Keep Updated_Video 07

Consider the video below and go over the questions in order to prepare yourself
for the class!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-rA4JnP_aM&t=43s
What is the video about? Make short notes on the main ideas:
→ Tempo verbal simples
→ Verbos são elementos que regem a oração.
→ Simple present: forma-se com o infinitivo sem a partícula “to” → utilizado
para narrar fatos, descrições, opiniões, acontecimentos históricos
→ Simple past: adiciona-se, em verbos regulares a terminação “D” ou “ED”

What are the strategies presented by Teacher Gabriel? Have you ever heard
about them?
Percebe-se a importância do verbo para o entendimento do texto em relação às
suas ideias globais. É importante notar que a variação do tempo utilizado pode
ser uma grande pista do gênero do texto e do tipo de informação que ali irá

A partir do uso dessas duas estratégias, escreva no quadro abaixo, com suas
palavras, a ideia geral/principal do texto.

MAIN IDEA:
O texto diferencia o coronavirus de demais doenças respiratórias e alerta para a
durabilidade do coronavirus em nossa sociedade.

No Keep Updated de hoje aprendemos um pouco sobre Formas Verbais: presente

e passado, e como identificá-las corretamente pode nos ajudar na compreensão
do texto. Antes de ler a matéria por completo, vamos revisar: responda as
perguntas abaixo sobre estas formais verbais.

Quais são alguns dos principais usos do Simple Present?

fatos, descrições, opiniões, acontecimentos históricos

Como é formado o Simple Past em verbos regulares?

( ) adiciona-se S no fim dos verbos;
( x ) adiciona-se D ou ED no fim dos verbos;
( ) adiciona-se WAS ou WERE na frente de todos os verbos;

Agora, utilizando a estratégia Scanning, responda:

O que o texto diz a respeito das síndrome respiratória aguda grave( SARS)?
As sars são mais simples de combater do que o coronavirus uma vez que as
pessoas por elas afetadas só passam a transmitir as doenças após apresentarem
os sintomas.

Nothing Like SARS: Researchers Warn The
Coronavirus Will Not Fade Away Anytime

Let's think back to the early days of 2020, before a pandemic was declared. A new virus had surfaced and was
infecting humans but had limited global spread. The World Health Organization and other health officials
hoped that this novel coronavirus could be contained and wiped out.

And it wasn't just wishful thinking. Less than two decades ago, another emerging coronavirus struck: SARS
(severe acute respiratory syndrome). Health authorities were able to control it in eight months. No new cases
have been found since 2004.
As late as March 2, WHO was still optimistic. "Containment of COVID-19 is feasible," said Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, WHO's director-general. "With early, aggressive measures, countries can stop transmission."
Those who believed it could disappear were hopeful that the coronavirus wouldn't be able to tolerate the heat
and humidity of summer — or that vast swaths of people who recovered from infections would contribute
to herd immunity and stop the virus from spreading further.

But now, COVID-19 has circled the globe and is sweeping rapidly through tropical regions, and billions of
people remain susceptible to the virus. It's likely the disease will be here with us year-round and for years to
come, says Albert Ko, an epidemiologist at Yale and co-chair of the Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group.
Article continues after sponsor message
"This virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities, and this virus may never go away,"
said Michael Ryan, director of WHO's health emergencies program on May 13.
To call a virus "endemic" means that it has a constant presence in a specific location, explains Ngozi Erondu,
an epidemiologist and research fellow at Chatham House.
So why is this virus more difficult to combat than SARS? Why aren't the strategies that stamped out SARS
working as well?

There's a key difference between the two coronaviruses, and it has to do with a critical factor for control: the
period of time when infected people are most contagious, says Malik Peiris, a virologist at Hong Kong
University who has studied both viruses.
 PARANÁ FALA INGLÊS_UEL
LEITURA INSTRUMENTAL
With SARS, most people who became infected did not start spreading the virus until they were showing
symptoms. That made it easier to come up with a way to stop transmission. "As soon as somebody had a fever
and a cough, they were brought into medical care and tested, isolated, and the chains of transmission would be
broken," Peiris says.

The novel coronavirus, however, can be transmitted by people who are infected but aren't showing overt
symptoms. That makes it more difficult to contain. By the time people know they're sick, they may have
already spread it to others, Peiris says.

That ability to keep infecting people is what a disease needs to survive. You can see that when you look at how
other disease-causing viruses manage to stick around.

One example is the herpes virus, which can cause blisters or ulcers around the mouth or genitals. It has a "very
clever" strategy, Peiris says. Once a person is infected, the herpes virus hides out in their bodies. "From time to
time, it gets reactivated and causes a milder disease that allows it to transmit to other people," Peiris says, so
one person can keep transmitting the virus throughout their life. And there's currently no cure.
Other viruses rely on animals to keep alive — primates and bats, for Ebola. "It circulates in animals and spills
over [to humans] intermittently," Ko says. When the virus comes into contact with people, it can spread
quickly and is potentially deadly. A new Ebola outbreak, believed to have originated from animals, was
announced June 1 in western Democratic Republic of Congo, which has experienced three previous
outbreaks in the past six years.
A milder (although still potentially fatal) disease like flu has yet another strategy. Most people who catch the
flu virus get over it and become immune to the strains that infected them.
"As the population immunity builds up, [the virus] undergoes mutation," Peiris says. These constant changes
allow it to dodge our built-up immune system defenses — and circumvent past vaccines we've thrown at it.

But the novel coronavirus might not have the staying power of some of these other endemic viruses. For one
thing, it doesn't mutate as fast as flu. And it doesn't usually appear to hide out in the body after the initial
infection, WHO specialists say.
But dreams of a large, immune population are a long way off. For the novel coronavirus, researchers estimate
that at least 50% to 60% of the population must be immune to it to slow its spread. "We are nowhere near that
anywhere," Peiris says. Even in hard-hit places like New York City, only 20% of the population has been
exposed to the virus, according to estimates from health officials. And there are open questions about how long
recovered people are protected from reinfection, Peiris says.
What's more, there are still many hurdles to clear for vaccine development, Erondu says. "We keep getting
these very hopeful estimates," she says, "[but] we probably won't have a vaccine for another two years at the
minimum."

Peiris says it's possible a vaccine may come sooner — "maybe by early next year" — but that timeline assumes
that everything goes perfectly. "We have to realize that there has been no vaccine for coronaviruses in
humans," he says.

Meanwhile, even though 7.3 million people worldwide have been infected with the coronavirus, there are still
billions who are susceptible to infection.
