Doctor who spends all day every day treating Covid-19 patients in New York tells us how to prevent it, how to get it, how to cure it.

How do you get Covid-19? Through sustained contact with someone who has this disease and has fever or aches, or, someone who is about to get the disease in the next one to two days.

By putting your hands to your face (eyes, nose, or mouth). Always know where your hands are, and have Purell. Masks are mainly to train people not to touch their faces.

Shrink your social circle. Isolate a vulnerable person.

If you are feeling short of breath, come to the hospital. A small percentage of those who come to the hospital need to be put on a ventilator for 7 to 10 days.
