I think I have had a very interesting
working life. I have been a doctor my
whole life, I retired about five years ago. I
have been a doctor since 1970. I was a
doctor in the army hospital for 40 years. I
retired when I was 60. I'm 7O now. As a
doctor, I have been to so many countries
that I can't remember all of them. I was in
Africa where I helped people with the Ebola epidemic. I have
been to Australia six or seven times with medical health
missions and to South America three or four times. I remember
that I helped indigenous people in the rainforest of Brazil, it
was a beautiful experience with many young doctors and
nurses. There, we cured people that suffered from Malaria and
other tropical diseases.

retirement to help people in the crisis of Coronavirus. Many
other colleagues are back, too. We are soldiers of health and
we are ready to combat this mortal enemy. It is exciting being
at the hospital again. Young doctors are ready to learn from
old doctors because of our experiences, but they also now that
we learn from them, too. My experience with tropical diseases
is very helpful at the hospital. I have been treating patients
with Malaria medication to lower the effects of Coronavirus.
Of course, we do the best we can and as in a war, many people
die but many others recover and we are happy for that. That
enemy is strong but we never get back down, we are health
soldiers and we are ready to offer our lives to save people’s.

CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK
A worldwide crisis

Reading. Breaking news. A strange virus spreads in China

Lee el texto y responde cada una de las actividades 1 y 2

“An international outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus has killed at least 132 people and
sickened about 6,000, according to the Chinese health authorities. The outbreak began in Wuhan, China, apparently
at a market selling live poultry, seafood and wild animals.

Now the virus has turned up in more than a dozen other countries, including Japan, South Korea, France, Australia
and the United States. Investigators in still other nations, and in several American states, are evaluating possible
cases…Schools have been closed in affected regions. Major attractions, festivals and movie theaters have been
closed down, and sales of tourist packages from China to other countries have been halted. Federal health officials
are telling Americans not to visit the Wuhan area, and to avoid traveling to any part of China unless necessary. Some airlines are cutting back on
flights to China because of low demand. Five cases have been confirmed in the United States: one in Washington State; one in Chicago; one in Arizona;
and two in California. All patients had recently traveled to China. More than 100 other patients are being tested. But much is still unknown about the
newly identified virus, including how easily it is transmitted and how often it causes severe disease that can lead to death. We will continue informing
about this strange virus.
