“I have to warn that there is a lot of reports and studies out there suggesting the virus is aerosolized, which is why medical professionals are getting infected treating it as a normal flu. It will require another level than normal flu protocol. Social distancing is going to be the best bet, if possible. Won’t be for most unless they quarantine towns.”
Yep, that’s why I didn’t bother with the masks. Better than nothing, and certainly helpful if someone sneezes your way, but to think you’ll be protected if you get into a taxi for 20 minutes with a vector...it’s delusional. As I noted, just not getting in that taxi, if any way possible, is better. And likewise, if you do have to ride in a cab, open the windows to the extent possible...the fresh air may save you if your driver is a vector.
Masks serve, if nothing else, as an ever-present reminder to not touch your face
