昨天去超市買餸，發現貨架空空如也，早前跟親戚吃團年飯時吹水如果三年零八個月再來臨，我們如何慳米度過，點知真係講中😩，不過我仲有存貨，暫時還未需要擔心無米。後來去到街市，要買的都買到，只不過是全部要自己煮而已。至於口罩，我在2003年SARS時期買多了，現在還可捱多些少時間。早兩天有朋友傳來加拿大BC省疾控中心的通告，我在Facebook 貼了，在此也貼一遍：
The BC Centre of Disease Control (BCCDC) wants to clear up “several misconceptions” being spread about coronavirus on social media. In a series of tweets, the BCCDC provides a clear explanation about the virus and the ways it can and cannot be transmitted: “The receptors for coronavirus are deep in a person’s lungs – a person must inhale enough of the virus that it can actually bind to those receptors deep in the lungs,” says the BCCDC, adding that the virus is transmitted through “larger droplets that fall quickly out of the air (for example, after a sneeze)” meaning it is not airborne. The virus also doesn’t spread through “casual contact.” Individuals must be in close contact (within two metres) to be able to inhale droplets from a cough or a sneeze that is not covered. If an individual touches a surface or object that has droplets containing the coronavirus, they are not in risk of getting the virus in their body as long as they clean their hands before touching their face or mouth. “Coronavirus is not something that comes through the skin. This virus is remitted through large droplets that are breathed deep into a person’s lungs,” says the BCCDC. As for masks, they should be used by sick people in order to prevent transmission to others, as the masks help keep droplets contained. However, it may be less effective to wear facemask when a person is not sick, as they “may give a person a false sense of security” and increase times they touch their face in order to adjust the mask. *So what is the most important thing people can do to prevent themselves from getting the virus?* *Wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face*, says the BCCDC. “Cover your mouth when you cough so you’re not exposing other people. If you are sick yourself, stay away from others. Contact your health care provider ahead of time so you can be safely assessed.”
文中解釋病毒的傳播途徑，他們否定病毒是airborne ，傳播途徑以吸入飛沬為主，不過中國疾控中心指出近日在內地武漢、深圳及美國的確診患者糞便樣本中驗出新型冠狀病毒，雖然他們說仍然要研究病毒是否可透過糞便傳播，這大概解釋到為何加拿大疾控中心說病毒不是空氣傳播，而另一方面中國及香港卻有人不知那裡得到病毒，這大可能是隱形病人去過公眾廁所，一沖廁便分分鐘到處都有，甚至吸入。如果我們知道傳播途徑，我們便能知道如何防疫，例如多洗手和消毒酒精搓手，避免用手摸口摸眼，不用公眾洗手間。我諗口罩是需要的，但就不需要過份擔心，沒即棄口罩便不能出街。其實布口罩挾塊紙巾也可以擋到一下吧，用完即洗，以100度煲滾水烚一下也可消毒吧。用一些想像力也可。天寒地凍10來度早上三點去排隊，唔病都排到病，而且幾百人排隊，人羣聚集，感染機會增加，有承擔的政府是應該出來說清楚，沒有即棄口罩可以怎樣。
現時最受影響的是老人家，確診的而且病得嚴重的都是六十幾歲、七十幾歲、八十幾歲，他們即使只是沾上小量病毒，由於復元力欠佳，所以容易病得比較嚴重，所以大家要睇住自己家中的老人家。不過，我家中的也是很難攪，湊老人家比湊小朋友難很多，因為你叫小朋友唔好做一些事情，他們就算不聽話也不會鬧你，由於大量在大陸度歲的港人回港，這兩星期應該是關鍵，大家小心點吧！
很多朋友都在家work from home，就當是度過一個悠長假期！
買不到罐頭食物，其實自己煮也不太麻煩：
焗三文魚，魚上面加少許鹽和胡椒，焗十分鐘
柴爛抄飯
