And to be clear, no one is calling this a pandemic yet. It is still too early to say that. But it is not too early to take as many precautions as necessary to prevent it from becoming a pandemic. In other words, no cause for panic, but be informed, be prepared, and be smart.

Find a cabin, or anything outside of any metropolis.
