Dear Strategists (another reason to play SOM Online) : This post is intended as Preventative & Preparedness NOT panic. The coronavirus is here (we just don't have enough test kits). IMHO Start training your mind now to assume everything that is not yours has coronavirus on it. Get in the habit of thinking it's on every surface. Then you will be used to it by the time it's here, e.g., don't let anyone pet your dog, and don't pet anyone else's dog. Be careful not to hurt yourself so you don't have to go to the doctor or especially the ER.

Quotes from the article:
When something dangerous is growing exponentially, everything looks fine until it doesn’t. In the early days of the Wuhan epidemic, when no one was taking precautions, the number of cases appears to have doubled every four to five days.
The hospital emptying out, the wards eerily silent as they waited for the patients they couldn’t quite believe would come … and then, the 'tsunami'
The virus is here, and it is spreading quickly, even though everything looks normal. Right now, the United States has more reported cases than Italy had in late February. What matters isn’t what you can see but what you can’t: the patients who will need ICU care in two to six weeks

I just hope I know I have it when it hits. I don't want to give it to anyone else if I get it and am asymptomatic. That's a bigger fear for me than catching the thing. I think I can ride it out if I get it. If I don't then I guess I don't. But I think I can.
