COVID-19

The adventure of a lifetime! No doubt

that’s what Quebecers Diane and

Bernard Menard hoped for when they

boarded the Diamond Princess cruise

ship on January 20. The 3700

passengers and crew were departing

from Yokohama, Japan. They were

embarking on a 14-day ocean voyage

to China, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

The Menards’ dream trip would soon

turn into a nightmare. On January 25,

an 80-year-old passenger was

whisked off the boat when it arrived

in Hong Kong. At a hospital she was

diagnosed with COVID-19. It’s a

potentially dangerous – and highly

contagious – strain of a family of

diseases called coronaviruses.

A Bad Cold – Or Much Worse?

Coronaviruses cause diseases in birds

and mammals. They can also cause

common colds in humans. The viruses

primarily spread when infected

people cough or sneeze. Germs can

live on surfaces for up to nine days.

Some exposed people never show

symptoms. Others develop fever,

cough, and shortness of breath in two

to 14 days. Often, COVID-19 is no

worse than a bad cold. But for those

with heart and lung issues or weak

immune systems, it can turn into

pneumonia or bronchitis and prove

fatal. Elderly people are especially

vulnerable.

Quarantined!

Fearing the spread of COVID-19

throughout the ship, the crew sailed

the Diamond Princess back to Japan.

Health officials then quarantined all

passengers. They were confined to

their cabins for 14 days.

Still, by mid-February, 454 passengers

developed the bug, including 15

Canadians. The Menards, both 75

years old, were among them. The sick

received medical treatment. The 131

Canadians on the ship who tested

negative returned to Canada on

February 21. Once home, they were

quarantined on military bases for 14

more days.

A Fast-Moving Virus

The world first learned of

COVID-19 in December, after some

pneumonia cases appeared in the

Chinese city of Wuhan, home to 11

million people.

Ground zero was likely a seafood

market. On that site, some merchants

illegally sell marmots, birds, rabbits,

bats, snakes, and other creatures.

Experts believe that the virus jumped

from infected wildlife to humans,

then began spreading from person to

person.

The Chinese Response

China took massive measures to try to

contain the outbreak. It suspended all

travel in many regions. Outdoor

activities were banned. Tens of

millions of citizens were quarantined

in their homes. In late January, a

1000-bed hospital was built in just six

days to treat cases.

News of the outbreak coincided with

China’s huge Lunar New Year travel

season. The holiday was extended to


- 8 -

discourage people from passing on

the bug through travel.

A “Public Health Emergency”

Yet the disease still spread. On

January 30, the World Health

Organization (WHO) declared COVID-

19 a “public health emergency of

international concern.” It called for

global action to contain the outbreak.

WHO’s director, Dr. Tedros

Gebreyesus, said countries with weak

health systems were most at risk. The

reason? They don’t have the

resources to treat large numbers of

sick people.

Uncertain Outcome

By late February, over 79,000 people

worldwide had developed COVID-19.

More than 2600 had died. The vast

majority were in China. However,

there were 500 cases elsewhere.

Canada had 11 cases but no fatalities.

There was some good news: the

number of new cases in China

appeared to be dropping. But new

instances were reported in Italy, Iran,

and South Korea. Disturbingly, the

victims couldn’t be linked to China or

other confirmed cases.

Dr. Gebreyesus urged countries to

keep working to contain the virus. But

he said they must also prepare for the

possibility that it will become

widespread.

“It’s in our hands now,” he said. “If we

do well within the narrowing window

of opportunity... we can avert any

serious crisis.”

A Class of Killer Diseases

Science has identified hundreds of coronaviruses, but only seven so far have mutated to infect humans – and just two

have resulted in outbreaks. The first was Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which began in China in 2002. It

infected nearly 8100 people worldwide and caused 774 deaths. Canada was the hardest-hit country outside of China,

with 44 people dying of the illness before it was contained in July 2003.

The second serious outbreak was Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS. It started in Saudi Arabia in 2012 but

didn’t escalate until 2014. It was a virulent version of the strain. By the time it was controlled in 2015, it had infected

1329 people, killing nearly half of them.

Should You Worry?

There is no vaccine yet to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Still, your chances of catching the virus are very low.

Why? Because Canada has been acting to prevent COVID-19 from taking hold here. Hospitals were alerted to look out

for possible cases. And officials brought in airport screening procedures in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. As well,

people suspected of having the disease have been quarantined.

There are measures you can take, too. Wash your hands thoroughly, avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, and

avoid people with flu symptoms.

avert: to prevent something bad or harmful from happening

quarantine: to keep a person or animal away from others to stop a disease from spreading

virulent: extremely dangerous and deadly
