      I wrote a short, practical guide on why you should prepare for COVID-19 and how. Forget the doomsday talk and the "prepper" subculture with all its snake oil. You should prepare *now because it's the best thing you can do to help everyone else. Here's how: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/preparing-for-coronavirus-to-strike-the-u-s/ …pic.twitter.com/m1NmwQ5pBM

      You say N95 masks aren't important, but your link to theprepared says N95 masks are essential. Good luck finding any at Walmart, Home Depot, CVS, Amazon, etc. Hoarders already snatched them all up.

      My reading suggests N95 respirators can help if ALL of: * you're not infected * you need to be near people who possibly are infected * you have a good understanding of how to use them properly, AND * you're properly using gloves and eye protection as well.

      I bought some on first week of January, to be honest because, come on, mystery viral pneumonia in China linked to a seafood/wildlife market? It's been obvious for a long time. That said, I was hoping also to go to Hong Kong (higher risk area) and I have gloves and eye protection.

          But I didn't buy tons, and wouldn't have--just enough to take care of someone ill but hospitals are overcrowded or person mildly ill. At this point, though, go with the clinical studies: hand-washing is very effective. Masks for reg people don't have huge effects in literature.
