Helluva thing when a country let's a virus loose that is going to take out it's own people first. If they had the proper medical support, deaths would be few. Any flu always takes out some people. Trick is to get care immediately with pneumonia symptoms. Not the time to say "I never go to the doctor". Be smart. In Wuhan they do not have the option of getting help now, basically trapped. Y'all should get the disposable masks to wear in public, before they are hard to get. And remember to wash your hands; don't be out and about touching things and then touch your face, eyes etc without washing your hands. Little kids should not be at preschool etc in my opinion, if you get CV in your state. In my family it is always the wee ones who come home with illnesses that then go through the entire family.

Masks are already getting hard to get. You should look for N-95 masks. Forget about Amazon--the few that are available are hugely marked up in price (from the normal price of about $2/mask to $5+ each now). Look in Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, etc. Also get disposable gloves (Walmart) and antibacterial wipes. Stock up on food, OTC meds, etc. From everything I've been reading, this could be a devastating pandemic. I sure hope it just fizzles out, but, it may hit hard in other countries too.

Yep. Always comes home with the kids. I wonder if people outside of China should start worrying about public situations? Such a hard call to make
