(By The New York Times) Here’s what you can do:

· Unles you are already infected, face masks won’t help you
· Stock up on home supplyes, medicine and resources
· Prepare your family, and comunicate your plan

· About to go on vacation? Try to keep far from any risk

The coronavirus continues to spread in Asia, Europe and the Middlle East, with more than 70 cases and many deaths confirmed in the United States (up to March 2nd). While the Food and Drug Administration announced this weekend that testing in the United States would be greatly expanded, healthy experts have been warning that the virus spread in the country is inevitable. That means it’s time to prepare your home and family in case your community is affected.
Most important: Do not panic. While the outbreak is a serious public health concern, the majority of those who contract the coronavirus do not become seriouslly ill, and only a small percentage require intensive care.

Acima, os verbos em destaque estão no Simple Past:

O Simple Past ou Passado Simples é um tempo verbal utilizado para indicar ações, no passado, que já foram concluídas, ou seja, essas ações começaram e terminaram no passado.  

Formação do Simple Past

Feita com o uso do auxiliar did nas formas negativa e interrogativa, e, para os verbos regulares, com o acréscimo das terminações –ed, –ied ou –d ao final do verbo principal no infinitivo, sem o to, na forma afirmativa.

Exemplos:  

-to dance: danced  

- to want: wanted

- to study: studied  

- to need: needed

Quando os verbos são irregulares, deve-se verificar qual a sua forma no Simple Past, pois eles não possuem regras.

Exemplos:

- to fly: flew

- to be: was (singular), were (plural)

- to have: had

Forma afirmativa: Sujeito + verbo principal no Simple Past + complemento

Ex: I wanted to eat a burger (Eu queria comer um hambúrguer)

Forma Negativa: Sujeito + did + not + verbo principal + complemento

Ex: She did not want to swim (Ela não queria nadar)  

Forma Interrogativa: Did + sujeito + verbo principal + complemento

Ex: Did you go to the movies? (Você foi ao cinema?)
