New Virus Details Show Challenges for Outbreak Control At first,scientists were relieved that the new virus,COVID-19,wasn't as dangerous as those that caused SARS,Ebola or some other recent infectious diseases.(1)GG.Here are some of the challenges.
Multiplying infections
According to the existing data,the infection rate for SARS is 3 while the ordinary flu's infection rate is about 1.1.Now,based on the first 425 confirmed COVID-19 cases,each infection led to 2.2 more infections on average.(2)DD.Yet we don't know whether the new virus is weakening or is still learning what it can do.
Varying incubation periods (潛伏期)
Scientists estimated(估計)the average incubation period was roughly five days,but said it could last up to two weeks.(3)CC.People can move away from where they got it and not even remember places where they may have been exposed.
Spreading in stealth
Another big worry is that one person with no symptoms can also infect others.On Thursday,scientists reported that a woman who was not ill at the time spread the virus to a man in Germany during a business trip there.(4)FF.
Testing gaps
(5)BB.At present,a few types of test kits(工具包)have been developed.But they are not accurate enough.Scientists are not sure how many false alarms or missed cases each might give at any point in time.That leaves a key gap.
Although scientists are still faced with so many challenges,they are confident that the new virus will be put under control soon.
A.More testing equipment should be provided at once.
B.It's still a struggle to determine who is or is not infected.
C.Such a long potential incubation period can be a problem.
D.The rate is a bit lower than SARS but much higher than ordinary flu.
E.That is a very low infection rate compared with that of SARS and Ebola.
F.Then he infected several other coworkers before showing any symptoms.
G.However,new details show how challenging it could be to control this outbreak.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
