Be smart and avoid those who are sick around you, and yea, maybe you shouldn't travel to areas where it is prevalent......but honestly, after ALL that we have been through, this, too, shall pass.

The Coronavirus is a family of viruses. SARS was a Coronavirus. The biggest difference here is that the Wuhan virus has a section of its genetic sequence that isn't natural. This genome section has been questioned repeatedly by virologists, yet isn't news worthy for some reason.
Wuhan has a level 4 virology lab that just happens to be 8 miles from the market which is blamed for the outbreak (even though patient zero never went there). This lab has a long and "googlable" history of working with Coronaviruses (with major funding coming from the US......oddly).
Apply the logic test, would China essentially shut down their economy for 2000ish deaths?
The Chinese doctor who identified this new virus and blew the whistle (and was silenced by the CCP) died from this virus.......do you think he thought to wash his hands?
We can all hope this blows over, but so far it's looking bad. Many businesses use the "just in time" stock model to reduce costs, situations like this show how vulnerable they've made themselves. If you run your house on the same model you might be in trouble. Everywhere it hits, supermarket shelves are empty in a day or two. Forget the masks, making sure you and the family can survive independently for a few weeks (or more) might be a prudent move.
