I’ve been posting on this on Twitter. Any way you look at it:
1. It was a Chinese bioweapon
2. They effed up on a grand scale.
As a caucasian person I’m not worried but I am taking precautions like working from home more often. I live rurally and I’m not too worried. Flu is a far larger risk.

I’m not taking any special precautions either. My husband doesn’t interact with many people at all where he works and my daughter and I hate going out period.
The only thing I’ve done is try and get enough preps in so we can hunker down forat least a few months if it really goes sour. The disruption in the supply chain from quarantined cities and closed factories is going to have a bad ripple effect. I have more fear around that and societal insanity overall than I do the virus. In my area, folks get shot over parking spaces and that’s on a good day. I can’t imagine how folks are going to act when there are shortages or enough people get sick and we start to have real problems here and they all panic and start acting like centipedes in a jar....
If it’s really as bad as they say it doesn’t look as though there will be much we can do to prevent it so just the normal things like washing up a lot, avoiding crowds and all of it is going to have to work.
