3 . Francisco Fernandez died after falling off a motorbike. The 45-year-old was a beloved community figure. But with a public-facing job and a spot on his lung, he was considered a possible COVID-19 carrier. A doctor ordered his family to bury him quickly, against Philippine tradition, and all eight people who lived with him were put under a 14-day quarantine(隔离)in their crowded home.
Yet when Anthony Cortez, the doctor who had ordered the rushed burial and quarantine, arrived to check on the Fernandez family, none of them expressed anger. Instead, faces lit up and the kids waved eagerly.
Cortez, the only community doctor in Bambang, has overseen their medical care for years. They trust him, and he makes them laugh. The family gathered outside to have their temperatures taken by the doctor. When the kids tried to give Cortez high fives for not having a fever, the 56-year-old, in a surgical mask, face shield, and rubber gloves, showed "air fives" instead. For the 56 000 people living in Bambang, Cortez is their primary caregiver and the first responder.
When the first coronavirus(冠状病毒)case in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30, the town's response fell to Cortez. He and Mayor Pepito Balgos decided to take action based on science that, if necessary, would go beyond national restrictions. Cortez and Balgos are sharply aware of the threat the virus poses to Bambang, which sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Anyone going south to Manila or north toward the rest of the country ends up passing through Bambang.
Cortez quickly set up a system of contact tracing. Using information from the town's 25 villages, he made a list of all the people who had traveled to other countries, and placed them under strict home quarantine. Anyone with symptoms would be moved to a center set up in the mountains. So far that center has remained empty.
"It is safer to assume that everybody is positive," he explained.

5 . The CoVID-19 and flu are both respiratory infectious diseases,with similar symptoms including fever and cough,but they aren't the same.
Both the CoVID-19 and flu are diseases caused by a virus. In the case of flu the pathogens(病原体)are flu viruses,and for COVID-19,it is a novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒).
Common symptoms for flu and novel coronavirus are nearly identical-fever,cough and tiredness sometimes sore throat and diarrhea. In several cases they result in pneumonia(肺炎)and even death in the worst cases. Flu has seasonal ups and downs. Although it can exist all year round,the virus infects more people in winter and spring. As for the novel coronavirus,the median age for the infected is 51.But the novel coronavirus is a brand new virus no one has total immunity no matter their age.
Both the flu and the novel coronavirus are transmitted in the similar ways,by direct contact with infected patients or small droplets from the nose or mouth when a person with virus coughs or breathes.
FIu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear. As for the novel coronavirus,spread might be possible before people show symptoms,but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
For the novel coronavirus,there is also a risk for aerosol transmission(气溶胶传播)In health facilities,people may catch the virus if they breathed in aerosol, the suspension of find solid or liquid particles in the air, which have been contaminated by the virus. The novel coronavirus has also been found in patients’ fecal (排泄物) samples, but fecal-oral transmission does not appear to be a major transmission route.
