infected then for your safety and for the safety of others you have be at home. and follow mecal rules
Thanks for your factual leadership. Please advise if ironing money would reduce that transmission vector. please also advise if soap will dissolve the shell of the virus, rendering it incapable. Is there a position on the Ibuprofen observations provided as fact by the French Health Ministry?
We have to keep our houses and the gardens clean to stop spreading the virus
isolation shut down required, medication now difficult. business, economic growth worst affected, still we are to keep patience.
My husband is coughing for awhile
I told him to see a doctor but he told me he got an asthma
The worsrt part is he thinks he’s smart enough
The bad part is I have a health issues...
High blood pressure
Triple bypass 2018
Type 2 diabetic
I need help
Can you confirm me the first host name of corona virus and we would like to know about life cycle of corona virus.
wow so many doctors in the comment section so where are you graduating from??the University Of Goggle?
I think you mean Google. I'd listen to a pinecone before I'd listen to what W.H.O has to say anymore. The Imperial model that they followed was wrong, they were wrong about ventilators they're actually killing more people than they supposedly save and they still won't admit it's a blood illness not a respiratory Illness . If you'd do one shred of real research you will find a ton of qualified people who say this whole lockdown was a mistake. These people you are referring to are just taking information they learned from other experts because you know.. there are other perspectives
Can do conversations. following medical rules
Is the daily newspapers received from far off places touched by different people not a risk of corona?
We want this type of video into bangla, it would be effective for benguli people.
because we have lack actual information.
you dont need it just eat curry everyday and put a dont in ur forehead alllah will save you
Shouldn’t we avoid touching our face with our hands? You seemed to avoid mentioning that.
For all the panic going on how does this video only have 6500 views? Everybody we should be watching this instead of the sensationalized media "news" stories.
And judging by the replies, many of which are by conspiracy theorists or those of a destructive tendency, not many have taken much on board.
I know the recommendation for surgical mask/NS 95 coz i am a doctor.
What if a do not find another mask in public hospital setting and is not available anywhere
From Pakistan
Transmissions there are major and small transmission
Went around my house with Lysol wipes cleaning several doorknobs and light switches etc, and wow the wipes were almost black afterwards
Do the hydrogen peroxide deactivate the virus when we use for cleaning?
good question ! it's good to know the different possibilities of desinfectants.
I would say so cause it's also used to disinfect cuts and wounds.
Yes it does.
@@passiflora1014 I've Confirmed that the H2O2 is a good Disinfectant from an official website of the CDC and Bleach as well
No transmission happening in wimming pools.
Bugers!
Sorry but I gotta get it out
😉
Nice i like the way Dr Margrett and Dr Maria respond on this matter.
Dr Maria is very beautiful!
hottie
Are you still absolutely sure it's not airborne? How come patient 31 from S.Korea was able to give it to 1200 people by just attending a Church session? Coughing on all of htem?
If it's not in the air, how did it spread through the Diamond Princess?
Secretly Sim there are plenty of ways it could have spread. It is possible that someone in the kitchen may have been passing it on in the meals.
It's in the air in droplets after someone sneezes or coughs, and once they are highly contagious it's in the air just from their breathing if you are within 6 feet of them. Beyond 6 feet the droplets fall to the ground.
The airconditioning? We went by bus to spain once, and there was one women on the bus with a bad flu, we were many that got it, and we were never near her, - they later concluded that we got it through the bus aircond.
national - assembly . net, in voice room, for asking everything.
virus exist ? infection theory works ? are there any proofs ?
are those, who say, it is proved, trust-worthy ? if yes, why ?
for german, ddb radio org, and alliance - earth com . take care
Exactly
My question is that if a person is Corona affected in stage1 and everyday he or she stops water and food for 12 to 14 hours from morning 6am to evening 7 pm. Will it be a helpful or harmful for that stage1 patient. Why and how is important.
Can human plasma therapy be applied for COVID-19??? People whoever got treated and gained immunity against the virus from them can antibody be taken and injected???
En español!!! Porfabor
Doctor, i have a question. Can a person get both flu and covid 19 at the same time?
Are there any medicines? Like can you drink cough syrup? And take medications for runny nose etc?
Panderwaals Forces Not the doctor but I’ve been following this closely and the Italian doctor Dr. Guaraldi, treating COVID-19 in Italy had a very sick patient who actually started out as having bacterial pneumonia and caught the COVID-19 virus whilst being treated for the bacterial pneumonia. Also, he spoke on the symptoms of this virus as being mainly to start a fever and dry cough. It RARELY presents with the typical head cold of runny nose and sneezing. It DOES NOT ACT like the common cold as this doctor says. Also fevers can be short lived. Also, in the early stages of dry cough you may feel just fine and thus not feel your really sick therefore you may unwittingly go about your normal daily activities spreading it to others.
Also, MedCram, a great resource on info here on UA-cam just spoke on daily dose of Vit D at 20mcg and lower can really help shorten viral illnesses and/or keep you from getting it. Also, look into ELDERBERRY as a anti-viral supplement. As it works similarly in blocking the virus’s ability to attach to the lungs cells to replicate its RNA. It works similarly to a new testing drug REMDESIVIR which they are testing in the U.S., China and Japan. Also, Dr. Guaraldi spoke that they were using HIV anti-virals for treatment to their patients in Italy. I hope this helps.
@@FitChickGlows how informative! Well we will find out more about the virus cuz there might be alot more about the virus that we dont know. Im still thinking if there are any vaccines and if there are any more safety precautions we could take cuz this thing sure is getting out of hand, i mean, there are more than ten thousand people are infected by the novel coronavirus in just three months in china, with ridiculous number of deaths caused by the virus, 50 people got infected by the virus in my country and the last time i heard read the update there was like 27 out of the fifty patients recovered.
I wonder how tho
Which temperature ncov does not exist
How can one cleans fruit and vegetables? Is thr virus going to be completely eliminated with washing them with soap and water? Or there is a chance it remains?
Is there going to be a curfew on this to the public
Well now they are saying it’s airborne and remains in the area for 7 plus hours
What's your source please?
Can use swimming pools. So far no problems
If you feel tired you can go to a doctor and better to test
If we have fever better to go to a doctor and get ourselves tests
If you touch many surfaces then we hav e to wash hands with soap and water well
Are they not sitting too close to each other?
Dr WHO
is there any statment that covid 19 may spread in air?
not when she gave the interview, or well, she didn't have the guts to speak about Aerosol, it's not airborne over kilometers, but in a room for 4-8 hours.
10:25 me googling my symptoms and running to tell my mum im going to die
The doctor at the back?
@@aeropureinhakase855 yes
If you touch many surfaces have to wash hands with soap and water.
From the thumbnail I thought Dr. van Kerkhove was a sign language interpreter.
Alcohol may help to minimize the effect of corona virus ?
Is hot water & water with salt protective to "Corona Virus"??????
Is there going to be a curfew on the public
I am som fr6 kerala I nagati8e can i travel inA bus
