Italian doctor's letter: “Dear child, why shouldn't you be afraid of coronary?”

It says: Alberto Pella

It's a virus. It's so small that it can only be seen in special labs with special microscopes.
That's why it scares us so much. Because it's elusive with the naked eye. We human beings are always afraid of everything that harms us and cannot be seen.

It happened to the man who went into the forest to hunt wild animals. He couldn't see them and had to go looking for them. They stayed in secret places, and to avoid being killed, they could have killed him.

That's where our brain learned to fuel fear. He has equipped us with the capacity for warning unseen danger. We are thus better prepared to face him when he appears before us.

Fear is like an ambulance sirens screaming inside you. Coronavius, today, makes all the alarm sirens of the world fall. They talk constantly on the media, on the Internet, on television.

There are some among adults who are calmer, others who are anxious, some who are very scared. But in the meantime, there are people with strong nerves working day and night to combat this danger.

Unfortunately, some countries have canceled school trips. No more sports practice. It's like we're in a war, that's what comes to mind. We have a terrible fear of coping.

You can't undo that fear, but I can say that while it's right to feel alarm for something that threatens us, at the same time you should learn to have mass in the way you cope with danger: Let's take him for what he is for as long as he is.

It's true that the coronavirus is a new infection agent who is first hitting human beings. He was once present only in the body of certain animals.

It's true: Some people infected by the coronary have died.

We all know these already, but here are some other truths that, in this climate of alarm, have to be shown, but people spread very little:

First, the disease has been located in certain areas called regions of infection outbreaks. When the blast area was identified, experts took all possible measures not to allow it to leave. It's like a trapped animal. Where it exploded, people are in isolation and quarantine today. They haven't been leaving their territory for days.

Coronervirus ' disease is similar to a flu. It causes cough, sneezing, fever. In many people the virus does not produce such symptoms either. Only a few people get sick with far more serious symptoms, such as pneumonia.

You should know that there are no children among these sick people. Or better explain, it seems that those of your age have a natural ability to resist the attack of the virus. It means that this virus is not a real threat to children.

In addition, you must consider that in countries where infection has spread, there are millions of other people. From these few, only 2 percent have died.

It is sad to know that even one person dies of illness. It is important, however, that you realize that the whole world is struggling to avoid doing so.

But it is essential that people be alarmed. Because that's how they perceive danger and learn to do everything they need to avoid it growing.

It's what your parents have been doing to you since you were born.

You have been taught before crossing the street, you must wait for the light to turn green. Otherwise, you risk dragging yourself out of a car. This has allowed you to learn to be safe in the world, knowing how to avoid dangers.

They taught you you can't just eat hamburgers and chips. Because your body also needs fiber and vitamins found in fruits and vegetables. Only in this way can you have a healthy body.

They've taught you that when you're on the Internet you shouldn't give your data a name, an address name, or an address, because you don't know who's on the other side.

Coronerviros is similar. The world now warns that outside is a virus we don't know much about. That's why we have to protect ourselves.

Every day in the lab, scientists are working to find a vaccine and cure. At any moment, the people in charge are taking precautions.

And don't forget that 2 percent, so even people who get sick have 98 percent chance of recovery. And almost the entire population will probably not get sick.

Prevention experts tell us to do some things that are very simple but very important:

1- If you feel like sneezing, do it on your elbow. In this way the risk of spreading not only the coronary but any other virus involving respiratory routes decreases.

2- Wash your hands well, up, down and between your fingers, with liquid soap for more than ten seconds.

3-You can sing the song “

4-Use box for shave and throw it into a closed basket immediately.

5-Don't put your fingers and hands in your mouth, eyes, nose (but you already knew that) and don't eat your nails. Keep them short and orderly.

That's all you can do to defeat this invisible monster that's scared you. We know him from day to day and are learning to beat him.

Man has known how to do extraordinary things throughout history. He learned to overcome much more horrible diseases, invented missiles that could lead us to the moon, discovered how to turn water and sunlight into energy.

Remember: Fear only makes us see the dark, dark side of things. But don't lose yourself in the dark.

Believe! Also believe in the work of millions of people today who are working and struggling to win the battle against the coronary. Learn to imagine them all together. There is an endless army of millions of men and women, doctors, researchers, scientists, nurses, law enforcement officers against an invisible microscopic virus.

We'll make it this time, you'll see we make it! /Corrier.com.al
