Coronavirus /kəˈrəʊnəˌvʌɪrəs/ is the word on everybody's lips at the moment. It's an example in English pronunciation of how the vowel sound /ə/ appears on weak syllables that are spelt with any vowel:

Its full name is Severe Acute Res piratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 /sɪˈvɪə əˈkjuːt rɛsˈpɪrətri ˈsɪndrəʊm kəˈrəʊnəˌvʌɪrəs ˈtuː/. If you don't have time to say that in every sentence, novel /ˈnɒv(ə)l/ coronavirus is considerably shorter; the word 'novel' meaning 'new' .

COVID-19 /ˌkəʊvɪd nʌɪnˈtiːn/ is the disease that develops from novel coronavirus, and it can cause deadly pneumonia /njuˈməʊniə/.

Novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March. Having started as an epidemic /ɛpɪˈdɛmɪk/ it spread all over the world creating new epicentres /ˈɛpisɛntəz/ of local contagion /kənˈteɪdʒən/. The initial outbreak /ˈaʊʔbreɪk/ was in Wuhan in China.

The virus is zoonotic meaning that it was passed from animal to human, though it is not yet clear how, or when this occurred. Some symptoms /ˈsɪmptəmz/ of COVID-19 are similar to flu /fluː/:

But many infected people seem to display no symptoms at all - they are asymptomatic /eɪˌsɪmptəˈmatɪk/.

The incubation period /ɪŋkjʊˈbeɪʃ(ə)n ˌpɪərɪəd/ of up to 14 days makes it difficult to diagnose /ˈdʌɪəgnəʊz/ early, and there is currently no vaccine /ˈvaksiːn/, so prevention is the most effective protection. Washing hands is something everybody should do regularly, though you definitely shouldn't:

The elderly and immunocompromised /ɪˌmjuːnəʊˈkɒmprəmʌɪzd/ are particularly at risk from COVID-19 with higher death rates /ˈdɛθ ˌreɪts/ recorded for both groups.

Hospitals have struggled to find enough respirators /ˈrɛspɪreɪtəz/ to protect health workers, and ventilators /ˈvɛntɪleɪtəz/ to help sick patients breathe /briːð/.

Most news shows now feature an epidemiologist - an expert in the control and spread of disease /dɪˈziːz/ who also needs to be an expert in pronunciation to say their job title. Scientist /ˈsʌɪəntɪst/ is a more general, and easier to pronounce alternative.

Reaction by many countries to the rapidly spreading pathogen /ˈpaθədʒən/ has been in the form of compound words (2 words joined together) such as lockdown /ˈlɒkdaʊn/, self-isolation /ˌsɛlf ʌɪsəˈleɪʃ(ə)n/ and social distance /ˌsəʊʃ(ə)l ˈdɪstəns/.

We'll end with two curious words of Latin origin that have formed part of many people's daily lives recently. Both start with different pronunciations of the letters QU: q uarantine is from the Italian word for '40 days', and queue is from the French word for 'tail'.

What can you do to stop burglars from coming into your home? In this activity you will read some tips about how to prevent burglary in your home.
Preventing burglary in your home
What can you do to stop burglars from getting in to your home?

Here is some useful advice:
Doors and windows
Make sure your front door and door frame (the part around the door) are strong and have good quality locks.You should also have locks on your windows, especially windows on the ground floor, or where a burglar could easily get in.Always lock your doors and windows when yougo out or go away.Don't leave door and window keys in or near the doors and windows. Burglars sometimes use a fishing rod to get the keys.Do not leave valuable items such as money or jewellery where a burglar could see them. Hide them away in a safe place.If someone knocks at your door, and you don't know the person, always ask them for ID.
Going out or going away
If you go out for the evening, close the curtains in your living room and leave the light on. Then the burglar will think there is someone at home.If you go away for a longer time you should think about getting a timer for your living room lights. You can time it to switch the lights on in the evening and switch them off at the time when you normally go to bed. You can ask a neighbour or friend to open the curtains in the daytime and close them in the evening.If you are going away for a longer time you can also leave valuable items at your friend's house.Ask a neighbour or friend to pick up post or other things that are delivered to your home. If burglars see a lot of parcels or post inside or outside your door they will know you are away and that it is a good time to try to burgle your home.
Other things you can do
If you know there have been a lot of burglaries in your area it might be a good idea to get a burglar alarm.Use a special pen (a UV pen) to mark your valuable items with your postcode, house number and the first two letters of your name. This will make it more difficult for the burglar to sell your things to someone else. You can also register your property with www.immobilise.com. This is free, and it will help the police to identify your things if they find them. It will also help if you need to get the money back on your insurance.Try to get to know your neighbours. Keep an eye on their home when they go away, and they will keep an eye on yours. See if there is a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in your area,(A group of people in an area look out for each other's property).
