A POSSIBLE WAY FOR PREVENTING THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS

ABSTRACT
All living cells are affected deadly by their environmental temperature, a relatively higher temperature results in a higher metabolic rate, but when it reaches a threshold, its death acceleration occurs. The same principle is also valid for the Covid-19 virus. This paper suggests a sample way to its prevention by a hot cup of water under the noise. The vapor with a high temperature can make the virus greatly inactive. An optimal height from a boiling water surface is recommended.
