New Yorkers should continue going about their lives, and take the same commonsense precautions you would during flu season: wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and don’t touch your face with unwashed hands.

Given what is happening in South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy I think a pandemic is inevitable (although I still hope the future proves me wrong). We need to be prepared. And we should not panic. This is the time for making rational decisions and preparations!

From VP pool: Fauci described the science behind the coronavirus, saying it jumped from a bat to a “civic cat” served at feasts in China and then humans.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) February 27, 2020
“Lo an(sic) behold now...we have a new Coronavirus,” Fauci said. He said they are “almost certain” the virus jumped species.
“This virus has adapted extremely well to human species...this one has the capability of spreading readily from human to human,” Fauci said. Fauci noted seasonal influenza has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent but it is higher for Coronavirus.“We are dealing with a serious virus."
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) February 27, 2020
I assume Fauci said, or meant to say, “civet cat” not “civic cat” —although I guess it was also the latter.
