Stay safe and healthy everyone and WASH THOSE HANDS!
Exactly! If people would wash their hands before touching their faces, and before handing food, the virus would probably be stopped in its tracks.

With the CDC extolling the faults of regular people using masks (to which I say "double-down mask it"), how is China's populace looking now (other than as extras from a sci-fi dystopia)? Do those masks even work against Beijing's smog problem?
I think the advice that I've seen to sneeze or cough into a tissue is bad advice because if you have Coronovirus some of it would likely get on the hand holding the tissue. I think better advice is to cough into your sleeve or, if coughing into a tissue, then you must wash your hands afterwards. I also think with everyone rushing to the public toilets or toilets at work to wash their hands that these toilets need to be cleaned more frequently - and here I mean the door handles, taps etc. And this leads me to a personal gripe - toilets that are so badly designed that you have to turn door handles to get into the toilets or into the cubicles or turn taps...... Better design of toilets is important and you should be able to get in and out without using your hands.
And when you wash your hands use hot water and soap and for the required time
What of those who don't wear sleeves? It should be more effective to cough/sneeze into one's shirt, since it provides a larger barrier than an elbow (which is too small an area to aim at effectively) and the expeller will also be looking down, aiming the cough/sneeze in a safer direction. The only potential dangers of this method are snot on one's chest and a stretched neckline (boo friggin hoo, you yuckmouths).
As for hands, if one is inclined to go full David from Prometheus and touch everything in creation, it would be wise to just invest in a sturdy pair of gloves. Saves on water and washing time. Just don't handle gloves like Jack Nicholson did in As Good As It Gets - it's a HORRIBLE example of how to stay disinfected.
I'm with you on toilets, especially ones without lids to keep the flush from spreading up and out. I'mma thow up now...
PS: The only silver lining I can glean from this whole ordeal is that it's turning everyone into microbiophobes. I just hope that's not a fad.

Prior to this, the only effect on people I knew from coronavirus were two of my friends in London who are of Chinese parentage being racially abused by strangers in two separate incidents.
Obviously racists who think the Corona virus is now excuse to attack others. That is just ##$%!
I am not currently affected myself, but the area where I currently reside. Schools are closed, (public) public events delayed or cancelled.

What of those who don't wear sleeves?
Cough into someone else's sleeve?
Brilliant! I mean, I was gonna shoot one measly anti-aircraft missile launcher into my sleeve, but this'll do!
How come most of these virus epidemics originate in China or Asia?
WTF are they up to, or doing wrong?
Bees! Millions of bees!!! NAHT THE BEES AUAAGUAGHAGUAHGUAGHAGH!
(Hong Kong and Tibet should run)

Now the first person I actually know (our next door neighbor) is staying at home. She may just have a regular cold/flu or the Corona virus, is not tested (they just cannot currently test everyone, such is the situation, concentrating on those where it is likely). In here case, the mother of a colleague has been affected. Her colleague has not. So chances are, she does not have it either and has just incidentally caught a cold/flu.
(PS: I say "cold/flu" as it is not even yet quite clear what it is... she is just staying currently staying home.)
