How to stop the spread of coronavirus

Covid-19, first seen last year in Wuhan, China, has infected tens of thousands of people and, as of Wednesday 4 March, killed more than 3,000 people globally. As the world faces soaring numbers of infections, the Guardian's health editor, Sarah Boseley, discusses what we can do to protect ourselves

THE EXPERTS: Wash your hands *all* the time. *as regularly as you possibly can*
PERSON WITH OCD: 😶

It makes sense to wear a simple mask and disposable gloves when out in public places. The CDC says the virus is spread from cough and sneezing droplets which could be stopped by a mask. This site doesn’t recommend masks because it says your hands could be contaminated by removing the mask. However, the mask can be removed by gloved hands and using a wipe (bleach or alcohol) to then clean gloves. Look at what the workers are wearing at drive-through testing sites. We should do likewise.

18 months? If you think about it its not insanely long what people have to do is be extremely careful and not forget to wash hands and near too close to each other and we should be fine, seriously

"Hopes for respite in summer when more people are outside" Does anyone else, open up the house windows for 5-10 mins in the morning, even in winter, to "change the air" = get rid of a build up of pathogens?
It's very old fashioned now but common when I was a child.

"The best way to wash your hands is doing so for 20 seconds, which is like singing the 'Happy Birthday' song twice'."

Is counting to 20 too hard? Why does anyone actually think adults need this kind of a parallel? We are doomed.

[ashley-kxg]

Someone said that it’s gonna end in April, who knows?

[lookintomyeyes]

looks like " 5 feet apart " movie reloaded

School should be cancelled now because it will spread quick in schools and everyone will then give it to there family.

[cessm]

This was comforting...until the end: "we SHOULD get through this."

Can also spread through the air so just by breathing you can be infected, just a heads up since she said only by touching things, if that was the case it'd be not as serious.

[MrJason]

I have a question:
Say you get the virus, and you fall ill, and you get a fever and your immune system eventually fights off the virus. Can you get the virus again afterwards? Are you immune to the virus after having your immune system fight it? Would there be a risk of you spreading the virus around to other people who haven't gone through this virus's illness?

[jessbubb]

why am i getting a feeling that the advice givers went wrong somewhere?

[mountkailash]

stay away from any gathering, sit outside not inside of the pub.

[classinstructor]

When will they admit masks do work.... and look at how as a matter of fact she is (and all wrong)
