We are talking about things that will not help protect against the new Chinese coronavirus.
1. Medical mask
Face shields have already become a hard-to-find commodity in several Chinese provinces. However, doctors remind that masks of this type should not be worn by healthy people, but by infected people in order to prevent the spread of the virus.Masks are unable to stop penetration virus into the body.
2. Flu vaccine
Every year, Ukrainians are offered many vaccinations, the trick is that each was created for its own strain of influenza and will be useless against everyone else.
This rule also works with coronavirus. Unfortunately, even a vaccinated person does not have any additional protection against this flu.
3. Saline
Salt water (saline) can be a prophylactic against some colds.
The effectiveness of rinsing the nasopharynx with such a solution in the fight against coronavirus has not been proven.
4. Coronavirus vaccine
The coronavirus vaccine would help stop the spread of the infection, but it doesn't exist. If you are offered this kind of remedy, know that this is a fake, made in a homemade way.Vaccine will appear at best in 5 months, while doctors have only managed to isolate a strain of coronavirus.
5. Lemons, garlic and alcohol
Traditional medicines that increase immunity cannot stop infection.
