It’s a strange feeling as we watch the world change in a matter of days or weeks before our very eyes. These days, everyone is feeling a major life shift(重大的人生转变) now that the coronavirus(冠状病毒) has become a global(全球的) pandemic(大流行). Restaurants are closing, companies are changing to work-from-home ways, schools are closing and we are being told to stay inside.
The beauty model and actress, Kylie Jenner, has encouraged her followers to stay safe and informed.My advice for you is to educate yourself and to take action!
As fear spreads faster than facts, inform yourself about the virus(病毒). Deepen your knowledge and point others to trusted information. This will go a long way to correct mistaken information and build independence in your community.
Not sure where to start? The World Health Organization (WHO) has a continuously updated platform(持续更新的平台) for information on the crisis(危机) with the insights of its global network of experts.
Take action to keep your community safe.
We are most afraid and powerless when we do nothing. “Inaction produces doubt and fear. Action produces confidence and courage. If you want to overcome fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” says Dale Carnegie, an American writer.
When you’re young and healthy, your risk of developing serious illness is lower. So consider those in your community who are most endangered, including older persons and persons with pre-existing (预先存在的)medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, lung disease, cancer or diabetes). Do your best to support them.
Encourage others to take precautions(预防措施), including washing your hands regularly, keeping a social distance(距离) from others and staying home when you’re sick. Basic actions like this can help hold down the virus’ spread and its influence on public health, society and the economy.（310词）

Zhao Kaixuan, a young nurse from Quzhou in Zhejiang province, was among the first group of medical teams from her area sent to Wuhan, Hunan province, which is hit hardest by the COVID-19(新冠肺炎) epidemic(流行病).
A video clip that records her spending more than an hour comforting a bad-tempered patient with serious novel coronavirus symptoms(新冠肺炎症状) has since become popular online.On the night of Feb 13, the patient refused treatment, requesting he be allowed to go back home. Bowing toward him, holding his hands and speaking softly, Zhao managed to calm the patient and continue to receive treatment.
"Most internet users say that I was heard speaking gently and softly. Actually, I had to shout to make my voice heard through the protective suit, which caused a bit of ringing in my ears," recalls Zhao in the ongoing program Zhanyi Gushi (A livestreamed TV show, produced by China Movie Channel, or CCTV-6).
A die-hard fan of actor Eddie Peng, Zhao once asked a workmate to write the characters "wife of Eddie Peng" onto her protective suit(防护服), a joke to express her love for the unmarried A-list actor and to lift her spirits while working long, tiring shifts(轮班工作).
On the show, Zhao got a big surprise when she received a video call from Peng, one of the top box-office draws (票房名列前茅)in China.Known for action movies such as Operation Mekong, Peng has played many strong characters on the big screen. But the actor says Zhao－who faces the risk of catching a highly infectious(传染的) disease(疾病) to take care of patients－has given him real strength.
"You are so brave, optimistic and lovely. Our world needs people like you who work very hard but ask for no reward. Please take care of yourself and protect yourself… I expect you to return home safely," Peng told her on the call.Peng also promised her a hug and movie tickets after the battle against the epidemic comes to an end.（330词）
