What do you need to know about Coronavirus from China?

I think I was under panic attack last week lol...but now there is much more coverage and awareness, I'm at ease. What do you need to know about the Coronavirus?

1. The incubation period is from 1 to 14 days. Before showing any symptoms, the patients are most probably infectious. 

2. Some infected don't show any symptoms, which means some patients are infectious and moving around but we don't even know.

3. It's airborne, meaning a patient's sneeze that floats in the air could infect whole lot of people, especially if that's a "super infectious" ( a Chinese term, don't know if it applies to English). A "super infectious" could infect up to 14 people. The average infecting rate is 2.6, meaning averagely each patient could infect 2.6 others, without prevention.

4. Mask N95, 3M only could prevent it, and keep a 2-meter distance to the patient. Note: N95 3M one-time use are mostly out of stock in bay area, reusable ones still have some stock in Amazon. Get some,  just in case. 

5. Wash your hands as often as possible, each time at least 20 seconds with soup/detergent. 75% alcohol hand sanitizer also works, apply it as often as possible. 

6. Elderly, young and the sick who have weaker immune system have less chance to fight it. 

7. The number is surely going to climb and we have to know about it so to take precautions. 

This is the action that my daughter's preschool takes to prevent the spread.
