2 . Coronavirus survivors have spoken out about what it is like to contract the disease, which has infected more than 132,000 worldwide and killed over 5,000 people.
As fears over the coronavirus pandemic spread, there’s one question that comes up again and again — how bad is it really? The severity of symptoms can vary dramatically, from a mild sniffle to a hellish feeling of suffocation.
Here are some of the coronavirus patients' stories:
Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73
Jaimuay Sae-ung was the first Thai national to contract coronavirus, becoming ill in December.She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia (肺炎) while in quarantine.After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged following two negative test results.
Carl Goldman, 67
Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and later tested positive for coronavirus.He said the virus “hasn't been that bad”.He developed a fever and “a bit of a cough” during his flight back to America and was quarantined on his return.He said: “The sickest I've ever been was when I had bronchitis (支气管炎) several years ago.This has been much easier — no chills, no body aches.I breathe easily and I don't have a stuffy nose.“My chest feels tight and I have coughing spells.If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual.” After having the illness for one month, Carl now has no symptoms, but is still testing positive.
Marc Thibault, 48
Teacher Marc, from Rhode Island, in the US, led a school field trip to Italy, France and Spain last month and was admitted to hospital on February 27, five days after he returned home.A week later he was diagnosed with coronavirus.He said the illness had hit him “like a hurricane”.Marc, a school vice principal, said: “You feel like you're asphyxiating, and you’re panicking because you can’t breathe.He added that he felt “one inch from death” and remains in intensive care.

6 . A few days after losing his job in March, Paul Gentile was throwing away rubbish outside his Brooklyn apartment building when he noticed a new sign hanging near the front door. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought life to a near standstill in New York City and caused a number of people to lose their jobs, renters in the building did not need to pay April rent, it read. "STAY SAFE, HELP YOUR NEIGHBOIRS & WASH YOUR HANDS!!!" the landlord, Mario Salerno, wrote on the sign.
New York is made up of millions of renters, many of whom pay most of their monthly income for a place to live. The sudden collapse of the economy has left many New Yorkers stressing about how they can pay their bills, especially rent.
But Mr. Salerno did not care about losing his rental income in April, nor did he care to calculate the amount that he would not be collecting from his 80 apartments. He is likely losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in income by canceling April rent. His only interest, he said, was in alleviating stress for his renters, even those who were still employed and now working from home. "My concern is everyone's health." said Mr. Salerno. "I told them just to look out for your neighbors and make sure that everyone has food on their table."
For the nearly four years. Mr. Gentile has lived in the apartment and Mr. Salerno has been a model landlord. Emergencies are fixed almost immediately, such as a water leak in Mr. Gentile's ceiling that was fixed and painted within several hours. "You don't see that, especially in a landlord-renter relationship in New York City," Mr. Gentile said. "He's amazing."

8 . As the novel coronavirus rapidly spreading to about 70 nations, many countries are canceling their major sporting and cultural events.
Already, major domestic (国内的) events in China, including the National People’s Congress and the World Athletics Indoor Championships, have already been postponed (推迟). Now the rest of the world seems to be following suit.
The world of soccer is also being affected. In Italy, several matches in February were played behind closed doors (without spectators). Meanwhile, entire soccer leagues in Japan, South Korea, and China’s Super League have all been placed on hold (暂停). There is also the possibility that Euro 2020 — an international soccer tournament for European teams — could be cancelled. When asked about the cancellations, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said, “The health of persons is much more important than any football game. If games have to be postponed, then we have to go through that.”
The outbreak is also impacting cultural events around the world. Facing Europe’s largest COVID-19 epidemic, with over 2,000 confirmed cases (确诊病例) so far, Italy also cut short its iconic Venice carnival (狂欢节) and Milan Fashion Week show. The latter was being live-streamed from an empty theater.
Now, the biggest event in doubt is the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Held every four years, the event attracts hundreds of thousands of people and has not been postponed since 1944 — due to World War II. Set to begin on July 24, Japanese officials remain optimistic. In a press conference, Toshiro Muto, Tokyo 2020 CEO said, both the Olympics and Paralympics (残奥会) will go ahead as planned. He added, “The situation of the coronavirus infection is difficult to predict, but we will take measures [so] that we’ll have a safe Olympic Games.”
Speaking to the Washington Post about the Games, infectious (传染的) disease researcher Yvonne Maldonado said, “You bring many people together, and then you ship them back all over the world: That’s the perfect way to transmit. If you want to disseminate (传播) a disease, that would be the way to do it.”
On Feb 26, the World Health Organization said the virus was spreading faster outside China than inside for the first time, prompting (敦促) many countries to follow China’s strict isolation measures.
