Fight the Virus
抗擊病毒
A parody of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence” by Alvin Oon
改編自西蒙和加芬克爾的《寂靜之聲》——阿爾·文恩
Hello virus from Wuhan
Another problem’s here again
Because you see the contagion creeping
And the virus is indeed spreading
And the memory of SARS planted in my brain still remains
We stand and fight the virus
We hear of theories how it grew
From snakes and bats became a flu
Passing the sickness from man to man
Now it’s growing, getting out of hand
It’s a virus that has travelled near and far
Corona
We have to fight the virus
And in the latest news I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People falling sick with much coughing
People falling ill with much sneezing
People worried for their health and their ones so dear
Pneumonia
We keep the fight the virus
Keep your hands clean always know
Hygiene will stop that virus grow
When you sneeze cover with a tissue
Even coughing just let me teach you
Wear a mask if you’re sick
So that others won’t get it too
We count on you to help to fight the virus
Together we must overcome
To beat this virus fight as one
For a life of health and harmony
It’s in our hands
It’s up to you and me
For the health of our land
Of our friends and family
Humanity
Will win this fight the virus

1.3 英文閱讀
春節期間沸沸揚揚的冠狀病毒新型肺炎問題，完全可以作爲一份閱讀材料：
(CNN)
A new Chinese coronavirus, a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected more than 200 people since the outbreak (爆發） began in Wuhan, China, in December. Scientist Leo Poon, who first decoded the virus, thinks it likely started in an animal and spread to humans.
“What we know is it causes pneumonia （肺炎） and then doesn’t respond to antibiotic（抗生素） treatment, which is not surprising, but then in terms of mortality （死亡率）, SARS kills 10% of the individuals,” Poon, a virologist（病毒學家） at the School of Public Health at The University of Hong Kong, said.
The World Health Organization offered guidance to countries on how they can prepare for it, including how to monitor for the sick and how to treat patients.
Here are seven things you should know about a coronavirus.
What is a coronavirus？
Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic[ˌzəʊəˈnəʊtɪk]（人畜共患病）, meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Coronavirus symptoms（症狀）
The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild（輕度） to moderate（中度） upper respiratory tract illness（上呼吸道疾病）, similar to a common cold. Coronavirus symptoms include a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days.
For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there’s a chance the virus could cause a lower, and much more serious, respiratory tract illness like a pneumonia or bronchitis[brɒŋˈkaɪtɪs]（支氣管炎）.
There are a handful of human coronaviruses that are known to be deadly.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome（中東呼吸綜合征）, also known as the MERS virus, was first reported in the Middle East in 2012 and also causes respiratory problems, but those symptoms are much more severe. Three to four out of every 10 patients infected with MERS died, according to the CDC.
網絡異常取消重新上傳
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome（嚴重急性呼吸綜合征）, also known as SARS, is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms. First identified in the Guangdong province in southern China, according to the WHO, it causes respiratory problems but can also cause diarrhea [ˌdaɪəˈriə]（腹瀉）, fatigue （疲勞）, shortness of breath, respiratory distress （呼吸窘迫） and kidney failure （腎衰）. Depending on the patient’s age, the death rate with SARS ranged from 0-50% of the cases, with older people being the most vulnerable.
How it spreads
Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels, according to the WHO. With SARS, scientists suspected civet cats （狸貓） were to blame.
When it comes to human-to-human transmission of the viruses, often it happens when someone comes into contact with the infected person’s secretions [sɪˈkriːʃ(ə)n]（分泌物）.
Depending on how virulent [ˈvɪrələnt] （有毒的）the virus is, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause exposure. The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Caregivers （護理人員） can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient’s waste, according to the CDC.
