Should I wear a face mask? Not unless you are the one who is sick. The CDC doesn’t currently recommend any healthy person wear a mask, and doctors warn fiddling with putting on and taking off a mask could backfire by exposing your hands to your face.https://abcn.ws/2wZ48e1

How concerned should I be? Concerned enough to pay attention. Stay on top of CDC updates and guidance, as well as from state and local health departments. Take the time to plan for what you'll do if local transmission of the virus occurs in your city.https://abcn.ws/2wZ48e1

You don’t know the fatality rate is that high. 1 you can’t believe anything from China. 2 many mild cases were never be tested , even in the states only 40 labs could do it. In a month when there’s bedside testing, you’ll get a true picture.

But we can analyze the numbers in North America, Europe and everywhere else in the world. The only continent not infected is Antarctica. The US isn't the center of the world.

“Compared to past coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS, however, most COVID-19 cases are mild.” True, but COVID-19 is considerably more infectious than both.
