"This virus appears to go further down into the lungs than would generally be the case, therefore giving you symptoms of pneumonia: the lungs becoming flooded, they don't function very well and the patient gets into breathing difficulty."
“这种病毒似乎更容易深入肺部,因此会出现肺炎的症状:肺部积水,肺功能不佳,病人呼吸困难。”
Why is it more feared than the flu?
为什么它比流感更可怕?
While the mortality rates and symptoms of flu and novel coronavirus may end up being similar, humans' ability to fight off the viruses differ greatly.
虽然流感和新型冠状病毒的死亡率和症状可能很相似,但人类抗击病毒的能力却有很大不同。
Humans have naturally built up antibodies to seasonal flu and scientists have developed annual vaccines to fight it. During a pandemic, which the new coronavirus has the potential to become, "there is no immunity in the population so you have potential for a global spread," warns Jones.
人类天生就会对季节性流感产生抗体,科学家们每年都会研制出流感疫苗。琼斯警告说,这种新型冠状病毒有可能成为流行病,“人们普遍对此没有免疫力,因此有可能在全球范围内传播。”
antibody[ˈæntibɒdi]:n. [免疫]抗体
There is also a widespread familiarity with flu, which dampens concern. As with the Ebola epidemic and the Zika virus, both of which peaked in the middle of the last decade, fears around the new coronavirus are compounded due to a lack of knowledge over its nature.
