1. Can indoor vinegar kill the new coronavirus?

No! The concentration of acetic acid contained in edible vinegar is very low, which cannot achieve the disinfection effect, and is easy to cause irritation to people's eyes and respiratory tract.

2. Can taking antiviral drugs, such as oseltamivir phosphate, prevent novel coronavirus infection?

Although oseltamivir phosphate and others are antiviral drugs, there is currently no evidence that they can prevent novel coronavirus infection.

3. Can taking antibiotics prevent novel coronavirus infection?

No! The causative agent of pneumonia infected by the novel coronavirus is a virus, while antibiotics target bacteria. If used for prophylactic purposes, the wrong use of antibiotics can increase resistance to pathogens.

4. Can eating vitamin C prevent novel coronavirus infection?

No! Vitamin C helps the body maintain normal immune function, but it does not enhance immunity and has no antiviral effect. In the treatment of the disease, vitamin C intake is usually only an adjunctive treatment.

5. Can wearing multi-layer masks better prevent novel coronavirus infection?

Wearing one mask is fine, wearing three or four masks will make people breathless, because the air cannot enter the nasal cavity from the front, only from the side, but will not have a protective effect. In addition, N95 masks are not necessarily required, and ordinary disposable medical masks can also block the transmission of droplets.

6. When the flu was high before, many people were vaccinated against the flu, but if they received the flu vaccine, they were not easy to be infected by the new coronavirus? Or is it not that serious even if you are infected?

The flu vaccine is mainly used to prevent influenza and has no preventive effect on the new coronavirus infection, so you may still be infected with the new coronavirus after receiving the flu vaccine, and you may also have severe symptoms.
