My personal opinion is a lot of handwashing, and prudence like not sharing towels, and general cleanliness in the toilet, and NOT STRESSING will help. As far as I can tell it does not kill everybody. Lots of people won't get it at all, lots of people will get it and get better. Stress does not help one little bit, with this.

Being clean, fed, with good morale, being calm, would be good.

Why would a vigorous young, or young ish, Chinese doctor, trained and equipped, die of it? Stress, and repeated exposure. But stress is a big factor, just in my opinion. Overwork, lack of sleep.

Panic will actually physically hurt you, so I would say not to do that.

My private uneducated opinion based on nothing is I would concentrate more on supporting getting over it, than on not getting it. Obviously we try to not get it. But let us be in a position to get over it.

I am no professional.

Prudence is good.

I remark that the US produces its own food, has salt deposits, has its own oil in abundance, has many waterways.

It would not be stupid to ponder gardening websites and figure out if any sunny patches where you live can produce food. "Home Grown Veg" is a Youtube channel about a Scotsman who makes interesting things happen in ten-inch buckets, such as carrots and potatoes. Spring is coming. There are many suppliers, such as Baker Creek among many others. Everything is on Amazon, soil, containers, all of it.

Not sunlight. That you need.

Even that can be bought, in lamps, but sunlight is the main thing.

NOT so fast ... many if not most of the agriculture chemical components are manufactured in china e.g. you can't go to India, Mexico or other countries to get the stuff needed for farming

Exactly, none of the Chinese health workers are working less than 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Well they are brave.

But we aren't in their position so we should try to keep stress and panic down. You can literally make yourself sick that way.
