¿A qué se refiere el científico cuando dice "no tengo claro si hay un vínculo directo entre esta pandemia del Coronavirus y la a
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Se refiere a que la hipótesis actualmente más aceptada indicando que la actual pandemia ha sido una consecuencia directa de la alteración humana de los ecosistemas naturales donde habitan murciélagos (es decir, los hospedadores originales del virus) todavía debe ser demostrada  

Explanation:

En relación a la actual pandemia, está demostrado científicamente que el coronavirus es un virus estrechamente emparentado (genéticamente) con otros coronavirus presentes en murciélagos que naturalmente habitan la región sudeste de China. Respecto a esto, ha sido planteada la hipótesis que la actual pandemia debería ser una consecuencia de la alteración antrópica (humana) de ecosistemas naturales de los murciélagos hospedadores con fines económicos, es decir, para ser vendidos como alimento, donde poblaciones de murciélagos habrían sido diezmadas, lo cual habría desencadenado el salto del virus hacia nuevos hospedadores como la especie humana. De este modo, los humanos se habrían convertido en "hospedadores naturales" del actual virus. Sin embargo, esta hipótesis hasta ahora es solamente una hipótesis y debe ser confirmada por evidencia científica. Otras hipótesis menos extendidas incluyen, por ejemplo, el uso de la biotecnología para crear virus en laboratorios o el calentamiento global como desencadenante de la destrucción de hábitats naturales de aquellos murciélagos que fueron los hospedadores primarios del virus.

Stress relates to nutrition in that ... and it relates to substance abuse in that ...​
enot [183]

Answer:

stress relates to nutrition in that <em>the more stressed a person is, the more likely he'll crave for food or not eat at all</em>

and it relates to substance abuse in that<em> stressed individuals sometimes make poor choices in managing stress</em>

Explanation:

"Stress" is a normal reaction of a person's body when faced with unexpected, challenging or demanding things.

The more stressed a person is, the more likely he'll choose unhealthy foods or those foods which are high in sugar. At this time, it is the person's comfort food. There's also a possibility that the person will not eat anything at all or skip his meals because of overthinking or doing many things.

Sometimes, a person makes poor choices in managing/coping with stress such as turning into substance abuse, smoking, binge-drinking and so on.

What would doctors do if there's a power outage in the hospital?

Answer:while try to get am alternative power supply

For the patient with breathing problem, first aid can be performed

Firstly Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse. If necessary, begin CPR.

Loosen any tight clothing.

Help the person use any prescribed medicine (such as an asthma inhaler or home oxygen).

Continue to monitor the person's breathing and pulse until medical help arrives. DO NOT assume that the person's condition is improving if you can no longer hear abnormal breath sounds, such as wheezing.

If there are open wounds in the neck or chest, they must be closed immediately, especially if air bubbles appear in the wound. Bandage such wounds at once.

A "sucking" chest wound allows air to enter the person's chest cavity with each breath. This can cause a collapsed lung. Bandage the wound with plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or gauze pads covered with petroleum jelly, sealing it on three sides, leaving one side unsealed. This creates a valve to prevent air from entering the chest through the wound, while allowing trapped air to escape from the chest through the unsealed side.
