Our friend here on myLot, @lookatdesktop Anthony Davis has set up a Face Book Group to link good information about the corona virus. His group is: All About COVID-19 .
I find the information being shared does a lot to reduce the panic that is going on and dispel the myths circulating.
It would be worth your while to join if you participate in Facebook.
I also followed a link to a video diary of a nurse from Wuhan who was infected and self quarantined and recovered. Of course, she is 24 and pretty healthy. I found it interesting that diagnosis comes from blood tests and CT scans of the lungs.
Keep informed. Check the sources, though.
And Wash Your Hands!

Simple and effective if done correctly.

I think anyone who keeps themselves clean and away from people who have colds is going to be ok.
I've only seen one thing that my friend posted on FB that was a little scary, she was out shopping in one of our walmarts when she saw a man sneezing and coughing all over items in a case of shelves, he even went so far as to wipe his snotty hands on the items and what's worse is he'd stayed in the same spot for over 30 minutes so she reported him to management as well as the police. She even found another shopper who'd seen him doing this. There are some really weird people out there these days.

I also wash my hands, and I think I am doing it longer and more thoroughly, too.

I like that the information often is coming from disease experts. Just you stay away from people, you are too vulnerable. Make everyone wash their hands.

You can take precautions, but still not panic.It pays to be informed.

@GardenGerty It doesn't seem to be helping the majority of the people. Not only are most stores out of toilet paper, but there are also empty shelves in the food aisles. It's getting scary to me.

@GardenGerty Thank you. I am raspy and oddly when I burp or hiccup, it burns.

There is a lot of false information out there so it's good to have a site that tells it as it is.
