摘要

感冒是一般人最常見的呼吸道感染疾病，而2020年在中國大陸武漢市流行的病毒是一種冠狀病毒（Coronavirus）。因此種病毒的基因很容易引起突變，所以當個人體內沒有此病毒的抗體時，此種疾病在世界上導致廣泛流行到今日仍持續蔓延，而其傳染方式有空氣傳染、接觸傳染、氣膠傳染。此種冠狀病毒疾病最容易引起下呼吸道感染，除了感冒以外還有氣喘、呼吸困難、肺炎而引起病患死亡。尤其有慢性疾病及免疫較差的病人，此病沒有特效藥，唯有增加免疫力，接種預防疫苗。確實戴好口罩、保持個人衛生（使用肥皂洗手或75%酒精消毒）、與他人之間保持安全距離可能是目前最好的預防方式。

Flu is the most common respiratory disease in the world, and Coronavirus Diseases (Covids-19) spreading in Mainland China since 2020 was a type of respiratory disease. It is very easy for virus to mutate, and when in general, any ordinary human body does not contain any antibody for this specific type of virus, this disease is therefore still very widely spread all over the world without an absolute cure. The different routes for this virus to transmit are as follows: airborne transmission, contact transmission, and aerosol transmission. This type of disease induces Lower Respiratory Disease (LRD) most easily. Besides flu, asthma is also commonly seen. Other symptoms are breathing difficulty and Pneumonia, and these two usually lead to the death of patients. For those who with chronic diseases and a lower immune system, there is no effective treatment and cure. The only preventive method to suggest is to boost each individual's immunity and getting vaccination. Be sure to wear medical masks when one is with other people, and keep personal hygiene (washing hands regularly with soap or 75% alcohol), keeping safe distance with other people might be the best and the most suitable way for now.
