武汉肺炎疫情肆虐，人人自危，网上近日出现一段声称出自香港大学医学院微生物学系讲座教授袁国勇的短讯，指今次的病毒是OC43，又指应该避免吃太多油炸食物，并服用大量的维他命C。袁国勇表示，短讯内容并非出自他，而今次引发疫情的是新型冠状病毒，但OC43是已知的冠状病毒。

网上流传的讯息内容：
<转发>袁国勇博士昨日致辞时提出以下意见。1.他建议香港人在此期间应尽量避免去中国。2.如果要乘飞机，请确保戴好口罩。3.始终准备好消毒清洁剂或毛巾。4.病毒“冠状病毒”是与先前的SARS或MERS类似的病毒。这次是OC43。仍然没有已知的方法来解决这种病毒。5.如果必须去市场，请确保戴好口罩。要非常警惕。6.卫生局宣布这种病毒非常严重。但是，由于发现如果喉咙或喉咙粘液干燥，病毒会进入您的体内，因此他们建议采取的一项预防措施是确保喉咙或喉咙粘液始终处于湿润状态。实际上，他们建议不要让您的嗓子变干，因为在干燥的10分钟内，病毒会找到进入您体内的方法。因此，不要节制饮用水，始终要随身携带一个瓶子。对于成年人，他们建议饮用50-80cc的温水；适用于30-50cc的儿童。如果感觉喉咙干燥，就喝一杯。不要犹豫。但是，不必喝超过建议量的酒，因为它只会通过您的系统。这个想法是“保持嗓子不断湿”7.在3月底之前，请尽量不要进入拥挤的地方，地铁或公共交通，并在必要时戴口罩。8.避免吃太多的油炸食物，并服用大量的VitamenC。9.控制中心关于此病毒症状的建议：-发高烧，很难降低，但是如果成功，发烧很快就会恢复。-下一阶段是咳嗽，长期而言，受影响的人群主要是儿童。-成人主要有咽喉症状，以及头痛和身体不适。-该病毒具有“高度”传染性。-老年人和幼儿最容易受到伤害祝大家身体健康。
Dr. Yuen Kwok Yung, a highly respected doctor during the previous SARS period gave the following advice in a speech yesterday.1. He suggests Hong Kong people should try to avoid going to China during this period of time.2. If going on a flight, make sure you wear a mask.3. Always have antiseptic cleanser or towel readily available.4. The virus “Coronavirus” is similar type of virus like the previous SARS or MERS. This time it is OC43. There is still no known method of tackling this virus.5. If you have to go to the market, make sure you wear a mask. Be very vigilant.6. Health Authority announced that this virus is very serious. However, as the virus is found to be able to enter your body if your throat or throat mucous is dry, the one precaution they suggest which can be taken is to ensure your throat or throat mucous is always in a moist condition. In fact, they suggest not to allow your throat to become dry, as in 10 minutes of being dry, the virus will find ways to enter into your body. So do not refrain from drinking water, always have a bottle handy.For adults, they suggest drinking 50-80cc of warm water; for children 30-50cc. Just drink if you feel your throat is dry. Do not hesitate. However drinking more than the amount recommended is not necessary, as it will just want to pass through your system. The idea is to “Keep your Throat Constantly Moist”7. Before end of March, try not to enter crowded places, MTR or public Transport, and wear a mask if necessary.8. Avoid eating too much deep fried food and take plenty of Vitamen C.9. Control Centre advice on symptoms of this virus:- fast and high fever, hard to lower, but if successful, the fever will return very soon.- next stage is coughing, in long duration, people affected are mainly children.- Adults has mainly throat symptoms, together with headaches and physical discomforts.- the virus is “highly” contagious.- elderly and young children are most susceptible, so take super precaution.I am afraid this is best I know how in translating for my dear friends and family’s benefits. Good health to everyone.
