It is not SARS virus, and the pathogen is identified as a novel coronavirus.
Myth 2: Drinking can prevent novel coronavirus.
Drinking alcohol can't prevent novel coronavirus, but novel coronavirus is sensitive to heat. Fat solvents such as 56℃ for 30 minutes, ether, 75% alcohol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, peracetic acid and chloroform can effectively inactivate the virus.
Rumor 3: The owner of Wuhan South China Seafood Market is the daughter-in-law of the vice chairman of Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference.
The news that "the boss of Wuhan South China Seafood Market is Yu Tian, and the father-in-law is Zheng, vice chairman of Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference" is widely circulated on the Internet. It was verified that Zheng, the former vice chairman of Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, had no son and was untrue.
Rumor 4: Japan sent a 1000 medical team to Wuhan.
Due to the habitual omission of subject in Japanese expression, Yomiuri TV reported that "seven provinces and cities in China * * * sent about 1000 medical personnel to Wuhan epidemic area". In addition, Japanese masks were sold at reduced prices, and "Come on Wuhan!" was posted everywhere. Come on, China! " There is no such thing. The actual situation is that many stores in Japan have basically sold out of large packaging masks, and many stores have also taken measures to restrict the purchase of independent packaging masks.
Myth 5: Wuhan pneumonia virus is a long-standing coronavirus similar to SARS.
Coronavirus, which is widely circulated on the Internet, is transliterated from coronavirus, and the pathogen that causes viral pneumonia in Wuhan is a kind of novel coronavirus, not SARS virus. At present, the investigation shows that the interpersonal transmission ability and pathogenicity of the virus are weaker than that of SARS virus.
Myth 6: Smoking can prevent novel coronavirus infection.
Smoking cannot prevent novel coronavirus infection. Tobacco does not help the respiratory tract, but it will do harm to the respiratory tract.

Proverbs 8: Drink Radix Isatidis to prevent virus, smoke vinegar to prevent virus, effervescent tablets to prevent virus, smoke to prevent virus, and drink alcohol to prevent virus.
In fact, these "earthworks" have never played a role. Banlangen can only cure colds, the concentration of smoked vinegar is too low to be disinfected, and effervescent tablets can't prevent colds. Smoking and drinking and other unhealthy lifestyles, in addition to damaging health, have no "magic effect" of antivirus.
Myth 9: novel coronavirus comes from bats.
In fact, although bats carry a variety of viruses, it is not certain that the viruses come from bats. At present, experts can only confirm that the virus comes from wild animals in Wuhan South China Seafood Market.
Myth 10: Take a hot bath to prevent novel coronavirus.
Bathing (soaking) in hot water at home and high-temperature disinfection are two different things. Taking a hot bath to protect susceptible people is not suitable for publicity. High temperature disinfection is a professional matter, which is different from taking a hot bath at home. At present, the methods to prevent novel coronavirus infection are to go to crowded places less, wash hands frequently, wear masks and keep indoor ventilation.
