Up to now, the tweet has received more than 470,000 likes. Meanwhile, the American netizen also actively gave their replies in the comment area. “I feel like we are now a third world country but your kind is appreciated. Gratitude!”a netizen said.

The Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation have donated much-needed materials to regions suffering in the epidemic over the past few weeks, including Japan, South Korea, Italy, Egypt, Iran and Spain, according to a tweet from the Jack Ma Foundation on Friday.

Ma said the outbreak presents "a huge challenge to all humankind in a globalized world," and that he has drawn from his own country's experience that quick and accurate testing as well as protective equipment for medical personnel are most effective in preventing the spread of the virus.

The past two months show us that if we take it very seriously and are proactive, we are more than capable of containing the virus.

Now it is as if we were all living in the same forest on fire. As members of the global community, it would be irresponsible of us to sit on the fence, panic, ignore facts or fail to act. We need to take action now!

B篇

Leading health experts from the CDC and the WHO have made it clear that minimizing the impact of coronavirus means lessening transmission(减少传播) by staying home. For people who like social interaction, the practice can be troubling. But how can we ease the anxiety resulting from it? Here, Dr. David·H·Rosmarin, professor of Harvard Medical School, will show you three approaches.

1. Remember that social distancing doesn’t mean social isolation(隔离)

"Social distancing does not mean social isolation,” Dr. Rosmarin says. “We can use electronic means to connect to each other.”

Rosmarin says phoning friends and staying in touch can allow us to maintain our connections, though he cautions that social media doesn’t provide the same benefits. “Social media and news might make you feel connected, but it creates distance,” Dr. Rosmarin says. Instead, call or conference people you know personally, one-on-one.

2. Don’t let the news cycle dictate(左右) your emotions.

The coronavirus situation is dynamic and seems to change by the hour, resulting in a number of people feeling compelled(强迫的) to stay on top of updates by constantly checking their phones for new information. While that can be stressful at any time, it can affect your ability to relax if you surf news outlets just before going to sleep. “People need to be shutting off information an hour before they go to bed,” Dr. Rosmarin says. “It’s not a good time to be watching the news.” It’s very unlikely an update will be so urgent or pressing it would lose relevance(关联) by morning. Sleep is criticalto a healthy immune system(免疫系统), and giving yourself an opportunity to relax is important.

Rosmarin also recommends avoiding scrolling during mealtimes for the same reason. In some cases, it may be best to avoid news or news outlets that make you feel particularly stressed. WHO recommends checking in on the news once or twice a day at specific times, and getting information from reliable sources to avoid rumors and misinformation.

3. Don’t ignore regular routine.

Do laundry on Sundays? Keep doing it on Sunday. Not going to work? Get dressed anyway. Maintaining(维持) a semblance(外貌) of a regular routine will go a long way toward helping you avoid feelings of disorganization and unpredictability.

“Anxiety is just the beginning,” Rosmarin says. “Within a week or two, people are probably going to start feeling depressed, sad, and lethargic, especially since we are distancing from one another. That’s really where the benefits of scheduling come in.”

Sticking to your normal sleep and wake times, your exercise routine, and other practices will maintain feelings of familiarity. It will also help you adjust when the world returns—as it inevitably will—to normalcy.
