Why the Coronavirus is far more infectious than SARS?

To say that this new virus is far more infectious than SARS is based on the following three facts:

First, the infected person does not have any symptoms during the incubation period of 10-14 days. Currently, airports, stations, and terminals are all measured with fever, but most of them are ineffective. This is why a city such as Shanghai, which is extremely well guarded against high fever persons, but there still emerge a large number of confirmed and suspected patients.

Second, and equally frightening is that this latent virus carrier does not have any symptoms himself and don't develop, but it is highly contagious. 

Third, the virus is not only transmitted through breathing, but may also be transmitted from the eyes by close contact with people who carry the virus. Therefore, strictly speaking, the tightest protection is not only wearing a mask, but also goggles. However, in fact, very few people in the hospital waiting for a crowded consultation are wearing goggles.

clear元素清除浮动float

 clear元素用来清除左边或者右边或者两边的浮动元素(float) 比如: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8">  <title>菜鸟教程(runoob.com)</title>  <style> img { float:left; border:1px solid red; } p.clear { clear:both; } </style> </head> <body> <img src="logocss.gif" width="95" height="84" /> <p>This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.</p> <p class="clear">This is also some text. This is also some text. This is also some text. This is also some text. This is also some text. This is also some text.</p> </body> </html> 第一段p没有指定clear,因此左边会有图片,而第二段class是clear,clear: both,清除了两边的浮动元素,左右都不会出现浮动元素,所以它自己占单独的行,不和其他浮动元素占一行。
