1voyager1 - ironyak, You can say and believe what you want. We do disagree.
I also have no interest in arguing with you 1v1. Either you've taken some precautions for the possible down-side or you haven't. Given your background and demeanor, I doubt that you need to be given the bullets, beans, and band-aids pamphlet. So other than minimizing contact & thorough hand/face hygiene currently, I'm not sure what other recommendations you'd expect?
Like I said, the next few weeks will be very telling, especially as we get more data from outside of China which is less suspect. Even with just 2% CFR that would be near Spanish flu levels so if this isn't contained it could well be a major pandemic. However, SARS had 10% CFR and MERS had 30% CFR, but neither had any major health impacts here in Hawaii or more broadly in the U.S.
What's your advice for what everyone does in the meantime while we wait to find out?
