1. Advise parents to wear masks and be patient.
Many elderly people don't like to wear masks, because in their minds, they never think that getting sick is terrible, but a mask can stop all bacteria. In other words, the elderly find it troublesome to wear masks. Therefore, as young people, we must have patience to convince our parents, because their parents are old and their immunity is extremely low, and many elderly people have basic diseases. Facing the severe pneumonia epidemic, it is a great threat to middle-aged and elderly people. Therefore, for the health of parents, we must also wear masks to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
2. You can watch prevention videos with your parents.
Many old people have old-fashioned ideas and can't accept the transmission of ideas from young people. But we can give them ideological propaganda and guidance, and find some online experts for them, such as a popular science propaganda given by Professor Zhong Nanshan. Because Professor Zhong Nanshan is an authoritative expert, he is also an old man. He is highly respected. I believe his propaganda and popular science knowledge can give your parents some correct guidance.
In the face of this sudden pneumonia epidemic in China, governments at all levels have made great efforts to publicize it. I believe your hometown will also do some related publicity. You can ask them to do some work for your parents. My family started wearing masks only after being persuaded by everyone. At present, the environmental pollution is serious and the epidemic situation is severe. Everyone should do the necessary protective work. It is still very helpful.
