Children and the elderly sometimes fail to correctly understand the importance of new pneumonia. How should we explain it to them?

Tell them more about the harm of novel coronavirus, and let them watch novel coronavirus's documentary and news broadcast, the number of patients every day, and how to prevent diseases. Because the elderly and children may not have much contact with the outside world and the sources of information are not very extensive, they do not realize the seriousness and infectivity of COVID-19.

I remember when Wu Hanyou had unexplained pneumonia, I reminded my parents to wear masks when they went out, but they didn't think so. They think that SARS is so serious, there are only a few people here, and it has not spread, so the disease will definitely not spread, and it is definitely not serious, and now it is not human-to-human, let alone dead, so it doesn't care at all.

People are still coming and going in the market downstairs. People in Little Square are still close, and those who don't wear masks are chatting. Later, Academician Zhong Nanshan came out and said that this thing would be passed from person to person, so I told my parents that Academician Zhong Nanshan said that people were passed from person to person, so they must wear masks when going out, but I found that they still didn't care too much, thinking that SARS was so serious all the time, and they were all right, so the illness would not be so serious.

It was not until the morning of the first grade that I told them that hundreds of new cases were reported online yesterday that they realized the seriousness of the disease and there was a tense atmosphere everywhere. Online masks, protective equipment, disinfectant and hand sanitizer are all sold out, and they are all out of stock. It happens that some Taobao shops basically don't deliver goods during the New Year, and the existing masks have been fired for hundreds of dollars. It was already very serious, but I think there will still be old people downstairs. Maybe they stayed at home, too, and came out to talk to someone because they were really bored. Later, the community closed and the price of vegetables went up. Only then did I know that the matter was serious. There was no one downstairs in the second day of junior high school.
