They also spread in similar ways. So it's natural to want to compare the two. But Covid-19 is very different, in ways that make it much more dangerous. And understanding how is key to understanding why we have to take it so seriously.

The same behaviors that stop the spread of the common cold and flu will help protect you from coronavirus as well. Try to avoid exposure to anyone known to have this virus, or who is sick. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. That's two rounds of the "Happy Birthday" song. Alcohol hand sanitizers are also very effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. Nancy Gin, MD, an internal medicine physician at Kaiser Permanente, explains.

The 2019 novel coronavirus, which causes a disease known as COVID-19, is a new virus that causes respiratory illness in people, and can spread from person to person. Nancy Gin, MD, an internal medicine physician at Kaiser Permanente, explains.

Kaiser Permanente infectious disease pediatrician David Bronstein, MD, talks about how parents can talk to their children about COVID-19 - what it is, how to help children understand and cope, and their role in helping their communities stay safe. For more information go to kp.org.

If we can slow the virus down, it could save hundreds of thousands of lives. Read more about the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic at http://vox.com/coronavirus In March 2020, the World Health Organization officially classified Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, as a pandemic. That means the disease no longer constitutes just an outbreak or even an epidemic; the coronavirus has now spread around the world, and will continue to reach into other countries and communities. That’s in part because of how contagious the virus is. When you’re infected with the flu, it takes about two days before you start to show symptoms. But coronavirus symptoms take an average of five to six days to appear, so it’s easy to spread well before you notice that you’re feeling sick. Many people are spreading it while going about their daily lives as usual. The risk is that once coronavirus starts to spread in a community, about 20% of cases are severe and may require hospitalization. As those cases multiply, hospitals can fill up quickly. And people with severe cases of COVID-19 who can’t receive proper medical attention are at a much higher risk of dying. Ideally, we would be able to stop the virus from spreading entirely. We can’t do that right now. What we can do is slow it down, so that the severe cases get spread out over a longer period of time, and hospitals are less likely to be overwhelmed on any given day. And that’s where each one of us comes in. The best way to slow down the spread is for everyone — healthy, sick, young, old — to limit social contact as much as possible, immediately. This is called social distancing, and it only works if enough of us do it. But if we do, it could mean the difference between the life and death of someone you know.

To fight coronavirus, we need to change how we live. Read more about the coronavirus pandemic at http://vox.com/coronavirus “Social distancing,” also called physical distancing, is the best way to slow the spread of coronavirus and save lives in your community. It means leaving home as little as possible, keeping six feet away from others in public, and generally just limiting in-person social contact. But the rules of social distancing can be sort of blurry and confusing. Can you have close friends over for dinner? Can you visit relatives? Can you get on a plane if you’re wearing a face mask? What is life even supposed to look like without social contact? We spoke with University of Pennsylvania social epidemiologist Carolyn Cannuscio about how we should think about social distancing, and what measures we should each be taking to do our part in slowing down the pandemic. Practicing social distancing properly isn’t easy, she says. But it’s also the best thing that each of us can do right now in the service of public health.
